Tebow's the right comparison. They have the same delivery. Long windup throws where they bring the ball down by their waist before they let go. This long windup is influenced by having a pitching background and it makes it very hard to throw a tight spiral.No, he isn't accurate enough to play in the NFL, same knock Tebow had against him and Tebow was far more productive against better competition in college.
The less tight your spiral is, the harder it is to project your throw where you want it and be accurate. Didn't prevent them from being productive in college.

Believe me, I wish we didn't have to, to the extent some demand, either but we do.

Most big-time football schools bring in multiple early enrollees, as they are called, each class. They do not have to pay their way for the first semester, since there is an early enrollment signing period.Interesting that a high school kid can enroll before even signing his letter of intent, which can't occur until February.
I'm assuming Means would have to pay his own way for the Spring semester?

You're talking to a fan who has gotten blasted for things on the football forum much less than what you have said about a few recruits. Just making sure you are aware of the recruits and their parents reading this board. You're obviously a true fan, I just don't think Brandon would appreciate what you say about him on here. And he could very well read this board.
I agree that JF Thomas will be more highly recruited because of his height. He almost certainly has the higher ceiling of the two, but Fonzale was the number one this year. Even if it was just because he has the experience. You saw them play live though, I just saw highlights and stats that blatantly show who was more productive.
I like your "call them like you see them" posts and have even said I like that. Just think we all need to be careful with any negative or neutral comments about the kids who have threads on this board.

247 has a pretty sweet new feature. It's called class calculator, and it basically lets you add whoever you want to our recruiting class and shows you what that does to our recruiting class score/rank.
For example, I added some of the guys who are committed but aren't listed as commits on 247 (couldn't add K Trevor Moore since he doesn't have a profile).

You can add whoever you want. Our top targets to see what our class score/ranking could look like, our add 5-stars. Cool feature, check it out.

Is rice our competition for the HoD bowl?Puts Rice closer to winning and going to the Liberty Bowl. Good news in my book.
-
Thanks for keeping up with these stats!
-
Absolutely, please do this. Great pub for our school in a season where we've season as much good pub as we have the last 9 years combined basically.Once you vote, click on the share with twitter or Facebook link then hit the back arrow and vote as many times as you want. I will be voting all night. The more positive accolades for our University and Players the better.

Any football starved mean green fans won't be disappointed if they go out to Allen and watch that Trinity vs DeSoto game.Denton Ryan & Cedar Hill will play at Southlake Carroll on Saturday at 2:00 PM. Denton Guyer plays Birdville Friday night at Apogee (7:30 PM)
Desoto plays Trinity at 4:00 PM on Saturday at Allen (I'm taking this one in)

It's Clayton, #73. I'm pretty sure his first name is Sean, but his last name is ClaytonIs it Clayton or Clayborn? There has been a kid named Clayborn on the sidelines all year.

You got it. Although I would say Polk has the inside track over Brown at the moment. Polk has played very well at end. He will not be able to play a heavy percentage of downs due to his weight, but I think he has the inside track at starting.DE - Daryl Mason
DT - Austin Orr
DT - Lincoln Alexander
DE - Quentin Brown
OLB - JUCO or Sed Ellis
MLB - Anthony Wallace or Fred Scott
OLB - Derek Akunne
CB - James Jones
CB - Kenny Buyers
SS - Laramie Lee
FS - Zed Evans or Freddie Warner
I think will be fine on Defense next year IF we keep Skladany.
We also are looking at bringing in some JUCO d-lineman. Some ends and maybe Max Martial could compete for starting spots

Preciate it miner!

Defensive player of the year?Much to our chagrin, I wouldn't be surprised if that honor went to either Larry Coker or Curtis Johnson.

