I haven't seen any uptick in recruiting despite the great season NT has had so far. Obviously, it takes time for recruiting to turn around; but I would have thought NT would be doing better this year with the new conference, great facilities and success on the field.

I really don't want to start another value of the recruiting ratings debate. Because it is endless, but here is where NT is:

Rivals: Doesn't thank much of anyone in CUSA but counting the few three star rated players they have listed at this time:

Rice 4

Old Dominion 3

Marshall 3

La Tech 1

USM 1

Everyone else in next years CUSA 0

ESPN

Old Dominion 7

Marshall 6

Rice 6

USM 6

WKU 5

NT 5

La Tech 3

UAB 2

UTSA 2

You can argue validity of agency ratings, regional bias, etc., but how is NT behind Old Dominion and USM. A complete newbie and a team with a two year losing streak?

Granted, there are much more important issues out there like winning out; but at least this is a current comparison of the conference recruiting. I think NT will move up, so at least this is a reference point.

It already has. Almost every commit so far has had FBS offers and not just offers from military academies, we have beat out some good schools. There are still a bunch of uncommitted players out there who I think we have a strong chance to land. Sure, we haven't landed any 4* defensive lineman, but we're winning battles we haven't won in the past and will finish this class out strong once these guys take their official visits.

Have we not see that the obvious value is in development and coaching over the last year alone. The system is in place... Bring in kids with work ethic and potential, redshirt them, and then develop develop develop. Stars on signing day sell the sizzle. The work year round is the steak baby.

I won't lie. The second I see us sign more stars, I will get excited. However, I also have faith that the kids coming in will fit together and build the whole puzzle.

Great post and I agree wholeheartedly!

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      These conference wishlists are fun to discuss but in no world should UNT share a conference with Tarleton State and SHSU in 2025 lol I’d love being in the PAC as long as some other AAC members follow as a package. That conference wouldn’t be as friendly regionally but there would definitely be more opportunities for national recognition in the PAC especially in basketball.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      TXST in the same conference would be fun, but there are a lot of great moves to make... many of the current teams in our conference need to be kicked out first to avoid cheapening the media payout.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      Before the PAC2 raided the MWC, I had been a supporter of joining a rebuilt PAC, as long as it was a true "Western Conference" of D1, and we shared a nice little 6-8 division with the likes of Memphis, UTSA, Colorado State, Air Force, New Mexico, Tulane, and a Rice or Tulsa. But it did not appear the PAC was going to bring enough programs close to DFW to make the added travel and exit fees worth it. Still don't know how the MWC held onto UNLV and Nevada, otherwise it'd be an even crappier conference than CUSA. But unlike the PAC7, it will still be recognized as an FBS conference next July. Doesn't seem like Memphis, Tulane, and USF will be going there, especially with an unknown TV deal. Ultimately I think with realignment, one of the G6 leagues will dissolve. The American struggles by being a league with several new teams, no notable rivalries, and no regional tie like the PAC, SBC, MWC, and MAC claim. And there are plenty of moves we could make to improve across many sports, but the league is so saturated. If it were up to me, I'd get Rice, Tulsa, Charlotte, Temple out of the conference. Force FAU and UTSA to find a solution to their high school gyms. Add Texas State, James Madison, Liberty, Western Kentucky, Appalachian State, and Louisiana. That would create a 16-team conference with a 8-team West Division UNT would share and play annually against with UTSA, TXST, Tulane, Louisiana, Memphis, Western Kentucky, and UAB. Instead of playing frickin' Temple three times in three years. That would leave us at 15 teams for basketball, I'd add up to three non-football members between Dayton, St. Louis, VCU, Richmond.
