I think you're right. I wasn't there but I was thinking I saw someone post that on here at some point.

The old staff's biggest problem was the inability to win recruiting battles. Not too far behind that was Mccarney's insistence on getting players with ideal height and weight. If you want a player with ideal height but you can't win recruiting battles, you're setting yourself up for disaster. Then you settle for players with good size who know one wants, which usually means they are not good football players.

I doubt Seth pulled scholarships. I thought I had seen somewhere where Tony Johnson said he wasn't coming back or something. Sometimes players just don't want to play their last season if they aren't going to play and they already have their degrees.

Didn't even complete 50% of his passes as a senior. That's rough for an FBS commit.

Buyers is back on the roster. I feel like someone just accidentally took him off because he was a senior and they forgot he redshirted last year.

Good stuff, as always. Thank you

What did he say? He shouldn't have needed a waiver. He had yet to use his redshirt. Hope we get him back somehow.

Shoutout to NT03 for the heads up, but there was a roster update. Basically all the changes made were seniors and a few other players removed. No position changes, number changes, or additions (i.e. still no Morris, English, mid-term signees, etc). Of note is no Greer, no punter Blake Macek, and no deepsnapper Tony Johnson. All three had a year of eligibility left, and were on scholarship. Also D'aundrey Bradley has not been added back yet.

351

I'd have to think this is well on pace to be the worst year ever for CUSA, RPI wise. Right, @TheTastyGreek?

Darn. I was really looking forward to watching her play here. She could score.

I don't know about 90's incessant complaining about RV, but this is why I'm so upset that he's been allowed to make so many bad hires and keep his job for so long. Since he hired Dodge we're 31-78. First he hired a high school coach but, most importantly, let him bring in his high school staff when he shouldn't have, then everyone freaks out and blamed it on Dodge being a high school coach and inexperienced. So he hires a coach with experience, which when you do at North Texas usually means that coach lost his last head coaching gig (true in this case). So we bring him in and he wants to run an offense that non-AQ/G5 teams haven't made any noise with in recent history, and he's so out of touch with recruits that he signs a bunch of kids no other FBS teams want and we end up basically the worst FBS team at 1-11. Now it looks like major change is imminent and any chance of "being the next Boise State" is really waning.

For all intents and purposes, it really isn't over until the visits start taking place. I don't know if the coaches have any in-home visits lined up tomorrow, but I'm hoping we have a busy weekend at Apogee coming up

He should. We added him to the list.

Oh yeah? That's on wiki? Well Canales went 2-3 and 1-6 so 9 losses. It was a correction made in jest, as if it matters.

31-78 including Canales

To my knowledge you can back count up to 25 spots, but of course that would be if you signed 0 kids the class before. However many we're short we'll get that many next class. At least I thought. Certainly seen teams do more than 3, that's just the number I use in examples.

With about 17-18 spots left, that's up to 6 commits a week if we want a full class. Should be fun from here on out

What you said was he would never play under Sumlin because he likes improvisers. That's what you said. You did not say his offense only thrives with improvisers. You said "If Kevin Sumlin is the head coach at ATM he will never start." You are seriously the only person who will argue that you said something else that is literally on the same page of the thread. This kid has a chance to be the only QB in the class for A&M. After he redshirts the only scholarship QB older than him will be Jake Hubenak. Whether Sumlin is gone or not, that's a very good situation to be in. And again, regardless of what you think of results, Sumlin has shown that he does play more traditional pocket passer QBs, so if he doesn't play under Sumlin it'll be because someone beat him out. He could go after a dual-threat QB but he is choosing to go after Starkel.

3rd. Always first Wednesday in February. Maybe you knew that, but in case you didn't

I think we have to go after someone else as well. Debiase, someone else, we need to have someone committed already by the time this kid makes his announcement. That is if he is still uncommitted come his decision day of Feb 2nd.

Here's his thread

UTSA in trouble

That's why I stick to the literal meaning of the words he uses.

That's a true statement, but that's not what Ben was saying. He said Starkel will never start at A&M because Sumlin needs an athlete who improvises at QB. Sumlin is giving this kid a chance to be the only QB in this class, with the QBs from the prior thee classes all having transferred out. It's obvious Sumlin wants him in a key spot, and not just to never give him a chance to play because he isn't a Manziel-type QB.
