We will reel this one in. Noah Joseph has been assigned his "recruiter." That means Marcus Trice will also be helping. It is a great time to be a fan of North Texas

[BillySee58]

There's a reason he's a 4-star on 247 and the 20th ranked JUCO player in the country. This would be a big get. He'd very likely come in and start in place of Bellazin and Daryl Mason would take Sarge's spot. Throw in pass-rush specialists like Quenton Brown and Chad Polk (has looked very good this year) and we could have a decent looking rotation. Also, since he's so big, we could easily slide him in at tackle on third-down and let him go one on one against a guard.

Not to mention young guys like Jarrian Roberts will allow us to redshirt incoming freshman Johnavohn Graham.

Really like this guy's film. He should be our number one priority.

Boy this would be a huge pickup!

Can coach basketball?

[UNTLifer]

What about his teammate?

Reminds me of the story of the old bull and the young bull standing on the hill looking down over a pasture of lovely cows. The young bull, all hyped up and excited says, "Let's run down there and screw one them, can we, can we, huh?" The old bull replies, "Calm down, let's walk down there and screw them all." We now belong with the "big boys" and need to send Noah and Trice in to get them both.

@.56 is that a castle in the background???

[GMG24]

He just got an offer from WVU and is planning a trip in the next week. UNT better cross there fingers he doesn't qualify. I don't see us pulling him from the likes of WVU

You never know. WVU is a bottom rung Big 12 team, another season like this and they will be looking for a new coach.

[GMG24]

Top of or bottom of Big 12 doesn't matter. It is big 12. That is like a big 12 school saying ya well they're only being recruited by bottom rung SEC it is still SEC. I love UNT but the seemingly flippant attitude towards big 12 is somewhat comical.

I agree with you, not the analogy. If that big 12 school is Texas, OU, or OK St (maybe even Baylor) they can win recruiting battles all day against bottom rung SEC schools like Kentucky, Miss St, and a few others.

No. It does matter. We've beaten WVU for recruits recently, along with Kansas, KSU, and ISU. A bottom rung Big 12 school that's out of state is still a tough win for us but it happens.

Didn't we just beat out Colorado, a PAC 12 school, for Goree?

[GMG24]

Good point, however, those schools would still at least get the ear of a recruit because they are SEC at least thats IMO. Please don't take my post as I am saying I don't want this kid. I would love him, but I think some people (no one in particular) think just because we had a winning season all of a sudden this border line guys are going to jump on the UNT wagon.

[GMG24]

While your point is decent, let me throw this out there (not to attack just to shed light b/c I do think that the Goree get is HUGE. Colorado just finished

4-8 this season 1-8 against pac 12 schools. There other 3 wins (Colorado State, Central Arkansas, and Charleston Southern). There previous record since joining the Pac 12 was (4-21) and in conference it was (3-15). I believe West Virginias recent success in the national spotlight has kept them afloat with swinging recruits and I know close to the same can be said of West Virginias (more recent) lack of success could help us swing the DT. My main point in saying what I said above was that it was a bit bothersome that UNT fans seem to think they have the luxury of just saying we want that guy and assume he's coming. We will have to work very hard to get someone of this guys talent level.

I believe Coach Mac and his recruiting coordinators and recruiters will bring in the RIGHT players with talent. I think they've worked very hard at creating a culture at UNT where the majority of our players are good people and good players. I love my school and am having a blast with all the excitement that continues to grow with our success. After all that rambling I think I made the point I was originally trying to make.

Guy showing up on the radar again with a 9 offers will take 5 official visits. Looks like he will take his time. Some big names involved but you never know... 6-4, 265 defensive end. Hope we were one of the 5!

That Texas offer worries me. If the new staff keeps that offer extended and goes after him then it'll be tough to say the least. You gotta be able to recruit with the big dogs to get the big dogs.

[PlummMeanGreen]

Just tell him he'd be the next Mean Joe Greene, sign him and move onto the next defensive lineman.

Ain't winning and all its percs fun? We know we won't sign them all but we are getting listed more

on multi-stars recruits visits list. That is where it all begins.

GMG!

Problem is, many of them don't know Joe Greene?
