Damn it.  I was hoping for this one. 

 A likely starter here from day one

Wow, what could have been, and should have been.

 A likely starter here from day one, yeah, it looks like he'll shun his community for the glitz of riding a P5 bench. 

Blood is thicker than water, but in this case, not as thick as that distant Great Lakes water.

Wow, what could have been, and should have been.

A shame.

So true DeepGreen.

Welcome home Paula to where you should have been all along.

Now go make your North Texas and Euless Tongan community proud.

He's a badass.

I predict he'll be transferring to North Texas in January of 2023.

Please remember that this player may have graduated from Channelview, but he grew up part of the Tongan community in Euless. It's a very tight-knit community that has an established history of incredible student athletes coming to North Texas.

I think that the Tongan community has a long reach. Coincidence maybe but I ran a half marathon in Maui few weeks back. As I do in every other race, I wore a North Texas hat and tech shirt. I got at least ten Go Mean Green's (more than I got North Texas) during this race, almost all from folks who appeared to be Tongan. Most were volunteers at aid stations, firefighters, etc. I think the Tongans in Hawaii pay attention to where their brothers are playing football.

Love the consistent passion and hard work I see when I watch them play football, first brought to my attention watching Trinity and Brigham Young.

I'm guessing he's transferring to UNT.  Correct?  How many years will we have him?

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      These conference wishlists are fun to discuss but in no world should UNT share a conference with Tarleton State and SHSU in 2025 lol I’d love being in the PAC as long as some other AAC members follow as a package. That conference wouldn’t be as friendly regionally but there would definitely be more opportunities for national recognition in the PAC especially in basketball.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      TXST in the same conference would be fun, but there are a lot of great moves to make... many of the current teams in our conference need to be kicked out first to avoid cheapening the media payout.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      Before the PAC2 raided the MWC, I had been a supporter of joining a rebuilt PAC, as long as it was a true "Western Conference" of D1, and we shared a nice little 6-8 division with the likes of Memphis, UTSA, Colorado State, Air Force, New Mexico, Tulane, and a Rice or Tulsa. But it did not appear the PAC was going to bring enough programs close to DFW to make the added travel and exit fees worth it. Still don't know how the MWC held onto UNLV and Nevada, otherwise it'd be an even crappier conference than CUSA. But unlike the PAC7, it will still be recognized as an FBS conference next July. Doesn't seem like Memphis, Tulane, and USF will be going there, especially with an unknown TV deal. Ultimately I think with realignment, one of the G6 leagues will dissolve. The American struggles by being a league with several new teams, no notable rivalries, and no regional tie like the PAC, SBC, MWC, and MAC claim. And there are plenty of moves we could make to improve across many sports, but the league is so saturated. If it were up to me, I'd get Rice, Tulsa, Charlotte, Temple out of the conference. Force FAU and UTSA to find a solution to their high school gyms. Add Texas State, James Madison, Liberty, Western Kentucky, Appalachian State, and Louisiana. That would create a 16-team conference with a 8-team West Division UNT would share and play annually against with UTSA, TXST, Tulane, Louisiana, Memphis, Western Kentucky, and UAB. Instead of playing frickin' Temple three times in three years. That would leave us at 15 teams for basketball, I'd add up to three non-football members between Dayton, St. Louis, VCU, Richmond.
