I dont think so. I clicked on the hashtag and it was showing a Greek soccer team.....Maybe he's a huge FIFA fan?

Euroleague (thanks google).

I got curious then gave up after 30 seconds. No idea. Maybe some proclamation of his.

Hopefully he lets us know when he signs here so we can put this mystery to bed ;-)

So what you're saying is that they are wrong 6% of the time? I like my chances.   Back in November, President elect had no chance in hell at winning but.......Well you know what happen.

I'm thinking the AEK deal could be 3 things:

1. An acronym like Always Eating Kickers (replace kickers with any K word)

2. Alpha Sigma Kappa?

3. AEK the soccer team, he didn't start using the hashtag until he left UT. The team was founded by refugees so maybe he feels like a refugee after leaving Austin. We are his destination to be successful back in his home state.

Nothing but opinion, but I think this ship has sailed. I would love to be wrong here, but if he's named his destinations for OVs and we're not on that list, it's unlikely.

I agree but I believe he is going to a JUCO in the area, so maybe thats the reason for no OV?

Cali and Florida are great vacation spots. But sometimes it just nicer to be at home!! One to watch coming down to NSD

If he is staying in TX and going to a JUCO, maybe thats why he took OV to UCLA and FAU... free flight and everything??? hmmm

FWIW, his 247 profile shows warm to UCLA/FAU and cool to everyone else.

It has said that for a while now... should be between UCLA, FAU, NEV, and UNT (in no order)

Unfortunately, landing McNeal seems further out of reach than expected. McNeal said he originally wanted to go to school in Cali and commit to UCLA out of HS, but his mom influenced him to stay in state and go to UT. In his post-OV interview he talked about his aspirations of going to league (potentially after this season) and UCLA's lack of depth at wideout. This guy is a P5 talent, no doubt, but still I'm holding out hope that we can pull it off. Let's hope mom is in his ear again this time and he comes back home!

I'm curious if he even has the grades to transfer.  Reminding me of a few JUCO's we have been excited about recently that never showed up on any campus.

This is an interesting aspect of his recruitment, when you factor in that he was a qualifier out of high school. Given that information, the fact that he wasn't a mid-term guy leads me to believe grades were an issue at least at some point, if not still.

There was some really poor timing for DeAndre with the dismissal from the team at Texas (didn't that occur in August?), which may have impacted transcripts and transferrable credit hours. He is taking classes currently at a local Juco near home.

He was gone before the semester started.

Gone at the beginning of fall camp. The timing was obviously poor for the kid, as teams were already in fall camp. The question would be, did this impact transcripts in any way, and is that why he is taking classes locally? I'm not sure how we would know...

Fall camp starts before the semester. He was gone by August 15th and classes started August 24th. I don't see how that wouldn't impact any transcripts.

I guess it took them a minute to realize we had offered. I sure hope Golden Showe...I mean Hurricane fans appreciate our coaches doing their recruiting for them.

McNeal retweeted McGehee's commit tweet. Maybe a glimmer of hope?

Maybe....I Hope.....But not too many stars follow their punter teammate somewhere. I have seen stranger things happen though

Yeah, a lot of kids will re-tweet out their friends commitments and offers no matter where they are going.

      Why Support this Program?….Seriously!?

      Respectfully Darrell Dickey was one Big West season away from being fired. If the Sun Belt hadn’t fallen into his lap he’d have been gone at the end of 2001. And yes Dickey had tough out of conference games, but he also lost to both Troy and FAU during the 26 game conference win streak (they just weren’t in our conference yet). From 2001 to 2004 he only beat 3 bowl eligible teams. Here is a snippet from one of my prior posts on Dickey. I doubt anyone would say ULM had facilities advantages on us, even in 2001. ************ From October 13, 2001 to September 10, 2005, Dickey’s teams won 26 consecutive conference games. The streak was bookended by wins over the MUTS. The week before the streak started we lost to 2-9 conference mate ULM. The game that ended the streak was a loss to 4-7 Troy. The combined record for the 26 teams run through was 99-203. If you exclude the 26 losses from NT, their combined record was 99-177. Of those 26 wins, just three came against bowl-eligible teams. Additionally, we lost to future conference mates Troy at the end of ‘01 and FAU at the start of ‘04 which would’ve shrunken the streak to 13 games if they had been in our conference at the time. *************

      An Old Fan's Advice To You Young Fans

      I definitely understand we lack financial prosperity like other colleges not far from us. However, I also have to look at the amount of resources and $$$ we will continue to “lose” by allowing the program to continue faltering. SL got us one step above. EM and company is endangering this program to take a step back down figuratively. We had a great opportunity this season to present “our brand” to a national audience, and I’m afraid we showed it.

      Is this the best team UNT has ever had?

      And that is certainly one of the opinions about NT football of all time.
