I would/will feel better if we get some size up front. If we can't slow them down before they pass the line, it will be another long year.

Possibly, pending a late announcement, but I still have to put the defensive efforts in the "D" range. As I mentioned elsewhere, hopefully, we will focus on the defensive side in the following portal window. PS - I'm not going to lie; this lack of focus on adding defensive players is strange, to say the least. I find it hard that Capaoni wanted to add as little as we did. Again, confusing.

Does the person who put the confused vote understand that these are also professional teams? I'm not sure how they could be confused.

That was an issue last season. Even when our defense was struggling Moriss was still running plays as fast as possible. I understand that is what we would like to do but as a head coach he needs to realize when his defensive struggling that slowing down the ball on the offense can help support them.

Remember, this is GMG.com - There will be those who always want to believe the ones we have are not quite good enough, and the ones that got away would have been the difference makers.

I'm guessing we didn't land the transfer quarterback from Liberty?

Have we considered that Caponi is not the reason we are not signing more defensive players? Morris is the one who directs the recruiting. If he wanted more defensive help we would be getting it. He seems to have tunnel focus on the offensive side of the ball.

I hope they do a full-court press on adding more players on the defensive side of the ball in the Spring Portal window.

Are we expecting anyone else to comitt? Any updates on this weekends visitors?

I know I'm beating the proverbial dead horse, but we have seen with Austin's last season and Rogers last season, you can put up great offensive numbers but if you don't play defense you're not going to be in the running for championships.

Very happy with the efforts on the offensive. Sadly, it highlights the seemingly background status Morris seems to place on defense.

Unless something breaks today or tomorrow I think most would agree that the overall Talent brought in on defense has been very disappointing through the portal. Hopefully Morris ( and I personally have my doubts as to his commitment is to having a top half of the league defense) and his staff can make the second spring portal a priority to bring in some defensive players. If not, I would not be surprised next season to see us have great offensive stats but still struggle to win more than six. Despite the potential offensive power we could easily start 1-3.

I know you're a great Mean Green fan, but really hope that someday you're able to get rid of your hate for anything Coach Morrison seems to do.

My guess is 5-7 in the spring portal. The reality is they will find/make enough room available for any players they are confident they can add. In the portal age it seems more schools are willing to encourage players to leave if they need the spots.

Still hoping we can also land the Liberty transfer.

This. I believe he still has 4 years. We get him we should be able to red shirt Cash

An excellent indication that a player might be committing to North Texas is if they bring their luggage with them right here before registration and school starts.

UW players already hitting the portal

Looking at the secondary I will revise to a D

IMO, very poor. When you fielded the worst defense in FBS there should have been a lot more emphasis. My way to early grade: D

They are doing a good job
