Just rewatched the Rice game highlight. I'm not saying Fine is lighting up the stats shit. But he is managing the game well and minimizing mistakes. He is also showing unbelievable leadership, pose, toughness and charisma. And he is showing all this with just being in Denton a little over 2 months. It is exciting to think what the product will look like when he has a full offseasom under his belt with Graham and Seth. Fun times are ahead of us in New Denton i believe

Agree. But the coaching staff should be looking for a top notch backup or two in the next recruiting class.  Find another Fine.

There's a Mr. Cade Pearson that would like a word with you. He looks pretty damn good and seems to be fairly overlooked

Hope we sign him but he's not on campus yet.  Long way to go until signing day.

With the continued success of Fine and the continued praise from the coaches, will this limit our prospects for Qbs in the next class? One of our biggest selling points is you can be a starter now! Houston has been unreal on how they continue to bring in talented qbs! GMG

I think that "QBs have great success under this coaching staff" is a better selling point to most of these kids. Typically, they are competitive and believe they can win the starting job.

Fine will  fine this season and then for the next 3 years. 

Hey folks, he's only played most of 4 games at the NCAA D1 level & I haven't seen anything that makes me think he will go backwards with his progress.                                        

He's a gamer & one that has played a part in re-sparking the interest in a football season that some on this board thought would be a win'less football season.   

He stuck with his commitment to North Texas when he could have bailed with a preferred W.O. situation at OU & OSU who reportedly made last minute efforts to change his mind. Those 2 schools were given a nice tip from someone who said they should get him on both their respective campuses.    How many kids have we seen change their minds in recruiting wars the last umpteen years who could have made a huge difference in our W/L records ?    Mason Fine stuck with us--we should stick with him.

GMG!

Can't wait to see cade on campus.   The Pearson / Fine combo would be potentially the best qb situation we've had in my time as a fan.  

The last one I can think of was Hall/Smith that I got excited about.

Well considering he is our recruiting expert and we've offered him I'd assume the staff is going after him pretty hard. After next year our QB cupboard is bare. Shanbour gone, Means converted, O'hara gone, Morris gone, Chumley coverted. As of right now the only other QB we have past 2017 besides Fine (and he's not a guarantee as a PWO) is Mitch Cason

I wouldn't be surprised to see this staff try to get 2 QB's this class

Just from talking to people involved in situation. And with Robbie he seems very interested with the program and the staff. Idk about Seth and his interest level at all. But he has never  really seemed that interested to me. I have been wrong before. But if i was a betting man I always thought our two best chances for QB have been Cade Pearson and Robbie Blosser.

Through 5 games (via MaxPreps and @UNTLifer). Pearson has nearly matched his totals from last year.

Pearson 75 118 63.6% 1237 10.48 15 247.4
Blosser 84 121 69.4% 1512 12.50 23 302.4

Blosser school is quite a bit smaller that Pearson. its almost a 1/4 of the size. I believe it actually smaller school than Mason Fines. i believe that could be hurting his recrui

I'm from Texas High. It's certainly big; Texarkana big. But definitely not DFW suburbs big.

I was referring to Robbie school being small Salesian High School in Cali has 525 kids. Texas High has 1,891 kids.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      Some of you think these professional athletes have to go to classes?

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?
