I noticed quite a few kids in shorts and green jerseys, some with names and some without. Not counting our current injured players that were also dressed the same way, were these unrecognizables recruits? There must have been at least a dozen that I noticed, if not more.

Saw a couple of boys with Nevada Community shirts on. They're not really known as a football powerhouse but who knows? We had a RB from there back in the Fry era named Billy Cox.

At half time, I went down to the concession area to check out the scene, and to get a BBQ sandwich.

I noticed a man who looked like a NT coach, but I am not sure who he was. This guy had 7 recruits with him,

goofing around. The coach was on his cell phone several times, telling someone where

he and his recruits were located. I kept trying to see the recruits name on their name tags, but the writing on their

name tags were to small to read. I was standing a few feet away. There were 3 other MG fans standing close by trying

to figure out who these recruits were too.

The 7 recruits looked like 3 line men (big guys 6-4 range), 2 WR/DB types (tall, 6-2, 6-3, solid builds) and one recruit

that looked like big LB about 6-3, 240. I am 6-1. I was shorter than all of the 7 recruits.

I am puzzled as who the "coach" was that was handling these 7 recruits. I checked the MGS board, coaches,

and did not see the guy handling the recruits listed as a coach.

Might be a grad assistant. I'm told they occasionally do a little coaching.

Thanks Emmitt!

You are probably right about a grad assistant handling the 7 recruits.

Who ever the "coach" was handling the recruits, the coach was handling the recruits very well.

All of the recruits were very happy, joking with each other, and clearly having a good time!

Interesting that we brought in at least a couple of 2014 qbs, considering we already have a commitment from Connor Means. Means hasn't had a very impressive senior year so maybe the coaches want to have a backup plan.

What was the difference between the recruits in the stands and the recruits down on the sidelines in shorts and jerseys?

Recruits don't wear jerseys or hold up signs on the sidelines. In fact they probably aren't on the field during the game. You probably saw backups, redshirts, or injured players and maybe a combination of all 3.

I am pretty familiar with our roster. I definitely saw some of our injured/redshirt players, they were easy to spot.

However I also saw more than a dozen young looking players with names that are not on our roster and several without names on their jerseys at all. They looked like high school aged kids.

Does anyone have any insight as to what the story was regarding the kids on the sideline?

      KState MBB and Jerome Tang: What is going on?

      Is something brewing at Kansas State? Wasn't Tang the next big, up-and-coming coach? Achor Achor, who transferred from Samford to Kansas State, has been dismissed from the men's basketball team after playing in just seven games. His performance this season saw him averaging 7.3 points and 2.7 rebounds, a significant drop from his time at Samford. This marks the second consecutive year that Kansas State has dismissed a player mid-season, raising questions about team cohesion and management under coach Jerome Tang. While some sources suggest the dismissal was due to conduct detrimental to the team, the exact reasons remain officially undisclosed. This development adds to the ongoing narrative of challenges within the Wildcats' program. source

      Bye Bye....Topic?

      I not sure about sisters, but they are both cut from the same cloth. @Censored by Laurie supports a young man that decided to take the law into his own hands by murdering a healthcare CEO in cold blood thus throwing his support behind murder as an option for dealing with those he disagrees with Funny how we know more about this assassin in 48 hours than we know about the kid that tried to assassinate a nominee for president five months ago. Let that sink in and question why the media only does their job half the time He and @Coffee and TV will throw out smart ass quips at those they disagree with. It’s how they operate. Speaking of “bye bye topic”, this one will be locked and gone shortly.

      Is the Portal out of control?

      Yep. The system can’t have it both ways. Either pay the kids a salary and let them pay for their schooling or stick with the scholarship system. Having hardworking students pay an “athletics fee” to support these programs while these athletes are getting a salary on top of all the benefits of their scholarship is system set up to fail.

      Is the Portal out of control?

      Because it is a bullshit system. I don’t need some kid running a podcast that gives him the attitude that he is all knowing to tell me that his opinion on the system is better than mine. It is what it is. I don’t like it. I see kids chasing dollars hoping to secure their future and probably forgoing their education. Do you really think Chandler Morris is worth the reported $1 million dollars Okie St is throwing at him? Do you think Ohio State’s $200 million payroll provided a solid return? It is not a sustainable system and is not being administered as intended. These collectives are paying kids a salary to just be on the team. It has nothing to do with marketing their likeness, their name or their image. It has turned our program into nothing more than a prep program for the P4 teams. We, UNT, spend time and money developing kids for what? For them to move along to the highest bidder and we get $0 in return. It is not a sustainable system. Why do “G5” donors want to throw money at these kids that have zero loyalty to us? What is the return? Hopefully 9 or 10 wins, a conference title and some BS bowl game only to watch our best players walk prior to the bowl game/playoffs? Sorry but the dialogue and “talking points” haven’t changed. It is nothing more than a game of greed. This is college sports with misplaced priorities that are ruining the game, in my humble opinion. That satisfy you?
