You’re definitely right and I’m definitely hopeful. However, there has to be a reason they got there. So far, I like the bounce back of securing a transfer U Minnesota RB that seems to be our RB1. We’ve added depth pieces at WR and TE. Now we just need the keys to what runs the whole thing…a qb.

OL from TTU, TCU, VT, SFA. And, these boys look like they’ve got some size we need. I’m assuming they can play a little bit since they’re from P5 schools (except SFA). Hoping the OL play will be even better than last year.

Gonna catch a little HS playoffs

I’ll take after the holidays weight of 255, Alex.

Hopefully not at 230

Great news! But, has he been allowed to practice with the team?

Cal = P5 UNT?

Perhaps he learned a long time ago when Morris selected Stone over him to begin the season.

What is our offensive system? Could someone shine a light on that for me?

That’s why I started with “maybe”. And, you’re right. The smoke hasn’t cleared yet. We are only at the first week of the portal, so there’s still some time.

Correct

Maybe his NIL price tag is a bit higher than what UNT wants to/can offer. Or, maybe they have a group of QBs in their cross hairs they’re keen on signing…if their price is affordable. We’ve been relegated to crumbs under the table. That hurts

Exactly! Second tier P5s won’t have a chance against the big boys of college football and their unlimited resources. They won’t be able to buy championships, so it’ll just be a matter of time for them to start griping also.

My thoughts at the moment as well. We’ve seen many flip their decisions. Kids are fickle at this stage. Once their names are out there, programs with the financial resources will surely be waiting to throw money as the window closes. Maybe he’s here for what was being mentioned in another post…rebuilding his stock by gaining playing time to increase his NIL value as a graduate transfer.

Morris is an air raid coach. His system is void without a good qb. Only way we can win is to score points with the kind of defense we have. I know defense wins championships, but we’re a whole lot further from a championship style defense than a championship style offense

Or is it?

How about the NCAA limiting the NIL opportunities to about 30-35 students as if they were scholarship bonuses. That way, smaller programs won’t lose players simply as depth pieces for “rich” programs.

Now, could it be possible these kids are simply testing the market to find their value since they can’t hire agents? I know it’s highly unlikely, but in this day and age of NIL, there could be an agreement between the coaches/university and player. If the $$$ isn’t what they think, they can return. I see this as a way to entice younger, hopefully talented players, to still commit here, showcase themselves by playing a lot in a good, competitive G5 conference. We may not be able to keep everyone, but at least we may still have that window of opportunity before another group leaves.

I feel there’s no head to the snake right now. We’re competing, but can’t finish. If only we could see this team with our TCU transfer pg at the helm (sorry…forgot his name). Maybe he wouldn’t make that much of a difference, but it shifts everyone down a spot for depth. We wouldn’t have Ruben and CJ TRY to run the offense, but look for their offense instead.

Snag a good qb and things will start moving

Bottom line, the NCAA only cares about their cash cows. They don’t give a $hit about UNT and the likes…hence, the rules that allows these power conferences to be even better. Unfortunately, we’re the ones playing checkers while they’re playing chess.

Very interesting outlook. Accepting what comes…lemons into lemonade. Hats off to you!

Play him at MLB and call it a day

Still small and slow

Took his money then ran
