As we enter the last 4-5 weeks of recruiting, I thought it might be helpful to summarize where we are based on all the prior posts and announcements. Please speak up if you see something that is incorrect.

Coach Mac mentioned in one of his end of season press conferences that he is planning to target a certain number of recruits at each position in addition to the transfers he already has lined up.

Based on the early verbal commitments from the summer, plus the recent JUCO signing period, we have 10 HS players that have given verbal commitments plus the 4 JUCO signees. Here is a link to ESPN that lists 13 of these players (ESPN list is missing juco signee, Quentin Brown, DE, 6'3" 230, and HS verbal Sergio Medina, DB, 6'0" 210)

ESPN link: http://espn.go.com/college-sports/football/recruiting/school/_/id/249/north-texas

Assuming the recruits follow through on their verbal commitments and sign in February, so far we have:

0 ATH - goal of 2

5 OL - goal of 4-5

1 DL - goal of 3

3 LB - goal of 3

2 WR - goal of 3-4

1 QB - goal of 1

3 DB - goal of 3-4

0 RB - goal of 0

------------------------

15 - goal of 20-21

In addition to the HS/JUCO recruiting, we have the following transfers

Darius Terrell, WR

Reggie Pegram, RB

Brock Berglund, QB

Carl Caldwell, WR (xfer, but not sure if receiving scholly)

Zed Evans, DB (xfer, but not sure if receiving scholly)

Any other transfers we know about??

Plus, we had two players that were gray shirted out of the 2012 class. Not sure if they are still around and if they will enroll full time and receive their scholarship in the spring, but if they do receive scholarship, they will count against our limit of 25.

Andrew Tucker, RB

Christian Hines, WR

If the numbers are all correct, it looks like we are still looking for a couple of D linemen, a couple of athletes, and 1-2 WRs/DBs. Here's hoping that as the music starts stopping in the next few weeks, we can shake out several 3 star recruits when they realize the power conference scholarship isn't going to materialize.

edit: added Medina

Or wide receiver Aaron Dixon from LD Bell? He finished with 61 catches, 980 yards and 15 touchdowns after rededicating himself following his junior year. He was unstoppable at times and made several clutch plays for the Blue Raiders.

Hard to believe he doesn't show up on the recruiting sites. Assuming there is not some reason for the lack of activity with this guy, seems like a no brainer to go after him.
