Noticed HP was playing right now and it prompted me to look up John Stephen’s recruiting page. No offers? I know he’s a small QB but he’s been lighting it up this year. 

I know we already have more than enough QB commits and the Jones’ have deep Arkansas roots, but I wouldn’t be opposed to trying to get the kid on campus. If nothing else, a nice tie in to the Jones’ as future donors

We don’t need to offer a scholarship to a dude based on ‘hope’ that a financial windfall comes.

If you haven’t been paying attention, Jerry doesn’t just hand out money.  This dude would have to start rather quickly in order to have any possibility of Jerry’s $$.

No...nope...uh uh. 

 

Don’t need that circus or the calls to let his start because grandpa wants to see him play locally.  

I’d rather give out schollys to kids who deserve them based on talent and not their surname

He's going to PWO anywhere he wants. Even if he was a legit 5 star QB, the Jones will easily pay his way because it would mean more talent on scholarship at another position. Probably for his best WR from his HS. Anything to keep the Jones happy.

Uh....You offer this kid if there is even a smidgen of interest. See what Jerry has done for U of Arkansas? This kid is in line to inherit the Dallas Cowboys. We want his alum status to be UNT.

We are wasting scholarships on guys that would be the same as him.. Wyche has under preformed.. Dillman, Means, countless more.. 

hell offer the kid and get some pub because he will likely still decline it and go elsewhere.. worst cost he comes in and is a practice arm

The single worst reasoning and statement I've ever heard to give a kid an offer.

Lmao.. the kid has won a state championship.. the kid is the QB on one of the best teams in DFW and at worst is a practice arm.. we have guys who have been on scholarship for years and have yet to touch the field in a spring game or real game.... 

Hell, I’m sure Grandpa would write over a check also and maybe even alllow UNT to play at Jerryworld..

I rather  have that receiver that he throwing the ball at.  That guy can catch, has good hands and strength.  I don't remember his name or number though.  Is the kid from HP (walk on) still on the Mean Green football team?

You don't offer scholarships to "hope grandpa does this" or hope we can get this donation.  The coaches at UNT and all over country have seen the kid and all agree he isn't a D1 QB.  UNT proved they'll go find and offer a guy that no one will if they think he fits, they obviously don't think that.  If your hypotheticals worked out that would be great, but UNT is already all over the Ford Center in Frisco and tied into Cowboys.  We're doing pretty good in that area already.

Don't think he made it to campus.

After watching the HP/Manvel game, I have three comments.

1.  Love the signing of Martin. Yes, he was surrounded by playmakers, but he makes smart decisions and gets them the ball.

2.  We need to keep the Manvel pipeline open. Unbelievable athletes. 

3. Offer Jones now. Kid was incredible, is a winner, makes those around him better, etc...  I am not a HP fan, but man he played a hell of a game.

      State of College Football

      Surrendering ourselves to a G5 playoff would be disastrous. It would give the P4 all the ammo they need to effectively remove the automatic bid for the highest ranked G5 champ. The correct solution, in today's environment, is to maintain the automatic G5 bid for the main playoffs and have a mixed G5/P4 NIT style tournament as Pernetti suggested. Don't take, add. Wouldn't be a bad idea to allocate future "NIT" and playoff spots per conference based on their previous performances. They do this in Europe for their European tournaments. Each league gets a coefficient rating based on the previous 5 years performance in European competitions. Not performing? You lose spots. Performing? You gain spots. So you know, the ACC going 1-9 so far, the Big12 going 2-7 back in 2022, the SEC going 6-8 and ACC going 2-4 both in 2021 would have some affect on that rating and future potential spots in the playoffs and NIT. No reason the ACC should get 2 spots next year considering this year's playoffs. The rating would just ensure transparency.

      Because the ever present lie of “we could be next” keeps G5 athletic directors, coaches, and fan bases docile. Keep the system just shy of outright exclusion of G5 programs and you can slowly strip away access while claiming that wasn’t the plan all along. It’s why the Power Ball lottery is so popular. Even though the chances of winning are exponentially small for everyone (the G5 programs), everyone will point to that one lady in a far off trailer park (Boise) who hit it big!

      Women at Wichita State (12/29/24)

      Time to see how good or bad this conference is. The women (8-4) travel north to face Wichita State (6-7) in the AAC opener. We beat the Lady Shockers in Denton last year, 72-68. At 8-4, the women are tied with ECU for third best nonconference record in the league. Only UTSA (9-2) and UAB (9-3) are better. However, at 17-7, UNT has the best combined men's and women's basketball record of any program in the AAC. Game is at 1pm on ESPN+.
