So far we've extended very fews offers in July. The evaluating period isn't over (Tee Goree and O'Keeron Rutherford were among a few of our signees who were not offered yet at this point last year), but the coaches have identified their targets and likely are zoning in on a select number of guys.

Wanted to start a thread on the Friday night lights camp (and any other camps that week of Friday July 25th) in order to see who is going to be there.

That time last year we saw Fonzale Davis and Connor Means commit during the camp and Brandon Garner, Jalen Montgomery, Kishawn McClain, and Chris Miles commit shortly after in the next week or two. Hopefully we see the camp give our class a big boost like last year.

Friday Night Light expected attendees:

- WR D'erren Wilson

- DE/DT Dustin Mcwhorter

- OL Joseph Gonzales

- ATH Davion Freeman

- OL Abdul Beecham (committed 7/25/14)

- JUCO WR Jarvis Baxter

- LB Anthony Hines (2017)

- OL Creighton Barr

- OL Evan Curl

- WR Jerminic Smith

- DB Ashton Preston (commit)

- DE Myles Cheatum

Billy, is this an open to public type camp?

The Friday Night Lights Camp on that Friday is open and it was a $40 registration fee for players last year. I'm fairly certain that there was another camp date, either the Thursday (day before) or Saturday (day after) which was private and invite only. Imagine we'll see something similar this year.

Meant for some bum like me to go watch. Lol

Yeah, sorry I wasn't very clear. The camps that are open to any high school athlete are also open to the public, I believe. The invite-only camps are, I believe, closed to the public. Harry was at last year's Friday Night Lights camp.

I like that North Texas is not having this July 18, when schools such as Texas, Baylor, and LSU are also having events.

Not because North Texas is gonna get the elite guys who will be at those schools; because there are solid FBS-caliber players who aren't gonna get offers from the high-major schools who don't understand that and will be at those camps, anyway.

Sorry, I'm still not being very clear. I meant it as "Harry was there last year, so he'd be a good guy to talk to and ask about it." As far as attending. Edited by BillySee58

Billy is right, the day of the event last year was pretty wide open and so if you have a kid playing high school ball you can probably get them in if you reach out to UNT and register. My understanding is they had sort of a VIP event the night before where some of the elite prospects were participating. The event last year broke all sorts of attendance records and they usually have a special guest speaker - ie Drew Pearson of the Dallas Cowboys who gives a motivational speech prior to the start.

If you know who the guest speaker is, let me know please (even if by PM or text). Trying to get a kid to go to this.

JUCO WR Jarvis Baxter. May not be here for the camp (high school players only I believe). But will be here for a visit and I'd imagine he's on commit watch, as well as most guys coming this weekend.

Roman Jr is said to have a UNT offer

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      Some of you think these professional athletes have to go to classes?

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?
