Who said he wanted to play close to Mesquite? (Hint: he didn't.) Did you even read the article?

Suspended indefinitely for violating team rules, then asked for his release...sounds like he's favoring A & M or UCLA.

Looks like he just added San Diego State.

Just read this story on dallasnews.com. Of the 17 mentioned, 15 are listed by name. Among them, SMU, New Mexico, Tulane and Northern Illinois. North Texas sure as hell better be one of the two not specifically listed. Not that we have a solid chance for consideration, but we should at least take advantage of the (seemingly) "open-door" opportunity to tell our story and initiate conversation for the future.

Final verdict is he won't be allowed to play this season. Not fact, just my opinion, but you can take it to the bank.

Former Skyline star receiver Carlos Strickland announces he is leaving Cal and will transfer to a school closer to home Hopefully, we're on the consideration list as we offered him out of high school: http://www.espn.com/college-sports/football/recruiting/player/_/id/169993/carlos-strickland

From what I understand, the NCAA has eliminated the hardship waiver that allowed players to immediately play at the new school. Instead, players must sit out a year, but may be granted an additional year of eligibility. Based on the above, there is absolutely zero chance Bryce English sees the field in 2016. I just wanted to post this because there seems to be some confusion still about his 2016 status, as evidenced in the article recently published on TexasFootball.com. And, again, in this initial story on the MGB: Football: UNT transfer follows father’s footsteps The above quotes are inaccurate, per the following: NCAA.org - Council recommends transfer policy change Sporting News - NCAA eliminates hardship waivers for transfers Tulsa had to deal with this last year: NCAA's elimination of hardship waivers devastating news for Khari Harding's family So, if anyone was hoping to have Bryce English this fall (I was), you can forget about it. I hope Bryce's father doing well in his battle against cancer.

Was it really a "game" now? Or was it just another spring practice that was open to the public?

The 50 most important college players in Texas in 2016 — No. 26: UNT’s Jeffrey Wilson This is the second UNT player to make this list. Considering the change and emphasis on the QB position in this offense, I'm guessing we'll have at least one more player, probably within the top 5.

The 50 most important college players in Texas in 2016 — No. 44: North Texas’ Bryce English This story is from April 29, so it may have been posted already (would be surprised if it hadn't) but nothing turned up in my search query. Looks like we still don't have word on the hardship waiver...I won't hold my breath on that, given our history.

Did I miss something? Why is this even a discussion? Morris is our starter unless the line can't protect him and he gets injured.

While I would prefer more of a traditional spring game, I understand the rationale. It is concerning that we don't have the personnel to hold a true scrimmage game, but my kids just want to go to hear the canon (the canon will still be a part of this practice, right?) and I'll be fine as long as beer is served.

Actually, I'm glad someone revived this thread because I forgot to mention that UNT had a table, decorated in green, at the North Texas Irish Festival in Fair Park a couple weeks ago. There wasn't much interest from what I could see, maybe it was the location...right across from "Sons of Confederate Soldiers" table, who were proudly displaying their confederate flag.

UNT = position coach pipeline for Utah State? Wonder if he'll pull as many area recruits as DD did?

USM? This reeks of RV cronyism. UNT90's response in 3, 2, 1...

LOL at that comparison.

I hadn't been on GMG.com or CNN.com all day today. I just checked CNN and I saw the headline, "166 TD passes, only 1 college offer." My first thought was please don't let this be about Fine, as I clicked on the link, cringing. Couldn't they wait just one more week to post this story? OK, now that I've actually read the article, it's quite favorable for both Fine and UNT. Rather than fear this national exposure will cause another school to steal our recruit, I'll be optimistic that this article will encourage other recruits to consider UNT.

Don't know a thing about Fine, so I won't knock him for his size. But, I certainly hope he isn't the only HS QB commitment for this class.

This is such as dumb annual debate. I take my kids to the parade just about every year and I, like others, wear Mean Green attire. I always hear a few "GO MEAN GREEN" yells. It just makes too much sense for UNT to have a float in this parade for it to ever become a reality. I mean everyone knows Notre Dame OWNS that parade, in DALLAS. And I disagree with the idea that putting Scrappy in the back of a truck (a green truck) with a few cheerleaders throwing out mini UNT footballs or green/white beads wouldn't accomplish our goal of having a successful presence at the parade. In fact, I thinks that's basically what the Notre Dame "float" is - I really can't remember anything other than the fact they were represented. This isn't the Rose Bowl parade - no one spends thousands of dollars and man hours building out a float every year.

Allen freshman transfers to Florida's IMG Academy; is this a sign of things to come in Texas high school football? I don't like where this is headed.

Anyone know how long Nick has had his twitter background picture set to a shot of LA from behind the Hollywood sign? https://twitter.com/nstarkel2

I found a baby pic Nick: I would love to see this "problem" play out. It would be the most competitive QB competition we've had in a long time, if not ever.

Completely understand your argument. However, I respectfully disagree that Starkel wouldn't have a legitimate chance to start as a true Freshman. "Handed the started the job" - no, hopefully those days are long gone. Unlike Morris and Kincade, Starkel lacks experience at the college level. But, neither Kincade nor Morris have started as a collegiate QB either. While ratings services aren't always reliable, they do serve as a decent guide by which to gauge talent. Starkel is ranked #15 in the NATION for "Pro-style QBs" in 2016 by Rivals. Morris was ranked #30 in the same category in 2012 and Kincade was ranked #26 in that same category in 2013. (Excuse me, but I will have re-read that paragraph numerous times…the thought of having THREE TOP 30 NATIONALLY-RANKED QBs at UNT at the same time is almost too much to believe. If I’m dreaming, please don’t wake me.) By comparison, Starkel would be our highest ranked QB and, apparently, he thinks he is as good or better than last year's #1 QB recruit or he wouldn't be considering UCLA. So why wouldn't he be able to beat out Morris and Kincade. -Gangrene
