New friend helps draw lineman to UNT

[Harry]

One of the ideas behind North Texas’ efforts to bring its top recruiting targets to Denton in June for a series of events was so that they could become familiar with the school, its coaches and current players long before national signing day.

The side benefit was that some of those high school seniors got to know each other as well. The payoff came late Monday when Marshall offensive lineman Chett Munden committed to play for the Mean Green.

Munden struck up a friendship with Converse Judson guard Abdul Beecham during his first visit to UNT and decided that playing next to him in college would be a perfect scenario.

That is the kind of stuff we like to hear on the football team. It is more then just a job as a player, but a pact to look out for one another out on the field or elsewhere.

Great story about Beecham and Munden! There are several North Texas players that speak to other friends/players

about coming to North Texas! Freinds are the greatest recruiting service available!

I am still wondering about the odd, on again/off again, recruitment of Dustin McWhorter, the DE from Graham TX HS, who committed

to the Mean Green, then was told to "hold off" with his commitment, due to McWhorter's HS transcripts not being in the coaches office.

Does anyone know what is going on with McWhorter's commitment to North Texas?

I seem to recall this happening with one Brelan Chancellor and one Brandin Byrd.
