A few players showing early reported interested. Showing interest may mean nothing, so take from it what you will. Just some guys that may be worth keeping an eye on, in addition to the junior day invitees (some on this list).

Wyatt Santos, offensive guard, Van, Texas. Brother of Texas linebacker Dalton Santos. Former teammate of current Mean Green D-lineman Syd Moore.

Phillip Haynes, O-lineman, Memphis, Tennessee.

Not sure how legitimate his interest is in us, but does already hold offers from two Texas schools in Texas Southern and UTSA. Big kid.

I believe Reese is the brother of the Wyoming transfer

Really? Very possible. Would be nice if they are at least cousins or something. Looks like they went to different high schools, but both from Tyler.

One player we offered who I have not made a thread for is Jalin Barnett, a 5-star o-lineman out of Lawton, Oklahoma. http://247sports.com/Player/Jalin-Barnett-27402

Barnett is a long shot at best, but one of his teammates is very intriguing to me. His name is Mahlik Hanna, and he's a ~ 6'1" 182 lb linebacker

http://rivals.yahoo.com/footballrecruiting/football/recruiting/player-Mahlik-Hanna-156933

Hanna will be a 3-year starter at Lawton, one of the premier programs in the state of Oklahoma. He's an undersized linebacker who likely projects to safety in college, and that's where most of his D1 looks will likely come at. However, I think he has John Skladany outside linebacker written all over him. Can absolutely run sideline to sideline and hits with some authority. Great closing speed. Had 111 tackles, 3 sacks, and 3 interceptions as a junior. If he continues to grow and improve near the way he did in between his sophomore and junior year, Hanna could be a great fit in our defense. It'll be interesting if he comes down to Denton and the coaches see him in person this summer, because I could easily see them falling in love with his game and trying to get him.

Here's Hanna's film.

How often have we offered 5-stars? I know in most cases, especially lineman, they are about as long a shot as you can get.

But why not throw a few offers on the table every year? You never know what might happen?

I am with you... Why not? Can't hurt. Do I think we would get any? No. Still should try.

Maybe a 4 or 5 star in Norman, LA, Jacksonville, St. Louis etc. wants to get away from home. Maybe they have family ties in DFW. Offer these guys. At the very least it will market the North Texas brand by simply sitting on their offer lists.

Careful. All highlight tapes are great, so you better rely on watching them in person before you can make a true assessment.

I'm well aware of that and I have no doubt we've offered zero players before we got a chance to see them in person. The player above has great size and vision, and plays at a high school where a 2014 commit played. Hopefully the coaches will get a chance to evaluate him at a camp this off season.

I think there has got to be a niche market for 5 star DL guys who want to major in music. Specifically I am referring to jazz majors. I haven't done the research but there have GOT to be some big time recruits out there who have a true love for jazz.

Probably, we just have to find him.

This. It would be impossible to do both.

wow, both of you thought I was being serious. In all seriousness - I think we have an untapped theoretical physics and macroeconomics double major NT FB walkon market we are not reaching.

doesn't sound like he'll even consider UNT:

"I went to UNT, but I didn't really enjoy my time there. It just wasn't the place for me. I didn't get to talk to the coaches. And the coaches are the biggest factor. I also want to feel comfortable, be close to home and go somewhere that has a really good education."

Who reported that? Was it another school site?
