DaMarcus Smith kicked off team

Well, I sure hope we avoid injury. Damn.

Army of Dad · March 10, 2016

I didn't see where the story said he was kicked off the team. You have some additional/inside info?

jtm0097 · March 10, 2016

Littrell isn't messing around and I love it.

$10k Vito mentions DT in his update on this.

You're all gonna feel stupid when Sidway catches him doing squat thrusts in the athletic complex next week.

But how else will we know UNT has been looking for a QB ever since the Great All Time HOF Derek Thompson left the program after an astounding HOD Bowl MVP capped season?

Tyler Maryak · March 10, 2016

Damn...well I guess that'll quell the "what ifs"...

Aldo · March 10, 2016

Well that's that I guess.

On to Fine and Morris.

Means has to got to show something, or else I'm sure he'll be in the hot seat too. Shanbour's got to shine.

We got Chumley!!

Wow -- we went from "healthy competition in spring" to "Better hope that Morris kid is the real deals".

More good news coming from 1251 S. Bonnie Brae!

Means to outside WR maybe? He's got the size

Good one ;-)

Honestly, though, I really hope he makes the switch to TE (or receiver or whatever they're called on this team now) sooner rather than later.

Has he got the skill? He can run it, but he's still a little stiff. We've put a lot of QBs at receiver out there already. Grimm, Dillman, Hair-Griffin, Chumley one day, any others?

H-Back, and I agree, well that or DE. Still wish Dillman got a shot.

There is really nothing to do about this except handle it like a true zen master:

Who is going to compete with Morris for the stating job? Fine?

You know, I think there's a misconception that Chumley has a tight end frame. He's a lot more slender than people realize. I think in reality he's in the 220s. I would like to see him be the CUSA Kelvin Benjamin.

UNT90 · March 10, 2016

Very DW like.

Mac should have paid me to evaluate his QBs. I've done just a bit better than Chico...

Fine will be fine but he needs to redshirt this year. He won't be here until Fall. We needed to have two QB's split the reps in this spring so they could both learn the Littrell system etc. So this is a big blow. I'm guessing Means and Shanbour etc will split the reps now. You had to burn a year to get Smith going at QB and now you let him walk away right before Spring.

My only hope is that they have a walk-on who is enrolled, has played before and could offer them some depth.

MeanGreenTexan · March 10, 2016

I really wonder if Dillman is going to get a shot. No way you trot Fine out there as a true Freshman, even if Morris gets hurt.

foutsrouts · March 10, 2016

Why are we in such a hurry to convert QB's to other positions now that we've lost our only experienced QB? Fine is an obvious RS, so Littrell better find the best two guys out there, and fast.

Good point, although I think that if we don't get our walk on guy. I think that this propels Morris as the front runner for 2016. I seriously thought Smith would have a real shot at starting for this team. If this situation happened under Mac and Chico, I would probably have a heart attack right now. I'm actually confident Littrell has this QB situation under control, so far.

KB ain't slender, but I'd agree he could be high risk high reward. Watching Chumley in spring drills, he is physically imposing. He towered over Means, and he's not small at 6-4, 215.

He's a big athlete, just need to put him in the right spot.
