Jason Bean has entered the portal

lol

Hope the kid finds what he’s looking for. But his body language when he was taken out of games was HORRIBLE. 
 

edit: before anyone views this as me dogging the kid, I actually like Bean a lot. Super dynamic and could be a good QB with more work. And 18-22 year old me would be pissed if I was taken out of a game too. It was just an observation and not something you want from the leader of the offense.

I hope this means we're moving away from our "two-qb" scheme... lmao. Also curious who wants him/where he would want to go

[MCMLXXX]

Waiting to hear from Emmitt on this one.

Exactly. Terrible body language and never showed any sort of emotion on the sideline. 
SEE YA!

[MeanGreen22]

This makes the QB competition veryyy interesting. I think this opens the door for someone to compete that might otherwise get overlooked. Only so many reps available in a practice. 

[BillySee58]

Guessing he must not have liked what he heard about where he stood heading into spring. Working in 6 scholarship QBs and getting them all reps was going to be a challenge. 5 still will be a challenge but the path seems a little more clear.

[PlummMeanGreen]

Many saw this coming.  Wonder what took so long?  I liked his work.  Hope he finds a good place to land.  

[El Paso Eagle]

Just wondering - Is he enrolled this semester? If he is does he stay or take off? I wonder if UNT continues to pay their way after they request out as a rule, or if it is decided on a player by player review?

[Udomann]

More excited about our incoming QB prospects TBH, hope he sticks the landing though and does well!

The scholarship renewals are for the entire academic school year 

[NorthTexasSportsNetwork]

Under the radar guy is Greyson Thompson. Had great stats at Braswell, and would love to see what he brings in the spring with Bryce, Austin, and Kason.

So all of these transfers are competing with the incoming high school recruits and JUCO recruits for one of the 25 new scholarships each school gets every year? Seems like the math won’t add up. 

[MCMLXXX]

Amani Gilmore may actually be the QB that many thought Bean was going to be.

[UNT Texas Hooligan]

With all of the QBs under scholarship next year, it was almost inevitable that a QB was going to enter the portal. Half expected it to be Bean but this makes sense. Probably thinks he is too good to be splitting time with another QB.  

[MGNation92]

Good. No more ride the "hot hand" crap. Pick a guy and stick with him, unless he has a horrendous game like 5 turnovers or something. 

No reason we shouldn't have a clear cut starter

I could be wrong, but under NCAA rules I believe once a player request into the portal the school is under no requirement to maintain financial support.

Correct. It’s a bubble for sure.

Each year many players who hit the portal are left without scholarship offers. Many end up walking on at other schools or dropping down Divisions

I think that’s more with regards to the next year and filling spots on the 85-man limit. Renewals, or the decision to not renew for the next school year, have to be done by July 1st. His scholarship for this school year was renewed at that point.

I thought he had potential. He needed to be utilized to his skillset IMO. naked boots to strong side HB crossing through the LOS for easy dump offs and likes. Just very high % throws while moving the pocket. That's not really SL's philosophy though. SL is from the pool of coaches that wants a shotgun pocket passers that reads the defense pre-snap and knows who "should" be getting the ball before he snaps it. That's not Bean's skillset and that's OK. Bean should find a place to go and has a shot to be very good. 

[Cr1028]

This is one I expected to happen. Siggers I didn’t see coming.

[GrandGreen]

Very bad news.  I think Bean was the best QB NT had.

Very few players anywhere and at any position have that kind of speed.

Plus, Aune IMO is not the answer.  He is a good backup, but if he is the best NT has; it is going to be a long year.

He was a weapon.  I wish we could have found more creative ways to utilize him, but maybe he didn't want to be moved away from QB.

Best wishes to Bean.

This. Our offense just doesn't suit his QB style.

No chance he comes back now. No one is going to trust a QB that looks like they are quitting on their team by entering the portal.
