High school coaches at UNT

The saying "The gang's all here" appears as if it will take on new meaning at North Texas this week.

Approximately 75 high school coaches were at practice on Wednesday, the first day of the North Texas Clinic for high school football coaches. UNT head coach Todd Dodge said he expected the number to double to 150 today.

The coaches at the clinic watching practice might well out number the players working out.

The clinic is designed to teach high school coaches a new trick or two, but could really end up helping UNT more in the long run. UNT will be on the road recruiting players from high schools that had coaches at the clinic. There is little doubt those coaches will walk away with a good impression of UNT that they will pass along to their players.

UNT will also have an open house event for coaches on the 11th.

Dodge said after practice that high school coaches will be the lifeblood of his program.

If UNT's clinic is any indication, the Mean Green is off to a good start in making those coaches feel welcome.

I wonder how many of these high school coaches will come away from this with a totally new impression of UNT facilities? A lot of these coaches are under the impression we are still working with what we had in prior years and have no clue about the new AC and practice facilities. Even Todd Dodge said until he interviewed he didn't know how nice things were here and what we were still planning on building.

On another note, does anybody think we'd have 150 high school coaches come to learn the Dickey Draw???

This can have nothing but a positive effect on future recruiting.

One area that needs addressed ASAP for visitors is Bonnie Brae Road over by Eagle Point. It is easy to miss the turn off of Airport Road after you cross under the I-35 bridge and it's a ruggged two-lane road to the AC and new facilities. I know there are plans in the future to repave and make that part larger but it's in poor shape now. At a minimum they need a nice direction sign at the turnoff until the rest is fixed.

Being a native of Denton and understanding the timing of road work in town, this should be addressed during the middle of the second season of the new stadium and take up to three years to complete.

      Lambert? You mean that guy left his park ranger job to get back into the game? You better call Eric Morris. We are going to need his toughness on defense at LB.

      Any word on Buggs?

      This may be why he is in the portal. Maybe he was encouraged to enter the portal to open up a spot for a better player.

      You've heard of Hook 'em, Gig 'em, Wreck 'em, Sic'em, what about...

      Scrap'em is (or was) a thing. I remember in the late 90s there was some sort of Administration decision that "Scrap'em Eagles" would be our official battle cry. Probably only a few people were ever aware of it, but Talons got the memo.

      SB at Charlotte (5/3-5/24)

      It all comes down to this. The softball ladies are a game behind FAU and Charlotte for first place in the conference. The Mean Green already own the tiebreaker 2-1 with FAU, so winning two of three in Charlotte this weekend would also be huge in that it would give the ladies the tiebreaker over both teams in case there is a three-way tie at 19-8. The biggest reason to try to take two of three in Charlotte is that second and third place in the conference is the difference between having to win just two games in two days to make it to the NCAA Tournament, or four games in four days. We can't finish lower than third. Fourth place Tulsa is 3 games behind UNT, and we swept them earlier in the year. Tulsa plays at FAU this weekend. Charlotte will be a tough out. Last year by way of playing one fewer conference game due to a rainout, they finished with one loss fewer than UNT and won the regular season title. However, we took two of three at home to the 49ers before beating them again in the conference tournament. They still made it to the NCAA Tournament as an at-large. This year, Charlotte has taken 2 of 3 at USF and vs. Wichita State while sweeping the likes of UAB and Tulsa, and are on an 11-game win streak overall. Standings going into the final weekend. The conference tournament is May 8-11 in Wichita. If we make it to the final on Saturday at 11 am, be prepared to drop everything and head up to Kansas to support! SCHOOL CONF CPCT. OVERALL PCT.
