Just saw this on Twitter.   Trying to rekindle the Mason Fine magic ?    McElvain has been listed anywhere between 5'9" and 5'10:.     Lost the UNI starting QB position this season to a Michigan State transfer.    North Texas appears to be the first FBS offer.   He has 7 FCS offers right now.

I don't give AF where he is from. Can he run the offense and make the right reads? Aune has made a few decent passes this year, but he is not the answer long term. Come to North Texas and you could light up the scoreboard for us.

His film doesn't look bad and looks like he has some nice speed, but are we really offering FCS players who lost their job??  Looks like he had a good RS freshman season, then struggled in his sophomore year (938 yards and 1 passing TD in 5 starts) before losing his job this year.  I guess the potential is there but looking at the big picture this offer doesn't excite me.

Yeah, I’d much prefer a P5 4 star transfer w/ multiple years of eligibility and only lost his position because of a generational QB.

I wonder if the staff is anticipating a string of transfers at the QB position. Does Gilmore go somewhere else to play, or maybe even change positions? Can’t imagine him just sticking at QB here as the 4th string guy for 3 more years. Is this Martin’s last season? Does Ruder come back?

All that to say, we might need to add two transfer QBs this offseason so we have a full room.

Who is here to develop them?

Big game Seth watched a weeks worth of film, saw him play at Apogee stadium, and STILL didn't even attempt to offer Bailey Zappe. He wouldn't know a good quarterback if one threw a ball at him from 60 yards away that landed between his eyes. I know his OC from HBU and several teammates ended up at WKU, and that had to have been a factor. However, the fact that we didn't even try, and he signed off on Jace Ruder says it all.

Zappe has thrown for 4000+ yards, 42 touchdowns, and 7 interceptions this year...

No disrespect to this young man but we need to aim higher in the transfer portal. Or if we're going after an FCS quarterback let it be a player like Zappe who had three seasons of great production under his belt.

Once it was known the OC was going to WKU, Zappe and the receivers where not going anywhere else. Would it had made you feel better if we offered knowing there was not a chance?

How do you know this? He's from Texas we could have tried.

At the time this all happened BZ and the receivers all basically hit the portal at the same time to follow their OC to WKU. At the time there were comments BZ felt staying in the same system with receivers he knew would give him his best shot at the next level.

Since Seth can't find a QB coach that's worth a damn since Harrell left, maybe he's hoping he can get a guy that's already developed? 

Still need to be able to coach them. Reference Ruder. Hard to believe he has dropped as far as it seems he has from the reports of his time at UNC.

I don't think Ruder has necessarily lost it, but that he was rushed in to the starting job when he wasn't ready.

Hope you are right. Would really like to see an experienced QB coach to work with our guys

      In fairness that was a Big 12 vs Big 12 affair.

      Kind of pathetic. A program that looks down on us they refuse to play us and have a guaranteed good attendance turnout for an early season out of conference home game, dominates our board in mentions. I am not for blanket cencorship of all things SMU. But when a topic is exclusively about what SMU has or hasn't done that doesn't directly involved a former Mean Green Coach, Athletic Department Employee or Player it should be removed.

      I'll be there. How is everyone feeling as we enter conference play? Overall I'm feeling good. We are 2nd in NET in the conference. The two best publicly available models, KenPom and Bart Torvik, have us as the 2nd best team in conference and finishing that way. Our defense has been really good; it's actually better than last season. The biggest improvement is in the defensive rebounding. We are pulling down 74.8% of defensive boards compared to 68% last year. Of course the team isn't without concerns. Although we start the same lineup every game, we haven't found a consistent closing one. There isn't a 'go to' scorer. The shot creation and/or shooting has been lacking in long stretches. So far our adjusted offensive efficiency is the lowest it's been since the 2019 season, but I don't think (hope) it will necessarily stay that way. I'd be disappointed if we don't finish at least top 4 in conference. The conference, as others have noted in many threads, just isn't as good as last season. Last season there were 4 other teams in the top 100 of KenPom and 7 in the top 150. This season there are 2 other teams in the top 100 and 5 in the top 150. Last year in conference we played 3 Q1 games and 5 Q2 games; this year we're projected to play 1 Q1 game and 3 Q2 games. A top 4 finish in conference means that we would need to win 3 games in Ft. Worth to go to the big dance. That's always the dream. The NIT as the consolation prize wouldn't be bad either. Could we host a NIT game again? Last year Indiana St., Princeton, and Bradley hosted opening round games. That would be a fun atmosphere.
