I don't get it unless he just wants the island life

yes they throw a lot...3 1000+ yd receivers last year, just thought he would land at a larger, more prominent school.  

great for him to find a new place to play...will be watching late night hawaii games

if Bussey left UNT because of our QB situation, then this move is even more confusing.

Hawaii's starting QB skipped his coming senior year to enter the NFL draft.   He was drafted in the 7th round by Tennessee.

The Hawaii depth chart for 2020 shows nobody slated at QB right now (of course they do have them on the roster).

This is just a curious move all around, unless he just wants to spend a year on the beaches.

Plus they are breaking in a new coach, so the entire offensive philosophy might go more conservative than what he could’ve played in at UNT. This move doesn’t feel right to me for him but I wish him all the best.

When I lived in Hawaii for three years it was like having that expensive vacation every weekend. Maybe this is just an opportunity to enjoy the beach and Island Air for a year.

I think people need to realize that going back to UNT has been off the table for months. He didn’t choose Hawaii over coming back to UNT. He chose it over whatever his other options were.

Which brings me to a question that I've had since it first became evident that he wasn't coming back. To use that line from a Blues Bros. song....."well, what did I say to piss you off this time Baaaaaby"

Could you elaborate on that a bit?  Or are you just speculating?

I would be speculating as to why there was a divide, but there has been plenty already posted on the board indicating UNT and Bussey wasn’t going to be a thing in 2020. Wasn’t really part of the team after the injury, was in the stands during games, and was removed from the roster pretty early on.

Appears Mr. Bussey overestimated his value to other teams.  I think he was an excellent receiver, but that injury probably scared a lot of teams off.  

If he likes to travel than he is going to the right place.   Hawaii gets a special deal from their conference because of travel distance.  I wonder if that will be rethought in the current environment. 

Unlike other posters once someone traffers out of NT, I have little interest in their future.

I mean I really hate to lose him, but why not go for a year if it’s free. This is my selfish thinking but say he does go Pro, will he say he went to North Texas or Hawaii?

Nope.

Let this be a good indication to you guys who fear the sky is falling when it comes to letting kids transfer where they want and how they want one time.  Bussey was an amazing player for us, and yes he had the injury which probably limited *some* opportunities, but he's healthy now and despite his talent he goes to Hawaii.

Would be interesting to know what happened.  Something happened and we may never know.  He's gone and we move on.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
