No one that I know is throwing in the towel on Fine. It's more that his injury coupled with the lack of experience on the o-line makes the backup QB position very critical to continuing the upward trend in football. Look how important Alec was last season.

Yes all transfers. It is not spoken about much but typically in this conference the best teams are the ones who land the best transfer players in my opinion and it gives them an advantage. For example QB Jeff Driscoll at La Tech transferred from Florida. I also think this is a year in which we could use an insurance policy.

LA Tech wanted it more than our kids,” Kee said. ------- Why exactly is that Coach Kee?

Cause whoever did has the best shot of winning the conference and having a successful season. Will it be the standard of La. Tech, WKU...? Who wins the battle?

I know the indoor practice facility (IPF) is a high priority and there is a list of other brick and mortar types of expenditures after that. Stumbled across an interesting article from Kirk Bohls which quoted the AD at Baylor in regards to where the p5 investment dollars seem to be flowing. Hint: it's not for $10K lockers... Seems to me that one of UNT's biggest natural strength are our numbers of alumni and grads. The easiest and cheapest way to engage them would be through social media which is basically free. We have an outstanding RTF/Graphic Design program and tons of talented students who would love to get work experience. Perhaps, we should start looking at this as a higher priority than we have in the past.

Excited to see this kid play.

Thanks for posting!

very cool!

Good work @thereal_jd If they want him to transfer my sense is he can play or at least has some potential. Not a bad thing to have him sit out a year and get acclimated to the big city.

Coming out of your time at JUCO, you were rated as a 3 star by 247, can you take us through your recruiting process, and how you ended up choosing North Texas? At first, I was being recruited by a couple of other schools, and I was seriously considering some of them; North Texas wasn’t really even on my radar. But when I talked to Coach Patrick , I really started to like them. He was their recruiting coordinator, but he almost felt like an Uncle to me. I could really tell that he wanted the best for me as a person. Along with loving him and the staff it also helped that it was down South, I like the sun more than the snow, so it being in Texas was a huge plus for me. It was your first year at North Texas, and in your second game you were playing against the Tennessee Volunteers, what was it like going from Juco to playing an SEC team? Honestly, it was a crazy experience. Playing in High School and at Junior College you see all the power five teams playing on TV, so to actually be there playing against one was amazing. The game was in Tennessee and I remember just walking out for pre-game warmups, me and my friends took a couple laps around the field to take it all in. It was mind blowing to me. It was a really great feeling because it finally felt like I made it, it finally felt like I was playing Division One football. The place was packed, and overall, the whole experience was awesome. You’re 6’3, 258 Lbs, you have a good frame; How do you try to use your size to your advantage? In my first year at North Texas we ran a 4-3 and going into my second year we moved to a 3-4, so the coaches asked me to slide inside to a 3-4 DE which made me a relatively small player. Using my size I try to stun the offensive lineman, because I wasn’t very big for where I was lining up, I’m not 6’6 280 like some of these other 3-4 DE’s. So, I try to use my power and my quickness to my advantage. Also, in film I tried to find little advantages where I could make up for being a little smaller. On your Twitter you list yourself as a DE/OLB, and this year you were playing at the 3-4 DE, are you comfortable at all those spots and is there one you prefer? I’m comfortable at any position, wherever a team would have me. But ideally, I would play as a 3-4 OLB or as a 4-3 DE, or even a linebacker in a 4-3 coming off of the edge sometimes, because my specialty comes in my pass rushing ability. I know I only got a couple sacks last year, and playing the 3-4 DE I don’t want to say “limits” you, but racking up sacks is much harder, especially when you have linebackers rushing off of the edge and you’re going from the interior. But I learned that you gotta be selfless, do what’s best for the team, and do your job to win the game. To sum it up I would like to be used almost like a Von Miller, coming off the edge, being able to use my speed and finesse abilities to rush the Quarterback.

This discussion went in another subject direction and has been moved to The Eagles Nest.

My sources indicate he is really talented. We will see. The Jorden Duffy video makes me think he may be at the top but I also like the Tope Arikawe pickup for the paint. Losing Combs sort of throws things up in the air but I will say we have landed some talent. McCasland and his staff seem like they know what the hell they are doing. But they owe Benford because they did inherit some young talent. Lawson is the new star of the team and man did Benford hit on him big time. Woolridge can play. Can Fuller get healthy and finally contribute? Can Temara continue to improve or has he hit his ceiling? It is basically a whole new team.

He is a scoring machine but he doesn't appear to be selfish as he had some nice assists. Great shooting touch. Also for a 6-1 guy he can really get off the ground. I don't see how you can leave this guy on the bench. Exciting stuff.

Big time scorer. Impressive video. Looks like he has overcome a lot to get to this point. http://www.delmarvanow.com/story/sports/high-school/2015/08/22/duffy-signs-san-jacinto/32205223/ Wow - 3rd team Juco All American! http://njcaa.org/sports/mbkb/2016-17/div1/all-americans/index
