So we are headed to the C*USA? Harry

We have a new basket ball coach? Are we happy with him? Tasty

How did the the recruiting class turn out? TFLF

I want to thank UNT90 for keeping me up to date on several things!

King! I've been wondering where the hell you been? That work stuff is overrated! Welcome back!

Yes - from the reports were getting - it does appear that you may be needing to make a lot more of those outstanding meatballs for your tailgates in future years!

As for the conference shift...I think we are just waiting for the invite.

Dear DL,

Needed depth in the secondary - signed 5, 1 JUCO, 4 preps. Happy that McCarney didn't panic and oversign JUCO DBs.

2011 OL was surprisingly decent, so it wasn't a glaring need anymore. But, we still picked up one 3-star player there.

Landed a couple of 3-star WRs, a position where we were thin last year. Hopefully, Chaz Sampson emerges enough to be able to redshirt one of them.

Needed DL help, specifically at DT - only signed one DT with any real size. Signed a second one that weighs in at 240. I'm still worried about the DT position; although we do have some experience there for 2012.

Got 3 DEs. Would have rather seen 3 DTs and 2 DEs instead of the other way around; but, you get what you get...and, hope to hell McCarney knows what he's doing.

Other than that, I think we filled in enough to get some depth via redshirting. Unless they are just studs in August, I'm not sure why we wouldn't redshirt all 4 LBs we signed. We signed a pair of RBs who should both be able to redshirt.

Class by position:

DBs - 5

LBs - 4

DEs - 3

OLs - 3

DTs - 2

RBs - 2

WRs - 2

With only Lance gone on offense (yes, I know a big, big "only" considering....), the offense wasn't much of a concern. Glad to see 14 of the 21 signees on the defensive side of the ball; and, best of all, only one of them JUCO!

Now, we just wait to see which ones actually make their grades/test scores. As thin as the secondary is, it'll be a hit if one or two of those don't qualify.

Oh...and, there was a recruiting debate on whether or not to sign a QB every class. We seem to be set there; but, 2010 kind of showed us you really need to be four QBs deep.

We do have a greyshirt DT that has nice size and earned a number of post season awards.

Really good stuff Guys. TFLF thank you for such a detailed and well laid out post. I enjoyed the read and now I am ready to tailgate.

FYI, I was heading north on 35W this afternoon. Just as I was leaving the N. Fort Worth area I passed a billboard that said, "Estimated time 21 - 24 minutes until Alliance."

I think the city knows something.

I know what you mean, but I went up and watched the scrimmage before the Spring Game and he looks really good at TE. In fact he made one great grab that had the whole team pumped. I think he might be a breakout star there in a year or so.
