To play off #NewDenton we can now have #Murphy'sNewLaw. #You-Go-Against-Us-Things-Will-Go Wrong-For-You

DRC: What happened this week, where the Mean Green stand https://www.dentonrc.com/sports/friday-unt-football-recruiting-reset/article_3a285662-83e2-550e-af53-405e3fe246ea.html

While what you are saying is completely true, we still have the 2nd highest average composite which is the trajectory we want to be on. Also, a little side note, we played the 2017 season with 14 three stars on the entire roster. Without the incoming class and the current class (2019), we are down to 8 three stars on the roster as it sits. This recruiting class, per ratings, has more talent in it as it currently stands than the entire UNT roster combined as it currently stands. That is staggering in both directions...How poorly Dan McCarney left the roster and how great this 2019 is shaping up to be.

Walk-on? If McCasland can convince a JUCO All-American to walk-on, we’re doing very good!

Very nice! Our guard-depth has to be one of, if not the best in the conference.

Juco All American and Academic All American

I'll give you guys a little hint, when all those big schools offer and a kid ends up at a LALA type schools, grades/test scores typically are the issue.

I like the fact that our targets are all three stars or higher with the exception of two NR and one 2 star.

My wife and I became season ticket holders for the first time last week. I graduated in 2010 and honestly had not been to many games until last year where we made it to half of the football games (and my wife’s first time ever to a college game) but decided to go all in and show our support! Love what is going on with not only athletics but the school as well!

I'm thinking about moving the Collin County UNT Football Watching Parties to Killarney's Live - Irish Pub instead of continuing at Fuzzy's Tacos in Allen. Killarney's is located in Fairview Town Center. This is the former location of Fairview Down Under, where we used to host watching parties several years back. I'd like to get your thoughts on this location change. I spoke with the owner of Kilalrney's and he was very open to the idea. He said when he took over the location, he remembered the North Texas signage (put up by the beer vendors) that had been taken down. One down side is that they currently no longer have a projector, but would still put the game on the large TVs around the bar/restaurant and run the audio throughout. This place is known for its live music, but they said they'd tell the bands that they'd have to wait to start until after the games end. They also said if we had a late bowl game (i.e. 7pm or later), they'd be willing to not have a band play that night. Anyway, let me know your thoughts. https://www.facebook.com/KillarneysLive/

I decided to make a thread of all of the remaining players we have offered that aren't already committed to us or somewhere else. As these recruits commit somewhere I will update their information. If you know of a person we have offered (via twitter or elsewhere) that is missing from the list, feel free to tell me and I will update it. This data is from 247, so if something is missing or incorrect, again feel free to tell me. RBs: Deion Hankins 3* (.8628).

Eastfield is a DIII jc that doesn't offer scholarships, so he could very well be a walk-on.

Dajon never played at A&M-Commerce.

Walk on?

Is this some of more of that XFL nonsense?

Asked coach DL if he was dead set on the flat bill. He said "it's something I have done since (and he gave a year that seemed like a long time ago...2006?)." I said, "Ok, if you started the trend, I can't complain about it." I thought it was a Rickie Fowler thing. We got the guy that started the flat bill. Things are looking up. GMG

http://www.njcaa.org/sports/mbkb/2017-18/div3/players/jjmurray5eds Nice stats.... If that is true...it's amazing that he played 32 games and didn't commit a single foul. Think that could possibly be right??? Edit: Coach Fletcher answered a question on Twitter...JJ did commit some fouls this season. They just were never entered into the Juco stats. He told me that JJ is an awesome young man....both on and off the court.

I am sure these guys are salt of the earth and always a joy to hang with. With that said. I can't say exactly why, but I find them annoying as hell. Each time they celebrate something that took them 100 takes to accomplish I want to punch them in the face. Granted they just have very punch-able looking faces. Then that damn xfinity commercial comes on the TV with their smug looking faces doing crap that is not remotely hard. Does that make me a bad guy? Psycho? Probably so but I did donate to the Mean Green Club today.

On my way to donate:

I know a lot of folks that have been excited about the Littrell era from Day 1. Others have had a wait and see approach before contributing their hard-earned money. (Division winner, CUSA championship appearance, 2 for 2 bowl appearances, recruiting momentum) Other folks were excited about the Baker era. Others had a wait and see approach before contributing their hard-earned money. (motherlovin CBI winners, successes through olympic sports, indoor facility, etc) Have you waited and seent enough? Together we can whoop up. Let's do this thang so we can stop being one of the crappiest in terms of season tix and middling contributions. Culture change starts with us.

I’ve heard the same thing. Has the contract been approved by BOR?

I hope he is a walk on. I'm not seeing the athleticism needed to compete at our level... and his shooting percentages don't make up for that like Draper. We really need another flex big like Simmons who can hold down the fort with 4 guards around him and still contribute offensively.

Wasn’t it Greer that took a knee on a play in Austin when one of the UT defense was coming at him? No attempt to allude him. It was embarrassing. Reminded me of the “Blow the whistle!” scene in Necessary Roughness.

RB: Hankins or Addaway WR: Lyles or Lampkin TE: Alberding OL: Bruner & Stromberg DL: Richardson, Mashburn, Irons, Merritt CB: Gaddie and Crossley S: White and Taylor ATH: Foreman

By the way, @TheReal_jayD can confirm, we've offered a hair over 100 kids so far, most schools have double that in offers out for 2019 class. I've paired it down some am I close ish ?

5' 10". 170 lbs. Also holds offers from Indiana, Illinois, La-La, Michigan State, New Mexico, MMSU, Utah State, Purdue and WKU. https://247sports.com/Player/Bobby-Holmes-46048655

ready for the vito to get a new photo of the 50 yd line eagle

good get for them. mich st offer left on the table

Commits to Louisiana.

Commits to Baylor

Yep. UT bought out Herman's $2.5M. Nebraska bought out Frost's $3M. Florida bought out CSU's $5-7M

Momentum is building.

SONOFA I missed an opportunity dagnabbit

Oh?

Breaking my own GIF request that we should Littrell-y buy in to this new athletic culture. Also, for the first time, my spouse and I are actively discussing HUB Club seats.... The real daunting part being the Stadium Fund donation.

$2,500,000 = about one-fourth of our alumni donating $25.00 a year (50 cents a week).

Has added offers from UAPD and Colorado State. 247's crystal ball has a 100% prediction of him coming to Denton.

These new defensive recruits will create a no fly zone

Also very true. These are 2 legit ball players. If a team has the need for two and they arent filled by the time the first signing period comes around, you'll see some p5s offer both. It's up to UNT to keep dating them throughout what needs to be a strong season.

Good point. As we get closer to signing periods, schools get more desperate and there might be one or two out there to offer both. Question is will they be big enough to sway two players. Nothing kept Ed Oliver, a 5 star DT, from playing with his brother at UH. Hopefully the same happens with these guys.

No. SL is about $500k more than LK this year, increasing that difference annually.

As a reminder, here is the stat line for Greer and McNulty combined for that first game in 2014 when we were coming off a bowl championship season with Thompson. 3 of 17 for 15 yards and 4 interceptions. One interception was a 28 yard pick 6. There was also a fumble lost by one of them. Greer’s QBR was -11.1 while McNulty’s was -40.2. Worst quarterbacking performance I’ve seen at any level. Just to recap, we completed more passes for more yards and more points to the opponent than we did to our own team. Almost impossibly bad but we found a way to do it coming off a 9 win season.

Most likely the highest rated lineman to ever commit to North Texas.

247 currently has him 100% projected to Indiana.
