  1. Just got a commitment from a 4-star, almost 5-star, junior running back with offers from Bama, Auburn, FSU, Florida, Georgia, LSU, okay you get it. Has offers from basically everyone.

    He's got a long ways to go until 2015 signing day, but it makes me think. When will we see a 4-star commit to UNT? It doesn't have to happen, but can't help but ask why not North Texas?

  2. They are gonna be the hands down favourite to win the league next year. I am not so sure we'll play them (before the championship game) though, as we'll only play 2 teams cross division and there are also 4 others we haven't played yet (I hope UNT get to play FIU, that is a free win right there).

    Good chance we'll play at MUTS and home against whoever takes USM's slot in the east (maybe WKU?).
  3. I am surprised that we haven't hit Houston hard this class, but we did get Connor Means from Deer Park and Kishawn McClain from Rosenberg. They just aren't very highly rated.

    We did however straight up raid East Texas this year. Maybe we raid Houston next year. We'll continue to recruit Houston. That much is all we know.

  4. Curious what Adams stats were this year in OK? I think he may be overlooked in this class, but will be a great addition to the team.

    Here's a link to his stats that were uploaded to maxpreps.

    http://www.maxpreps.com/athlete/jalen-adams/-LkGq_TwEeKZ5AAmVebBJg/gendersport/football-stats.htm

    33 catches for 324 yards and 3 touchdowns his senior year. I like Adams too. He's an underrated recruit of ours because of the other receivers we have committed, but his highlights show some sweet skills (alliteration ftw).

  5. So, just a cumulative statistical update of our three receiver commits from Texas (Goree, Rutherford, and Fonzale Davis), now that the stats are final for the Carthage boys: 229 catches, 4443 receiving yards, and 62 receiving touchdowns.

    Merry Christmas guys! I bet whoever wins the qb competition will enjoy having these new toys to work with.

  6. Nothing. I just had not heard anyone talking about him, Billy didn't include him in his DE review and I had not seen him play.

    Yeah, Dilonga and also forgot to mention Andy Flusche who could be a factor after winning scout team POTY at the banquet.

    One more name I would keep an eye on the d-line would be Lajaylin Smith. He played d-end in high school and is in a very similar situation to Chad Polk last spring when they moved Polk to defensive end. Similar body size as well. Just speculation on my part though.

  7. I knew SFA was a good team. I originally had it chalked up as a win but changed my mind as the game got closer. Did you not read? SFA is better then A&M and Oklahoma. I also said that. Did you not read?

    The record is not the problem. Having the wins and losses chalked up like you had is not the problem. You have to read between the lines of the games.

    Losing to SFA wasn't the problem. Losing by almost 40 at home was the problem. Don't care what they did last year. They're a good team, but not talented enough to be beating us by almost 40 at our place.

    Beating Portland wasn't the problem. Losing 2 games to Idaho and Columbia, and needing a tremendous TJ Taylor performance and overtime to win 1 game, not to mention having a big leg up athletically on all 3 of those teams, that tournament should've been all ours.

    Losing to BYU wasn't a big deal. Being down 40 late in the game with no semblance of an offense was. That top 20 team that you proclaimed BYU will be; they're 8-5 and give up tons of points. They're good and have played a pretty tough schedule this far, but that was not Duke or Arizona that was beating us by 40.

    Finally, getting wins against Wayland Baptist and Northwood at home was not the problem. Being down in both of those games and having each team try a game-tying 3 pointer in the last minute of the game is the problem.

    7-5 looks cool and all. But the way we got there... And yes Kram, I do support the team and go to the games that I can. Was not able to make the Wayland game due to working heavy hours over the Christmas break between 3 jobs. Not trying to give you a boo-hoo excuse, just letting you know that not being there doesn't mean that game was excusable.

  8. You guys already have 3-4 defensive linemen committed with at least 2 being ends. Yes, I think Washington starts because we don't have anyone better. Worst case scenario is him coming in on obvious passing downs.

    The thing is, he'd actually be one of our bigger defensive ends. The defensive ends we have coming back are smaller, pass-rushing type defensive ends. Daryl Mason will likely be one of our starters, listed at 253 lbs (may be a little much be he is decent sized), and Chad Polk (listed at 223) and Quenton Brown (listed at 235) will probably compete for the other spot. Also our other defensive end with a little experience is Jarrian Roberts at 238 lbs.

    Washington might be our second biggest defensive end next year if we could land him.

  9. Guy showing up on the radar again with a 9 offers will take 5 official visits. Looks like he will take his time. Some big names involved but you never know... 6-4, 265 defensive end. Hope we were one of the 5!

    That Texas offer worries me. If the new staff keeps that offer extended and goes after him then it'll be tough to say the least. You gotta be able to recruit with the big dogs to get the big dogs.

  10. Yes, early in the recruiting process he was mentioned but I believe that his height was the turnoff. At least after then only 6-4 and 6-5 candidates were publicized (Caleb Chumley, Jeremy Jones, Connor Means and finally, Josh Greer).

    It's because of Mac's offense. Shorter qbs are much more likely to be effective in spread offenses than pro style offenses. Throwing from under center is a lot more of a challenge of looking over the o-lineman and getting the ball swatted down from d-lineman. Although that is what he thrived in at Carthage.

    Not saying I agree with this, just stating the likely philosophy of why we won't see shorter qbs recruited under Coach Mac.

  11. I'm real pleased at the way things turned out for us this season but watching Santos miss that FG...you can't help but think what if...

    What if we had beaten Ohio, Tulane, UTSA? They were ALL games we could have won. Our record would have been 11-1 with our only loss against a top ranked Georgia team who we were tied up with in the 3rd...

    Would 11-1 gotten us a top 25 recognition... I have to think it could have. Could we have been a BCS buster? It's possible.

    12-1 with the conference championship would've gotten us ranked. Wouldn't have been BCS busters (you need to be undefeated for that, no exceptions) but we would've been ranked going into the Liberty Bowl.

  12. If a couple of big 12 schools offer Will he get a recruiting grade bump?

    He's a 3-star on 247, Rivals, and Scout. He isn't rated on ESPN but if they had evaluated his film he would be on there as well.

    Goree does have one more chance at getting exposure. He will be at the offense-defense all American bowl in Orlando. Most recruits in that game are big time Big 12, ACC, and SEC recruits. Good exposure and chance to compete for Goree.

  13. I guess you didn't sense the sarcasm there. We have read those kind of replies from a certain poster on here.

    Sorry. There was a post earlier that said the line was around 5 points and I thought someone took it serious and lowered the expectations.

    Just tired of lowered expectations being an excuse on here.

  14. Well we were favored by about 5 so this what was expected. Now if A&M beats us by more than 40 then I will start to get worried about Benford. 7-5 is exactly what I predicted us to be.

    So because you expected us to win to an NAIA school by 5, this win is acceptable?

    That's nice that Benford gets a 40 point cushion. Hopefully we can cut the lead under 40 during mop-up time.
