Mean Green

I came across a couple of recruiting tidbits that I thought I would pass along tonight.

Andrew Russell, a center from Richardson who attended a UNT camp, has committed to Louisiana-Monroe. Russell did not have an offer from UNT, but was offered by UNLV. Several other schools in Texas had shown interest, including Baylor, SMU and UTEP. The Warhawks have quietly picked up five commitments from some pretty solid players.

One recruit UNT has offered is Sean Warren, a defensive tackle from Blinn Community College. Warren told Scout.com that he would not commit early. He is going to wait and see what offers come along during and after the season. Warren didn't have to wait long. Rivals.com is reporting that UAB has offered.

I pulled the drive-by late this morning to take a look at what was going on at UNT's camp for seniors.

The players were all in UNT green or white jerseys with numbers, so there was no way to tell who was who. There were several dozen players there, including a large group of linemen. UNT really needs to land a few at this point.

UNT's lone recruit thus far, wide receiver Daniel Mayberry, attended the Mean Green's first camp.

The way this usually works is players meet with UNT's coaches after the end of the workout. Several of the players on hand have probably been in contact with UNT for quite a while. A few could receive offers before they leave if UNT's coaches had their minds made up heading into the workout.

The coaches will also meet to discuss players and could offer more who attended sometime in the next few days. They could offer a few tonight.

If UNT lands a player, the news will leak to someone, typically a recruiting service that has been covering the player's recruitment or a local media member who already has a relationship with him.

Either way, I would expect some news -- either on offers or new recruits -- in the next day or so.
