I think it's a construction term. When pouring concrete to build curbs, one doesn't want have to wait on the concrete. thereby, being,"ahead of the curb." He probably "could care less." Because it's, "a doggy dog world."5 points

Peddling religion... your bias here is obviously against Mormonism and not the young man himself. Plus isn't riding a bike a sport? Those backpacks look heavy and Texas gets hot.4 points

Don’t get so up in arms, it’s a mild risk, if he doesn’t pan out, it’s no big deal, if he does, great. Mason will be fine when he gets here but we will have a RS Jr in Pearson, 2 RS sophomores in Martin and Bean, plus a RS Fr from the ‘19 class (Holgorsen?) and whoever else we might take at QB in the ‘20 class. This isn’t as bad a risk as you seem to think. This kid would have to be a phenomenal player to even see PT here.3 points

BYU and most of the Utah schools has worked out pretty well. He would of red shirt out of High school now he will red shirt 2 years later. This staff can evaluate talent! Congrats to all! GMG3 points

So does this mean we have our QB commits for 2018, 2019, and 2020 committed now?3 points

You can skew data easily in this kind of debate. No doubt La Tech and most peer schools have had more historical success than NT. NT also has a lot of advantages over La Tech: Denton vs Ruston, significantly larger athletic budget, much broader academic opportunities, and unless La Tech has greatly enhanced their facilities; NT has a big edge. Look at the CUSA Florida twins, both are recruiting at a very high level despite an horrible historical success rank. I believe that all that is secondary to the ability of a staff to sell program. Examples abound of coaches overcoming lackluster records; including the recent success of the Florida CUSA twins and UTSA that lack historical winning but are leading CUSA in recruiting.2 points

lol wut. Do you just get on GMG to complain about racism and politics? History is a thing. If they voted to tear it down I couldn't care less. If it really bothers you that much I hope you're beating down the doors of your local representative to destroy the racist shackles that bind our society from truly being happy and prosperous. Maybe one day we can all be as woke as yourself.2 points

Kudos to Coach Littrell for trying to steer the conversion more to NT. It was obvious that the hosts had rather discuss almost anything else.1 point

It won’t be a scholarship until 2020 and that is if he doesn’t give up football. Also, we’d be getting a juco-aged player ias a true freshman.1 point

You know, there is always the option of starting up an external 501(c) entity whose sole purpose is to donate its revenue to specific, restricted gifts to UNT. Screw scholarships, let's start a gold plated toilets in Apogee fund. Even better, let's start a legal defense fund to make sure that student votes go our (the alumni's) way and that student fees get maxed out with 50% increases every year. Maybe a buy out the coaching staff every time our defense gives up a third down conversion fund. The possibilities are limitless! We could (and I believe would be required to) have officers of the fund and could have secret meetings and handshakes and everything. Maybe even lapel pins and tiny flags to fly from our cars.1 point

Perhaps student support, or lack there of, is a reflection of an athletic program that ranks at the bottom on CUSA in alumni giving and football season ticket sales. Putting us in the same boat with Texas State and UTSA is appropriate as I believe we lag behind both of them in these two areas.1 point

I wonder if his impending Mission scared some other schools from pulling the trigger on offering. He didn’t have very many offers, but a ton of interest.1 point

Bean, Martin and Fennegan is quite a haul for one class, even if Fennegan is delaying his enrollment for two years. Welcome to the Mean Green family, Cade.1 point

The latest CBS Sports mock draft has two Conference USA players in the first round. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2018-nfl-mock-draft-cardinals-trade-up-to-take-fourth-quarterback-in-top-10/ 20. Detroit Lions - Marcus Davenport, DE, UTSA. 24. Carolina Panthers - Will Hernandez, G, UTEP. Yeah I know it's a mock draft but still nice to see the conference getting some respect from a talent standpoint.1 point

I don't think it's CANNOT. I really hope it's WILL NOT. Just because those two doofus schools charge students out the rear doesn't mean we should too.1 point

I think this election will tell us a lot about the value of athletics to the UNT student body. Frankly, I will be shocked if this passes...I'll still never understand how UTSA and Texas State can charge the most allowed under state law for athletics and we cannot unless the student body votes for it. It makes zero sense to me--unless its because the leadership of theses schools is making the calls on how the fee gets implemented. If its this, everyone on this site ought to question the true direction of what they are supporting.1 point

Basically to me this is like stating a player is more likely to sign with a school that offers him a scholarship than others. Player X goes on an official visit to University Z. You then examine his social media and compare his interest in University Z versus other schools that he has offers from. The school with the highest social media attention than is the predicted winner. Can't argue with that logic, but not sure there anything useful there. Distance is obviously a factor in recruiting but I really don't see it application with the other two factors. If a player has enough interest in a school to take an official visit and follows that school more intensely than any others, I doubt distance is going to be a determining factor. These predictors also leave out the biggest indicator of what drives a recruit's choice. That is the conference affiliation and prestige of that university in that sport. Assuming player X from Dallas and has been intently following SMU via social media for years and gets offers from SMU and Alabama, what are SMU's odds of landing that player?1 point

I hope I am wrong, but I don't like this hire at all. This staff needs someone with Texas ties and hired just the opposite. Not a lot of experience and is apparently going to start at zero to develop a Texas high school network. It looks like a continuation of the thinking that keeps NT far behind the conference leaders in recruiting. This looks like another wasted opportunity for NT to improve their relationship with Texas high school coaches.1 point

Wilson played with as much heart as any player in the history of North Texas. Season after season he sacrificed his body on the field, and he kept coming back even stronger. I'm so happy for him. It was a real pleasure having him as my adopted player for the past few seasons. Congratulations Jeffery. You deserve this.1 point
