Transfers - What Percent Should We Target
NorthTexasWeLove replied to El Paso Eagle's topic in Mean Green Football
I see what you're saying. I don't think UNT has utilized all of their tools to be as successful as they possibly can be, namely the transfer portal. And I think that's why it's frustrating. Littrell didn't. And it appears, again the staffing hires we have made, Morris doesn't plan to. And I think it's a short-sighted terrible idea, and extremely frustrating. -
SMU only had 500 more people

Good luck with your surgery. #GMG -
Transfers - What Percent Should We Target
NorthTexasWeLove replied to El Paso Eagle's topic in Mean Green Football
Yes. But if we are trying to elevate our HS recruit that we land, which I think given the staffing hires is the plan? You can agree with that? Then, attrition will naturally increase? Also, how transferring is becoming as common as breathing oxygen, and not just transferring but successful transfer projects, it will also naturally occur even more? I think those are safe assumptions? Do you agree? -
A few things about Boise. 1st: They have lost some of their luster and high level G5 success, mainly due to other peer programs rising up. 2. They also played way out of their class on Saturday. 3. Make no mistake, we should emulate them, too. But we did take our .500 football team into a bowl game with them last year with a neon yellow wearing former retiree and only lost by 3. And they swept their conference slate, and lost in the MWC champ game.

Yeah, taking a 58-35 ass whippin would've felt much better <sarcasm>

Yeah, and I can see that as reality if he was at a program that had non-stop waves coming in from rival fans. It's us pissed, laughing in nervousness, concerned, and questioning it. No one else cares. So, once I realized that I knew this was 100% at fans. -
Transfers - What Percent Should We Target
NorthTexasWeLove replied to El Paso Eagle's topic in Mean Green Football
It is true. Since the portal rules have been established our top players flirt with the idea of it or do it. OL to Vandy TE to Arkansas Corner to Ole Miss 2 DE to UCLA Corner to UCLA 2 TE to Cal RB to SMU Corner to SMU WR to Hawaii (not sure if rule change had happened yet) WR to Auburn LB to Auburn LB almost to ATM And these aren't just JAGs, these were major contributors, and many starters. Teams are clearly scouring some of our most productive players and snagging them. Pleasant surprises have been the RB corp, Mose, and Texada (And he came on late last year, I'll be surprised if he's still here next yr if he plays well). Tip of the hat to Cobbs on keeping that group together. -
Transfers - What Percent Should We Target
NorthTexasWeLove replied to El Paso Eagle's topic in Mean Green Football
That's only because we aren't recruiting (or playing well enough) well enough for our players to be plucked away at a high level. The new staff has been hired to recruit HS kids. Great. Go recruit them. If we start getting ballers like this staff is clearly banking on, our attrition will inevitably increase. -
Transfers - What Percent Should We Target
NorthTexasWeLove replied to El Paso Eagle's topic in Mean Green Football
I hate to pass on that, too. There is a problem nowadays landing HS kids that turn into ballers: 1. We develop them, and while they're not even hitting max potential yet.. 2. They leave As wild as the transfer rule is, it's still a 1 time deal, unless they are willing to sit for a year as a 2x transfer. We start landing ballers from the portal, they're basically locked in and we're ready to go. -
Our AD made a MASSIVE mistake with this HC hire
NorthTexasWeLove replied to Travis's topic in Mean Green Football
Seth Littrell certainly did not lower this program. He definitely elevated it. Give credit where it is due. Eric Morris was hired to stop the beatings (failing at that so far) and win bowl games, while competing for conference championships.- 105 replies

I don't think there's a %. It's more complicated than that. If I had about 2 hours of uninterrupted time, I could paint a picture. -
Of course hes cherry picking. That's who we should be emulating.

Precisely.

How can you say morris isn't wasting talent? I can say he's wasting our OL talent, running back talent, and Mazins talent...off the top.

NorthTexasWeLove replied to Travis's topic in Mean Green Football
A few times on the broadcast it would pan over to the UNT sideline and Morris is a small guy and he would sort of back peddle or sink into sideline crowd with much larger people all around him. It reminded me of this... -
To a degree is doesn't matter, sure. I can agree with some of that. But these missed tackles weren't TFLs or stuffs, they were often 4-5-6-7 yards before square contact... that's scheme. And we'll continue to see it, imo.

This Honeymoon just got shorter
NorthTexasWeLove replied to TheColonyEagle's topic in Mean Green Football
Sure, they do. They handcuffed to both Benford and Littrell for 2 years too long. That's trying to sail rough waters into affordability. One thing is clear... this new athletic administration and coaching staff has suddenly started to slowly develop an Us vs Them type of barrier for really no good reason outside of feelings. -
I really hope you're right about conference play. It's difficult to envision after yesterday, but I hope you're into something

Yes. Dumb and short-sighted. -
We seemed to score the only Australian from the entire continent that can't kick. What are the odds?

NorthTexasWeLove replied to NorthTexasWeLove's topic in Mean Green Football
It's typical UNT stuff. I don't know what it is, but people feel untouchable when they are employed by UNT. It's amazing. Like if you're an ops guy and your regional brings you in because your affairs are -17% this quarter are you going to stare that person down and say 'commit to me, I keep receipts.' They all live in fantasy land..- 171 replies
