That prediction came before the Washington State offer. We shall see. I think we are still the favorite. But it has gave him some stuff to think about

Had in Shorter, White and Darden. This is a P5 WR core

2 more I know of are close. But I don't have a time line when they are committing. One is on offense the other is on defense

FIne. Bussey. Hambone. Smith in that order. Bussey is one of the best WR in the country. But I have the most confidence in Fine getting drafted. The NFL loves a good storyline during the draft. The success of Russell Wilson and Kyler Murray have helped his cause. I still think he will need to stay healthy and have a good fall. But far the record I think Fine, Bussey and Hambone are drafted.

so about that Mason Fine Heisman website? Great publicity for the team and player. This fall will be fun!

Looks like the 2nd commit has landed 😎

We hinted on the recruiting podcast! 6'1 280 very nice add

We hinted about this one on the podcast. Why you should always listen. This will make @NorthTexasWeLove happy. 6 '1 280

He participated today.

All commits will be in. And a couple more prospects to keep an 👀 on. I wouldn't be surprised if we had 2 commits this weekend. 2 are very close

can be pushed forward to 2020 class. Like a blue shirt. Just can get here until fall

Shout out to @UNTLifer for putting this out. I have confirmed Rs Freshman DT Derrick Shaw has left the team due to personal reasons.

Yes Demeco Roland was very nice..... the reason he didn't have P5 offers was grades... we took a flyer. if he would have been a 4.0 like Dodson he would probably be in the big 12. That the reason you cant land those guys every year. They aren't going to ask every kid to put on 65 pounds. But when you have athleticism and the frame you have versatility. This defense they value quickness over power and size. sometimes you can get both rod young/dion novil. I a not saying it is right. Just their philosophy. Also be on the look out I think we are close on a couple DT that will tickle your fancy.

well then what are you asking for?

Im sure the staff would love to take 320 lb 4 stars. But until you start winning double digits and top 25 year end year out you have to develop. Taking athletic/versatile 255 pounders isn't qualified as flyers.

I don't think the staff feel DT is a position of need or that we have depth issues. also I believe the staff views signees from last class Jimmy Walker and Kenneth Dotson to make the same trasition Dion Novil has made. Both are super athletic for 6'3 255. when Dion Novil signed he was 6'3 255 as well. Now he is 315. I would not be suprised to see both red shirt and add good weight just like Dion has. DT is just like the OT position. Some times you have to get projects and develop. This staff think you can add weight but you cant add athleticism.

I get the competition diffidence. But i had the argument with a guy from DCTF the other day. Yes the competition is greater but so is your supporting cast. For instance if Sam Elhinger came to UNT I don't think we win 9 games.
