Good get . If we could add Beard too , that be 1 heck of a solid foundation upfront

Absolutely. Those would be two solid guys who could project to multiple positions on the offensive line.

Don't forget about Avery Fortenberry, Aaron Fortenberry's little brother. Avery just graduated high school but iirc he was given a grayshirt offer, which means he might be part of this class at offensive line as well.

Watch his HUDL film! You will see why he had so many offers. Kid is a wall -- very good feet. Great pickup. Future of the UNT O-Line looks great!

I wonder if they are looking at the guard on his side, #74 because he looks good too.

This. With the young group of OL's on the depth chart, these two would be my targets for this class along with Lundblade from Liberty Christian.

So, tell me again who is considered the Harvard of the southwest?

Welcome aboard big Chris!

Multiple offers...I like it... while he is pulling around to lead block for a screen pass, he's calculating how much force is being applied to truck some poor safety...springing the jimmy show for yet another 85 yard td catch and run!

This is why it is so important that we win NOW!!! We've got a very small window in which to take advantage of all of the excitement generated by Apogee, Coach Mac, etc.

On a much smaller scale, this is similar to the situation that aTm was in last year. Their future depended on how well they showed to be competitive in the SEC. Their long term future depended on which cycle they ended up establishing, success->good recruiting->success or failure->diminished recruiting->failure. Now, aTm probably wasn't going to be a Vanderbilt, but they needed the success to not be an Ole Miss

We have one of the rare opportunities that come along to allow one of the have-not's to break out of the failure cycle an we can't afford to blow it.

Win NOW, baby!!

Great comparison. Obviously our situation is on a smaller scale than A&M, but if we have a good year our recruiting will continue to blow up. This little recruiting hot streak we're on should show us that we have great potential, seeing that we're only beginning to tap it.

Coaches have a lot to do with it and the facilities, but I also think CUSA affiliation is starting to help in recruiting as well. It is a confluence of factors coming together and if we add a strong winning season this year, the sky is the limit for the future. As many know, it is now mainly up to winning to start unveiling our huge potential. As for academics, I think slowly UNT is starting to change its reputation, which I think is apparent with how some of these new recruits think highly of UNT as an academic institution. Mind these are recruits with top Ivy-league offers. We'll benefit not only from good athletes but also from smart and intelligent student athletes as great ambassadors. I like the impetus the 2014 recruiting class is garnering for the future. Let's keep doing our part and get other people excited about UNT!

I'm sure Houston Coog, or whatever he calls himself, will tell us that Houston really wasn't that interested in our new recruit.

Haven't you ignored that person yet?

Love seeing a recruit from Flower Mound. We need to keep the Flower Mound - Marcus - Lewisville pipeline open all the way to Mean Green Village!

      Vito kicking UNT in the nuts again

      Vito is lost in sports writer hell. He lives by the standard that it is the job of sport writer to be neutral. I imagine he is as tired of covering NT as a lot of NT fans are tired of his coverage. He is lucky in a way that the DRC is still one of the few newspapers that still exist. He has won a lot of awards, not only because he is a competent writer; but there is little computation.

      2025 Projected Depth Chart

      I know this is still subject to change, but with a lot of transfers signed I figure we have enough to get a pretty good idea on what our depth chart will look like next year. This includes all scholarship players and walkons who are in the depth chart. Did my best guess based on Sam Houston’s positions listed on their defensive depth chart (12 spots based on the packages) and where our guys were listed, as well as their guys who we are bringing over. Took some best guesses with guys who weren’t in the two deep/newcomers. Save your comments about how the transfer portal sucks and this could change so much between now, etc. That was always the case this many months out, but we have a pretty good idea based on the guys who actually play or we are bringing in. The bottom of the depth chart guys leaving is expected but doesn’t really change things. Asterisk indicates newcomer: Z - JR Landon Sides RS FR Kyle Koch RS FR Mason Ferguson *FR Tyler Smith Y - SO Miles Coleman X - *SR Cameron Dorner RS FR Baron Tipton H - SO Wyatt Young JR Dalton Carnes LT - *RS SR Jimto Obidegwu RS SO Keon Johnson RS FR Christian Pettway FR Jordan Reasonover LG - SO Braydon Nelson RS FR Paul Gurrola C - RS SR Gabe Blair RS FR Amarion Berry RG - RS JR Johnny Dickson RS SO Julio Madero RS FR Matthew Reed RT - RS SR Larry Moore RS SO Desmond Magiya RS SO Isaac Sohn *FR Roberto Rodriguez TE - SO Brandon Young *SR Tre Williams RS SR Xzavior Kautai *RS SO Connor Vaughn RS FR Victor Aderungboye QB - *SR Reese Poffenbarger RS FR Drew Mestemaker RS FR Cash McCollum *FR Chris Jimerson RB - SR Damashja Harris *JR Jayden Becks RS SO Makenzie McGill SO Kiefer Sibley JR Zach Evans RS FR Ashton Gray *FR Caleb Hawkins Defense DE - SR Breylon Charles *RS SO Demetrie Morgan *RS FR Josh Pierce NT - *JR Quincy Wright SO Jayden Williams SR VJ Bronson DT - *RS SR Richard Outland RS SR Fehi Vailea RS FR Jaedon Langley JACK - *SR Briceon Hayes RS FR Zhaiylen Scott *RS FR Will Smith *FR Brayden Knox SLB - RS JR Ethan Wesloski RS SR Chavez Brown *RS SO S’maje Burrell MLB - *SR Trey Fields RS SO JJ Jean-Louis WLB - SR Shane Whitter SO Kabriel Anderson-Dale FS - *SR DJ Warnell Jr JR BJ Allen RS FR Chris Gant SS - JR Evan Jackson SO Quinton Hammonds RS FR Jaydon Smith RS SR Isheem Young NB - *RS SR Da’Veawn Armstead RS SO Taylor Starling RCB - *RS SR David Fisher RS SO Kollin Lewis RS FR Gabe Stroud LCB - RS SO Brian Nelson JR X’Avion Brice K - RS SO Kali Nguma JR Blake Ford RS FR Miguel Arenas P - SR Sawyer Evans SR Seth Ford

      Chris Jimmerson

      So similar to Jimerson's recruitment in that nobody really wanted to give either a scholarship at QB. Thanks for the insight. Colorado just signed ESPN's #2 overall prospect in Julian Lewis at QB. If Lewis works out, how does it benefit either party for Jimerson to go sit on the bench behind a top QB prospect? They also signed one of Jimerson's teammates so clearly they aren't high on Jimerson as it is.

      Big Rondel Walker fan. Great leader and love his "do anything" approach.
