Recruits only get so many Official Visits (I think it's 3)but are allowed to schedule as many Unofficial Visits as they want (because the school doesn't pay for it). In my daughters experience going through the volleyball recruiting process, the Visit experience was the same for her whether it was Official or Unofficial, the only difference is whether I had to pay for travel, lodging and food or not. She loved the photoshoot at each of the schools and would look back at those pics, imagining herself representing that school, during the decision process. I guess I can see how local schools might get abused by recruits bringing friends along on visits, but to me that's more of the schools fault for not making it clear who the visit is for and what the recruit can expect vs anyone they bring along. I'm not a fan of this decision.

My daughter just started up at The University of Dayton, where basketball is king and they consistently sell out their 13k seat stadium. Basketball is big business and the students (school size around 10k) are often on a waiting list for tickets. The University created a way to increase your chances of getting tickets to the games, and it's through a points system. Living on campus gets you a certain number of points, but attending other sporting events earns you points as well. They get a pretty consistently loud student section at volleyball, soccer, WBB, etc because people want the points to increase ability to attend the basketball games in the student section. Now I know we currently don't have a sporting event that is so highly coveted that this system would work, but I wonder if we could do something like offer a discount on tuition, or get free books, or SOMETHING, and students could earn points towards that goal with a point system for attending sporting events. You might end up accidentally creating a culture of people who truly enjoy going to the games and become lifelong fans if they are given an incentive to go to the games? Just spit balling ideas.

And not even one "at the end of the day" or "all three phases"!
Maybe he doesn’t know about the 3 phases yet? Apparently they’re pretty important.

Watched #58 Big Zeke all game. He definitely kept going until the whistle every single play. Love an enthusiastic offensive lineman! He went to my kid’s high school and he’s a close family friend.

College Basketball Rankings 2022-23 - RPI - CBSSports.com
Nice to see us continue to move up in the RPI rankings. Makes a better case for 2 bids to the NCAA Tournament?

I like it. He's the reason I've EVER heard of UIW. Remember thinking how awesome it was that they got a young guy who put them on the map.

Nah. Don't need a new beat writer for the DRC, but we do need more of a cheerleader mentality from some type of publication. Whether it's a fan dedicated site or even the NT Daily, we should have somebody with high expectations and a positive vibe.

I'm encouraged by the seeming continued improvement of our Defense. I still feel a little like Charlie Brown just waiting for Lucy to pull the ball back.

So excited for Zeke and UNT! Heading over to PHS later for his official signing day photo op. Totally under the radar, so thankful the coaches came to the school and uncovered him.

Goes to school with my daughter and they've chatted a bit about this. Unfortunately for him, he hadn't been sending film out to anyone proactively, was really unaware of what he could/should be doing. Coaches that have come to the school to visit the program have seen him and asked for film. Offers followed. Understand that Tulsa reached out last night as well. So glad the UNT coaching staff came out to Paschal! Zeke is a GREAT kid!

Why don’t they build out suites in the upper bowl……like get rid of the upper bowl completely so the suites are right over the action? We don’t get people up there anyway and could use the suite revenue.

Oklahoma State in 2007. Remember looking around at the crowd and thinking "This is what it should be like at every game".

Now that we'll get SMU every year, we should try to get TCU as well. Average attendance should continue to improve.

Hey, we all choose our hills to die on.
Mine is that star trek voyager was better than TNG. I'll take any of you on over that.
But our QB problem isn't so black and white. OL is poor. Receivers drop more balls than magic mike.
There's 99 things to fix on this team. We are starting to see how much we miss our WR corps
Deep Space 9 was the best series.

My daughter is being recruited for volleyball by several schools. UTSA just sent her a packet of info. I wanted to make sure she had seen the “cannon” video before she gets any ideas about them, but now I can’t find the video. Anyone on here have it?

NCAA to outlaw photoshoots?

Is that new? 2021 volleyball recruiting didn’t work that way. If that’s the case then I can see how the rule change would make sense.
