Not good that he missed his tries and was never allowed to kick again.. 

In practice he was always really good. Won the starting job last two seasons I believe coming out of fall camp but never seemed to kick well in games.

This is fantastic news; a former High School Parade All-American, All-USA first team by USA Today player, and son of a North Texas living legend is coming home to play for the Mean Green.

Quote

Hedlund got off to a good start in his career at Arkansas, hitting all 58 of his extra points as a redshirt freshman in 2015 while also converting 9 of 15 field goal attempts. He went 5-for-7 on field goals in 2016 and hit all 25 of his extra points.

We were certainly spoiled with Trevor Moore's consistent excellence for the past several seasons and he will be missed. Hopefully a proven commodity like Cole Hedlund can help keep the kicking game a strength for our program.  Hedlund had been one of the best kickers on the planet for the preceding six years, one bad game in 2017 and a knee jerk grandstanding reaction by a hot-seat coach doesn't change that. 

Welcome Home Cole! We are thrilled to have you.

The problem is once a kicker loses confidence it can be difficult to regain it.  I welcome the kid to the team and wish him the best but I'm not assuming he's gonna win the job.

Let me preface this by saying I am glad she has decided to end up at UNT and I wish him well.  We offer him a second chance and he offers us a powerful leg.  That said, I still wish he had made a different decision out of high school.

He should have never gone to Arkansas.  What a great story it would have been for him to play at the school where his dad has been such an icon.  Now he comes to UNT due to a lack of results.  Hopefully this will have a happy ending but I think he would do it differently if given the chance to go back in time.

That said, kids want to take their own path in life and the lure of the SEC is strong.

So what kicker on the roster you think wins the starting job?

We missed on both Hedlund brothers out of high school.  And when the older brother got a grad transfer, he went to Southern Meth.  I remember feeling low about all three decisions.  However, the bar (crossbar ?) has always been high for kickers at North Texas.

No idea.  There could be someone not on the roster right now who comes in and wins the job.  Hopefully someone takes command of the job by the first game.

No brainer then. 

I agree and hope he gets everything sorted out. Hopefully, being home will help. 

What is the status of Zach Williams?  He was highly rated out of high school, but with Hedlund visiting and the coaches recruiting the young man from Keller, it makes me wonder if he is ready to go.

      So sick of the crap this football program slings us

      So it’s Jared right? He can make it happen. Meaning he has the power to assemble Talons, Maniacs and Green Brigade Leadership this month to plan for the creation and execution of the DATCU Energy Experience this fall. I would think our band would learn from other bands that out excite them. But they don’t. They don’t copy them, try offshoot efforts of them…I see nuances which can be cool but I’m talking about a full in game production transformation. Which needs to include: Pregame March. Pregame field sets. Stand music sets. Chant alignment at the quarters and kickoff. Big 3rd quarter close. There is power in numbers and their efforts could ignite the alumni side. We need coordinated chants like TSU’s eat em up eat em up go cats go or something like that. I also miss Fky Like An Eagle Go Green Go White… We used to have an awesome 3rd down Green Brigade set always played at the right time and only on that down. I’m not meaning to come down on the GB because this is a leadership focus. But the time is now. Season is over. All amazing performances have terrifically designed practices, rituals and coordinated forces behind them. Jared may even consider a Fan Council to help with idea generation, program research, connection support…give council members a 2 year term and they collaborate monthly with feedback to the athletic board regularly. That would be 6-7 Council meetings to spawn community, dormant alumni, and student engagement before opening day. Let’s get some things going then we can talk about that cool Rangerette type crew for the stands down the line. See TSU, Alabama, Auburn most programs in the SEC. First things first. GMG

      RECAP: No. 21 Memphis wins scrappy battle over North Texas

      Memphis shot 55% overall and 38% on 3-pointers. It also recorded 16 forced turnovers, 8 steals, 7 assists, 4 offensive rebounds and 3 blocks. The game saw six lead changes and four ties, but the Tigers still remained ahead for more than 24 minutes. Ross Hodges’ team (10-4, 1-1 AAC) shot 43% from the field and 22% from beyond the arc. It also outrebounded Memphis 30-21 while racking up 15 forced turnovers, 12 offensive rebounds, 11 assists, 7 steals and 3 blocks. Brenen Lorient (18), Moulaye Sissoko (17), Jasper Floyd (11) and Rondel Walker (10) scored double-figure points for the Mean Green. Here are some takeaways from Memphis’ AAC home opener. read more: https://bluffcitymedia.co/recap-no-21-memphis-wins-scrappy-battle-over-north-texas/?amp=1
