UNT is down to the bitter end in recruiting. There are just a few prospects left out there and only a few scholarships left for UNT to give out.

I mentioned that UNT was playing the waiting game with some key guys.

Here is the latest:

Sherman linebacker Kahlee Woods visited Texas Tech over the weekend, but left the school without a scholarship offer.

Woods said that UNT and Tech are the only schools he is considering. Colorado State and New Mexico are out of the picture.

This could come down to whether or not Louisiana linebacker Edward Williams commits to Texas Tech, Louisiana Tech or maybe even Tulane. Hes a nationally ranked prospect who was committed to Texas A&M before backing out.

If Williams commits to Texas Tech and he told Rivals.com he was leaning that way last week it seems unlikely that Tech would have a spot left for Woods.

I have to chime in and agree with you guys. Who cares if somebody else underestimates you? Make North Texas your home, and show everyone why you deserve to be a first choice. You can excel anywhere if given the chance, but opportunity is the key, and UNT fosters excellence rather than holding it back. If you come to Denton, you will be pushed to exceed even your own expectations, and you will surprise yourself along with everyone else with how much you accomplish and develop in every area, from the field to the weight room to the classroom and beyond. You won't be sorry.

No one asked my opinion but I prefer to sign 3-5 of the best Juco defensive linemen who have not qualified yet where other schools have backed away. Cross your fingers that 2 find a way to graduate in May. Yeah, they wouldn't have gone through spring ball but they should still help more by the middle of the seaon (conference) than a few fall back guys from high school. Tell these high school kids to walk on but stress that there is a very good chance they will end up on scholarship. Maybe not the proper thing to do but hell, we're trying to turn a bad football program around.

That brings up something that I was wondering about. If a player graduates but still has a year of eligibility left (i.e. Patrick Cobbs, etc. where they finished eligibility while pursuing graduate school), does that change the way the scholarships are allocated? What I mean is, as far as paperwork is concerned, are they just continuing seamlessly, or is their financial aid package cycled differently so that it frees up a scholarship in one area and takes up a scholarship in another? A player who redshirts their first season and graduates in 4 years gets an extra year if they enroll for a Master's degree, so are they treated as any other 4th-year player, or does their scholarship package fit into another classification, still a part of the overall maximum but possibly moving things around to free up something for another player? I know we still have a maximum per signing class, but if this is one of the areas where the classification shifts and others (walk-ons, etc) can shift with it, it might be interesting to know about. Yes, this is a nitty-gritty logistics question, but when you're trying to build things up using every detail possible, it's a thought worth considering if there's anything in the NCAA rules about it.

      Whatever visions they all have aren't gonna matter to any of the Big 30-40 teams or their networks. And whatever the history was for everyone but the huge powers in the CFB world flat out won't matter. Teams like BYU and Pitt are very likely to get relegated down, as will many others higher up the foodchain. The days of Vanderbilt, Mississippi State, Northwestern, Purdue, West Virginia, Rutgers, Iowa State, Syracuse, Wake Forest, Boston College, and Cal, as more examples, of being power teams are ending sooner rather than later. Teams like Tech, OSU, and Kansas State are all on the line of either being included or getting excluded down the road. I figure there are 40 power teams when its all said and done for football. Probably about 60 teams for basketball. And that'll be it.

      You make a good point. I still don’t like that he said it publicly though.

      The separation now from P4 to G5 is informal. The formal relegation of G5 to some lower tier is what I am against. We have played top level football schools in all of our football history, just not as conference members usually. Our first game ever was against TCU. The lineup you mention about would be great. But Smut, TCU, Baylor, and Houston have visions of staying in the top "power" tier or whatever fake name they assign it.

      All of this should happen, ASAP. The mistake you make about comparing 1-aa to G5s today is not true. We gave up in 1982 while the SWC and Big Eight were giants in the CFB world. Between 1981-1995, The SWC/Big Eight had Nebraska, Oklahoma, Colorado, Oklahoma State, Kansas, Kansas State, SMU, Texas, Arkansas, Texas A&M, and Houston have teams that would finish in the Top Ten. Meanwhile, in Denton, we were playing conference games against something called Northeast Louisiana, Stephen F. Austin, Sam Houston, McNeese State, and Nicholls State. Literally, whatever little support we had got nuked. Now today, playing schools in the same level of play like SMU, TCU, Baylor, Tulane, Tulsa, Houston, Rice, UTSA, UTEP, and Texas State would bring a lot more eyeballs to North Texas than anything we have ever seen in Denton. And then adding in the idea that we can legitimately play for a title in football, you'll get more interest tan UNT has ever had. If you ever think we should be playing Texas, A&M, OU, etc...in equal standing, you'll be sorely disappointing. Its just not gonna happen. EVER.
