  1. Doesn't matter. They factor in the coach.
  2. Just Tyreke being a typical courteous Denton young man. Then again, being raised right means he is a man of his word and will stick with his commitment.
  3. The first three plays made me laugh out loud. Man, love this young man's attitude. Class of 2018.
  4. So, did we offer WR Justin Walker along with the OL Emil Graves?
  5. Yep, that is a "caw" alright. Besides boy, you ain't no chicken hawk.
  6. I don't know. Does he have the big cannon like AM?
  7. I agree 100%. My post was really in reply to the last 3 sentences of keith's post.
  8. Any chance Pearson, or any other recruit, will graduate early and enroll this spring?
  9. 111 receptions for 2,352 yards and 19 TD's.
  10. Wonder if we are still after him? I would love to know how many commitments we are looking at for each position.
  11. I fully understand that higher rated classes will produce better results, but I think I also understand our situation. Here's my take. In all honestly, since Odus Mitchell retired our HC position has been a carousel. Fry looked like a keeper, and probably would have stayed but we weren't invited to the SWC, so off he went. After that it was a drop down to 1AA, bad hires, hires that came at the wrong time (Nelson), more bad hires, a disgruntled coach that didn't get along with the AD, a couple of bad HS hires, etc... My comment on Corky Nelson being hired at the wrong time is just an opinion, but I would love to see what he could have done with a supportive administration and the facilities we have today. Long story short, this has just been an unstable department for years getting by with the bare minimum. IF...IF, Littrell will stay for a couple of years, have some continued success, I think this will take off, but people have to see sustained success. We, the alumni, must support the program, the students have to continue to come, the administration has to continue to step up, etc... and eventually people's impressions of us will change. Until then, our staff must convince a few highly rated recruits to take a chance and come to UNT, find the diamonds in the rough, utilize the JUCO system and build the program along the lines of how Snyder did it at KSU. Again, just my opinion, but we are one year removed from a 1-11 season, improved to 5-7 this year, and we must continue to improve and sustain that improvement over time.
  12. Great pickup. Love this young man's athleticism and had a good offer list, so everyone should be happy.
  13. What's going on in Coppell?
  14. Kind of out of the way. How in the world do you expect us to make this tailgate and then get to the game on time? Are breakfast tacos included?
  15. The breakfast tacos were a life saver last time around, especially after hammering bloody mary's all morning.
  16. An apologist? I haven't made a comment about this class other than to say I will wait until signing day to pass judgement. All I noted was that their are hits and misses on both ends of the spectrum.
  17. My skin is a lot thicker than you can imagine, but I find it quite funny that you start off your comment with the term "civilly" and shortly thereafter can't think of anything better to use than the word bullshit, etc... You should be proud of your command of the English language and the vast development of your vocabulary. If you would have read the last sentence of my original post you would have noticed that has stated there are exceptions on both ends of the spectrum. I was just sighting an example, but if your reading comprehension equals your vocabulary, I can see where that might be lost on you. Carry on.
  18. Thanks for being civil. Speaking of my post above, I understand Mayfield was an outlier. I was just making the point that there are exceptions on both ends of the spectrum, that is all. Just as BillySee noted above with his list of 5 star players that we will likely never sniff, and I am alright with that. As Billy also stated, many of our players don't get fairly evaluated by these services. Being how our classes have been, waiting a couple of years to see how they develop is only reasonable. Again, just speaking of our classes historically. Nobody would have ever guessed that Johnny Quinn, Patrick Cobbs, Chris Hurd, Laramie Lee, Scott Hall, etc... would have developed and produced the level of success they did when they were first recruited.
