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

      Caponi fired

      I understand that his decisions to go for it on 4th down so much or not to kick FGs or play the field position game are bad decisions. Just playing Devil's advocate. Could it be that those decisions stem from a lack of confidence in the defense? It feels like he believes he has to score TDs on every possession to win because the defense will not stop anyone. So, that takes me back to he should have never kept Caponi after year one.

      Ladies at ACU

      I went to the game, again we started slow and accelerated in the second quarter outscoring ACU 27-12. We let them back in it and the lead got down to three points twice. But we went on a game-sealing 11-0 run to take a 66-52 lead as Lampkin took over. One of ACU's starting bigs went out late with an apparent back injury. She's from Bixby, Oklahoma, which is where I've gotten my only speeding ticket, so maybe she deserved it. As for the arena, it shares the same name as SMU's (Moody Coliseum) and looks like a carbon copy of TCU's (albeit half the size). Recently renovated and very nice. The ACU men hosted TXST shortly after. Which we could get some better men's/women's doubleheaders and on the weekend to help boost the ladies' attendance.

      Next week's ECU game is our last chance this season to sellout DATCU Stadium

      Will Caponi and the dunk tank make one last appearance at DATCU this weekend?

      Team transportation to San Antonio

      Any word on if Caponi had to drive back to DFW?
