  1. Once you enter the portal the coach has no obligation to offer you your scholarship back.
  2. So one of the last two spots is for a wing, what do you think we are looking for in the other? We already pulled a lot of guards.
  3. I would say Benford had a greater affect on attendance than style of play. Second to benford, things are just different post covid and i think the AD is still figuring that out.
  4. Wren Baker said on his post NIT interview on the Green Room that as many offers as Mac had turned down, Hodge had turned down plenty of jobs at p5 schools for double the money.
  5. I will say, i have heard privately from a players parent that there are payments going out of the fund to some players. So something is going on, i'm just not certain why we wouldn't be more active about promoting it and the good it's doing.
  6. Does anyone have a single update from the Light the Tower NIL collective since the meeting ? Seems like we are being left in the dust. Losing guys like Gumms to the portal is where other schools are finding ways to step up with NIL. Tylor Perry would be a great NIL investment trying to keep him for next season. My last post about the collective asking about its social media presence and volunteering to help was deleted and I wasn’t given a reason why, so hopefully that doesn’t happen again. Have we given out deals? Have they taken in money? Are they actually operating?
  7. Yeah but Jordan Williams had to be dragged down by benford's abysmal coaching and rotations. So he gets extra bonus points.
  8. outside of Houston the AAC was about as good as CUSA maybe worse... Memphis lost to FAU so they would definitely been in the top 4 but...
  9. Absolutely recruit him. May be the best center we would have under the mccasland era IMO.
  10. I enjoy a good debate, so here's my counter. I'm basing my recruiting on the overall metrics and rankings on popular sites like 247, ON3, Rivals, etc. I never said Litrell got every drop out of what he has to offer. But you can't argue that he didn't compete and beat most of his competition in the realm of of recruiting. Not on field performance, in-game decisions, staffing choices, etc. I'm isolating my argument to recruiting. Which, by G5 standards was above average and by conference standards he was in the upper echelon. North Texas was behind UTSA in 2022 but... the three years prior UNT's class was all ranked ahead. This is the exact revisionist mindset i'm talking about. They might not have maximized that potential, but by all exterior metrics the class was considered better year over year at UNT. Hell last season we had 5 All-CUSA first teamers Horton, Gummes, Mose, KD, Texada. We have an elite receiving core still in the building and had one of the better o-lines in the country. Running back room has been more than full the entire time he was here. Litrell didn't lose his seasons in the offseason recruiting periods it was in player development, and in some of his coordinator hires.
  11. This is still a revisionist lens. He and the staff averaged a top three class in CUSA even walked away with a #1. Whether the staff developed or held onto that talent is a separate debate. But we have 2 NFL receivers and a slew of all-conference guys. Improvements to O-line. I'm excited about the future here, but come on just because it didn't pan out with Litrell doesn't mean him and the staff didn't have their merit. When it comes to Morris, like in the case of say... Darden, some of these offers have dried up UTSA has an almost full class, most of their recruiting was done before the ESP. We will get a gauge of the reality of where we stand next cycle. Some of these recruits would have been picked apart by the same for only having one other off or only the service academies, etc. It's an exciting time but the results are far from in, and it's just a bias against Litrell and what he accomplished. Even Morris stated this isn't an empty cupboard and spent a lot of time recruiting the guys he had already on campus. That's not necessary if Litrell was as bad at recruiting as you all seem to think he was. Let the roster walk and bring in your own guys then. Both things can't be true.
  12. On paper, doesn't it look like that these are scholarships offered under the presumption we aren't getting the SOC guys? They are positionally the same for the most part. Maybe i'm reading into it too much.
  13. Well gosh dern it. If he's good enough for uncle sam he should be good enough for the rest of us!
  14. I think this is a pretty accurate line of thinking. We have limited ships and RB isn' a place of need right now. I feel bad put the kid in a tough position, hope he finds a good home.
  15. Being that the coaches who offered him aren't hear I'm assuming his PWO was not longer standing
  16. We're you asked by some of your contacts to pull it down ?
  17. Didn't see any other offers. He didn't use his social media much. I imagine he had a few being he started 9 games the last two years at a P5.
  18. He is a @BillySee58 B grade. Offers from Coastal Carolina and ODU at the FBS level. Also offers from UIW, Houston Christian, Lamar, Southern and Missouri State. Harder to gage all offers from transfers unless they post them.
  19. Based on @BillySee58own beloved offer based method... Mr. Roger's is an A recruit. He held transfer offers from Cal, Indiana, Georgia State, Liberty, Arkansas State, Sam Houston, Texas State and Jacksonville State.
