 There has to be red flags being raised all over the country with what is going on at FAU.   You have coaches with the questionable characters of Kiffin and Briles and then you start adding basically every player that has been kicked out of other universities.   I guess there's a new poster child for win at any cost

is he going to play receiver? he didn't impress me as much as the guy they just picked up from EMCC

[AustinFromUNT]

I would just like to point out that it wouldn't be UNT luck if we didn't draw them when they get good.

They'll be unsustainable.  Not too worried. Especially since they're in the east.  Besides, it's good for us if they DO wind up good.

So he is immediately (as in "this season") eligible?

He would miss most of the preseason practices, having only little time to get to the playbook. I feel this is unlikely to be the difference maker it looks to be at first glance. UNT plays them in week 8. It is more the role running that has me slightly worried.

Yes he is able to play game 1.

He was gunna play WR at Auburn anyway, not sure why he would leave.  But, he is playing WR at FAU, in Briles offense.  He's a grad transfer so he has this year to play.

Kiffin will waste that talent just like he did at USC and Tennessee. Dude is just a bad guy and a pretty mediocre coach when he doesn't have Pete Carroll or Nick Saban running things.

Kind of sounds like longest yard movie no?

FAU has made the conscious decision to win at whatever cost

They had to roll the dice.  They've been completely marginalized since Schnelly left.
