D.J. Dean on UNT, recruiting

[Harry]

UNT appeared to be out of the running for D.J. Dean, a cornerback from Newton who committed to Utah a few months ago.

Dean said Friday that the situation has changed. UNT is very much in the hunt for the three-star athlete.

“I like the coaching staff at North Texas and the area,” Dean said. “My family is from there. I have uncles and aunts who live in Forth Worth and I have a cousin who lives off of 820, about 15 minutes away. I am

interested in playing close to them.”

Dean was the District 10-2A MVP and helped lead Newton to the state semifinals. He visited Utah and quickly committed to the school before having second thoughts. He decommitted recently.

Newton coach WT Johnston said the idea of going so far away from home started to weigh on Dean.

Come on up D.J.! We could use a guy like you.

Yes, since I've learned that Sergio Medina is being recruited as a LB I'm all for him. He's similar quality as Chad Davis which is to say among the best. Barring injuries, we would have little to worry about at corner for the next five years.

Anyone with any doubts about Medina needs to watch his video (#20): My favorite is at 2:31

Well, that's the bad news. The good news is (1.) there's a lot to like about our the secondary players already committed to us, if we hang on to them, and (2.) our real need is D linemen; if we could get Smart (yeah, pun intended) and Tebo, we should be in good shape on the defensive side.

Agree. Lets see who emerges from walk on also. Maybe some defensive help will come to play

Now that Antione committed, do we still have a spot for Dean, even if he decides to come?
