  3. How I View Recruiting

    in UNT Football Recruiting

    Posted

    2016 we were ranked 11th in conf and 115 natl . Now we are 9th a 19% increase and 100th which is a 15% increase. 2016 we had 6, 3* and now 11 that is a 55% increase. This seems like a strong step in the right direction. This is the largest 3* class that I can remember by a long shot. I am still looking forward to some late signees?

    Ok....

    But this is definitively a 10th place or worse class in CUSA this cycle. We're 9th as it stands, so 5 programs are behind us. All but 1 program (ODU) still have 10+ ships to handout to boost their classes. Laugh all you want, but when recruiting stays like this it's the opposition that will be getting the last laugh on most Saturday's. 

    Do you judge based on C-USA rankings or Nat'i Rankings or how many more additional 3* we sign? If you look at the class so far as a whole it is a solid improvement over the last 2 years. Hope we find a few more Michael Lawerence type players. I still think a big negative for us at this time is the IPF (is about $700,000 short) and the weight room. How are you going to make me a better player with limited facilities on the development side? I hope the student fee passes and we can get started on the IPF SOON!

    Yes we signed/have 8 3* committed with multiple others having been rated a 3* and now lowered (LeBlanc, Nixon, etc).. but 1 of those 8 is a QB who we have to remember many people had questions about as to why he wasn’t the QB1.. Another 3* is a undersized RB that is coming into a stable of RBs that has 2 higher rated 3*s in place (Smith and Siggers). The WRs will see limited action, so again why would we play them if they only get 70-90 reps the entire season? That alone is half the 3*s that will likely not see the field this year. The defensive 3*s we have no idea. Davis has changed positions, Gibbs is in a position that we don’t know which side of the ball, Williams is the highest rated but does he have the size to play Day 1? Shaw will likely be a rotational piece. 

    Again it’s great we are adding 3* but this is a team has been adding them in areas we have mostly quality players/depth at. The LBs need a lot of help and more size, and the DL needs more size as well.

    Yea and who was our leading receiver last year. A walk on!  If we can’t get HS D-Lineman then we better start developing them through PWO and redshirts.

    The problem isn't that we are losing kids to P5, to me that is understandable.. the problem is handicapped ourself with the early on recruits with some very unimpressive offer lists. I’m sorry about all the OL we got should be PWO with rh ability for them to compete for a scholarship. 

    Yes we added some very talented kids in Williams, Gibbs, Shorter, Davis among others. The problem is we have added kids that have very unimpressive offer lists as well. So for every impressive offer list we added, we added 1 with a lacking offer list. We also are lacking that true stud/leader of the class in my eyes. 

    In the first two classes we added someone that or someone’s that were .84+ and to me that seems like someone who is the cornerstone of that class (and in the eyes of UNT fans, a major get/prospect/recruit). Even though William Johnson never showed up, it was a big get. Guyton was another great building piece and an instant starter. This class, I have questions as to who is a Day 1 starter? I would love to see Williams, Gibbs, etc start and see them grow from Day 1, but we are not sure they are ready (ie build, knowledge, etc) for them to be out there vs SMU. 

    Not to knock anything but Marshall best out Bama for a WR, UTSA best out (or was the last one standing) Tennessee for their WR; LT landed a WR with multiple P5 offers, FIU added 2 huge DTs with multiple P5 offers and our beat school to beat our was Illinois. We need to find a few solid kids left, because to me it’s disappointing seeing FAU with 11 recruits ranked ahead of UNT with 21 and of that 21 it’s actially 20 with the recent QB being gone the next 2 years

    The more 3* players we have the odds are better to find that  player or players who will have an impact. We had only 6 3* last year compared to 8 3* signed or committed this year. If we can end this year like the last two years and find those gems could be a really good class! GMG

    Our recruiting continues to get butchered the closer we get to signing day.

    Never in the ballpark for this guy, he wanted another P5. Last year we got 6 3* players, so far this year we have 8 signed or committed. We did great last year when we got some studs a few days before signing. Let’s hope it happens this year!

    Good thing we're both Utah and BYU right? I mean what kind of logic are you trying to relate here? We literally are neither of those schools and our staff are not from either those schools. So why would you bring up those schools?

    Duh. Just stating that it can work!  We are not Texas either so what does that mean?

    2 years off?  Sorry but as we sit here wondering about how much Bryce English is going to be effective with the same amount of time off...yet actually working out and practicing...but we are excited about this kid riding his bike spreading the good news for two years?  This is just about as awkward as it gets.  I hope he breaks records when he gets here but would you be ok with someone committing to a Fed-Ex delivery job (physically demanding) for two years before coming to play football for UNT?

    BYU and most of the Utah schools has worked out pretty well. He would of red shirt out of High school now he will red shirt 2 years later. This staff can evaluate talent! Congrats to all! GMG

    Quote from Scout.com:

    Scout Eval: Fennegan is a quarterback who is able to make a bevy of plays with the football in his hands. He seems to have a real feel for the pocket and works well outside of the pocket or on the run. Fennegan has a quick release and while he is not a dual-threat he moves well enough to be a running threat in crunch situations or if running lanes are left open. He is arm will add natural strength as he adds mass and power to his frame with age. 

    And it won’t hurt that he will be 2 more years more mature both mentally and phisically!
