    Hats off to Johnny Jones, Shawn Forrest and everyone involved in the recruting process.

    I believe that Henry will committ to UNT. I hope Tony Mitchell sticks with his studies and gets all the necessary credits. I expect that one of the two of them will be in uniform next December.

    Starting line up at season's beginning in 2011 should be:

    Alzee Williams PG

    Walton SG

    J. Williams SF

    K. Hogans PF

    B. Knox C

    Off the bench - T. Norris, C. Jones, J. Holmen, J. Henry, and/or T. Mitchell, C. Spencer (maybe) and returning PF whose name is not hitting me right now and too lazy too look

    Alonzo Edwards

    Correct!

    I knew that I had read that somewhere. Jude is Brandon's cousin but his parents adopted him. It sounds like they have a great relationship.

    Story

    While the 6-foot-1-inch, 240-pound defensive end may intimidate on the field, he is the protector off it. The oldest of five siblings, AK has had eyes on him his entire life, none more important than his brother Jude. AK’s parents adopted his cousin Jude during his sophomore year. The little brother is now a starting defensive end at CHHS, continuing a history of following in his elder sibling’s footsteps.

    Seems we have three brothers of current UNT players showing interest in UNT...Jude Akpunku, Will Fitzpatrick and Ellis Carey. I know that its not always the case that a kid brother follows big brother to school...but does anybody out there know if these three have been offered, or are of the caliber to be offered by UNT?

    I certainly wouldn't mind another Akpunku or Carey on the roster...

    One of the articles about Jude Akpunku said that Brandon is his cousin.

  9. Who To Recruit To Start In 11

    in Mean Green Football

    Posted

    QB - Dodge/Thompson

    RB - Some kid named Dunbar

    U-Back - Prior

    T - Tomlinson

    G - Feeley

    C - Johnson

    G - Y'Barbo

    T - Noble/Bean/Franklin

    TE - Fitzpatrick

    WR - Taylor

    WR- Stratford

    WR- Carey

    WR - Baines

    OL will be very young and inexperienced...WR depth will not be deep...Fitzpatrick is not a blocking TE..does Dodge move back to WR if he doesn't start at QB

    I would expect for Adedipe to get a look on the OL and Olawale looked good at TE as well.

  15. Ull Game-Recruits

    Pretty large group of recruits at the ULL game. I didn't catch the players' names, but two recruits played for the "Sabertooths" or Sabertigers, or something close to that. Also a recruit named Cobbs I think. Saw a big kid from Denton Guyer, possibly a basketball recruit. Looked to be 6-8+.

    Was it Guyer or Ryan? There was a pretty big kid wearing a Ryan basketball shirt and his father looked like he knw a lot of people in the stands.

    What happens in the business/corporate world is a universe away from what should happen in college athletics. The fact that so many keep trying to relate the two just continues to drive home my point.

    Maybe we shouldn't even keep score at the games and just hand out participation ribbons to both teams.....

    Tired and worn out... In the business world one team winning does not equal one team losing.

    In many of our jobs less than 95%-100% performance will get you fired. In the business world, it matters how you do it integrity wise as much as if you are able to accomplish it.

    Ask Enron how giving their shareholders results panned out for them.

    We must win the right way. If we can't do it the right way, we don't deserve to win.

    I never said that integrity doesn't matter. My point was that "integrity"/"running a classy program"/etc is great, but shouldn't save your job when your record is 5-34.

    The attitude you display (and that of financial supporters of big-time college programs around the country) is the reason that college football has become a disgrace in so many circles. You really expect winning no matter what with a bunch of student athletes who have just graduated from high school? You really apply real-world business principles to college football? We are talking about scholarship program here not business.

    This is college football, not boy scouts.

    SOME of you on this board need to understand something about yourselves. SOME of you have an inferiority complex, and you don't know it...which is a part of the complex. SOME of you really get your swagger from how your team wins...or not. Someone said on another post, "I am a winner and I only associate with winners." My response is: Go jump on the UT bandwagon then. Do some of you really get embarrassed at work if we lose? When some college football "fan" ribs me for being a North Texas grad, I just say, "I am proud do be from a school that has a coach in which the players are true student athletes and the program is conducted with class....we will be winning soon...it's only a matter of time." Some need to take a break from all of this and get a handle on things.

    What line of work are you in?

    In the business world, shareholders expect results. No one is going to get a free pass because the are running a "classy" program with "true" employees who buy their secretaries flowers on Secretary's Day..........it is about results, especially when others around you in similar situations are doing so much better. Save the "It's not whether you win or lose" bs for someone else and have a little pride.

  21. Coaching?

    Brandon McCoy is the vocal leader for the players on DEF side of the ball , he kinda took over were Tobe left off. None on the other side of the ball that I see or know of

    I'd love to see McCoy get some PT

    McCoy was in the game last night (#66), along with Dixon (#65) and Gaines (#49).
