For info...this is the second year NT has had such around the state...5 or 6 sites last year....plus camp at the NT campus.

"We're looking to fill all positions across the board," said Dodge. "We'll sign a full class of 25 and plan on including three wide receivers, three offensive linemen, two quarterbacks, two running backs, five or so defensive backs and safeties, two linebackers and two or three defensive linemen."

Having camps like this just makes sense. I hope it continues.

I think these camps are great. We really need to overturn every stone and find those gems other schools may have overlooked. Plus it's a great opportunity to reach out to high school coaches and communities to really develop strong relationships, because it allows a coach to tell his players and parents, "North Texas is coming to town and there will be an opportunity to earn a FBS scholarship". It also creates an opportunity to get the North Texas name out there in areas of Texas where communities may not normally hear much about us. I'd like to see North Texas add camps in Oklahoma and Louisiana.

I hope the staff had scrappy playing UNT promo videos down at the town square, and the prospective players were drinking those "Mean Green" bottle waters when they left the camp. If North Texas is going to win new fans, this type of grassroots effort would be a great start.
