*************************************************************************'
OT Kyle Stouffer, Dallas Highland Park, 6-6,290 fills major need
Agreed OT, I almost put Stouffer in there!
-
Cam Newton and Tim Tebow... I'd find a way to use both of them...
Pretty sure Tebow is unavailable but Cam... depends upon what kinda deal we can make with his dad!
Sorry couldn't help it...<puts head down in shame>

In addition to Henderson Texas A&M signed another defensive tackle named Rod Davis out of Houston Eisenhower the same year. He also didn't qualify and went to Fort Scott CC in Kansas. He is out this year and doesn't list any colleges of interest.
Was just researching his stats on the Jayhawk Conference page last night!
Looks interesting...hope we shake a visit out of him!

Alright I realize Santa has come and gone for the year but I’d like to know everyone’s current Top 5 recruiting wishlist. So what 5 verbals would make your weekend?
Please keep it to recruits that are either listing us or are realistic possibilities (no 4* recruits that are uncommitted but visiting only upper BCS schools recruits, you get the picture).
I’ll jump in there first:

Princeton Jackson - ILB, 6'2", 230 lbs, 4.6 40, Blinn JUCO
David Cobb - RB, 5'11", 205, 4.5 40, Ellison HS, Killeen

Alright thoughts & Comments and YOUR top 5!

I can tell you that the staff knows who Trint Jenkins is...or at least they should. They got an updated film on him the first of the week. He has all of the skill needed to compete at this level...no doubt. As far as DL...I know that they have offered Rakeem Knight. He is an unknown to most...but isnt to the recruiters at point. A huge number of FCS schools have offered along with UNT. Oklahoma State is very interested...and Arkansas has 2 coaches flying to Birmingham this morning to see him before the dead period.

Thanks for the heads-up, SLP!
BTW did they request/get film on his teammate, Gary Lee too?

Do you see us incorpoating a TE into our current spread/option formations?
Reason I ask is that at ISU, Mac ran kind of a modified pro-set (sets including a 3rd wr/TE/FB). Some of his best success at ISU came with dual-threat QBs and solid pass catching/blocking TEs.
-
Sure this has already been discussed but I didn't see it and couldn't find it when I searched.
What primary offensive and defensive schemes are we likely to run under Coach Mac?
Thanks!

Sorry for not warning ya man!
Was VERY over-dramatic and long!

I dunno... seems the kid is showing the same class he's shown the past few years and just wants to start over fresh.
1. Haven't seen any reason to doubt this kid's character over the past three seasons. Have I missed something?
2. He's walking out of here still praising UNT when he could be throwing crap and stirring up the media. How many other transfers have you heard about that have nothing but hate for thier last team?
3. If I remember right (note: I could be wrong), he was pounced on right after his father was canned and asked, mid-season, about next year. Could he have responded better? Yep, but if he'd have said "I don't know" The media and the fanbase would NEVER have let that go.
4. Finally let's face it, next year this kid would've had the most difficult transition of any other player on the team. (Having someone replace your dad is personal, even if it's for ligit reasons).
Basically it's a fresh start for him and fewer distractions for Coach Mac and staff next year. Sounds like a Win-win to me.
Best of luck to you young man!

Saw this just a bit ago.
So is this much ado about nothing or a PR black-eye?
Overly dramatic? Absolutely...but she does have a point!

After reading the forum rules, I’m not sure how to proceed. Please help!
There are several recruits that I would love to see this new staff at least touch base with, question is “how to list them”. I understand the forum rules format (listings/links etc) but…
Is it ok to list them or should I just send an e-mail to the forum moderator?
Do I list each one separately or small batches?
THANKS!
BTW Hopefully you’ll only have to tell me this once!

Somewhat familiar with Berry's past (I'm a long time OSU alum/fan) and very familiar with the importance of coaching ties. Did not mean to appear to be freaking out, but am concerned with the in-roads made by ULM in areas that I have long wished UNT would establish a small foothold, namely the OKC metro area and SW/SE Oklahoma. Of course, these areas would only be used to supplement the primary recruiting in Texas.
However, what got my attention were the following two recruits (Tulsa area) and then later seeing the number of kids who listed an interest in ULM (albeit as a fallback). Feel like UNT should be that fallback program and that we should be able to hold our own or better when recruiting against our Sunbelt brethren. Yes, realize this is a new staff coming in late and I have no doubt that next year will be very different. Just hoping we begin to make some in-roads this year as well!
Notable ULM OK commits:
OL/DL/LB- Derrick Alexander, Jr.
Booker T. Washington (5A State Champs)
6’3/260/???
1st team All-State (Oklahoman & Tulsa World)
Tulsa World’s OK POY
Rivals 2-stars, Scout 2-stars
OL-Ben Risenhoover – Jenks
6’ 3”/270/5.3
1st team All-State (Tulsa World)
2nd team All-State (Oklahoman)
Rivals 2-stars, Scout 2-stars
Anyway looking forward to seeing how the next month plays out!

Long time lurker here, first post on the new boards (yep have lurked THAT long!) so please bear with me.
Has anyone in the new staff been assigned Oklahoma for recruiting? Have noticed Louisiana-Monroe has been hitting the state hard this year. There are several of kids in the Tulsa area that may fall to ULM that need to end up in Denton.
