I think with Smith, Johnson, and some of the other recruits, we should be set at RB. I would use that transfer scholarship on the defensive side.

No upper class runners... warren would be a nice addition but it would likely potentially lead to a clog at the position but he is a physical runner that we need

Texas RB Chris Warren III has announced he will transfer.  Would be a great pickup if UNT could get him.   He will have 2 years to play.

Is this a normal transfer or grad transfer ?

At 6 foot 3 and 250 pounds per 247, I would take him regardless. He would just pound through other defenses and would be very hard to take down. Love Smith's ability but I think a back of that size would really be a force in CUSA. If not at RB, maybe convert to another position at that size?

He be larger than most CUSA LBs.. I knew he was a bigger back but not that big.. sign him up

6’3” 250 pound Rb would be a bulldozer once he hits the outside. He was originally a TE at UT. 

I wonder if her was a two sport athlete in HS that could be flipped to defense. Chances are he’s an athlete and could be a big contributor in the CUSA on defense but I dont know.

Why flip him? Guys like Dillman and Mean barely touch the field at all.. we have needed a physical/big back and warren is that type of back that could/would be a great pairing with Johnson and Smith, and even Siggers

Yes plz.. but speaking of scholarships, will we put Lawrence on scholly next yr?

Now that he has been in the program 2 years (after this season) he can be placed on scholarship and not count against the 25 per year, but will count against the 85 total.  With us being under the 85 total scholarship level, no reason to not put him on scholarship after the season.

He'd be a great pick up. But why is he transferring? That reason directly effects how much work the coaches should put into getting him! 

Herman seemed to be giving his RB recruit more playing time as the year went on...

The question is how close will they be after this senior class leaves.. They were at 80 scholarships before this season started and before RJ Reyonlds (the late enrollee freshman from Air Force showed up).  But I would agree Lawerence should be on scholarship if we have 1 open, he is probably the most deserving of one.

Sidenote as well...

He has 2 years to play, but 1 would be ate up by transferring (he is not a grad transfer), but he could apply for a medical RS from his 2016 season which he had an injury.. According to the report he is upset he is not a full-time RB, but with us needing an older RB in the room after Wilson/Tucker leave I think it would be a solid addition to the group.

Anytime there’s a damn near 5 star recruit on the market that nearly ran for 300 in a game as a freshman, you take a stab at getting him on campus. He’d the be the thunder to our lightning (Nic Smith).

      That’s very impressive. Let’s NIL their director.

      The Band

      Thats fantastic. They should have their own unique uni's with their school colors. Or at least have some sort of insignia on their NT uniforms. I have written MANY TIMES to the school of music expressing my concerns about the Green Brigade. Daniel Cook actually ask me to watch a practice where they debuted the North Texas fanfare. Something that he either composed himself or had someone in the school of music compose. Daniel (Dr?) Cook inherited a pretty crappy version of the Green Brigade. The most significant change he made was the fanfare. The rest is CRAP. The Band is unwieldy and bloated, and the best word (besides crap) to describe the pre-game show is "perfunctory". They just go through the (musical) motions. At the Army game, as the Band was at mid-field playing the fight song I stood up and did the traditional clapping along with the band, but I kept yelling "TEMPO! TEMPO! GET THE DAMN TEMPO UP! Get to the middle of the field with energy and forgodsakes STOP PLAYING THE "AMERICAN EMBLEM MARCH". That is Junior High stuff. THIS is what a College Band looks like......or is SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE. This is the closest thing to what the North Texas Band used to look like in the 60's-early 70's, under the late, great Maurice McAdow........only the McAdow Bands played better than these guys. But everything else (including the Uniforms) were pretty much the same. So I ask, do they have more talented musicians than us? Do they have more pride than us? I'm interested in hearing from "letsgiveacheer" about this.
