A lot of people expressed their opinion on him potentially coming back, and my overall thought is this.

We have a great QB room so it would be tough, but if the kid thinks he can beat everyone out and lead us to victory, go ahead. He was 18 when he decommitted, so he clearly has matured on his stance. Not to mention the problem, Reeder, is long gone.

I’m intrigued on next year.

We have a great QB room based on what exactly?

That’s what I was thinking.  A QB room full of, well, Quarterbacks.  We still have room for a “good, top notch Quarterback that can win football games for UNT”.

This kid can’t decide on a position, a first name or a school...

[MeanGreenZen]

I watched him play in person at Stephenville and never thought he was a candidate to play WR. I guess that probably contributed to his transfer.
But it is really weird to get switched positions immediately and to jump in the portal before your first season is even over. 
Were they trying to run him off?

[El Paso Eagle]

Does this surprise anyone after seeing what he did earlier? This young man, right or wrong, wanted attention and wanted to play P5 ball and they saw him as an "option" to possibly add depth. I don't think they ever thought he could be their starter. As he got there it seems like he realized this was not going to happen. Like a lot of career P5 backups he wanted/needed to test the waters. Some stay to say they were there, other transfer to play.  Hope he finds somewhere to call home. If it's here, great. Sadly, I don't think his next stop will be his last.

It smells of a young man that is all about himself and nobody else.  Then again, maybe a little humble pie is what he needed.

No sir it’s called Karma and it’s a biatch.

Are we, as NT fans, more concerned with 'karma'?   Or winning games?
If the former, no wonder we're where we are.
If the latter, kick the tires again and see if he's interested.

Some of y'all really need to kick the jilted-lover-syndrome.

Mean Green fans: “Look at how much success SMU has had with transfers! Why aren’t we getting good transfers in to Denton? Seth needs to start bringing these guys in instead of just high school recruits!”

Mean Green fans when a transfer we built a strong initial relationship with comes available: “Smells like a young man that is all about himself. He used us. It’s called Karma. Had your chance.”

Nobody is saying they wouldn't be interested in seeing him come here, but were just commenting on how he played the game and it has come back to haunt him a little bit.

And then sometimes you need to look at the person and judge if his attitude is good for the team. I will trust the coaches.

If you were just commenting on the situation then there wouldn’t be a personal shot against him saying “it smells of a young man that is all about himself and nobody else.”

[UNTLifer]

Just called it like I saw it.  If he comes, I want a team player.

That’s whatever, my point was it’s not true that you were JUST commenting on the situation and how it didn’t work out for him. You took a personal shot.

Thanks for keeping me in line.  I was making a personal observation.  You can call it a shot at the kid, but from what I observed during his recruitment and now this, he is all about Austin/Cade.  He could prove me wrong in the future.

FWIW, I agree with you. Based on what I remember, kid committed to us early, kept going to camps, kept fielding offers, and kept playing the recruiting game on Twitter. I don't blame him for playing the game. Hell, I played it when I was coming out of High School too, but actions have consequences. Every athlete has some level of selfishness to them and his actions do not indicate any different. That being said, if he comes here, I would gladly welcome him. We are not in a position to be turning away that kind of talent out of spite.

[Marty]

If he can come here and make us better, come on down Kade.

Scholarship at UNT to walk-on at Arkansas with never even playing a down...

[PlummMeanGreen]

Never forget reading Mickey Spagnola of the Dallas Times-Herald Q ‘& A with (then UA AD) Frank Broyles when he was entertaining the idea of Arkansas leaving the SWC for the SEC. Well, they did leave but at what cost has been the question of many.  The SEC would have been better financially, but as far as SEC championships & total wins those have been too few.

Next year around this time. I am coming home, committed to the Tarleton Texans.
