Will the last person in Denton please turn off the lights.   Darn a starter at that.  I thought the OL would be strong this year.

[MeanGreenTexan]

Dang.  That hurts.  I thought Gray played well for the most part.

[jtm0097]

Well poop

[akriesman]

Man, I HATE the transfer portal.

[Coach Andy Mac]

He was a stud.  This is simply devastating.

[BillySee58]

Good news is we had co-starters at RG at the beginning of the year so we have two guards on the roster with experience. Also Jett Duncan seemed to make a strong early impression as a true freshman and was Gray’s immediate backup on the depth chart.

We have a 4* QB coming in. Take the good with the bad.

[greenminer]

Timing seems strange.

Best wishes to him.

[greenjoe]

Has he been participating in spring drills ?

[untjim1995]

This really hurts. SL has got to be mad as hell about this, losing a starter going into a very huge season.

It will be.

Another kid receiving bad advice. Joining thousands out there with not near enough spaces to fill.

That’s not the case with this one. It will come to the light soon.

But he's a legitimate graduate transfer.  New rules had nothing to do with his coming to UNT.

Will be interesting to see if he announces another school quickly. With Siggers there was not doubt that he had been recruited before he entered the portal. Let's see what happens here,

Y’all don’t know the full story on why. We are fine, next man up.

Just so we are all on the same page here:

new rules = not yet implemented

COVID exception = one-time thing as a result of 2020-2021 pandemic

transfer portal = started in 2018. Prior to lockdowns  had nothing to do with COVID

..that’s my understanding, and some of the usage being thrown around seems incorrect.  It’s throwing conversations out of whack.

Even with a backstory - even a legit one/reason - it’s a lost starter. It doesn’t negate the lost experience.

[ntmeangreen11]

I think our offensive line should be okay next season, but can we all be honest about the competition we faced last season? I don't think it's a certainty that we'll have a really good OL next season, and this only adds to that skepticism for me.

••• Not picking on any one player who are merely acting on what the NCAA rules committee put in front of them as a choice, but still...
 “Loyalty to the end?” Is that what the NCAA rules committee boys had in mind with all this?  Hardly not. 
This new rule is tantamount to one being married to his 1’st love then the husband (out of the blue) tells his wife after 3-4 years, “Honey bunny, thanks for everything, but I think I’m going to move on now—I found somebody who appears to be more glamorous, so I’ll just go now—🤔Golly gee!  Hope this works out for, uh, “me.”
••• Don’t these kids have enough on their plates already for the NCAA think tank & rules committee to put more on on it like this destructive rule?
••• I know America is in a self-destruct mode of late, but can the NCAA bureaucrats in Indianapolis just leave the toy section of all our department store of life freakin’ alone?  

DAMN YOU, ROGER!😱(Scratch Roger & insert)▶️ 🗣DAMN YOU NCAA EGGHEADS RUNNING THE RULES COMMITTEE.

G5's are now just a practice squad for P5's.

But let's see where he goes if anywhere....

All Not Really Lost, Is It?.......Aren’t P5 schools who finish 5’th or 6’th (like a B12🐸TCU most years) in their 10-12 team P5 conferences; anyhow, aren’t they  going to pretty well have similar level of bowls as G5 schools who win or finish 2’nd in their respective G5 conferences?  If so, sounds like a G5 recruiting selling point because look who we recruit against among P5 schools in Texas, Oklahoma & beyond?
