He's a Very good athlete. Love to see us dipping on Oklahoma again. Hope we land him!

I agree. Ok st and OU only take a few out of their state a year. That leaves room for us to take out 2 or 3 quality guys a class out of Oklahoma.

The bigger the UNT brand gets the more we should be able to reach out of the state of Texas for recruits.

I hope to the football gods we get Trice on our staff if he doesn't get a shot in the nfl.

He sells the hell out of our school with a passion.

Stand out kid.

+1. And I assume/hope the staff respects and appreciates what he is doing as far as helping with recruiting. There's no room for ego trips getting in the way of getting the job done if somebody is "crossing over" into your job description. Too often in other areas I've seen things go south because somebody had a big head and wouldn't let anybody else step in and lend a hand. Doesn't seem to be a problem here since he seems to already be getting the freedom to do this, but it's definitely something to be aware of in the future if somebody tries to say, "Hey, let me handle this and stop stepping on my toes."

North Texas is in the driver's seat in the race to get a commitment from Tre Betts.

"They offered back in May," Betts said. "On July 26 I went to their camp and liked the atmosphere there. I had been liking North Texas since they first started recruiting me.

"Their coaching staff is old school, which would fit me well. I liked everything about the campus - the dorms and practice field. Also my family and friends won't have to travel far to watch me if I go to North Texas because I'll be right there."

Betts was a 3* athlete. He was rated higher than all three defensive backs that we have committed. I guess that we've also pulled 3* defensive backs Dominique Barnett and Nehemiah Wagner offers as well.

I can't second guess our coaching staff; they've looked at a lot of video and made their decision. I just hate it when talented recruits who really want to come here are denied while a perceivably lesser rated recruit is accepted.

We pulled the scholarship, it's unlikely that very many of our offers out to uncommitted players are still active unless they're defensive lineman.

I seriously doubt that we pulled the scholarship offer. This was likelier to have been a grayshirt offer and the kid found an FCS school that will offer him a scholarship immediately and probably an opportunity for a lot of playing time early in his career there.

Although I hate to ever lose any of our commitments, it sometimes is for the best for all involved. The kid may have pro football asperations and couldn't risk going somewhere that he may be burried on the depth chart for his first couple of seasons. The league has very little interest in players that are not the ideal height, weight, and speed unless they have proven themselves as multi-season starters.

You can't always rely on the recruiting services to be accurate.

Davis is a 3-star on 247, with an 84 grade (almost halfway to a 4-star) and a 3-star composite grade (an average grade between his ratings on all the major recruiting websites ESPN, rivals, scout, and 247).

Jones and Davis also have much better offer lists and I personally prefer their games. They're also cornerbacks where as Betts is a safety. Although Davis has the versatility to play either.

If he did leave because he didn't want to grayshirt, then he wouldn't have bought into Mac's system anyway. When your effectiveness as a unit includes giving a good chunk of the recruits a year of conditioning and practice to ensure they're ready for FBS play, you can't really just say, "Oh, you don't feel like doing the year of conditioning and practice? Well, okay, the recruiting service rated you high enough that we'll just skip it for you even though we really think you need it." Plus they wouldn't exactly hold him down if he was ready to go after the first year and was able to beat out the competition. So the big 1-A program wants you in tip-top shape before you see the field, and the FCS one is more willing to stick you on the field against lesser competition without the extra time to get ready. Which one seems to give you a better chance at success?

      How Mean Green softball is shaping up in 2025 and beyond

      In my relatively short time as a Mean Green fan, I don't think I've seen a team so carried by seniors. This weekend's series was the last three games at Lovelace for 10 Mean Green seniors, and all but one (Truitt) was either an everyday starter or saw significant playing time. Here's who will be returning barring any transfers. All classifications are what they will be in 2025. Likely starters (in my opinion) Rylee Nicholson (SR) - UT Cierra Simon (SR) - SS Madison Conley (SO) - UT Tatum Sparks (JR) - UT Elizabeth Moffitt (SO) - C Jodie Epperson (JR) - OF Returning Pitching Staff Skylar Savage (SR) Mackenzie Childers (JR) Kayleigh Smith (SO) Returning, but will they play? Mikaela Olguin (JR) - OF Emma Grahmann (SR) - IF Blayze McNemar (SO or RS-F?) - OF Maci George (SO or RS-F?) - IF There doesn't appear to be a website to find commits for softball, so through social media, here are the incoming freshmen I have found: Katy Brock, OF, Mabank Shelby Buffington, P, Franklin Page (Tennessee) Rylie Harris, C, Forney Gracie Mahoney, P, Macomb Dakota (Michigan) - another 6 footer, like Skylar Ausha Moore, IF, Carl Albert HS (Midwest City, OK) Taylor Platt, OF, Argyle Committed Inbound Freshmen for 2026 Eva Daniels, IF, Forney Laila Nobles, IF, Pearland Addie Perry, UT/C, Aledo Love the Metroplex talent we are bringing in. Forney's currently the #1 team in the state. But looks like we still have a handful of spots to fill next year. Going to need to improve the hitting and power. Maybe we can land some home run threats in the portal who want to get closer to home. I'll post stories and highlights of the commits shortly.

      Former Drake Guard Atin Wright commits to North Texas

      Hopefully after a few more years we will all be more accepting of heartbreak. I got used to it in high school.

      Yes, foolish us fans for thinking players are here in the program and loyal to the school.

      Former Drake Guard Atin Wright commits to North Texas

      It's easier for us to say it's fun since we're not the ones who have to recruit an entire new team every year, but it's honestly exciting to see how the new team is built. The max exodi of beloved players sucks, but in this new age losing guys like TP, Drez, Rubin and Aaron doesn't have to mean a several-year rebuild. Now we can "retool" and even get better. I think this year was more of a gut punch because it felt to me and many others that Rubin and Aaron were Mean Green for life. They've been the constant leaders throughout the past turnover. But even healthy we weren't the most talented team in the conference. And I trust Hodge. The past seven years Grant and Hodge have run a clean program and as much as I love the guys who have played for us, I trust Hodge and Forte will continue recruiting players who will be good representatives of the university, even if only for a year. I also agree we need two more PF's - at least one who can space the floor shooting 3's. Assuming we have at least three scholarships left, so assume we'll see another guard. I'd like to see us bring on one guy who's averaged 18PPG or more. Doesn't matter which position though it'd be a nice changeup for it to be a high scoring big man.

      The last home games of the 2023-24 school year

      Weather has become a factor in a lot of games this season. Wet spring has really made this softball season pleasant. Feel like we had several 90+ degree games last season.
