Brendon Lewis

[Big Z]

His dad wish his son would of picked UNT instead of Colorado. 

[jtm0097]

He just entered the portal. Littrell should contact him now so he can be here in the spring.

[Big Z]

I'm good friends with his dad and they are an awesome family! His dad was really pushing for him to come here because he ran the same style of offense at Melissa but went with Colorado night before signing day.  Brendon is a good kid, I wish nothing but the best for him.

If Coach Mumbles is to return next season after miraculously winning the conference championship this should be our number one target in the transfer portal.

[UNTLifer]

Should be our number one target in the portal whether we win out, lose out, or win some and lose some.

Any way you could pass that info on to Coach Walerius so they don't just assume he's not interested?

Hope he got some good QB coaching at Colorado, cuz he ain't getting it here

I tweeted at Luke to bring him to Denton. However, I have as much faith in him reading my tweet as I do in us winning a bowl game.

I'm sure the staff will reach out to him

honestly once he is in the portal, he should reach out to the staff and show he is interested, should go both ways.

But you’d also love to see him at UNT. That’s quite a dilemma.😬😛

H.S. Scouting Report

PROJECTION

Power-5 Starter

COMPARISON

Bryce PerkinsLOS ANGELES RAMS

 

Good-sized dual-threat quarterback with adequate height and encouraging bulk for the position. Good testing numbers in the 40 and shuttle manifest in mobility on the field. Hurts defenses with legs, but prefers to buy time to find receivers. Bulk helps him drive ball to the perimeter when rolling to the right with his body. Consistently connects over the deep middle. Flashes encouraging velocity and drives the ball up the seam. Displays a smooth, natural delivery when there's time to set and throw, whether from read action or dropping. Shows good touch in vertical game with ability to drop balls on receivers outside the numbers. Could stand to tighten delivery and quicken release. Arm angle varies at times. Produces big numbers at the high school level but can still improve accuracy and consistency. Footwork can be more consistent. Sturdily built, productive QB who possesses requisite tools to develop into a Power Five starter.

Remember when Texas HS product Drew Brees had to shop himself out of the state of Texas because no D1 school in the Lone Star State (supposedly) did not offer him a scholarship?

What does that have to do with the guy that started game one for p5 Colorado this year?

The only possible way I'd concur with this is if it were Spring of 2017, and Mason Fine had already established himself as a Sophomore starter.  We really have no need for a transfer in that situation.  But in reality, we're pretty desperate for competent/capable QB play, so it would be best for NT to be aggressive with this guy.

If I'm a player, of course I'm shopping myself around, but if a program takes strong interest in me from the minute I hit the portal until the minute I sign, that helps me in my decision.   If 12 other schools excitedly reach out to me, and I'm the one who has to initiate contact with North Texas...  It kinda tells me they're not as interested as the other 12.

This thread sure does give a lot of love to a guy who couldn't hold the QB job at one of the worst P5s in the country...He's currently CU's 3rd QB.

When he got recruited his coach was Mel Tucker at that time and he looked good in the Alamo Bowl. Mel Tucker leaves and then they hire Karl Dorrell who basically butchered the offense. Lewis has always ran a West Coast Style offense since high school and Dorrell got canned by running a different style. 

[southsideguy]

Hey our qb coach could turn him around....wait we don't have a qb coach.

Since when does starting at a bad P5 matter? 🧐

Pretty sure a certain Memphis QB from Denton said he didn't consider UNT because we showed interest late. Something to that effect.

...

Lol.
There were about 500 threads here during the Spring & Summer that told us it matters a lot.

I guess if Lewis were to roll in here with a noticeable limp, it wouldn't matter.   Otherwise:

 

Come on home Brendon!

The poster I replied to specifically with that comment had been a big supporter of Aune over Gunnell for the reason of "what has he done here." It's always been about what the player has done here, completely disregarding pre-UNT play,  but all of a sudden we care about what happened elsewhere prior to UNT. Nobody gave Gunnell the benefit of what he'd done prior to UNT, not even before it was apparent he had a limp. Just wondering why Lewis is getting that benefit without knowing his health status and when statistically he wasn't any better at Colorado than Gunnell was at Arizona. 58% completion percentage in 2021 doesn't exactly scream upgrade.

What does it mean for North Texas signing it’s 20’th friggin ‘ QB to a scholarship?  Got a smart-ass answer for that? 

No sir.

My reply to Jim had nothing to do with Brendon Lewis being good or coming here and everything to do with not understanding the connection between Drew Brees trying to find a P5 scholarship and Lewis having one. I’m sorry for the confusion but I wasn’t saying Lewis would be the next UNT great. I think it’d be great for him to sign with us but once that happens I am still on the show me on the field at North Texas train. I am vehemently against handing someone the job because of what they did elsewhere.

Gotcha. I'll file this one under the "mind your own business" folder, then. 🤣

I'm not going to once again dig deeper into this Aune debate. I just hope when Aune leaves, he takes whatever dirt he apparently has on SL with him so the other QBs can have a real QB competition.
