But it's not. It's usually based off of offer sheets. Which I personally value very much. It doesn't matter if they are teetering on a high 2-star or a lowly 3-star. It's safe to say that another FBS offer will propel a borderline 2-star into a 3-star as it should. We are getting upset that our 0 offer player or 2 offer player is jumping back and forth from 3 to 2 and 2 to 3. A 2 offer guy is usually a high 2-star player. So if he gets up to 3 stars, great. If he doesn't, he's where he probably belongs anyway. And thanks to @BillySee58 offer system that he put together, it makes it that much more reliable. Also, through the last 2 or 3 years @BillySee58 has been coming on here and dropping where the players in his system stack up after playing on the field and it's usually deadly accurate. It's splitting hairs, yes. But, this game thrives on the splitting of hairs. We need to have guys with 2-4 offers (which in his system is a B+ player I believe) littered throughout our classes. That is the way to build this thing. 

It's always scary when we are the only FBS school to offer.  Big question marks.

UTSA leads CUSA for now with 14 commits averaging 5.5 offers from other schools.  (most are FBS)  (no JUCOs)

At the moment, we're 5th in CUSA, but 11th of the 12 Texas FBS schools.   Recruiting has always been our Achilles heel.

Yes. These are the facts of the matter. We can try to rub elbows with these services to get us a boost all day long. But it's not going to get other FBS staffs to offer. When or if other FBS staffs start offering our commits, they will get their rightful boost faster than anything we can do. Simplest path of resistance with the system we as a fan base tries to argue with, is to win recruiting battles vs our peers on a semi-regular to regular basis. That is the recipe, or the bag of magic beans, or the sorcerers rock.

      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.
