this kid can't play here.  give him a PWO sure, but do not waste a scholarship.  

I mean, UNT is great and all, but he has scholarship offers from Arkansa, TTech, and smoo.  I doubt we get him here on a PWO offer.

JSJ is going to Arkansas, on scholarship.

Kid can't play at Arkansas if it is a legit offer, it's to continue bringing Jerry Jones $$ into the program or even raise it.  Good call by Morris but I will gladly eat crow if Jones ever plays a meaningful snap at Arkansas.

Oh, I don't think he is good enough to legitimately compete for playing time at UArk, just stating the fact that he has a scholly offer there.

What's the worst that could happen if we give him an offer? He says no? At least he gets the chance to potentially say yes to it, no matter how small that chance may be. At least here he could battle against Martin to see if he gets playing time once Mason graduates.

He’ll go to AR & get asked to move to WR.

if he can’t play, we don’t want him.  For those of you thinking Jerry’s $$ will follow, do you honestly believe Jerry cuts checks blindly?  He’ll be meddling so hard & lobbying for him to start over a Sr Fine... “or else, no $.”

He is a slot guy!

Not quick or fast enough.  He would make a good QB in the right situation.  An SEC school is not the right situation.

Why is an SEC school not the right situation? Don't you think we would need to wait 4 or 5 years to make that type of judgement?

Obviously not enough offers.

Seriously, because he doesn't have the size or speed to survive the SEC.

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.   

....and that is the "intangible" that I love to see in a QB. That's why I asked about him in another thread. If he has the same throwing ability as Fine, then he would be a perfect candidate to take over when Fine graduates. Fine has that important trait that all good to great QB's, and DB's have.......their previous mistakes do not change the intensity of their play. As a coach, you can provide support for that pre-existing trait, but you cannot coach it into a player.

The allen brothers who have been playing at Arky weren’t much bigger than Jones is.  Manziel wasn’t a big dude. As we’re seeing with these spread offenses size at qb isn’t as big as it once was.

      Is this what an “offensive genius” looks like?

      The defense was disastrous last night but stop with this "offense did enough to win" crap. A 3 and out and interception in the first 2 drives is not doing enough to win. Were it not for a defensive stop after the onside kick and a Porter 79 yard run, we'd have been down 21-0 and counting. Yes, the defense needs to do more but what high powered offense puts up 7 in a half? This team did the same crap last year. No offense in the first half and then when we put up garbage time points people say "look at the offense." The offense is bordering bad. Tulsa put up 46 on UTSA. Texas State put up 49 and even Rice put up 29. Just to show you where our "high powered offense" stands.

      ***OFFICIAL UNT vs. UTSA IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      Atrocious in "all 3 phases" (that onside kick was a film study discovery by UTSA) but E Morris is just a horrible game manager. Just stupid decisions on multiple levels. I wish we weren't in the bowl hunt so Caponi could be fired if at least as a symbolic action to show the rest of the staff (minus Cobbs) they need to step it up a bunch. To the decision making, it's all been said. The timeout at 2nd and 16 with 49 seconds to go when most offenses would just let the clock run out to close the half, not taking reasonable field goal attempts early on, poor playcalling (honestly surprised a screen didn't get intercepted), these things fall on Eric Morris. Just garbage level game management. It's like he's playing a video game where there's no real consequences. Time of possession was about 39 to 21 in UTSA's favor. I know Porter had huge runs but UTSA also had huge plays. Why is it that others are capable of sustaining drives and eating clock but our "elite" offense can't do so? Defenses aside, you'd think our supposed top notch offense could be more consistent. I know our defense needs to make stops more consistently but anybody please tell me why our offense isn't capable of having some 6 or 7 minute scoring drives? Morris needs to relax on the pace of game. Just idiotic at this point.

      Why Support this Program?….Seriously!?

      Hilarious. Dudes have been in here since the 70s waiting for a miracle. I refuse to waste that much time.
