Interesting items:

RB Loren Easly is running #2

Caleb Colvin the big juco transfer is running #2 behind Rod Young at end. 

Juco Tim Faison is running #2 behind JoJo at the Jack

Kensworthy won the punter job over Cole.

LeMasters and Linehan are going to play a lot of football this season

Juco Torrey got kick returner job.

Defense looks very similar to what we had last year in terms of personnel. 

English at #2 nose

KD Davis is #2 at LB as a frosh -- impressive

Also is interesting that after all the talk about moving Murray to guard, he is listed as backup left tackle.   My guess is he is just too tall to play guard with a 5-11 QB.

Unless I'm interpreting something incorrectly, I think it still lists it as Nic Smith OR Loren Easley along with Kensworthy OR Cole.

Yes you are correct.  I was just pointing out that Easly must have really made his mark and we had heard Cole may had won the punting job but it seems they listed Kensworthy ahead of him on the 2-deep.

Young and Shorter were two of the guys who seemed to have really good camps and they are tied for the backup at the X and Z.  I had no idea Young was a SR.

Bryce English is a RS JR??? Hope we have two healthy seasons with him.

Manase Mose starting at RG as a RS FR.  

Six seniors starting on defense. One senior starting on offense.

I know this might not be a popular comment but I was hoping Cade would win the back up QB spot.  With the young ones coming i’m Not sure where this leaves his future with the Mean Green

I have yet to see this new oline in action, but on paper this looks like an improvement.

Expand  

The key is Mayfield.  If he stays healthy we could be ok, but if you lose him, Parrish is the backup and he's undersized and unproven.

He’s just not good enough.

Why?  I would hope the QB most ready to jump in wins the backup spot, regardless of who that is.  I think we all expected that to be Quinn.

Expand  

 Don’t get me wrong if Quinn is the next man in there I will support him 100%. But I was hoping Cade would step up this year and show that he’s potentially the next man up after Mason graduates

I've been saying since I saw him in spring that Easly was going to be replacing Wilson's power running. And Smith (or any of several others) is replacing the speed.

Might this be the proverbial "running back by committee"-type of year, rather than a feature back?

Could be, but from what I observed, that "committee" is a talented group. Don't get me wrong, Easly does have speed and he could end up being the starter before it's all over with. He ripped off some long runs in the spring, and when he was still playing at SFA, he ripped off a 75 yrd TD run against TCU.

With this RB group, outside of Easly, I'm finding it hard to see where we're going to establish a run game similar to last year. I've been saying it for a while, but with Smith, Johnson, and Torrey, I won't be surprised to see a LOT more screens and swing passes as the "de facto" run game.

I would include Wyche (#4) amongst the "committee". He's been hanging around for a couple of years and I assumed that with the addition of the young and fast RB's,  Wyche might fade away.

He has not!

Disappointing to not see Josh Sa'afi or McMillan listed.

It still doesn't make sense to me that we spent two scholarships on depth guys who probably won't contribute in their two years here.

I understand the DL group needed bodies, if injuries strike this year you would rather have 21 year old guys who have filled out rather than young guys who aren't ready. I still think those schollys would be better served going to a talented non qualifier who could either make it to campus or not or a project player.

      So, I assume the coaches have an end-of-spring-training talk with each player? Talk about their place on the depth chart or what they need to work on in the off season to improve their spot?

      Where do we go from here?

      As well as 46309 students enrolled. Denton's population is estimated in 2024 to be 164k. Denton County's population is over 1 million. So we got the following for crowds at DATCU last season for our 30th season of FBS play since the i-aa prison sentence was commuted after 1994: 23,510 for SFA (W) 27049 for Wyoming (W) 18529 for Tulsa (W) 23138 for Tulane (L) 28519 for Army (L) 17387 for East Carolina (L) So, we got a total attendance, according to UNT's reported numbers, of 138,132...which averaged 23,022 a game. Just gives you something to chew on.

      We’re not alone

      oh I definitely think there's some power conference collusion going on in seeding...taking from your above post, that Dayton/Nevada game stands out, especially when you have UT/Colorado State and UF/Colorado on 7/10 lines...but what are you meant to do when 3 of your 5 seeds are middies like SDSU, St. Mary's, Gonzaga? 5s have to play 12s and 12s are usually the top programs in the mid-major tier. I mean, I guess you can split hairs that a 5 could've been a 4 (the 4s went 3 of 4, with 2 advancing to at least the Elite8 or a 12 should've been an 11 (the 11s went 3 and 4 as well, all against power conference foes). the 5/12s here read way less of protectionism and more of just math in the end, all I'm really trying to convey is that, ya, maybe the mid-major cinderella is dead, but the evidence of one year's tournament isn't enough to make that definitive determination. and while maaaaaybe the days of building around 4 years-at-one-school players does feel like it's near done, I don't think keeping key parts of a roster together for 2-3 seasons at a Mid-Major is out of the question...relationships still count for a lot in this game. I firmly believe that we'd have a roster of at least Floyd, Newell...maybe B-Lo...and a couple of the bench kids back this season if Hodge hadn't been hired away. and goodness knows that all the CSU kids aren't getting million dollar deals to come to UNT...no clue on their NIL situations, but by and large those kids are here because of Robinson

      Nico Iamaleava and UNT

      The thing is, why would any starter at Miami ever think about holding out? It's not like they can go somewhere else and get more money. They're already paying their starting QB more than the $4 million Nico was asking for.
