Here is your answer. Just look at this Map, and how close all this talent is to UNT, and not a 1 on this list is even considering us. http://res.dallasnews.com/interactives/sportsday-top-recruits/ 

http://www.dallasnews.com/sports/high-schools/headlines/20151031-week-10-top-performers-cedar-hill-jr.-leads-passers-celina-qb-scores-7-times-sachse-sr.-provides-dual-threat.ece

 

Just peruse these lists and look at how many we have offered or would have offered if you want to use the Mac is gone ploy.  I coach in The Colony, see the talent that the Frisco, TC, and LE schools have and put out each year for the past three years.  Want to know how many of those kids UNT even offered let alone put the pressure on as far as recruiting?  In TC it was 0, sent 3 kids to the Navy, 1 to Iowa.  UNT didnt even sniff.  We have a RB this year who has 5 offers right now and UNT hasnt even offered.  He was invited to camp, brought several other kids with him.  It is absolutely mind blowing that you wouldn't try to get at least 4-5 kids from this district every year.  

I hope to God, the new coach isnt a total idiot when it comes to local recruiting.

Lol, y'all talkin bout QB offers...hahaha. I mean....would it really matter if we had 1-2-3 QB's currently committed. What are the odds of any one of them panning out with this staff recruiting them.

I'm glad Dodge still likes us enough to not steer his players away from us. I was worried there were hard feelings. Say what you want about his record here, guy was always a class act.

The High School playoffs have once again proven that Denton County is one of the deepest talent pools in the state. This needs to be a point of emphasis with the new staff and the focus of recruiting.

so you are saying we are not out of scholarships?  

A rough figure is mid twenties total, but I'm no expert. At this point in the recruiting cycle, we should only have had a handful left to offer. Most recruiting occurs over the summer.

They've got to fill a whole class between December and January, and this was an issue before the mid-season fire.

I'm no recruiting guru, but we can only sign 25 per class.   That counts grayshirts from last year's class (which I don't think we have any?) and mid-term JUCOs, which we don't have any yet, and High School graduates (which the only guy I can recall is Hair'Griffin).  So our recruiting is pretty dismal right now, but that's nice for the next coach if he gets here quick enough... he can get his own class together.

I thought we also had a RB from San Antonio and an Austin Westlake WR committed.  Either way, recruiting has been terrible this year.

Yeah, Tyrone Middleton and Chase Cokley. Vito never followed up with Cokley. Maybe because of his past with Cokley's coach (Dodge).

247 also lists Curtis Hollis as a football commit, but he's actually a basketball commit who is playing his first year of HS football. Hollis turned some heads this summer, but he hasn't produced much (understandably so). If he were to try and play both sports, his scholarship would have to count towards football (by NCAA rule), so the new coach would have to be really on-board with Hollis to agree to that.

I expect the new coach to sign a full 25. We signed 25 last year, so we can't backcourt any early enrollees, but between the current group of about 15 scholarship seniors, about 5 open spots (about 80 scholarship players on team out of a possible 85), and players who will quit and transfer between now and when the freshmen arrive, there is no reason to not sign a full 25.

Forgot about Cokley.   I'd not heard of Middleton... or if I had, I completely forgot.

We certainly are in need of QB. Absolutely desperate. 

Welcome!

See a little Paxton Lynch in him.

If we get an HC who runs an Air Raid offense, I would offer him.

Though I wouldn't mind him developing and getting stronger

      A-Scott Projected to OU

      Yes, I am aware of all that, and remember when they were very good back in the 80's or so. But, as you said, they haven't been very great lately, and had pretty much fallen off the radar until a long-past-his-prime Pitino went there.

      G5s Finally Getting Together......Talking About Their Future

      The Boston College/SMU's of the world will still be in the mix through access to the playoff. Obviously, there is going to be a Power 2 but what's going to eventually happen is the Big 10 and SEC will shuffle off some of their lesser performing "assets" down to the ACC and Big 12 while FSU, Clemson, Kansas, and potentially UNC move up. Rutgers, Vandy, NW, and a few others will head down. The G5 will have their own division and won't be given access to the playoff, therefore necessitating they create their own.

      G5s Finally Getting Together......Talking About Their Future

      But I don't see this a move down....more of a "not moving up" For this to take shape, you have to assume that the "highest official classification" is going to change. It's gonna be 30-40 teams. This isn't like going FCS in the '80s. It's not even close....the entire landscape has changed. NIL, transfer portal, ESPN, media.....nothing today resembles 1988. The "highest official classification" is just a label. It's unofficially the SEC/Big 10 now...even the Big 12 is not stable...P5 is going to P2. We have to stop thinking that because an Oregon State has "always been a Power conference school" that they will continue to be one. Boston College? SMU? LOL. The math has changed. Alabama, Ohio State and Texas are so far removed from the lower P5s and G5s that snow ball is moving at warp speed down the mountain. Them along with ESPN run college football now and what they want, they will get. I don't think Ohio State really cares about Washington St.... We (current G5 plus the P5 "hanger ons") aren't going to be able to keep up with this new world... I think this proposal is a new classification...not moving down to an existing one. Just my humble opinion....

      Judge orders Florida State, ACC to mediation to settle suit

      Sigh. I don't want you to take this the wrong way but this might be most ill-informed and ignorant take on the current ACC situation I've seen yet. And that's saying something. FACTS: You need a majority of schools to vote to dissolve the conference. Well, you just added three sure-fire "NO" votes in CAL, SMU, and Stanford. Now tell me. Where are you going to find the other votes needed to dissolve the conference? Duke? Nope. WF? Nope. Miami? Nope. PITT? Nope. Louisville? Nope. Georgia Tech? Nope. Syracuse? Nope. Boston College? Nope. Notre Dame? Nope. Virginia Tech? Nope. I realize you hate SMU and that the G5 split that's coming sucks but c'mon man.
