It’s the end of May so I figured we should look around at how everyone is doing in recruiting so far for the upcoming class. How many guys do you have committed, who are you hoping to get, and who’s top 5/10 list have you made?
UNT currently has 2 commits
3*(.8004) QB Logan Holgerson (son of WVU Head Coach)
3*(.8466) RB Garrison Johnson
We made the top 10 for 1 player so far
3*(.8399) WR Khatib Lyles
We have 1 player who is VERY interested in us and I am 80% sure will commit to us
3*(.8316) QB Chase Griffin - basically is like Mason Fine. Insane numbers but lacks height.
How is your recruiting looking so far?

We just made the top 10 for 3*(.8527) OT Preston Wilson. We beat out 13 other schools to make the top 10:
Boston College - ACC
Houston - AAC
ULM - Sun Belt
New Mexico - MWC
New Mexico State - Independent
San Diego State - MWC
South Alabama - Sunbelt
Southern Miss - CUSA
Texas State - Sunbelt
UTSA - CUSA
Tulane - AAC
UAB - CUSA
Utah - PAC-12

The other teams in the top 10 are:
Texas Tech, Baylor, Northwestern, Arizona State, Boise State, Kansas, LA Tech, Oklahoma State, & Vanderbilt.

UNT just picked up a commitment from 3*(.8199) WR Damon Ward. We beat out ULM, New Mexico State, UTEP, & Southern Miss.

This is like tracking several companies' stock price and comparing who went up and who went down each day. A "commitment" means absolutely nothing to most HS football players today. In fact, a lot of them will commit to a school solely to get social media attention in hopes of getting a 'bigger program' to recruit and "steal" them away.
So who is "committed" or in someone's top 10 in May means virtually nothing until around December- 7 months later.

I think you may be surprised at how well our coaches hold on to commitments. We’ve only had 2 commits flip in the last 2 years, both were in our new coach’s first year.
