Jeff Wilson is special

[Harry]

Love watching this guy play.  Whoever the new coach is will be very glad to have this guy as a building block!

Agree! He is the real deal. Hope we can keep him.

How many of these players do we keep?  I feel betrayed by this team but still support the Green.  I am willing to go to bare bones and let the new coach build with hungry players who will wear our jersey with pride.

Most talented player on the team. Still sticking with that statement. Keep finding those under the radar kids out east.

Yes Wilson is special. He could develop into one of the best backs North Texas has ever had. Here are his stats...

Tonight vs. Marshall: 17 carries for 138 yards, with an average of 8.1 yards a carry. Plus 1 reception for 9 yards.

On the season: 59 carries for 351 yards, with an average of 5.9 yards a carry. Plus 3 receptions for 24 yards. Not bad for just 5 games.

Billy, don't think there's anyway you can justify that statement for anyone else.  Wilson is the real deal! He needs more swing passes or wheel routes cuz that cat can GO!

And he's only a sophomore! Can't wait to see him the next two years if the team around him is better!

Yeah, no doubt. Out east in Southwest Arkansas. ;)

Great parents...I love how the JWJr looks when he runs. Very traditional running style. And when he gets up, he looks for a ref to whom he hands the ball.

He had a great game. The O still has no identity. At this point I would like to see Smith under center and watch the team play to its strength, Jeff Wilson. Running a 1 tight with a roving h back also provides far more easier and efficient throws for an adjusting QB. Just my .02. 

[Mean Green Eagle]

He is a great RB for sure! Also like what I see when Ivery spells him. 

Would love to Wilson run wild down the stretch and hit 1,000 rushing yards on the season. 

[southsideguy]

i use to love immersion but he now seems to doing more dancing than running.

[KingDL1]

Jeff Wilson what is his classification?

Wilson is the brightest light on the team at the moment and there are not a lot.

I used to love watching Jimm Jimm run too, but Wilson is clearly the better talent right now.

He's a sophmore. 

Has 489 yards on the year. Needs 511 through the final 5 games to get to 1000. 102 yards per game to reach it. It's feasible.

So we have two more years for the new coach to build off this man!  I like what I am seeing.

351 seemed a little low to me. 511 is definitely doable, and I hope he can blow up for a 200-yarder or two in the final 5.

Halloween would be a nice time to get that 200.

I never knew how much I could miss the song "Happy Days Are Here Again."

it's encouraging, for sure. I don't think we are as bad as our record or more importantly our play has been. There are pieces here and there that a solid coach could come in and build with. I actually think the O will be VASTLY improved next year with Smith having coaches that know what they're doing actually developing him. The OL will come back in tact and the offensive cancer that has grown to be is graduating. 

Call me crazy, but I think we have a decent core on both O and D. A good coach can give these guys a reason to fight again. Dan Mccarney was a motivation killer. They were numb to his monotone same ol same ol bullshit.

First class young man.....comes from a fine family.....we are blessed to have him and pray we can keep him.

He is a huge, huge reason why I'm frustrated at the thought of RV making the next hire. I don't want to see these next two years be wasted. I truly believe Wilson could rush for 2000 yards in a season if he could stay healthy and we had an offense that best utilized his strengths.

[MeanGreenZen]

Wilson is great, but I don't remember Cobbs, Jamario or Dunbar getting caught from behind as much as Wilson does. His speed is what will keep him from being super elite. 2,000 yards? No, but a good building block for the next coach.

hilarious.   If those moves were superimposed to make it look like he was crossing a sidewalkless street at the same time...pure perfection.

With a little more blocking I think we will see an improvement.
