Johnavon Grahm, a defensive end from DeSoto, became the first player to commit to UNT for its 2014 recruiting class tonight.

Grahm (6-1, 250) was a first-team All-District 7-5A selection last season. UNT was the first team to offer him a scholarship, although several other schools were showing interest. He was recruited by Ryan Walters, UNTs new cornerbacks coach.

UNT has a signed a host of players from DeSoto over the last few years, including linebacker Zach Orr, who played a key role in recruiting Graham.

After talking to coach Walters and Zach Orr, I felt like North Texas is a good fit for me, Grahm said. I fit into their scheme, can make their defensive line better and become a leader.

This is earlier than we've gotten commits the last two years.

This is a huge get. He'll have a chance to play from day 1 and we can keep our De Soto pipeline going. Being a multi-year starter at that school tells me he's earned his stripes and has competed with the best. Very promising. Let's win some games now.

This is an under-the-radar selection but I don't understand why. It seems to me that a 1st team all-district selection in Texas should show up on at least one of the recruiting lists.

I think that Graham will be good in his own right but if he also helps land Nick Orr that's even better.

And UNT90, this year good, big DTs rank right below hen's teeth in scarcity.

I really like that he's working on baby Orr already.

Desoto is full of D1 talent every year.

Absolutely! Trice is on Orr too.

For those who sometimes seem to forget: This is a good reminder that both players and recruits read this board.

I would think his height is the issue. Listed at 6'1", and we all know what that means.

Never understood why height was so important on the DL (unless being taller means you can add more weight). Booger is the gold standard for under-heighted defensive linemen.

      Anyone remember...

      When we started 2-0, then we were 3-1, then 4-1, then 5-1? Of course four of those wins were against FBS opponents that are now collectively 11-25 and a now 6-4 FCS opponent. But, 5-1, damnit! Yeah, good times. How is everyone feeling about the UTSA game or a surging ECU? I'm thinking It's a good thing we still have Temple on the schedule.

      Parking

      I missed the creation of the Brown lot. Is this the first year of it's existence? One of our crew went early enough to be first to park in that lot Saturday. He was just carrying a plastic grocery bag of snacks so it worked well for him, priced $15. GMG

      The Black Lot was easy-peasy. Up your game.

      McGill scored in the 2nd Quarter.

      The McGill non-TD was 50/50. With my green glasses on, the ball broke the goal line more or less as his knee hit. The problem was that they didn’t call it a TD and therefore harder to call the TD on replay when that close. The real problem is our inability to get TDs when in the redzone, particularly short yardage. Can’t run for one yard and it’s pathetic. Should never need to pass from the one yard line and if we do it should be some kind of play action misdirection to a block and release TE. The play calling in general was terrible this game. The decision making (on sides kick) was even worse. On a related note, the non-fumble and the PI call were ridiculous. I can sort-of, kind-of see the PI call because it was a bang bang play and refs are human, but the fumble was a fumble and they got it wrong live and on replay. The AD needs to file a protest to the league. That ref should be suspended.

      McGill scored in the 2nd Quarter.

      So was the radio play-by-play. Wish there was a video replay for me to see this. I also wish there was better checks-and-balances. In the NFL, can't a team submit a replay of a call to the NFL office for review, even if it doesn't mean a change in the final score? At least there would be some transparency and accountability. Based on the radio play by play, you would think that giving McGill the TD was a no-brainer, and the game might have ended up very differently. An option offense playing from behind is very different from one playing to keep a lead.. (granted, it was still early in our game)
