He said this after he was offered today.

"@Carl_Thompson52: @chaselondon17 you need to walk on somewhere and earn a spot or something! and yeah I got a few schools looking nothing big."

And he said he didn't know if was going to our Jr. day tomorrow. He asked someone what time it was, then complained that it was too long. He's also seen wearing a Northwestern hoodie a lot.

sounds like we got a cool kid on our hands... im pretty sure a d-1 scholarship offer is a big deal.

I get that for a Denton kid UNT isn't the flashiest offer. But he liked the junior day and was impressed. All these kids that visit come away impressed. Wish the initial perception was better, but at least we're impressing the kids who see it first hand and give us a chance.

I like this guy better than Broadnax. Could be a big strongside DE or put 30-40 pounds on him and let him be one-gap 3-tech.

Yeah, I think he would thrive playing the 3-tech. Broadnax at nose at Thompson at the 3 would be really good gets, but it'll be hard to get either of them. Not sure how much Thompson wants to stay in Denton, but apparently he had a good time at junior day.

So that makes two DFW area top 100 that Rice has landed. UTSA has also landed one out of that list. This is our backyard, not theirs. Are we not able, or just not interested?

And UTSA has several players out of the Houston top 100. We have one.

It used to be that a lot of kids from Houston went to NT. But I guess not anymore. This is in general, not necessarily athletics. I see lots of UTSA and TSU stickers on car windows, but rarely a UNT sticker.

Those are highly coveted players and we struggle winning recruiting battles. Hopefully that improves, but until then we need to lean on hitting on our evaluations, getting players whose other offers expire, and developing our guys. Edited by BillySee58

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      Some of you think these professional athletes have to go to classes?

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?
