OK big day today with the QB verbal of Smith no doubt.

And we have some nice looking players at other positions. Full breakdown for today is:

QB - 1

WR - 2

TE - 1

OL - 4

ATH - 1

DE - 3

LB - 2

DB - 3

Here's the link in case you missed it:

17 total... decent mix but here's the deal. We have roughly 7-8 spots left to get to 25... We need some defensive tackles. Not one, not two but I think 3 and possibly another defensive end... very important that we address the DT spot as we have nothing verbaled at this particular time. They are always the toughest to land if you want quality but we need more size and strength in the interior defensive line asap!

I never want to see this program as weak as we were in the defensive line again!! We need to secure depth for the future!

Of the 17 we have 5 jucos... that's more than usual but not too many. It appears all 5 will be in spring training... would not surprise me to see a couple more that are fall arrivals.. you can get some big difference makers out of that pool..

Also, need to dig in and hold onto what we have...

Like how this class is shaping up though!

I agree that is where he is projected to be - and I think he will be a good player -- but right now he is sitting at 6-3, 255... my hope is that we can still land some DT guys who are size ready now.

Dutton Watson, Austin Orr -- these are DEnds who we projected to be DT's. Good players but undersized as we learned this season. Where's the beef?

With our scheme we have a 3-tech and a nose/1-tech DT. If Wegmann is legitimately 255 right now then he's plenty big enough to be a 3-tech. If he had legitimate FBS defensive end athleticism at 255 then he'd have a lot more offers than he had. He's a DT all the way.

I do agree I'd like to see us add a nose-type DT. A guy like that plus Wegmann as your 3-tech and a legitimate sized 1-tech/nose DT would be nice. Even though we're getting a new defensive coordinator, I still expect this kind of d-line alignment.

Please remind my forgetful self the gray shirts?

The two defensive linemen are Shaq Jackson and Jon Graham from DeSoto. Jackson was listed around 6'0" 260 lbs and Graham was around 6'1" 245. Both started both junior and senior year at DeSoto but neither had any other offers. Graham broke his leg early in his senior year.

The other grayshirt is Caleb Chumley from Longview Pine Tree. Chumley is listed around 6'5" 250 and is neck-and-neck with Tee Goree and Sam Miller at having our best offer lists of any commit/signee under Mccarney. He had over 10, including Kansas, Missouri, Oregon State, and Houston but those schools offered at tight end. He's coming in as a QB this spring, although his future is likely at tight end, unless he lights things up at qb.

If Wegmann is legitimately 255 right now then he's plenty big enough to be a 3-tech.

According to 24/7, Wegmann is 6'4", 264 lbs: http://247sports.com/Player/RD-Wegmann-76049

Regardless of size, though, I'd think that they'd be looking to redshirt any freshman DTs. Hopefully Tauaalo is ready to see some PT next year.

Each season, Mac has pretty consistently offered a walkon or two a scholarship. Unless we lose additional commits, we are likely down to 2-3 additional spots in this class.

It looks like we are in discussions with some of the UAB players and are still in need of an olineman, a DT, a safety, and probably an LB.

Not sure if the SMU and KState transfers received scholarships last year or if they will count against this class.

      How Mean Green softball is shaping up in 2025 and beyond

      In my relatively short time as a Mean Green fan, I don't think I've seen a team so carried by seniors. This weekend's series was the last three games at Lovelace for 10 Mean Green seniors, and all but one (Truitt) was either an everyday starter or saw significant playing time. Here's who will be returning barring any transfers. All classifications are what they will be in 2025. Likely starters (in my opinion) Rylee Nicholson (SR) - UT Cierra Simon (SR) - SS Madison Conley (SO) - UT Tatum Sparks (JR) - UT Elizabeth Moffitt (SO) - C Jodie Epperson (JR) - OF Returning Pitching Staff Skylar Savage (SR) Mackenzie Childers (JR) Kayleigh Smith (SO) Returning, but will they play? Mikaela Olguin (JR) - OF Emma Grahmann (SR) - IF Blayze McNemar (SO or RS-F?) - OF Maci George (SO or RS-F?) - IF There doesn't appear to be a website to find commits for softball, so through social media, here are the incoming freshmen I have found: Katy Brock, OF, Mabank Shelby Buffington, P, Franklin Page (Tennessee) Rylie Harris, C, Forney Gracie Mahoney, P, Macomb Dakota (Michigan) - another 6 footer, like Skylar Ausha Moore, IF, Carl Albert HS (Midwest City, OK) Taylor Platt, OF, Argyle Committed Inbound Freshmen for 2026 Eva Daniels, IF, Forney Laila Nobles, IF, Pearland Addie Perry, UT/C, Aledo Love the Metroplex talent we are bringing in. Forney's currently the #1 team in the state. But looks like we still have a handful of spots to fill next year. Going to need to improve the hitting and power. Maybe we can land some home run threats in the portal who want to get closer to home. I'll post stories and highlights of the commits shortly.

      Former Drake Guard Atin Wright commits to North Texas

      Hopefully after a few more years we will all be more accepting of heartbreak. I got used to it in high school.

      Yes, foolish us fans for thinking players are here in the program and loyal to the school.

      It's easier for us to say it's fun since we're not the ones who have to recruit an entire new team every year, but it's honestly exciting to see how the new team is built. The max exodi of beloved players sucks, but in this new age losing guys like TP, Drez, Rubin and Aaron doesn't have to mean a several-year rebuild. Now we can "retool" and even get better. I think this year was more of a gut punch because it felt to me and many others that Rubin and Aaron were Mean Green for life. They've been the constant leaders throughout the past turnover. But even healthy we weren't the most talented team in the conference. And I trust Hodge. The past seven years Grant and Hodge have run a clean program and as much as I love the guys who have played for us, I trust Hodge and Forte will continue recruiting players who will be good representatives of the university, even if only for a year. I also agree we need two more PF's - at least one who can space the floor shooting 3's. Assuming we have at least three scholarships left, so assume we'll see another guard. I'd like to see us bring on one guy who's averaged 18PPG or more. Doesn't matter which position though it'd be a nice changeup for it to be a high scoring big man.