That's why it's called a HIGHlight film. The players pick the plays and their coaches cut it up for them.Its always amazing how they only show a kids highlights. (None from their game against Cedar Hill, 2 plays against Desoto and none against Euless Trinity) I'm glad to see that the kid did show up in some games as I didn't see him make any plays in 3 games. He also a missed a tackle that led to a long Trinity touchdown run last week. Hope he turns into a player.
Cooley, I respect your knowledge and your insight, but you've been trolling hard this recruiting year. You've been saying a lot of negative and very little positive. If we had half as many people in the recruiting forum as the football forum, you'd get blasted about saying negative things when recruits and their parents read these boards.
You said there was no way South Oak Cliff would make any noise in the playoffs because of their ugly win against Mansfield Summit earlier in the year, yet they went 11-2 and made it to the third round. You also said Fonzale Davis was the 2nd best receiver on his team, yet he had over twice as many catches and over three times as many yards as JF Thomas, the guy you said was SOC's best receiver.
You also said DeSoto didn't have the defense to make a deep run and they'd lose to a team like Coppell or Allen. Yet they're now 13-0 after beating Coppell.
You don't have to say all these players are going to be future all-conference guys for us, but you also don't have to blast them and say things like "Can someone remind me why we offered Brandon Garner?" Again, the insight is appreciated, just be careful not to go to far when criticizing these kids.

His last name is Clayton, and that's about all there is that can be found about him.Yep, did we ever find out about the big guy who was wearing #73 ( I believe) on the sidelines?? Also can we expect Chad Davis to see a lot more of Chad Davis next year on D?
Chad Davis has some speed, but he's probably going to be behind the same guys next year as he was this year, with Buyers, Jones, and Whitfield all back. Hope he pushes them in spring though.
-
Yeah, they will provide solid depth at least. They're speedy guys who are built perfectly for special teams as well with their size and speed.Billy I am glad you mentioned Jamal Marshall. I am excited to see him and Calvin Minor in the coming years and what they can contribute. UNT is no longer lacking guys who can flat out make plays on Defense at LB.
I'm glad the days where half our recruiting classes or more transfer, quit, or never make it in. Marc's bringing them in, keeping them, and developing them. We're here for the long haul.

Thank you.There is a 1st and 2nd and then an Honorable Mention.
Rick
Then yes, should be tough to make either 1st or 2nd team in a 14-team conference. We should still be well represented though.
CUSA coach of the year?

I agree, it does. He sounds very passionate about football and committed from following him on twitter.As silly as it sounds, that opening moment of them coming out of the "tunnel" shows that he has somel leadership in him. It'll be interesting to see if he ends up at S or LB. I think he's a little slow for S and will have to put on weight for LB
He fits the mold of Mccarney outside linebackers. Think guys like Sed Ellis, Jamal Marshall, and even Will Wright who he did not recruit. Not huge linebackers, but sideline to sideline guys who can cover as well.

Thank you everyone who made this season possible! Fans, donors, alumni, students, faculty, everyone.
Very grateful to experience a winning season as a student at UNT. Thanks for adding to the great college experience I've had at UNT.

How many all-conference teams are there? 1st, 2nd, and 3rd? Or just 1st and 2nd?

There is, but if you don't sign 25 one year, then you can sign however many you were short in addition to the 25 the next year. The catch is that the signees past the 25 have to enroll at mid semester.Thought that there was a 25 a year max?
For example; we signed 23 last year. 2 short of 25. We can sign 27 this year, 2 more than 25, as long as at least 2 of the signees enroll at mid semester or sooner. Since Anthony Wallace is already enrolled and Connor Means will enroll for next semester, we can sign 27. They still count as part of our 2014 signing class.

Senior highlights for anyone who wants to see them.

He's from Dekaney high school in Spring, Texas. A Houston suburb. Very good school though. They won the 5A division II state championship two years ago.Ill take any DE from Dekaney. Good ole East Texas speed and athleticism. I am calling Monday to order my season tickets for next year. I plan on getting club level seats, can anyone tell me after I pay the 500 dollar donation what is left to pay for? I graduated in May and I read there is a discount for alumni who just graduated. Any help would be nice to know before talking with the ticket office.
Don't know. Recent alums, graduated 5 years ago or less, are supposed to sit on the same side as the student section. You may have to pay full price if you want to sit club level. Hopefully that's not the case though and you can get your discount.

BYU is one of the best scoring teams in the country. Their junior guard Tyler Haws is basically what Jimmer Fredette was for them a few years ago, but Haws is 6'5". He was Fredette's wingman for Jimmer's junior year, then Haws went on a mission for two years so he wasn't able to help Jimmer out during his senior year.
Haws is in his second year back from his mission and is averaging 23.7 point/game this year, and averaged 21.7 last year. They have a lot of guys who can knock down the three ball and a 6'10" freshman center who can score (13.4 points/game).
If our zone is sloppy these guys will drill open threes on us all night. We match up well athletically, and we have to use that to our advantage.
