Cam Echols-Luper Grad Transfer

AustinFromUNT · July 7, 2017

Grad transferring from StAte. Bryce English made a tweet about picking him up and Luper retweeted it. Any idea if we have any schollies left to use to pick him up?

Ok, yet another example of proving nothing good happens after 2am.

I will assume he has glaucoma and any supposed mj use was strictly medicinal. Interesting that a "shake" was found in the car. Further investigation may be required to determine if it was caused by the munchies.

With his speed, and the fact he only has a year to play, I would vote for bringing him in for a year and reevaluate his status next year.

A spoonful of sewage ruins a barrel full of wine.

Pass.

Nice comparison indeed.

Green Crazy · July 8, 2017

Yeah, we wouldn't want him introducing the team to weed.

UNT86 · July 8, 2017

Keyshawn Johnson has it right.

Follow the rules. Period.

So speeding and marijuana, real bloodthirsty stuff there.

On a a serious note, as long as we can keep him away from Walmart we should be good.

If he is transferring then I would assume Littrell and staff have fully investigated everything. I must say I am surprised at the number of posters that are indifferent to the use of an illegal drug.

PWO, take it or leave it.. not going to burn a scholarship on a 1 year guy unless its a very notable player.

Exactly. Why can't he just underage drink like the rest of the kids in college that are taking an illegal drug?

Im hoping you mean surprised by not wanting him? Makes little sense otherwise.

The voters of Arkansas seem to think it shouldn't be an illegal drug, provided you have a doctor's recommendation.

I know and morphine is also available with a doctor's prescription. That doesn't make either legal for recreational use.

Alcohol isn't an illegal drugs.

It is when you are under 21.

Consuming it under the age of 21 doesn't make it an illegal drugs. The act of consumption under 21 is illegal.

BTG_Fan1 · July 9, 2017

Can we get back to the topic of the kid/player...

He has messed up yes, and again while its illegal things that he has done or taken it shouldn't overshadow him completely. He is a talented kid, but a knucklehead.

Offer him as a PWO, if he takes it great but if not no biggy. We offered the WR from AZState a PWO for him to play 1 year and he passed it on to go to UH. This WR corp isn't overflowing with talent, but its not bare either... The likes of Rico, Guyton, Smiley will carry the WRs with the likes of Lawerence, Griffin, Khan, Durhon, White, Darden. Factor in the TEs in Chumley and Smith and it will be a nice group of kids. I'm sure I overlooked some other kids at WR and TE as well.

CEL would likely just be a return man for us, and while we needed one last year and still do need one its not worth burning a scholarship for a 1 year guy.

Why does everyone assume this player would take a walk on offer? If he is good enough he will be offered a ship somewhere.

Ben Gooding · July 10, 2017

If it's weed, it's just weed. I can't imagine the % of CFB players that smoke weed. Not even going to try and speculate the amount, but if he's good enough and smoking weed is the only demon in his closet, he rates a scholarship. Of course, if he's good enough.

Harry · July 10, 2017

I agree if it's just weed let's cut some slack.

No ones assuming, just what I'd be comfortable with, given his issues and he'd count against our 25 this year, that's probably closer to 20 or less with Blue Shirts we brought in.

Let's bring him in to race Hair-Griffin. He wins, he gets a scholly. He loses, better luck next time.

Agreeing with what @GMG24 said that its just what are comfortable with and what has been offered to other Grad-Transfers that have had interest in UNT... The track record of him hurts, but what also hurts is that he is a 1 and done just like Morris and Hood....

With him counting against the 25 Scholarships to next years class that is what makes think we would offer him as a PWO. If he passes on it and goes to someone else that is fine. It saves one scholarship to next years class which has lost 4-5 scholarships. If he passes and goes else where in TX that is fine with me, just means 1 more talented kid will be available.
