I wonder if people are quick to look at our RBs as a path to understand/justify why we struggled so much when he went down.  The loss of Easly coincided with the exact same time we started struggling.

 I agree with your post. Regarding the loss of Easly coinciding with when we started struggling, it's unfortunate if people view that as an indicator of Easly being better than Torrey. Losing Easly also coincided with us losing Kemon Hall for several games, arguably our best defensive player, and Mason Fine getting hurt. It was the first game all year where we got banged up. Fine was never the same after that game. It's obvious he was playing hurt considering how often he finished games hobbling after the LT game.

Personally, I prefer Easly over Torrey as a lead back because our offense lacks physicality. We don't really have a big, physical receiver or TE that is heavily used. Easly gave us balance that was greatly needed. We'll need him next year no matter how good Torrey is.

Easley will be back next season ready to go and he did not lose eligibility for this past year since he only played 4 games.

He already had to sit out a season when he transferred here, right?  That was his redshirt season.  So his 5-year eligibility clock was ticking this year, and he has one year left.

Either way, I'm more worried about his ability to return to form following his injury.

Buisness decision on the recruits part. Understandable. Doesn't mean NT has to like it, but given where NT is this season in recruiting it will not make a big difference. In fact, having space for someone else may be a blessing in disguise (still don't really have that), as right now locking up players has gone so well that it tied SLs hands at being opportunistic.

Maybe he'll qualify for an injury waiver, the mystical "medical redshirt" to get a 6th year of eligibility?

Yes, I think 2 years have to be affected by injury to get the 6th year.  You cannot take a standard redshirt any year and still get 6th year eligibility.  At least that's how it used to be--I'm not sure if the recent rule changes have somehow affected that.

He blew his knee out at SFA as well, I thought.   Maybe he didn't miss enough time there.

The reality is, this kid has kept his options open this entire time. He stated it in his commitment notice that his recruiting was still open. I don't blame him for his decision and wish him the best, but this is the least surprising decommit of the litrell era. Every other kid in the class was signing an LOI this week. North Texas is actually in a position this year they don't have to beg for the kid to come and can (did) fill his spot with someone else. You can't blame either side on how this went. The kid is hoping one of the big schools doesn't land their fish and he gets to fill that spot. He already has two P5 offers he might be able to take in Virginia and Syracuse, if he thinks he's better off waiting to see how the chips fall for himself. That's his gamble to make. I just hope it was his decision and not a family members. Good luck and GMG.

He might decommit tomorrow who knows. but it won't be for Syracuse is what I am saying. 

. In my defense if choice was still here. I would be right. But when choice left and GT already had their recruit it was a game changers. Best of luck to Garrison in New York

Babers leaving Syracuse is about as sure as Littrell leaving NT.    When he does, I'd expect Johnson to transfer, unless he likes losing & being very very cold.

Kason Martin's Dad is a coach up there and I think that was the connection for Johnson to Syracuse.  If Babers leaves and Coach Martin follows, then maybe.  Either way, he's not with us, we don't play them, so best of luck

Yeah, I recall him going up there.    If he leaves with Babers, then good for him.   

If he doesn't go with Babers, I doubt the new person hangs onto him.  Either way, it doesn't look like Martin will be in Syracuse very long.

We have no room for him anymore, right?    I didn't think we had room for Keith Jackson, but he's on board now as well.   Can we add Johnson?   Or do you think Littrell burned that bridge?

If PC is excited and shared with Kason, we're planning on it.

We definitely have room at RB. We have 3 scholarship senior RBs and 1 redshirt junior. Looking forward to 2022, if everyone on the roster and committed stays, we only have 4 RBs who would be on scholarship that year (Adaway, Ragsdale, Johnson, and Jackson).

      UTSA Game Uniforms

      Opps! Jim Hobdy created the UNT Battle Flag in 1986 and WAS NOT involved with Rick Spear's design of the flying worm which was adopted by Hayden Fry and used during his tenure.My bad. It is a shame that we didn't stick with it and it certainly separated us from any other eagle mascot. However if you google history of Mean Green knickname you will find the credit for its universal usage by UNT attributed to Rick Villareal, not Hayden Fry.

      UTSA Game Uniforms

      I don't think Hayden did this. Perhaps you could provide some reference as I can't recall the term "mean green " applying to our team as a whole until the 2000's. Yes the eagle is our mascot and mean green is the nickname of our team. Also I believe Jim Hobney [sic] was also involved in the creation of the flying worm bet can't exactly remember how. Maybe you know.

      This is a big game for Elf

      I agree with most all you say, but I don't think Coach has his team here yet. Everything is not yet fixed (ie defense). If he can elevate the Defensive play (ie new DC and bigger, better players) to match the Offense, then we will have something! Sorry, we are still a work in progress!

      This is a big game for Elf

      We have lost 4 of the last 5 against this program, 5-7 overall. UTSA has been playing FBS football since 2012. Since 2013, we have been in a conference with them. Through last season, they are 72-65. They've won 2 conference titles and have gone 1-4 in bowl games, while also being ranked. They've had three coaches. In the same category above, we are 63-71. No conference championships and have gone 1-6 in bowl games. We have had 4 head coaches. If we lose to them tonight, Morris will basically tell us that he just isn't going to be able to lift this program higher than it was when he took it over. UTSA in 2024 is not good. They're 4-5, with wins over Kennesaw State, Houston Christian, FAU, and (somehow) Memphis. Not counting having to sacrifice themselves to UT-Daddy, they've lost 4 games against peer programs, Texas State, ECU, Rice, and Tulsa. Maybe I'm wrong, but we should beat these guys, even on the road at a place that has been a house of horrors for us, if we have the right coach leading us. This is one of those games that will tell us in our hearts if we have someone worth a damn as the head coach or if he's no different than everyone else we always hire here.
