UNT picked up a commitment from Paris linebacker Sed Ellis yesterday. I talked with Ellis and his high school coach Berry Bowman for a few minutes this afternoon.

Ellis is one of those all-around good high school athletes. He normally plays defensive end for Paris, but moved to outside linebacker for the last half of last season.

The move turned out to be one that helped Ellis’ stock. He played well enough at the spot for five or six games to be named to the All-District 15-3A team as a linebacker.

He will likely be a two-star, maybe a three-star recruit but has all of the essentials to be coached into a four-star athlete. The choice is a little scary in that he's not an improvement over Sun Belt quality but I trust this staff to get the athletes that they feel will excel in our new environment.

Yes, please explain. This is a big and fast linebacker. His size (6'3'' 200 lbs) could easily (probably) be 6'4'' 230 lbs by the time he hits the field for us. That is an NFL sized linebacker bro.

I think Gray, like me, is hoping for some bonnafide 3 star action in the recruiting season. Ya, I know, stars don't necessarily mean production on the field, but I would be willing to bet 3 star athletes are far more successful as a whole than 2 stars. Same when comparing 4 to 3 stars, etc...

Yes, the 2 star diamonds in the rough are out there, but they aren't common.

Personally, I am looking forward to the first football Tony Mitchell. It's gotta happen... Right... ???

Yes, it's gonna happen. As far as the star stuff goes - if this guy can play he will be a 3 star because of the size and speed.

We have 10 LB's on the roster and here's the breakdown:

Six are listed at 6'0''

One listed at 6'1''

Four listed at 6'2''

One listed at 6'3''

This kid has not even started his senior season so I'm guessing he's 17 or 18 years old. This kid has at least another 5 years of growth in the height department. He will get bigger.

      Go to YOUTUBE and request Army/UNT highlights. They had them a few hours after the game yesterday. I don't know about the entire game.

      ***OFFICIAL ARMY VS MEAN GREEN IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      The stats with context tell us more. I feel like Army kept the defense on the field on purpose to limit a famously high flying North Texas team. I agree we had turnovers- how effective were they? How many 1st downs did army have in a single drive? Army never turned the ball over on downs with high 3rd down efficiency. We lucked out on the fumble from the RB. How long did it take to get the turnover? How was the field position that the defense earned? Those are better questions. Our defense did a lot and I loved seeing the sack, near fumble (ruled an incompletion), interception, and lack of penalties(that pass interference in the red zone hurt) to deflate their passing game- all 4 attempts. Then, they took us on the ground. Daily slid early to drain more time on a run near the 50. They line up with the same formation for an easy read to gain a yard or two, but, more importantly, the clock starts back up. This was triple option football and I feel like we failed to disrupt their plans. I want us to be better on all sides of the ball. I don’t a moral victory. I want us to acknowledge that Army, just like Tulane 2 weeks ago, used the run effectively against the defense. However, they used it to play at their tempo/style limiting our offense time on the field. I love the heart these players showed. I feel like any one of those teams from Army’s past 13 games are not the caliber we should be proud of being better than (except Coastal and Navy). Watching at army launch the ball vs Temple, Tulsa, & UAB was insane. But Daily is a okay QB that fits the triple option scheme as a runner primarily. Horvath is a miracle for service academy passing. Daily has 51 passing attempts YTD versus Horvath’s monstrous 117 attempts for a service academy. Daily has the same interception rate as Henigan. I’ll see y’all in San Antonio. I’m still excited to see this team play and I know we can win out the season. I just feel like they were par for the course this Army weekend. If anyone complained about the DC all season, this game should not sway someone.
