Probably time for them to revisit this and possibly re-write the rules as needed.
JD's relationship with this website and gmg.com content is certainly at play here.I don’t really have any problem with him or anyone else offering paid NT content here. You are correct - the rules likely need a re-write to exclude journalistic content like this. As they stand, they are pretty clear that paid links and advertising your product are forbidden. Mods often point to to the rules when handing out discipline. But whatever. I only point it out to encourage consistency. 🤷🏻♂️Whateves.

wait JMU whined enouht to get a Bowl Bid even though in transition. NCAA goes ball less again
They were only eligible bc there were not enough bowl teams. Want to blame someone, blame the AAC for not filling all its now slots (including our failure to win six despite six easily winnable games). SBC has 12 teams in bowls, ffs.

Did he? That is $29,600 for the year. He caught 1 pass. How much did he potentially lose in future earnings by having a poor year?
Neither he or Nixon are NFL bound. They both cashed in on some pretty good seed money to start their professional lives. Easily a down payment on a house or better. Plus despite it not being a better school at all, Auburn still has better name recognition nationally (and especially in the South) than UNT - in addition to their alumni network helping you out. We have none of that. I hate it, but it is the gospel truth. We simply cannot offer that kind of money and we do not matter to most of the country.

And North Texas might be 13-0 vs Liberty schedule, maybe.
We lost to FIU, so no.

FSU should have been in.

Technically against forum rules to post links to articles that require a subscription to read. Just saying…
And against the rules to advertise for products and services. Says so three times in the rules.

This is fake news. We have all been assured that it takes two years to improve a defense (even when the evidence cited shows the exact opposite outcome).

“Frees up” another spot for a class that isn’t filled. Maybe they will offer another TE or WR!! At some point we should stop believe this spin about pulled offers and starters encouraged to look elsewhere. 🙄

The problem in general is involving a committee at all. It should be more like basketball where the committee isn't as involved nearly as much.

Top WR, two starting OL, starting RB, backup RB (maybe two?), starting Safety. These are concerning.

As of now we still have Adaway, Ragsdale, Johnson, Farrar, and the commits.
Addaway and Johnson both went through Senior Day and Ragsdale was injured so no idea on his status next year. It’s getting thin.

So started out at Washington, transferred to SdSt. He has Montana and TCU offers already.
Looking at his stats, not sure he has ever been a full-time starter. Would be the ideal size for a LB in this system as noted above but this guy seems to have a thing for the West Coast. Hopefully we reach out.

We have offered

He's listed now at 6'2" and 230 lbs. per the Butler C.C. roster. 247 rarely updates player measurables once they are entered in the system. He also led Butler in tackles.
That’s about the size for this system for an LB.

Jamori Maclin says hello along with Jacques Spradley-Demps. Spradley-Demps team was knocked out of the playoffs shortly after decommitting. Coincidence? I think not.
Spradley was who I was overlooking.

So should we assume that we have lost a WR somewhere along the way? WR was definitely not a priority position to fill out this class unless we lost one. Did I miss a decommit?

So we are still recruiting 200 lb linebackers or maybe this ends up as a hybrid safety? If an LB, then Craponi isn’t improving the position.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one who is tired of the puzzle pieces. I guess everything is "hush hush" until actual signing day.
4 hours ago, DentonLurker said:Since schools aren't allowed to say the who of commitments until they sign, this is the school's way of showing love/excitement to the players who are committing. It also signals momentum to other recruits. I don't know why anyone would be annoyed by this.
This! Again for those in the cheap seats:
THE SCHOOL CANNOT COMMENT ON SPECIFIC RECRUITS UNTIL THEY SIGN AN LOI.
In the age of social media, that rule has been stretched (to the breaking point) with the school apparently providing graphics to the recruits to use in the posts - which is often how we can tell if a player is being recruited officially. But in principle, NT can’t say if a kid has given a verbal or not. They can only announce a signing.

NIL changes the game on this though. For most college football players, the reality is they won’t get drafted so if you can go get paid in college you should do it.
I can’t argue with that, to be honest. I think I have said the same about some of the guys that left, like Tylor in basketball. He isn’t likely going to the NBA so might as well start out with a couple hundred grand in the bank while struggling to start a career. Same for most football players, but the data does show those elite level G5 players have a better chance staying home in their last year. In general, if you think you won’t have an NFL a shot, sure that payday makes sense.

All-conference G5 players who transfer to P5 for their final season are significantly less likely to get drafted or even get a camp invite:
Obviously this is a snapshot of only one time of player but a good “grass isn’t always greener” data point.

I’m not sure if you mean this as a positive or a negative, but it illustrates the fine line between 5-7 and 9-3.
If by “fine line” you mean “defense that was so bad couldn’t make one stop when it needed to, even with only :40 seconds left in the game” then I completely agree.

Playoff bracket predictions?

Yet they somehow managed to win those games. Their last two games were an in-state rivalry (bad team but still) and #14 in a conference championship game.
