UNT Commit #8: LB Royce LeFrance, Helen Cox

And so it beings. I wonder how many recruits we will get out of last night.

Rivals profile lists a S. Miss offer, too.

That's how mean green recruiting go!

Great size and speed, if you believe Rivals.

And, so it begins...this is good news, indeed. UNT is beginning to see the advantages of the new stadium and the experienced coaching staff already. Great to get these commits and I am hoping that UNT holds all its commits and gets them to actually sign. I see signs that this will, indeed, be the case. We all know how these things go between the time a kid commits and the time to actually sign, but I'll put my money on UNT holding many more of these kids than they could have hoped to in the past few years. We will all see the pluses in this and it will definitely build. Kids see their friends being positive about UNT and they begin to see UNT in a newer and more positive light as well. Just great stuff going on these days for the Mean green.

GO MEAN GREEN!

Times are changing

He's from the same high school as Darius Carey.

Thank goodness, we got a recruit who actually had offers to other D1 schools! Haven't seen that much lately

This is a great get! Huge size and tons of ability!

I also wonder if we offered his teammate here (mind the name)

Ellis

I believe LeFrance was wearing red shorts with a black top last night and if that's indeed him, he was an absolute specimen. I was visiting with Coach Mac and pointed at that player, and Mac says "that's what they looked like in Gainesville."

Huge get, and I'd believe those Rivals measurements to be accurate

Welcome Ross.

St. Ignatius is and has been a powerhouse in Ohio for quite some time. Although I don't think NT has much pull in the snow belt

A pamphlet (at least) Might as well try the shotgun approach . . . right?

I think a lot of kids are looking to get away and so you never know. I also see Coach Mac as being respected in other regions which should help. If the kid can play we should give it a shot.

I agree with you Harry.

LeFrance looking around. We might lose him

Where did you hear that he was looking around?

Ok Royce. Here's the deal. If you come to UNT, we promise to be louder on defense so that you can get more sacks and tackles for loss and more pick 6's and your draft stock will rise... Cool?

Thanks, glad we had this talk.

BTW, did you notice we had a new stadium and a solid coaching staff?

Sincerely, Guy who wants you to keep your commitment to U of NT.

Now rated 3-stars by Rivals.

Seems committed to UNT, at least by what is on his Facebook.

New Highlight's from LaFrance's senior year

Royce LaFranceAll A's this quarter

Also from his FB - great to see.

Looks like a big, fast, hard hitting, 15-yard penalty, cheap shot SEC type of a guy. I guess we could use a few of those.
