that is a "cool" pic. off season is so important this year.

but this pic also makes me ask....Indoor facility????

My answer is that I hope one is in the near future for recruiting purposes. What I want to say is, "Really? Football is an outdoor sport and a little weather is good for everyone."

reference the first part of your response along with the progression of all aspects of the game....i.e., better equipment, better facilities. I like many of your on here played in a time when a concussion = getting your bell rung....a broken finger was diagnosed as a jammed finger and taped to the next finger and go for more, and training inside meant going to the gym if there was an absolute turd floater going on. i agree that training in your element whether it be hot or cold can be and is beneficial. training in a controlled environment during extreme weather...some of the time....gives you more productive training. do you think that all the colleges and high schools add indoor facilities for the one purpose of recruiting? i dont think so. and there are far more colleges that dont have them and i dont expect UNT to have one anytime soon if at all. it was just a casual observation.

but that is a cool pic

Well I know Arky State is building a 22 million dollar indoor practice facility so let's say the writing is on the wall.

The good news is we have plenty of land to build it on at Eagle Point.

So many facilities -- in such a short time...

Don't indoor practice facilities cost money to build and maintain?

Hey, this is a really neat photo. Thanks for posting it...what's a little snow? No hill for these climbers! Go get 'em Mean Green!

Hard to believe that spring practice is right around the corner.

Rick has said in the past that an indoor facility is a priority. The basketball practice facility is complete so now baseball is high on the list. A new track venue will be needed but I've never heard a time frame of when it would be needed. I would expect to have an indoor facility within a decade at worst case. It could be much sooner if donors can be found.

So are we never going to finish Waranch?

Someone with deep pockets has suddenly appeared for ARSt. Or did they pass a new student fee like we did?

I believe the Ark governor has some history with or taken a shine to ArkSt and has been drumming up a lot of support for them recently. ArkSt fan can surely clear this mystery up.

He's a graduate, and his support is nothing new. But their recent success, as well as having Malzahn for a coach, has really gotten people excited. We'll see if they can keep it up with no Malzahn and no Aplin.

Harry, where did the 22 mil number come from? Sure sounds like a bunch of money for essentially a metal building. Large in size but still a metal siding building for the most part. Offices, heating and a/c, etc., can ramp the cost up but 22 mil is a ton of money. Edited by DeepGreen

If I had to guess, Deep, it would not be state money, but private funds from supporters of Ark St and/or the governor who has history of being able to shake money from donors. Remember, Arkansas is not like Texas where support is divided between many mant D1 universities. In Ark, the choices are a tad more limited if you want to support a "home team".

But, remember, UNT doesn't need any money...so don't worry. These things will just pop up on their own overnight at UNT. Who needs folks to step up a bit and help...what the heck. Stuff just happens.

      2025 Spring Portal Entries

      For 2025 we have 12 recruits (11 high school and 1 JUCO, I believe). We have 26 transfers in and 30 transfers out (although not all have found new schools). This is what it is now, a revolving door roster although not to the level we saw last year. It will be interesting to see what the recruit (high school/JUCO) to transfer is over time. For 2025 for every 1 recruit, we brought in 2.36 transfers. It seems this is what we've been asking for...to hit the portal hard, but is this ratio too low, too high or just right?

      Lorient in the Portal

      I hope he sticks around, but as I said numerous times throughout the season I would never want to trust him as a number 1 option for our '25 roster, so if the investment has to be between B-Lo and a big time scoring guard, give me the latter.

      When the hell did we sign this guy?

      My point was that despite the offer list 247 rated him this highly giving their honest evaluation. Of the next 30 running backs ranked below him, 26 are committed to power teams including Tennessee A&M Michigan penn state USC. Obviously they see something in him to give him that kind of ranking.

      Jason Edwards transfers to....Providence?

      When players arrive via the portal, no one should be surprised when they leave via the portal. Many (most?, not sure) have agents managing these moves on their behalf. They are not student athletes anymore. We should simply view them as paid mercenaries for their respective sports.
