Chris Loving is going to get a second chance to play football on the FBS level. The Blinn College product said tonight that he is seriously considering making UNT the place he finally reaches his goal.

Loving will take an official visit to UNT this weekend.

“I’m pretty excited about maybe playing at North Texas,” Loving said. “The coaches made it sound like a fun place to be. I know coach [Mike] Grant and talked to the new tight ends coach they just hired [Tommy Perry]. I really like the program. They said that the program is on its way up and I can be a part of it.”

Loving was an honorable mention All-Southwest Junior College Football Conference selection last season and was a standout player at Klein. The question when it comes to Loving has always been his grades.

Texas A&M, Miami, Utah, Colorado State and UTEP were among the teams that offered him a scholarship when he was a senior in high school. Loving didn’t qualify and ended up at Blinn.

Well if he does have a K-State offer than we may have a problem. That said, this kid is a legit player -- if we can get him eligible, even if we don't see him till the Fall I say go for it.

Frankly - I'm somewhat surprised that K-State would offer him based on the fact he isn't going to be eligible until the Fall but it also could mean they see him as an impact guy.

This one will be interesting to follow.

Yeah, but you have to consider that Bill Snyder is the all-time Junior College Recruiter. I'm sure he can live with it.

Not to be a downer, but we all know the history of the late qualifying JUCO. I would bet less than half ever qualify.

Fingers crossed (not for the committment, but that he actually has his grades in order at the end of the semester).

Everyone seems to want UNT to recruit top notch athletes being recruited by the big boys, yet when we do, folks throw their hands up and say UNT cannot compete with the big boys. Interesting that these folks get what they want and then they still aren't happy. Just can't please some folks it seems.

For me, I like to see UNT stepping up its recruiting .... will win some...will lose some....but at least UNT will be in the hunt!

Sign this kid, and get him in class. He might be ready to study for a change as well as play football.

      Caponi fired

      Did he keep him because of lack of $$ to fire him last year? Or was he given another year to add players, make adjustments, etc to see if improvement? I don’t know, but guessing our budget factored into it.

      2025 DC Wish List

      Jeremiah Johnson from La Tech. My #1 choice no to high school DC, they have no clue to the portal and I don’t feel a great source of talent judgement. Carthel I don’t think would come for a coordinator role even for 200k more. He was my choice for HC after SL. if Johnson tells us no, look at the D2 level. D2 coordinators are more aggressive recruiting and better judges of talent. They are constantly trying to sell “snow to eskimos”. Bringing in particular kids from the portal with 1/2 schollys and inadequate facilities filling holes left by transfers etc. They are hustlers AND they won’t be afraid to come in with a hot seat coach, because of the confidence in their own skill . They will be more aggressive, But will adapt to the personnel they have in the cupboard. I’m also not sure we are getting any value from our recruiting gurus and support staff and we may need to revamp in that area for sure. Question our dfw high school coaches and get their recommendations for a DC We can do a little research in the D2 level and save money on a search committee lol
