True.  And some of our players may think they are better than they actually are.

Did he see any playing time?  Transition to college life can be difficult.  Going forward we need to focus on the portal and recruiting HS players that can play as true freshman.  Redshirt years should be a thing of the past.

It’s funny how every time a player transfers people attribute it to the transfer portal, as if true freshmen haven’t been doing this forever. You’re pretty much guaranteed a true freshman quitting or transferring every year, as long as you’re signing normal-sized classes.

O-linemen are a whole different bag from skill positions.  You have to get them on an FBS strength and nutrition program and develop them.  Look at Alabama's 2-deep--they sign the best O-linemen in the country, but their 2-deep is mostly upperclassmen who have redshirted.

Four Syllables…Alabama.  I get what you are saying, but we do not have the luxury that Alabama enjoys.  We do have a true freshman starting on the OL so it’s not out of the question. I’m just saying get them on the field. Either they have something or they find out they don’t and need work.  We should be promising parents that their sons will have a degree in 4 years.

I saw that. Id suspect several players will begin transferring whether or not Littrell is fired. Rather just fire him now and let the ones who wanna go get out now so the next HC can figure things out fast..but that wont happen

Yes.  Let them all enter the transfer portal MONTHS before finding out who the new head coach would be that could possibly keep them here in Denton.  Makes total sense.

Alabama is exactly my point.  We don't have the luxury to sign the kind of players to make nearly the kind of immediate impact that an Alabama commit would make, which makes development all the more crucial for us.

      He could be a really good example of the rich getting richer if his draft stock stays low due to his age. Imagine a team like Dallas, Boston, Denver, or OKC getting him late in the first round and bringing his energy off the bench for the next few years. I'd hate for my team to go against him.

      Anyone else still rooting for Eric Morris?

      This could be our Deion Sanders hire or our Trent Dilder hire. Definitely could be a huge hit or a massive miss. If UNT wants a circus, I got my popcorn ready.

      Not a good day for the Big East either. These "ranked" teams losing big just show how unreliable early season rankings are. Wonder if UConn will be ranked after 3 straight loses.

      He’s the HC. Who’s to stop him from making the final decisions? He does it because he can and he’s got free reign. These are just some of the poor HC tactics he’s made. Regarding missing two FGs the last game, one was on the kicker and the other on EM. The second miss was due to the FH team getting out late. Probably coz he was unsure whether to go for it or not. Then he scoots the unit out late. You hate to rush things like that.

      AAC News: New Rice HC, Scott Abell

      I think running the triple option is a genius move by Rice. I’ve always wanted North Texas to do it and believe it will be even more effective in today’s NIL/transfer portal environment. If Rice gets a great triple option QB, he is less likely to be poached by the P4. Why would they need a triple option QB? Running the triple option, Rice can use smaller, more athletic offensive linemen who are easier to acquire and retain as these type of players are also in less demand by the P4. You do need good running backs, but this is the easiest position to acquire and many good running backs would be excited to play in this offense. A triple option offense also shortens a game and can give a “less talented” team a better chance to win by limiting the possessions and opportunities of the other team (See North Texas basketball) Good move by Rice. This differentiates them and I believe it will be successful. Maybe UNT’s next coach can bring the slot-T offense (which is wildly successful right now in Texas high schools) back to major college football?
