Mark Lewis didn’t start full-time for his high school team as a running back until his senior season.

What the Livonia (La.) High standout showed in that short time attracted the attention of college coaches from across the region, including those at North Texas.

Lewis visited UNT over the weekend and orally committed a short time later, largely because of what he heard about the progress the Mean Green made in its first season under head coach Dan McCarney.

UNT went 5-7 in its debut campaign under the former Iowa State head coach and hammered Middle Tennessee 59-7 in its last game. UNT had won just five games in its previous two seasons combined.

“I really like the facilities, the stadium and all that, but what I really liked is that the program is starting to turn around,” Lewis said. “They were one win from a bowl game. I feel like I can help the program take the next step.”

Seems like more of a LB/S to me. Not that fast for a RB. Based on his highlights, his level of competition was low. He's only 5-11 but he looked 6-4 in those videos. So that and the fact that it seems like he wants to play rb may have kept some people away. That and the fact he wasnt a rb until this season. Either way he looks like a good athlete, a good kid, and a good get.

      Unfortunately this comment by the head coach at UNT is going to appear defeatist and will do nothing to motivate students, fans or players. Wish it had been some other school’s head coach. Awful publicity for UNT.

      Morris didn't say anything that most of us haven't already said or felt. Quite frankly, what he said has been true for a lot longer than many of us want to admit. Our lack of commitment to athletics (whether you want to blame it on administration, students, alumni, or realistically all of the above) has set us back and has been an issue for years. It still hasn't changed, and it's going to continue to come back to bite us for years to come. There has to be a clear divide at some point, even though I would argue there's been a fuzzy divide for a long time. It's just a matter of time at this point that it becomes crystal clear. We are not going to be in the top tier of that divide. Our stakeholders (I use this broadly and there are clear exceptions) have made that choice over however many years now. It's just going to finally come to a head.

      If the basis for this is simply "not Power conference", then sure. The scholarship allotments suggest difference is level of play, though. I know NIL has negated a lot of that at the current P5/G5 level, but I would think that once you get past a certain point, outside the bubble of the P4, the impact of NIL could be watered down and you will still see scholarship limits play into the level of competition in front of you.

      After UAB swept us in the regular season, then proceeded to win more games we needed them to lose, and lose games we needed them to win, it's nice for ECU to put an end to their season. Hopefully we can win our fourth straight against the Pirates tomorrow.

      Seton Hall star Kadary Richmond enters transfer portal

      If her team doesn't win, her market value and name recognition will quickly decline. The team as a whole and coach make the value.
