Only other offer was McNeese St. Lets hope we know something no one else does.

You know that SMU has supposedly been beating our ass on recruits for the last decade right?? But yet I looked at the two teams yesterday and ours looked faster, more physical more talented across the board. Vito said this guy was getting a lot of interest from Baylor, Houston and some other bigger schools so we need to hold on. I will take the evaluation of this staff. They seem to know a bit about this.

He may be used as a slot/return guy here. He has confirmed 4.4 speed and I don't think we'll be inclined to consistently throw 5'8" on an island by himself at corner. Speed kills, so I'm happy about this pickup.

Not disagreeing with you, and if the staff doesn't know more about recruiting than I, UNT is in BIG trouble.

It's just nice to beat out FBS schools for recruits.

And to add to that. The QB for Desoto, Desmond White, that was a commit to us last year as his only FBS offer, and then flipped when TCU came in with his 2nd offer, played as a true freshman in TCU's opener at slot receiver.

Recruit's raw talent is one thing, but player development and coaching is something else entirely. We can look anywhere in football for that, but the best place to look is at NFL quarterbacks. Just because a guy has incredible talent coming into a given league doesn't mean he'll succeed.

Where else would you watch the game? I, for one, refused to stand in the lines bc I was going to miss some of the beating that was taking place. I felt like crap after the game, hoarse, and my face and neck burnt to shit. But I stood at my seat until the final BS Hail Mary td. As everyone should have, unless elderly. GMG

Look at the bright side, everyone got a big dose of vitamin D with the sunburn. On both sides of the stadium.

I'm 34 and found out available month ago I'm deficient in Vita-D. I was amazed but then again during the Texas summer...One can see how that can occur

I was going to mention this too. I think you could probably say we were beat for recruits, but what did they do after they turned 18? Clearly SMU can get some but then expects them to save the team without any strength, conditioning, or added skill sets.

Copied and Pasted.

Zach Whitfield has been a pretty productive corner for us at that size and Whitfield is not even that fast.

      I believe we have had more games without classes in session. If someone has the academic calendar handy for this year and last, I can work up the exact numbers. Knowing we would have more games played during the academic break (and the horrible slate of games the AD put together) is exactly why it was critical for the AD to work extra hard getting the surrounding community to the games. I live too far away to know if they've done anything, but based on the results, I don't know if they have...certainly nothing that's moved the needle. It's like they just take time off when students aren't around. We need the so-called t-shirt fans from in and around Denton. What has the AD done to generate excitement and stimulate demand for the program? Whatever it is, it's been a complete failure IMHO. We have a team and program on the rise. It's WINNING games on a regular basis. Based on the last few years, we had a lot of momentum going into this season and it's been squandered in epic fashion. I doubt they are doing anything and just running out the clock waiting for the students to return so they can continue to do nothing. Here's an idea...It seems Jared enjoys his court-side seat. How about running a "switch seats with the AD" promotion? Each half one lucky attendee is drawn and gets to sit court-side and Jared moves to the cheap seats. Who knows, maybe you only get a handful of extra tickets out of it, but we're moving in the wrong direction.

      We have the volume, just nobody cultivating those relationships. Seems Denton proper feels little to no ownership in the university even though it's a large driver of the local economy. As @UNTLiferccommented, things like the homecoming parade have disappeared. They've made every move necessary to make the school and the city separate entities.

      I'm not pissing on anyone, but maybe Nelson, who was a 5 star coming out of high school, was overrated. He's just looking for playing time, which I can certainly appreciate, but UTEP is heralding his signing as being the best in their history. I'm saying is there is a reason he didn't stick at previous places and was probably doesn't have that high of a rating now.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      Those qualities may be fine for us, but nor for ECU or Charlotte or USF, etc. There is no way they want another Texas school in the AAC. They would rather have Ga State, or Jax St., or James Madison, or App St, or WKU. Also, a 16-18 team conference gets too big. It needs to stay 12-14 football/basketball members at most.
