Scout's Greg Powers compliments UNT Football Program

[Harry]

Q: Can you talk about the state of the North Texas football program as it comes to recruiting?

A: I actually think that things are certainly on the rise there or at the very least trending in a more positive direction here recently. They have a nice new stadium and had a very good season on the field in 2013, which spurred the best signing class that I have seen them have in my time covering the region. The Class of 2014 commitment list is littered with prospects who I recall being very solid high school talents

I think he's looking at our skill position signees. No one questions their talent. How are we doing in the trenches?

This year should be a good indicator of that question. Looks like we're going to sign a lot of linemen this year, on both sides of the ball. As for last year, not very highly rated d-line signees, but they look promising. Tillman Johnson lived in the backfield and had 37 TFLs and TJ Tauaalo was honorable mention all-state at DT.

Fun fact: Offensive lineman Chris Miles had the most offers (listed) of all our 2014 signees.

Is Tauaalo an official signee?

Is Tauaalo an official signee?

Yes. He was listed as an officially signee of MGS and talked about during the signing day pressers.

Ok. I think I have him confused with the kid the was having qualifying problems.

[UNT90]

Yep, that's my confusion. Thanks 97 03

Wonder where Olie will end up.

Before it's all over, everyone in the state of Texas will be able to pronounce TJ's name. He can beat the double team.

I want to see Hafoka Olie and TJ Tauaalo leading the haka after every big North Texas win.
