Mean Green Signing Day Thread

[LittleMeanGreenMan]

Not complaining, all the first three fill voids. It will, however, be very nice someday when we can celebrate 3 and 4 stars rather than 2 star, with the occasional 3. Oh well. We will let MUTS and Troy land their 3 stars, screw them.

The blog is great though.

I think MUTS only has 1 3* this year

Yeah I double checked. One can'thelp forget their 4 star receiver from last year though. Troy's projected class is BCS caliber. Good for them. I don't put much stock into the "stars", but at this point in the game I suppose its all we have for comparisons. Time only tells a class.

Star Ratings mean so very little in the overall development of a college palyer. I trust that our coaches are doing the best they can to attract players who can help UNT win. I'll look at their "star ratings" after they complete their careers at UNT. Many All-Americans were originally walk-ons and "lower" star rated kids.

Playing at the college level is so very different than playing at the high school level that things can change for players overnight. Some can handle the transition better than others. Let's see how this calss turns out over time. Go get 'em UNT!

GO MEAN GREEN!

Bobby Burton of Rivals.com on KTCK this morning stated that UNT had some "nice" offensevine line recruits.

[Mean Green 93-98]

Does it seem like the faxes are coming in a little slower than in previous years? So far, we have Derek Thompson (QB), Kelvin Jackson (DT), De’Andre Stewart (S), and John Weber (DE).

So now we're having dedicated threads for every update?

Has anyone local to Denton seen this K/P from Lewisville ever?

Yes, this guy was a steal, he flew under radar due to his being trained by his brother, a NFL Punter Prospect, instead of running the "Kicking Camp" circuit. I do know that he was one of the top performers at the "Lone Star Kicking Challenge" which had many of the states and countries top kickers. Although he flew under the radar he was still a 2nd/3rd team All-State Punter and could have been the same on the kicking side but most times a kicker will not be awarded both positions. A&M was very high on him but wanted to delay a scholarship til Spring. Also had serious talks with Iowa State, Utah, Kansas, and many IAA & DII schools but most D1 programs wanted to wait to offer until Spring or after signing day when some scholarships came open due to de-commits. This kid will be able to step in as a freshman and should fill the shoes from last year.

Yeah... if we want to discuss the signings, that's fine. Just try not to devote an entire thread to just saying someone signed.

Ryan Boutwell – DE – 6-3 – 225 lbs. – China Spring HS

[Mean Green 93-98]

You do realize how big those shoes are, don't you?

At any rate, he sounds like a great recruit. Welcome aboard, Will!

Kyle White – DL – 6-2 – 318 Ibs. - New Orleans McDonogh

Big Pick Up!

BIG is right

[LittleMeanGreenMan]

Lambeau: You're angry at me for doing what you could have done; but ask yourself, Sean. Ask yourself if you want Will to feel that way, if you want him to feel like a failure.

Sean: Oh, you arrogant s&$*! That's why I don't come to the g.d. reunions, 'cause I can't stand that look in your eye. Ya know, that condescending, embarrassed look. You think I'm a failure. I know who I am, and I'm proud of what I do. I was a conscientious choice, I didn't f up! And you and your cronies think I'm some sort of pity case. You and your kiss-ass chorus following you around going, "The Fields Medal! The Fields Medal!" Why are you still so f'in afraid of failure?

[LittleMeanGreenMan]

Okay recruits. The offers from Austin and Norman aren't going to roll in, face the facts. Go ahead and send your fax to Denton. LET'S GET THIS MOVIN!!!

Please keep the offhand comments to a minimum in this thread, please. Minnie Driver, while certainly a terrific onscreen talent, does not have as much to do with North Texas football as perhaps she did in the past. Hijackings will be moderated.

Blog vamping just spewed a wonderful/ridiculous bit of specious reasoning. I love it!

[Censored by Laurie]

Hilbert Jackson in...is it wrong that I kinda wanted him to bail, nothing against the kid but there are a couple of kids waiting around (the Taylors from Mesquite) who I think would've been better options?

[Mean Green 93-98]

Hilbert Jackson - CB - 6-0 - 165 Ibs. - Rowlett HS

This statement is tongue-in-cheek . . . Right?

We just had our first signee of the secondary to help defend those vaunted passing offenses of the Sun Belt Conference.

[LittleMeanGreenMan]

Rivals shows him as committed to us.

As a "soft verbal." He's not truly committed until it's in ink.
