If they aren't good enough to play at SMU they aren't good enough to play at UNT.

We ought to at least tell Florie, "God lives at UNT". Just a joke guys.....!! In a bad economy things get shuffled a little. How do we know they aren't good enough to play under Dodge's football plan. We don't have any, or maybe one I don't know, scholarships anyway but we could look couldn't we????

Could be a perfect replacement for Gilmore in a year. Who's to say? Give em' a shot.

SMU was as bad as we were last year, don't you think they would be holding on to these guys if they could play?

We've recruited enough DE's in the last 2 classes, as well as Kyle Russo playing well towards the end of the season that I say, let's give the guys we've already signed a shot. Also, we've signed enough DT recruits that Charlie Brown should be able to move back to DE, where some think he could do well. Plus think about this; we now have a football specific strength and conditioning coach helping those already on our roster, not to mention that the new DT coach can probably also help Rausch with the DE's.

Another thing, I don't think we have enough scholarships now that we could be offering them. Would we then end up pushing some of our guys aside to make room for some of these? It's bad enough that there's none left to offer the walkons (as far as I know). I have little doubt that this was shabby treatment by JJ and SMU at best. I say we shouldn't head in that direction by overpromising of scholarships, which apparently was a part of that whole process. Oh, and how does all that work in the APR calculations?

Walk on's for next year will normally get a ship for the spring semester following their enrollment... if they get one. They could grayshirt like Nick Leppo did this year at his expense for the fall semester...and ship for spring as one of our 22 of 09 schips.
