Kidsey and Davis talk a lot. I would say as of right now, UNT 65% Tulsa 25% UTSA 10% I think official UNT visit, January 18th for Davis.

These players should be punished. i can't say how severe it should be, but they broke the law and they represent UNT athletics and UNT football. With great power, comes great responsibility...to whom much was given, of him much will be required... UNT gave these guys an opportunity to represent the university, and they made a mistake. Because they are athletes, it became news where if a regular student would have done it, it would have been a slap on the wrist and they would have been able to move on. One game is not enough in my opinion. Not sure if they should lose their scholarship either, but if i had to pick one or the other, it would be loss of scholarship. I'm sorry. We can come up with all the excuses, but there are thousand of athletes that do not get caught breaking laws too. there are thousands more athletes that did not get the opportunity these two got. Man up. Whatever punishment UNT gives them, they deserve it. They knew the risk and got caught.

Jones has some nice highlights. I googled him and it looks like TCU offered him and he was going to commit to them in June. I guess something happened. Nice addition.

If a DB isn't looking for the ball, he's not a good db. Period. Can't stop what you can't see. I have seen a lot of it too. It is a known that if you don't look back for the ball a pass interference is coming and it's an easy call, and DBs are still playing the man instead of the ball. I see it all day on Saturdays and also on Sundays. The fundamentals are not taught anymore. Why is this happening? Probably because of your statement about DBs being a dime a dozen. If coaches feel that way and want to just convert any athlete to corner, then that is a lot of the problem. It's hard to find a true cover corner with the ability to backpedal, turn, and run anymore. One that is confident in their closing speed and one that has the confidence to turn their heads, while still running with the man. Corner is the one position you should not just throw anyone at. It will get exposed. If you have corners playing 10 yards off of WRs, you are pretty much giving up 5 yards automatically the way some of these QBs can throw. You are not a good corner if you are playing 10 yards off. You are scared of getting beat deep and have no confidence in your quickness or ability to recover. A D line and pass rush is very important, but a weak corner will still get exposed even if you have a strong pass rush. It's called 3 step drop or timing patterns. If you have a corner that can play close coverage or even bump and run, it will throw the timing off. QB hesitates and theres the sacks. It works hand in hand. It's rare a team has two great cover corners. A team usually has one, and then the saftey helps the other one. If both safties have to worry about the pass, then you have big problems. Most teams do not have the luxury of stopping the run with just the front 7. That 8th man in the box is the run stopper, and that is usually the strong safety. If your strong saftey is playing pass first all the time and cannot come downhill to shut down the run, then you will continue to have defensive problems.

DB help may be on the way...shutdown corner... http://www.hudl.com/athlete/605156/chad-davis#
