Pretty ballsy move. Great if we win and have a good crowd. Not good if no one shows up and we lose. All your eggs in one basket and what not. Guess we’ll just have to win.

I have a feeling there will be more visits.  No need to worry about losing all of our recruits in one fell swoop.

Lets just hope that we have a solid performance on the field. If we can even do 75% of what we did vs Lamar to UAB it would help us alot in terms of how we are viewed and leaving a solid impression...

Really good to hear. One of the more unspoken bad recruiting tactics of the Mccarney era was that we very rarely had players on official visits for game days. Typically almost all of the OVs were in January, when there were no games

Agreed, bring them UOV during season then bring them in on an OV during January.  Wondering how many we can sign in December and convince to stay home early.

I disagree. There is no better way to get recruits to want to play for you than them meeting players committed to you that they really want to play with.

Any updates?

Yes the list is pretty much complete still waiting on a handful of response. I got confirmation of about 5 kids committed to other schools that I'm gonna leave off the list just to keep them from getting slack from committed school. And there will be several class of 19 and 20 there but I'm not putting any one UNT hasn't offered

Rucker/Dove coming?   Maybe bringing a certain teammate that touches the ball every time on offense?

Well played by the staff.

Kids visit during the attendance boost of family weekend and are seated together with fellow targets watching the 2013 squad get recognized for their contribution to the program.  I can easily picture them talking up the idea of joining together to get rings of their own while in Denton.

Ideally, some will also take in the HOF festivities and be motivated to work toward a HOF worthy career of there own for the Mean Green.

Yep, & if we have any LBs in the house, I hope they get to mingle with All-Pro LB Zach Orr as well!

Kids from The Colony HS starting with class of '20 

#88 Keith Miller WR, 6'4 about 200 pounds has some of the biggest hands I've ever seen and strong as can be (Hands).  His speed and route running need a lot of work but the frame is there. 

https://www.hudl.com/profile/7838859/keith-miller

#2 Myles Price RB/Corner/ATH  kid is the most electric guy I've been around and personally coached.  He's got IT. 

http://www.hudl.com/video/3/8316091/59c4043eb535b704e069e126

#11 Kenneth (Mikey) Harrington QB, Kid reminds me of Tune, but moves better in the pocket.  He is going to be Elite hopefully we jump in early.  He is 6'1 6'2 ( I don't care too much about height, but he weighs maybe 130) 

http://www.hudl.com/video/3/7650601/59c441e0f56a8a31dccce84c

Class of '19 

#1 Jadan Abdallah RB/OLB  IMO he is a D1 Defensive player, not on the offensive side of the ball.  He is working on getting adjusted to playing both ways, only played defense last year, is one of our two feature backs this year.  If you'd like to see what I am talking about scroll down and check out his Sophomore Highlights. 

http://www.hudl.com/video/3/5666091/59c3cd0b90f0350e346e6f6a

#23 Cameron (Cam) Pair FS stands at 5'9 if he was 5'11" he would already have 10 offers.  Kid got us lined up and himself as a Sophomore, plays run and pass as our FS.  He is a football player. 

http://www.hudl.com/video/3/5576143/59c512e7bd759217f0e4fc2e

Class of '18 

#4 Jaxon Gibbs WR/Safety/PR/KR (He's committed) He is still learning our offense expect his offensive highlights to pick up in the coming weeks.  He is starting to grasp our concepts and schemes. 

http://www.hudl.com/video/3/5329782/59c4107390f0352e18b747a8

#25 Jay Hurd WR/Corner 6'2 probably 190 Great athlete, Dad played at Baylor and was a stud.  Kid is coming into his own if he keeps producing he's got a shot to be special.

A bit disorganized at the end of the game, no one to grab all recruits and say ok we're going into the LR for post game speech.  Kind of left to our own to figure out where to go. Also once we were dropped off in stands by the girls helping out that was the last of anyone we saw.  Wish we had some type of halftime deal where kids and family went back inside saw a different presentation maybe highlights, or have Former players come in and talk about their time at the university.  There is much less "hype" in our recruiting process than the other schools I've been to, and kids relate to that.  Energy was a bit flat throughout the evening.  When I attended an SMU (gross) game with one of my kids the energy level was off the charts and it resonated with the kids.  Just my observations and what I heard from the kids. 

The football staff needs to know this kind of feedback and fix this problem.

thanks for the first hand information.
