Yep...especially the ones that are going to schools we have no business losing out too, even in our current, apparently dire situation. We have to hope we pull a couple big ones in the end and that the diamonds in the rough pan out.

According to Vito it sounds like we are trying hard to hang on to Walling. That would make a pretty big statement if we could sway him back.

Recruiting this year has been solid. We have some kids getting stolen, but that is part of the game.

I am not depressed at this point in the least. I don't like losing lafrance. To a lesser extent, in a position of strength, we might lose a second to smu. I don't like smu, and I don't want to lose anything to the pink polo brigade. HOWEVER, I like the rest of the class, and I have so much confidence our coaches will develop these young men, maximizing their potentials as individual players and as a team.

I trust in Dmac, chico, and the new dc... I am not depressed... Not in the least.

See you Feb 1st. Go mean green!

We have 2 more spots to fill right? We cant sign ALL of these guys...

Exactly! It's human nature...some folks will immediately look to see the negatives while others find something positive in most everything. Just a matter of perspective. I agree with Emitt that it gets a bit depressing reading only the negative, but, we'll see all the "good news" on Feb. 1st.

You got to "know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em" when it comes to recruiting 18 year old kids and their parents. I, too, believe that Mac knows what he is doing and that UNT will have one of the best recruiting classes it has had in several years. Don't despair, come Feb. 1st we'll all know where the chips are falling. I'm thinking that the Mean Green's pot will be full!

You win some you lose some. Recruiting is a complete crap shoot anyways. I believe a good coaching staff can still coach their players to win. Look at Boise and TCU....they have their 1-3 star talent play like 4-5 star talents. And with us being in the Sunbelt I don't think there is any reason why we can't consistently win with just about any decent recruiting class.

      Sorry, if you don't have an SEC or Big10 patch you're not on any lifeboat.

      blowing out a Q3 team should not matter that much, the predicted metrics had us winning by over 10 anyway. For a top 75 school to move up 10 spots at this point in the season usually takes something significant. Usually other schools need to drop down (Dayton did), also McNeese and has been looking good lately, that could also help.

      Agree with this. Denton has never embraced UNT as "it's" school to support with the town.

      Yes, the local media was really hyping the Blizzard of the Century coming today. I could also tell by the hoarding going on and low stock on shelves at the grocery stores.

      I believe we have had more games without classes in session. If someone has the academic calendar handy for this year and last, I can work up the exact numbers. Knowing we would have more games played during the academic break (and the horrible slate of games the AD put together) is exactly why it was critical for the AD to work extra hard getting the surrounding community to the games. I live too far away to know if they've done anything, but based on the results, I don't know if they have...certainly nothing that's moved the needle. It's like they just take time off when students aren't around. We need the so-called t-shirt fans from in and around Denton. What has the AD done to generate excitement and stimulate demand for the program? Whatever it is, it's been a complete failure IMHO. We have a team and program on the rise. It's WINNING games on a regular basis. Based on the last few years, we had a lot of momentum going into this season and it's been squandered in epic fashion. I doubt they are doing anything and just running out the clock waiting for the students to return so they can continue to do nothing. Here's an idea...It seems Jared enjoys his court-side seat. How about running a "switch seats with the AD" promotion? Each half one lucky attendee is drawn and gets to sit court-side and Jared moves to the cheap seats. Who knows, maybe you only get a handful of extra tickets out of it, but we're moving in the wrong direction.
