Lettrell and his staff are proving to be very good recruiters. It may take a season, but his Mean Green teams will be very different from those of the Mac era.Donovan is ranked the 11th best center in the 2017 class, and Hoston turned down offers from Alabama and Nebraska.

North Texas added yet another vital piece to its 2016 recruiting class at the last minute Wednesday, just hours after picking up a key 2017 recruit early.

The first bit of good news for UNT came late Tuesday when College Station offensive lineman Josh Donovan announced that he had committed to play for the Mean Green.

What started out as a good week for UNT got even better Wednesday when Los Angeles Valley College defensive end Raveon Hoston signed with the Mean Green during a ceremony in California.

UNT defensive coordinator Mike Ekeler and defensive line coach Derrick LeBlanc recruited Hoston for months. The 6-4, 246-pound standout could be a key player who will make UNT’s transition to playing in a 3-3-5 alignment under a new coaching staff a smooth one.

“I made my mind up weeks ago about this decision,” Hoston said. “I am going to be a part of the new era at the University of North Texas.”

Hoston had offers from Memphis and Central Florida in the weeks leading up to national signing day in February. He returned to L.A. Valley for the spring semester and saw his stock soar.

More than a dozen schools offered Hoston a scholarship late, including Alabama and Nebraska.

The North Texas fans are starting to get excited again. Littrell seems to be pulling in the level of talent we expected McCarney to lure. RV is on his way out as our AD. Things are looking up for North Texas in DFW. It will probably take a season or two for Littrell to get all the pieces and build this team into a dangerous high octane offense, but when he does, many on this board will remember why North Texas was a good addition.

Best of luck holding on to him. A solid step in the right direction.

Nice to hear some good news concerning North Texas. We need all of our teams to be stronger, and this should help the Mean Green.

Yeah, you guys need some talent very badly.

Good to hear. No reason NT shouldn't be successful, new leadership is all you guys needed I think.

Just curious what you mean holding on to him....he was a JUCO so he signed a LOI

Believe me. Our fan base was very embarrassed by the Portland State game. Things are changing at UNT. RV is stepping down as AD, and there is supposed to be a shack up happening in our basketball coaching staff. The more I see what Littrell is doing with our program, the better I like him. I think we got a winner.

if these guys are so good, then what are they doing at NT?



























j/k, congrats Mean Green
