Looking at UNT’s 2013 recruiting class — Part I

[Harry]

Now that we have all had a chance to digest what UNT came up with in
its 2013 signing day class, it’s time to take a look at what went right,
what went wrong and what it all means to the future of the program.

Today, we look at how UNT addressed its immediate needs from the JUCO/transfer ranks.

We will get to whether UNT upgraded its overall talent level, landed
the playmakers it needs and built for the future from the high school
ranks later.

UNT didn’t lose a lot of key players to graduation, but several of
them were key players at vital spots. Defensive end K.C. Obi led the
Mean Green in sacks and tackles for loss. Tight end Andrew Power was a
huge part of making UNT’s running game effective, Ivan Delgado was one
of UNT’s most productive receivers and Jeremy Brown was a vital part of
UNT’s running back rotation. Center Aaron Fortenberry was UNT’s only
first-team All-Sun Belt selection and he was also a senior.

UNT went heavy on transfers and JUCO players — largely because there
were not a lot of guys who have been developed over the last few years
to fill the void.
