Posted by UNT 90 Grad,

I was there.  Just because Littrell hasn’t announced the starting QB doesn’t mean we won’t have a single 1st string QB.   Competition is good and I have no problem with Littrell allowing Aune to feel like he has to earn the position.  Martin may have had the best camp, but I think that may have been because he had more opportunity for growth.  Aune and Martin both looked really sharp during drills against defense  (excitingly sharp).  However, when it came to the actual scrimmage, Aune stood out

Good scrimmage recap

Shocker!  Is anyone really surprised the OL depth is suspect?  Always has been a problem.  Same with the DL.

Well when you have 2 monster ends coming at you, it's not that easy. I think it's fine mainly because they are pretty young. If Farrell was on the team, I feel like it would be different.

I thought that Aune was superb and Martin not that far behind.  His first touchdown throw was a thing of beauty.  I saw one bad overthrow where he was flushed out of the pocket and threw the ball 60 yards on the run; about five yards beyond the receiver.  I saw a couple more slight overthrows that looked like coverage overthrows so that only his receiver had a chance at the ball and not the defender.  Drummond, who threw a pick6, showed more than Gilmore in my opinion.  Gilmore had a tipped interception.  Now if Ruder is better than Aune we're going to have a very good quarterback room.

It would’ve been a TD if Darden was underneath.

We’re gonna miss that guy next season.

I would hope some of the youngsters, Duncan, Cassidy, Brunner and Byers would start stepping up to provide depth.

Did our young stud TE's do anything of note? Seems like we have a plethora of talent at the position but not much production

The only ones that I noticed were Lyles and Jake Roberts.  I'm not sure if Lyles was at tight end or receiver.  Roberts was a very effective blocker but I don't think that he was targeted.

He impressed me in the few times he was targeted last year.  I would hope we would utilize the TE over the middle and look forward to production from the likes of Lyles, Roberts, Alberding and Christian Lee.

87 is an absolute stud. With a full offseason this year, he may be our best prospect on offense this fall.

I am looking forward to him developing his game, but regarding the statement in bold:

That's Jake Roberts and he is quite possibly our next big NFL prospect.  He is a stud and can really play.

Don't forget they also have Pirtyle and Albernding.  Alberding is also a physical specimen and is big enough to be an offensive tackle.  The tight end position is stocked!

Littrell loves to bring him up. He has mentioned Roberts many times in interviews unprompted. Roberts also seems to be among the weight room or academic MVPs that the twitter account shouts out just about every time. He immediately won that starting H Back role as well. Definitely easy to picture him playing an even bigger role this year.

      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.
