Posted by NorthTexasSportsNetwork,

I don't care if he wasn't rated, and is maybe undersized at his position, but we NEED the depth. I'm hoping we can get more of a depth in the front 7, and do what SMU and UH do where they do almost a complete rotation. We never really do that because we never have the depth and talent at that area. Welcome, Kameron!

Indeed

I will get downvoted. No disrespect to kameron, but I don’t think these are the type of the players we should be going after to fix our D. 

Why? He is a DE/LB who has shown he can rush

8 sacks in 2019, 7 in 2018. 

Looks like he did not play in any of their 6 fall games.

Looks like he might have opted out. I believe he was a preseason All-SLC pick

Looks like Bennett is going after guys who have proven they can play at the D1 level, rather than P5 guys who have been backups and are looking for playing time. Tyrae Thornton started at Rice, Kameron Hill was a multi-year starter at the FCS level, and Jason Simmons (another transfer offer we have out) started at Safety as a true freshman at New Mexico State in 2019.

We aren’t going to get P5 starters, so that’s typically what you can get. Either P5 backups who don’t have playing experience and the most recent tape you really have is high school, or guys who you actually have seen can play and produce at the D1 level but may not be as talented. We also have the former with guys like Jordan Rucker (Purdue), John Davis (Texas Tech), and Logan Wilson (ULM via Kansas State). Risk with either route.

Is he better than anything we have on the roster to waste a spot on him? 

PB and team must feel he can fill a need. We were one of the worst Defenses in football last year, so yes, there is a very good chance he is better than what we have on or team

When does he enroll and year/s left eligibility wise

Guessing he enrolls in Sumer 1. Seems like he should have 2 years??

Looks like just 1 year left. 2019 was his junior season.

I suspect PB could have him as an edge rush hybrid type of player. It looks like his system has stand up guys on some packages that he might fit. For example a 3rd down speed rush with 4 DE types instead of 2 DE's and 2 DT's. Also It will all depend on what type of shape he is in from sitting a year and no spring ball.

Agree.  It looks like he has good quickness and some technique.  Our staff certainly must be  thinking that he will get a fair amount of playing time.  We certainly need some more speed on the edges on 3rd downs (at least).

Is he thinking of moving one or more of the twins to linebacker? They proved to have good quickness on the edge. Something must really be standing out to PB to sign a 1 year guy.

I suspect the twins stay at DE. right where they proved they could play last year. They also appear to have have increased their size (250+) this off season which will help.

I disagree. We are heavy on underclassmen so this ain’t such a bad thing. We have the scholarship to give and it is a need area. Plus an expiring scholly also fits a need.

      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.
