Went on a California recruiting road trip. Visited San Diego State (who offered) and Fresno State (who had already offered prior. Seems like his parents had him hold off on his commitment so he could weigh all his options. Hopefully we're still on top.

8. Myles Cheatum and Jake Barber, Cedar Park, DE – While Cheatum has more collegiate offers (from North Texas and Louisiana Tech) than Barber, both players are the anchors of Williamson County’s most dominant defensive line. Both earned all-district accolades in 2013 and create matchup problems on the edge.

Visited this weekend. Pulling this guy would really be a good one. Add Cheatum, Sam Miller, Wegmann, maybe a true nose (like Saluone out of Utah?), and the grayshirts Shaq Jackson and Jon Graham and we have a really nice haul of guys to develop behind a solid, young d-line.

Pretty cool article on Cheatum. Very well spoken and sharp kid. Interesting to note that he said he was 263 lbs and cut down to 250. He's huge, and he's also pretty athletic, not to mention I think his strength is his power in his upper body. Really hoping we can get him, and good to hear we're in his top 3.

This one really does hurt. A legitimate head-to-head victory for TSU over us. Not just a guy we offered at one point. Holding out a little hope we can flip him, since we flipped Tillman Johnson from them last year and Wylie Reinhardt from them the year before.

Kind of weird that he didn't say he was close to making a decision in his article with the statesman, and there is absolutely nothing about it on his twitter. In fact, he even said he wasn't done taking visits in that article. But if this sticks, that's a tough loss.

Kind of weird

I mean, who wouldn't want to play on a middling team in the Sunbelt...

I wonder if chance for early playing time had anything to do with it?

I though about Dustin McWhorter too. Dustin committed to the Mean Green at the Friday Night Lights event.

Dustin has been committed to North Texas long before the FNL event.

Dustin told the staff he would play DT too.

To me, McWhorter was the type of player NT was looking for! I was hoping NT would gain commitments from

both players!

Now, Texas State has both McWhorter and Cheathum on their side!

I have some friends in Graham TX. The entire town supports their football program. I have heard several comments for my friends.

I do not think NT will be able to recruit Graham any time soon. North Texas is not popular in Graham TX right now.

This is great. Joy to the blessed World. How does this happen?!?!? Really, how? I can't seem to create a good explanation in my head as to how this is happening? If we can't out recruit these type of schools for these kind of players we will not be successful. McWhorter and Cheathum were suppose to be our future saving grace on the DL. Pitiful.

Not freaking out by the way, but this is a hugggee concern during the McCarney era.

Yes, this one was a head to head victory by Texas State over us. Mcwhorter, on the other hand, they didn't outrecruit us there. He tried to commit to us and we said we didn't want and wouldn't take him. But Cheatum is a huge loss.

      First College Net Rankings released

      😂 I hate revisiting the records and specific games of that era cause it was all such a train wreck. Still should be discussed from time to time when some of our fanbase gets restless with wanting to take the next step as a program. Trying to cement ourselves as a perineal Top 50 program is tough but we’re on the right track. I remember years back @TheTastyGreek putting into perspective how tough achieving a Top 25 ranking in hoops was relative to FBS football back in the day. Too lazy to go dig that up but it really highlighted how difficult it is generally speaking and then layer in what you’re describing above - what UNT has had to overcome from a performance and program perception standpoint.

      Seth loses OU gig

      Oklahoma hired Washington State’s Ben Arbuckle — just 29 — to be its new offensive coordinator yesterday. He takes over for the fired Seth Littrell, whose offenses sputtered in the Sooners’ first SEC season. Meanwhile, Florida Atlantic picked Texas Tech offensive coordinator Zach Kittley, just 33, to replace Tom Herman as head coach. -The Athletic Plus

      If Eric Morris wins a bowl game, will you forgive his past sins?

      I’ll never understand the mental gymnastics some on here do to justify this underperformance? We fired Seth after a Conference USA title game appearance- justifiably - so we would get someone to take the NEXT step that was elusive for his regime. Now we’ve got people making excuses for wasting the first year of Morris’ tenure by mis-reading the personnel that he judged to be “AAC title contenders” and then flopping. Didn’t use the portal well enough to beef up glaring deficiencies. Then brings back the worst, yet somehow highest compensated G5 DC in America for year 2 which led to an inevitable firing that even the most casual of football fans could see coming from a mile away before the season even started. The 2nd year performance was predictable as well, but extra dissapointing given the soft schedule 5-1 start. To end up 6-6 is nearly unforgivable. We’d better win this upcoming Bowl game.

      like how we finished 8-22 in Benford's last season and had a final ranking of 299?? at the time we were a few spots below a couple hospital teams, Detroit Mercy & Sacred Heart. now we're three back of UT https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/seasons/men/2017-ratings.html

      Agreed. But we can all also agree that this is a great jumping off point for UNT in NET. A quality indicator of the program’s overall progress since Grant first arrived. We’ve come a LONG way from the Benford era.
