Carroll LB commits to UNT

[PhirePhilBennett]

The concern I have with that article is not so much with getting outrecruited for quality players but that at least 2 of those recruits are reputed academic risks. If NTSU becomes the warehouse for academic risks they could pose a big threat to SMU in the future as Dodge builds his program. I hope we don't have the next Fresno St. on our doorsteps. There are some other academic risks looking at NTSU also like Gilmer 3 star LB Dominique Buchanan who decommitted from Baylor. According to him he has visits to Michigan and North Texas-yeah right. He's an academic risk who might end in Denton because he has very few quality options. This is what NTSU has done in the past with guys like Jonas Buckles and booger Kennedy the kid who was not admitted to SMU.

UNT should be the Fresno State of texas...they could technically get anyone admitted there, and keep them in...

The problem is that the Faculty / Admin are hardly 'pro-sports'...

Dodge is going to go with who he knows, and trusts (his old players and opponents) when in doubt - he isn't detached yet. And why not? If you have a marginal Div1a prospect, but you've coached him and he will do whatever you said, take him over a guy you know nothing about - he will at least do what you tell him to do - you can trust him withi his abilities.

It really does. To this day, I still have people ask me........"SMU lost to NTS???????" I answer " yes, it was the most embarrassing loss ever" Then in shame, I walk away amidst all of the laughter. The good thing is, I think you'll have the 'Stangs attention at Ford next year.

Yes it does sting and we did lose, but if you want to have fun with NTSU folks, when they bring it up, ask them how many times 6 goes into 24 and while they ponder, trying to find the answer, you can just walk away.
