Just an update on where our 2015 recruiting efforts stand at this moment, for those who care.

We currently have 4 spots available in this class, with G TJ Taylor, G/F Jordan Williams, F Armani Flannigan, and F Colin Voss. However, under Benford we've ended up signing much more players than initial spots we've had available. For example, going into 2012-2013, we had 5 seniors and Tony Mitchell (6 spots), but we ended up signing 10 guys. Going into this past season we had 3 seniors and 1 open spot, but we ended up signing 7 guys.

Anyways, here are our targets (we've offered all)

Guards:

- JUCO PG Mike Rodriguez

http://www.verbalcommits.com/players/mike-rodriguez

- PG Daron Curry

- SG Michael Kolawale (committed to Fresno State)

- SG Gage Ellis (has eliminated us)

- SG Kerwin Roach

- SG/SF Jalon Anderson

http://www.verbalcommits.com/players/jalon-anderson

Forwards:

- F Emmanuel Nzekwesi

http://www.verbalcommits.com/players/emmanuel-nzekwesi

- PF Mustapha Traore (has eliminated us)

- F Hassan Thomas

http://www.verbalcommits.com/players/hassan-thomas

- F Mason Riggins

http://www.verbalcommits.com/players/mason-riggins

- PF Elijah Thomas (has eliminated us)

Not going great as of now. Of the 11, 4 have eliminated us or committed elsewhere, and 2 others (Kerwin Roach and Daron Curry) are longshots at best because of their offer lists. I linked the verbalcommits profiles of the other 5 who we may have a shot at.

I honestly do not care who we bring in. I just want them to win. We see what happens when we bring in top 100 players in the nation. So,wit es it's better if the team has chemistry and everyone is in the same page. Anything can happen when players work as one.

The only players who have averaged double digits points per game under Benford have been top 100 players in the nation, except for Alzee Williams, a JJ recruit. Roger Franklin, Jordan Williams, and Tony Mitchell are the other guys.

It was meant to be just a bit of a jab since the times we had top recruited we could not make it to the big dance.

      Breaking: North Texas set to Hire SHSU DC Skyler Cassity

      I would take 30-60 as a success overall but what I really don't want is a defense that gets absolutely steamrolled in any one game. Show me you can adjust during games to counter opponent's adjustments. I do put some of Caponi's failure on Eric Morris with his poor game management so I guess we'll see if he can do some soul searching this offseason.

      Breaking: North Texas set to Hire SHSU DC Skyler Cassity

      I'm sure there are some more experienced guys that have legitimate claim to serious looks. I just never got the vibe that there was one or two home-run hires available to us.

      Breaking: North Texas set to Hire SHSU DC Skyler Cassity

      One stop. 51st and 117th at ACU is not success. Stop lying to yourself. I'm bitching because this is an atrocious hire. Allowed 39 to Texas State and 45 to a bad UCF team which included being ran over for almost 400 yards and 6 TDs. I would have wanted one of the Co-DCs (or both) from Northern Illinois, Bowling Green, or Miami (OH). We could money whip any and all of their DCs. You want to see success that doesn't involve getting steamrolled for 40 like Cassity's defense, look at those teams. NIU: 7th in total defense, highest G5 ranking. Held now #5 Notre Dame to 14 and NC State to 24. Most points allowed was 25 to Ball State. They have co-DCs we could have doubled in pay for less than Caponi. Bowling Green (I brought them up in a thread a couple days ago, sorry you don't read other posts): 29th in total defense, have co-DCs one of which spent almost a decade as DC in DFW high schools (including Haltom City when Lance Dunbar was there). Held Texas A&M to 26 and now #3 Penn State to 34, both on the road. Miami (OH): 14th in total defense. Held Northwestern to 13, Cincinnati to 27, and Notre Dame to 28. Most don't have Texas ties. I don't think that matters as much in today's day. I'd like to know when's the last time Texas ties helped us in football anyways. It certainly doesn't stop the bigger Texas programs. What all those schools do have is low ressources and yet a demonstrated ability to hold their P4 opponents to respectable scoring outputs. Regarding Cassity, I put zero stock in his top 20 defense. That is 100% a reflection of the CUSA competition. Allowing 39 to Texas State and 45 to a 4-8 UCF team is unacceptable and shows what he's actually capable of. I was ridiculed for calling out our game management and highly inconsistent offense early this year only to be proven right. I'll take the hit here again but I don't want to read BS about what went wrong if and when he fails.
