Bound to happen. New coach comes in and has to fill a class quick. Probably offered earlier PT.

Man that's pretty low life to influence a kid like that. A HC in HS is a big advisory figure for these kids and this smells fishy

Traylor is a low life. Remember how he was SMU's interim head coach and then bailed on them before the bowl game because they wouldn't make him head coach.

Sir I would like an apology from your "in the face" comment on March 23rd. We are here around signing day, and I would like to talk about it.

And you are ok with this as the North Texas recruitment pitch? I’ll hang up and listen...

[ntmeangreen11]

Five days. Five days to flip a kid we have been recruiting for over a year.

Yikes.

So you want me to congratulate you for predicting that a NT commit would flip to another school after his coach’s brother unforeseeably was hired by a rival school after getting fired for being part of a shitty staff that lost to NT? 
 

No that isn’t going to happen.

Thanks, I’ll take it.

I hate to lose him, but right now he was the lowest ranked of the defensive ends that we were bringing in.

Nether recruit NT has lost are likely to be missed.

Both left because of connections to other school's coaching staffs. 

Both are going to conference mates with IMO a lot less to offer.  UTSA is way down in facilities.   The state of Florida has a lot going for it, and FAU has had a lot of success; but still little support. 

It is up to the NT coaching staff to just find better prospects.  It also opens up slots for potential transfers.  

UTSA and FAU are reaping the benefits of a coaching change.   If I were NT, I would look at the commits of these two schools and see if if there are any that NT might covet committed by the previous staff.    UTSA would be particularly vulnerable, but there are probably few on their list that NT would be interested in.

I dislike losing commits as much as everyone else, but these last two have pretty rational explanations, don’t they?

I mean Dempsey was here for 3 days and dipped. I have no clue why he committed here 

[DeepGreen]

Wait.  We just lost a commit to NutsaK.  Let that sink in.

There is no rationale at all for de-committing from North Texas to go to that glorified JUCO. This might be the clowniest decision I have ever seen but, we only want people that want to be here

[NorthTexasWeLove]

Pretty low life stuff, for sure. Kid is certainly not opposed to getting swindled and pimped in the name of nepotism.

I’m talking about the relationships and locations of the last two in particular. Kids can make bad decisions for explainable reasons. 

Edit: to the extent it’s even a bad decision. Maybe playing in FL was important to Dempsey. I believe someone said Ligon has a brother at UTSA. Maybe playing together is important enough to him to go to a lesser school. I don’t think these last two are an indictment of the health of our program.

Is Lee’s Traylor doing what is right for Ligon or for his brother?

Meh, that's how college football recruiting go.

You win some you lose some. Chill your cfb hangdangs in some ice water. 

Wake me up when we lose more than 1 meaningful recruit.
