My least favorite thing about any college football forum is 40 year olds judging kids based off of their clothing/tweets/music choices/etc.

That says a lot about what this staff is having to overcome.  Great job.  So pleased to have Martin and now Bean.  Competition makes everyone better.

"North Texas a great fit for him," Lake Ridge coach Kirk Thor said. "I am really impressed with the coaches there and what they have done. I have talked to the staff more than I have the the staffs that were there the last 13 years. They are a high energy group."

Shows how outdated the previous staffs were and some of the  obstacles that this staff has had to overcome.

Don't post about the staff's inability to get kids with good offer lists, don't post long messages about what advantages/disadvantages we have/have to overcome, don't say anything along the lines of "I thought this staff couldn't recruit" which may egg on the other side of the argument and start a back and forth, etc.

Everyone is tired of it. Those posts will get deleted if the recruit's name is in the thread. Create a separate thread if you must, or better yet, post in one of those threads that already exist. 

Stay on topic. And if a thread is about a recruit, he is the topic.

1/7. 14.2% 

One of the stipulations to not doing this was to keep snarky comments to yourself, yeah? 

Needless to say, this is a good pickup. Welcome!

Kind of a relief that we beat La Tech out at a position they have been toasting us at.

Not to blast anyone, but that offer expired once LAT got their QB Allen (I believe his last name was)

On the positive side, I choose to think he was always going to commit to the Mean Green so it doesn't matter what happened at the other schools!!

Any other FBS offers on the table or was NT the lone ranger, again?

This is not an issue IMO, dude had offers from other FBS schools where they wanted him as their QB.  There is so much that goes into recruiting, alot of times schools that are smaller don't want to wait around for a QB so they offer out to 5-9 of them and if they get a kid who wants to commit that they like they'll take it rather than sitting around waiting and getting burned.  I have no problem with this pick up regardless of any offers being valid or not.

It doesn't matter if the offers were still valid or not. Schools offer 5 quarterbacks that they like. If they only want to sign one,  they take the first verbal commitment and string along the rest. It doesn't mean they didn't want the quarterbacks. He had legit offers from good schools. And, if he still wanted those other offers, I promise they would make room for him.

Looks like we are loading up at QB for the next go around....  That should be an interesting position in the near future......

Hopefully this year.

now do we roll with 2 kids at QB in the next class? because if so we are at 6 of 20 kids, but if one of them is a BS then we have another open scholarship. 

You have to keep on recruiting QBs because so many of those guy will leave the program instead of sitting behind a starter for a year or two.

I'm a proponent of always signing two or more QBs and DTs in every class.

Also of note, we have 2 QBs now committed to UTSA's 0.

Not sure why you egg them on in this category. They've been crushing us in recruiting since wilson got there. I'm all for picking winnable fights, not sure this is one lol.

We already knew that from yesterday.  Posted it in another thread.  He and Allen were offered within days of each other.  I wondered about that and Colorado State because yesterday morning, no one was listing La Tech or Colorado State as offers.

But, to me, it doesn't matter.  The point is, pulled offer or not, at one time or another, two coaches with very good track records of competing at the G5 level thought he was good enough.

To me, this is a different situation than Raveon Hoston having offers pulled by bigger programs.  Hoston was simply not getting the work done in the classroom; had already been to a JUCO, and that trend wasn't changing with him. 

Here, you've got a prep kid with his grades in order and excellent coaches on his trail.  Allen chose La Tech and that offer went away.  No big deal. 

The point is, Skip Holtz would have taken him or Allen.  You can't argue with what Holtz has done at the G5 level.  Ditto, Colorado State.  If they've got some inkling that another QB is going to commit to them and pulled his offer as a result, it doesn't take away from the fact that they still offered him. 

Colorado State's Mike Bobo is a great coach, and a former QB at a top program, Georgia.  The guy played and coached QBs in the SEC.  If he offers a kid a scholarship before he's played a down his senior year, that says something.

      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?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
