This can’t be good...

Crap!

Kade, don't do it!  It’s unamerican to leave the state of Texas to play college football.

Kinda saw it coming, but nevertheless disappointing.

[FirefightnRick]

That might be the one that flips him?  I hear he really liked UCF and FSU on his visits, and was really impressed with Briles.

Dangling carrots. They don't even have a freaking HC. That whole staff very well may be wiped clean, as well as the current commits. 

[Mean Green Matt]

Maybe we should take a deep breath. Based on the things he has said I am still confident he signs with us. And it’s going to be awesome. 

[Marty]

Briles may not even be there next season.

[Mean Green Matt]

Why is it that as a fan base we assume a kid couldn't possibly get an offer from FSU and still sign with us?  We have a lot to offer.  Great facilities, close to home, a coaching staff he obviously built a relationship with. Opportunity to start from day 1 with Mason graduating.  He has said that he wants to leave a legacy at North Texas.  Out practicing with other commits.  Et cetera.  

I'm hopeful that we look back on this as a monumental moment for the program when an elite quarterback, with many options, chose to come play in Denton.

[Cr1028]

I hope he chooses to honor his commitment to us but I can’t blame him if he chose FSU.

[SigmaGreen]

It shows 2 visit dates in December. On the 6th to FSU and the 13th to UNT. Ours is last and right before signing day. I think he stays with us.

It is clear we need a QB to replace Fine and we haven't "found" him yet.  With the right size and durability, under this offense, we can produce an NFL QB. Hopefully he sticks and becomes the next legend at NT.

[Wag Tag]

Playing close to home where his family can watch was important. Hope it still is. Is he now a 4 star?

[H-towngreen]

I’m not worried. They don’t have a coach! Highly unlikely baby Briles I there next season once the new coach comes in. If anything this is Briles laying some groundwork for wherever he ends up next.

This has been his angle since day 1.  He’s even said so.  I admire the kid on his hustle!

Thanks Coach Briles for pulling the trigger & helping the cause... probably knows he’s doing Kade a solid & that he’s not even going to be there long enough to see him on campus if Kade happened to pull the trigger.

I think Kade sticks with NT, and possibly leapfrogs Williams as our #1-rated recruit after this offer.  Whether he’s a 4-star or not?  We’ll see.

[UNTLifer]

Couple of issues he should consider:

1.  As many have already mentioned, Lil' Briles may be gone after this season.

2.  FSU is a mess from the top down.

3.  I am thinking young Mr. Renfro looks at everything, considers Briles has a checkered past of basically selling sex to recruits while at Baylor, and sticks with us.

[Big Z]

This kid isn’t going anywhere 

[MrStrange18]

Lets hope he can see the bigger picture and not get sucked into the idea of a big ACC school vs CUSA.

For sure a good opportunity to show up here and make an impact right away... esp since it looks like Seth will be around for the next year or two.

How would we know we haven’t “found” him yet?  How would we know what we have currently on our roster?

Florida State throughout the years is very much a roller coaster. They have some ranked years without a stellar record, some pretty bad years, then obviously the pinnacle of winning the National Championship with Jameis "You Skrong?" Winston. They are a dumpster fire right now with no coach and potential cleaning out of the coaching staff, but you never know. Hoping it's just to angle for that 4th star

[Travis]

Briles never stays anywhere for long at all since Baylor.

Statistically we may never replace Fine. But that isn't a bad thing. We have some talented QB's behind Fine. I favor ones who are like the QB at TCU.  He just finds a way to score points in very adverse circumstances against high level opponents.

This spring will be real interesting.

 

[Withers940]

Until he says other wise, Kade's coming here and he's going to lead us to a CUSA Championship with his fellow recruits!

 

Kade and Christian both mentioned that they want to be the first 4 star recruits at UNT so that why I believe he's here to stay

[Udomann]

I don't even see this as a conversation. A shot at FSU is 10x more valuable than UNT. Look how we ran Fine into the ground. Running for his life on every play. Which QB would look at us as opportunity rather than plan B? We aren't there yet. And our staff made sure of that this year.

FSU - 120th in sacks allowed at 37.

UNT - 37th in sacks allowed at 16. 

This ^^^^^^ has turned into a theme in Tallahassee. He would be running for his life there as well.

Completely fair point there (if you ignore ACC vs CUSA imbalance)

If our recruiting ceiling was as high as FSU, that would be a good argument to make to recruits. Just once I'd like to see us pull off a great OL. I'll keep reaching for that rainbow...
