Something about fat people look thinner in black. I could be mistaken.

Yeah, It's not the player(s). The system has created this. The players are just playing the hand they've been dealt. Reform has to take shape, it has to. All good. My mistake.

None of it is NIL in the way it was pitched and intended to be used. The system.is being abused abd the NCAA has no hold on this at all. If reform doesn't come to pass CFB will regress. It's not sustainable ans it's financially not worth it. 'So KiDs cAn bE cOmFoRtAbLe iN cOlLeGgE' with millions, or even hundreds of thousands. It's a joke. NIL is supposed to be jersey sales with actual names on the back, autograph signings, real authentic company sponsorships, appearances, etc etc. None of which is actually happening. It's just booster money being funneled into a slush fund and then delt out accordingly. It's pay for play, period.

I don't give a shit 1 way or the other. But we don't need upset police here. If someone is upset with him, eff it let them be. And let them voice it. Who cares. My issue is with the system. Not this 1 player.

I find it all bullshit. High school kids didn't get a 5th year. Pro players didn't get a frivolous year tacked to their contract. Yet, here we are pushing an extreme amount of power to the college players. The "covid" year, the wild west of transferability, and the NIL. It's all laughable. Remember the pro NIL people: "pLaYeRs sHoUlD bE aBlE tO mAkE mOnEy fOr aUtOgRaPh sIgNiNgS". Logical people said it would be a slippery slope. It wasn't even slippery or a slope. It was straight down to the pits of dirty pay for play at its inception. The toothpaste is out of the tube and I've had enough of it. The game will be ruined and less and less people will be interested. And it may sound like an old man yells at cloud argument, but I'm 35. The value isn't there. Simply put, these practical kids aren't worth it to me. Attendance will eventually putter and donations will dry because we know the money is going to line pockets of 18-22 year olds. My ego isn't fragile enough to pour money into this so I can go to the water cooler and tell work buddies how great my university is. In short time, many people will have this thought pattern. Example: the current fiasco at UF, with that QB. He agreed (or said he did) to 13 MILLION. UF was under the impression the agreement was "only" 9.5. Or they could "only" allott 9.5 towards him. A HS kid walking a HS hallway tomorrow took his ball and went home because he was "only" going to be pulling in 9.5 million dollars over 4 years, or say, 190 years of an average teacher pay in Texas. This kind of money isn't on UNTs level, but it's all relative. Clown World.

Yes. If you withdraw from your sport, kick rocks. Everything else is word soup.

Tampering is formal contact with a rostered player with a monied offer.

If he announces a destination within the next 24 hrs = tampering. What's the NCAA going to do about it?

Have we not offered him?

Uh, pretty sure there are no rules except for rule #1*. *Rule #1: There are no rules.

Ultimately, this is it. I like all of our guys. They're good players, some better than others. But, the "fit the mold" strategy of recruiting is code for we aren't recruiting well enough. Fix it.

I think I might try this approach. But it does help. Likes and retweets and stupid ass UNT gifs gives these social media types that dopamine fix.

Well, they're eating habachi in the IPF with a chef and there were 12 salad plates set. So, unless 5 or 6 coaches are eating with them there are more. But close this deal. All of em. I want them all to be graduating UNT alum in the future.

I like it. Future depth. Probable RS. Developmental kid. In this climate, a ton of HS kids are going to be developmental players. And that's OK. Get to work big fella. We'll need ya in 2025.

If Chandler is even close to a 70% completion guy in the AAC, we gone be real good. Our WRs will also improve tremendously as their route running will be way more crisp due to the trust in the QB.

This is the one for me. I think if we can do this we should win.

Of course others might because they're mentally weak and only care for themselves. Also, since we're talking about seats, whoever you are in section 118 row 3... I was observing this scenario from like row 9. A fella had someone in his seat (let us not forget about the thousands of open seats, 4 or 5 on row 3 to boot) and he beta moved it and got the usher to have the person removed while he lingered around in the shadows until they were gone to get his seat back. Advice: "Hey man, you're in my seat." Soft. Soft. Soft. Soft. Soft. Soft.

They didn't. Tylor was trying to get the ball but was being mauled by a face guard. Kudos to Kai for stepping up big time. I think Kai is supposed to be our slasher as others have stated. I think he can be that once his confidence is in full form.

Yeah, I'm of the mindset of going and getting studs wherever they may be. I'm also of the mindset of building recruiting much how you build a roster, from the inside - out. Go snag Dentons best kids if at all possible. Sway them and get em in the door. Then go get Prospers best, Mckinney, Frisco, Plano, Lewisville, etc etc. Make UNT the hometown hero brand if at all possible. And then when it's not possible go to beast Texas and filter through and get the best you possibly can. Then, go all over the country and land the best available kids. And do it relentlessly. But, gotta start at home 1st.

Decent crowd. Much like the FAU game. 24 and 22 for Tech are ballers. Can't claim to be a defensive team and this have that showing. Just enough to hang on. Hardly. Scott is a dude. He's so active around the rim and has a nice stroke when given opportunities. We gotta stop letting teams with physical guards bully ball iso our guards on crucial possessions. Rotate to help and leave the weak side shooter open, if they find him and he hits then so be it. That set lost us the game vs FAU and almost tonight. Nevertheless, hell of a game. Good time. GMG I also want to add when a team extends their defense to apply ball pressure you have to make them pay, not put on a little dribbler showcase. The spacing is ideal and the elbow cuts and baselines are exposed. Gotta attack and make em pay. That's all.
