    They all had their eyes opened when they saw the size and speed of our guys, yes even at UNT D1 dudes are much bigger and faster than your average HS kid.  They loved the presentation on facilities and where the University is headed.  They loved that UNT had a lot of options academically and that they had invested so much $ into new facilities not just athletically but academically.  The pitch from last year to this year changed a bit, in that last year they talked a lot more about each coach and where they recruited this year they hit big time on facilities/upgrades/renovations and the new Nike contract.  Didn't go into details about that only that they were maxed in storage.  The facility expansion of athletic complex (offices team room etc, will begin once indoor is finished).  Also fun fact the day we're done with fall practice the bull dozer will begin moving dirt for the indoor, if I heard correctly.  The pictures of the new indoor looked incredible.  The kids were very impressed by the different graphics etc.  even the team room had upgrades since the last time I was in.  

     

    Negatives: they all mentioned how tiny the weight room was, one asked where the football weight room was, as we walked in.  That got answered in the facilities expansion.  Looks like they'll blow out the training room and make that all the weight room doubling its size with the ability to expand further if $ allows.  

    A bit disorganized at the end of the game, no one to grab all recruits and say ok we're going into the LR for post game speech.  Kind of left to our own to figure out where to go. Also once we were dropped off in stands by the girls helping out that was the last of anyone we saw.  Wish we had some type of halftime deal where kids and family went back inside saw a different presentation maybe highlights, or have Former players come in and talk about their time at the university.  There is much less "hype" in our recruiting process than the other schools I've been to, and kids relate to that.  Energy was a bit flat throughout the evening.  When I attended an SMU (gross) game with one of my kids the energy level was off the charts and it resonated with the kids.  Just my observations and what I heard from the kids. 

     

    Positives- Every kid there was raving about our staff and their relationship with them.  Spoke with a Local kid who we are in on, and he said he had bigger offers but he loved the staff and loved what they were building.  Think we have a solid shot on him, kid has his head on his shoulders straight.  He isn't one who will get the wool pulled over his eyes.  

    Someone needs to get this directly to Wren Baker and Seth Littrell.
