Staying close to home was one Dylan McDorman’s priorities when it came time to decide where to continue his football career.

But it was more than just proximity that led the Wichita Falls Rider defensive tackle to commit to North Texas on Monday night.

McDorman also found a comfort zone was UNT’s new coaching staff and saw an opportunity to play early on for a head coach with a reputation as a defensive line guru in Dan McCarney.

“Denton’s an hour and 45 minutes on a bad day,” McDorman said. “I like the new coaching staff and coach McCarney. I like the way he talks and carries himself. Every time I saw him he shook my hand and was straight forward.”

Looks like a "good get" to me. We'll see him firm up after he gets in the weight room and I'm guessing he still has a little "growing room" on that frame. Nice to see the emphasis on the d-line here.

I don't think we have ever had this many verbal commitments this early on. The quality of these new guys rank slightly higher as well. This is just another indication that our program is on the right direction and these coaches will start to build something we have not had in many many years! That one thing I'm referring to is position depth! Very exciting! When a program starts to have depth at positions, is when a program has successesful seasons consistantly. Players can be rotated, are more fresh in the fourth quarter, players the following year can step right in after the elder graduates and can help the new Freshman when they come to NT.. Very exciting times here at NT and how can any one deny it. This was supposed to be a very hard year for us with little hope! Even if we didn't win another game this year, I already feel this program is on the right track. The coaches are going to do whatever it takes to make it happen, and make it happen sooner than later!

The other thing I forgot to mention was the positive reputation and experience this coaching staff has will only help our position to get onto a bigger conference later on. When we start winning consistently, which I feel is going to happen very soon, we will be invited to a a new conference, at least Conference USA. Our facilities are good enough now, our coaches are top notch, and attendance has been great. We are averaging around 20,000 at our last couple home games and we haven't had a winning season in many years. How could anyone not be excited about the future of Mean Green football and athletics?

      Head coach, not anymore

      I already know about him. Deion was on him all year for his lack of work ethic.

      Dig a little deeper and you will see that is not true. 5 star DB from last year has entered.

      The Athletic on DFW Football recruiting

      You'll see that you will enjoy your time and money a lot more. I quit about 2 years ago, when it became apparent that G5s were just minor leagues for the P5s. I knew it was coming, as I posted about this exact situation for years before on here. And there will be many others that are much higher up the foodchain than us who will see this happen to. I see the breakaway having 30-50 schools for their own athletics. Really, if the top 24 schools wanted to form their own setup, they could easily. Texas, A&M, OU, LSU, etc...they all have the eyeballs and the media and the legislative support from their states. I loved getting 6+ hours back on Saturdays in the fall. I loved using those funds towards family trips and better entertainment opportunities for all of us. like concerts and golf. To be honest, the time was better to get back than the money. More time with family and friends on the weekend, as well as more time for stuff with church and the community was the best surprise of all. I don't even blame players for getting theirs, either. More money and more exposure in the P5s that these guys grew up rooting for and dreaming of playing for all adds up to an easy decision for these guys. Basically, the players are catching up to what the coaches got to do without any qualms for years. Again, if we hadn't quit on the program back in the early 80's with the ridiculous drop down to i-aa when the SWC was one of the kings of the NCAA, it just nuked the program. You lost generations of fans and alumni from the past and the future, most of whom just picked up another school to root for or just become pro fans only, all while completely dropping the program's status with TX HS coaches and parents, maybe things would be different today, I'd like to guess at a minimum, we could have been a UH type program, maybe higher because of our location. Had we had any vision, the old Big Eight would have been the perfect conference to go all in to join instead of the SWC. We could have given that entire league a DFW presence, instead of just OU. And getting to play OU, Nebraska, Colorado, OSU, KU, KSU, Missouri, and ISU as conference mates in both football and hoops would have jumped us over ALL of the SWC privates. UH and Tech would've been peers instead of being steps above us as SWC members. But we didn't...we just gave up.

      Doesn't seem new, but unlimited transfers

      I applaud his effort to become innovative. Let's try something like this - corporate sponsors provide a pool of money that is made available based on performance in the league and all-conference teams. Graduating players would get their bonus in the year it happens, while players with remaining eligibility would get their bonus at the beginning of the following football season once school has started (which would mean that they are still enrolled in the same school where they performed and gained the all-conference honors). This would perhaps entice players not to bolt once they have success.

      I think it's pretty clear that Deion wants a revolving door of players every year. And his best players are staying, and at least some of those who entered the portal were encouraged to do so.
