This is deeply saddening news.  A starter on the oline?  And this late in the cycle? Wow what is going on up there?

Not starting and I don’t think he was in the two deep. I was always curious about him being a random recruit out of KY.

I think Mainord coached his brother at Kentucky. JD probably knows better, but I think that was the connection.

I think Colorado is up to 55 in the portal now? This includes guys Deion brought with him from Jackson State. I'm sure there will be plenty to choose from to fill in roster spots if needed.

You have to wonder when the NCAA modified the rule to allow additional signings up to the 85 limits if they even imagined that someone would take it to this extreme in a worst-case scenario. I wonder if there will be any changes coming up?

I wonder if his size played a role in not making the 2 deep. I mean look at Jett Duncan. He started every game at right tackle last year and is now at center.

All of our lineman outside of Daizion Carroll are 6'2" plus. This staff might be valuing that length/frame more than Littrell's

It's a business now. Until the 2023 season starts in a few months, Deion and the circus in Boulder will continue to demand media coverage. I'm sure the powers don't mind that at all even at the expense of kids trying to parlay years of work into a free education. If he succeeds, there won't be any changes. It's a damn shame. I'm all for kids transferring and coaches having more control over their rosters but the way Deion is doing things is just plain wrong.

I agree with you.  He is treating these young men like cattle.

I seem to recall Coach Littrell saying he wasn't worried about recruiting grades or size.  He felt like his group of coaches would be able to "coach them up."

Well hold on now, it is ok for kids to leave rosters to chase $$ and leave gaps in the depth chart at inopportune recruiting times but not ok for coaches to take advantage of that same system? This is the new college athletics. Good players will be bought off by the highest bidders and unsuccessful players will be sent off to look for success elsewhere.  You are telling me if you were coaching here, it wouldn’t bother you at all to have a Josh Greer type occupying one of your scholarships for 4 years while knowing he will never make a meaningful positive impact on your football program?

I was thinking the same thing. If it's okay for the players to walk away, why shouldn't the coach be able to release them? I would prefer that if coaches are cutting them, it should be before the Spring semester starts or within 30 days of hiring a new head coach.

The way he’s doing it is wrong.  I have no doubt that Coach Morris has had hard conversations with kids about where they fit in at UNT moving forward.  Couple of big differences:  1) He didn’t come here during his first meeting with the team telling players they needed to leave…and filming it to be broadcast.  2) He had these conversations after being here and having a chance to get to know the players and seeing where they might fit in…and he did it behind closed doors.

I’m anti-portal for the most part.  Bottom line is there seems to be very few rules regarding the portal.  
 

Good Lord what a hypothetical you threw out there.  I’ll have Josh Greer nightmares tonight.🤣🤣

A statue QB from Navarro JC. Rumor has it, his sister is still waiting at Apogee for someone to bash his name.

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      NIL was a horrible idea that continues to destroy competition in sports I don't see how anyone blames this mess on the athletes. Sure they are going to do what is best for them, perfectly understandable. The NCAA should fight NIL, but apparently the leadership is a lot more interested in protecting the status quo and players than to listening to the fans.

      Vito kicking UNT in the nuts again

      I don’t believe Vito hates UNT. Why should he sugar-coat the truth in his articles? Just win will help. I bet Vito hates participation trophies. Good job Brett!

      Vito kicking UNT in the nuts again

      Vito is lost in sports writer hell. He lives by the standard that it is the job of sport writer to be neutral. I imagine he is as tired of covering NT as a lot of NT fans are tired of his coverage. He is lucky in a way that the DRC is still one of the few newspapers that still exist. He has won a lot of awards, not only because he is a competent writer; but there is little competition.

      2025 Projected Depth Chart

      I know this is still subject to change, but with a lot of transfers signed I figure we have enough to get a pretty good idea on what our depth chart will look like next year. This includes all scholarship players and walkons who are in the depth chart. Did my best guess based on Sam Houston’s positions listed on their defensive depth chart (12 spots based on the packages) and where our guys were listed, as well as their guys who we are bringing over. Took some best guesses with guys who weren’t in the two deep/newcomers. Save your comments about how the transfer portal sucks and this could change so much between now, etc. That was always the case this many months out, but we have a pretty good idea based on the guys who actually play or we are bringing in. The bottom of the depth chart guys leaving is expected but doesn’t really change things. Asterisk indicates newcomer: Z - JR Landon Sides RS FR Kyle Koch RS FR Mason Ferguson *FR Tyler Smith Y - SO Miles Coleman X - *SR Cameron Dorner RS FR Baron Tipton H - SO Wyatt Young JR Dalton Carnes LT - *RS SR Jimto Obidegwu RS SO Keon Johnson RS FR Christian Pettway FR Jordan Reasonover LG - SO Braydon Nelson RS FR Paul Gurrola C - RS SR Gabe Blair RS FR Amarion Berry RG - RS JR Johnny Dickson RS SO Julio Madero RS FR Matthew Reed RT - RS SR Larry Moore RS SO Desmond Magiya RS SO Isaac Sohn *FR Roberto Rodriguez TE - SO Brandon Young *SR Tre Williams RS SR Xzavior Kautai *RS SO Connor Vaughn RS FR Victor Aderungboye QB - *SR Reese Poffenbarger RS FR Drew Mestemaker RS FR Cash McCollum *FR Chris Jimerson RB - SR Damashja Harris *JR Jayden Becks RS SO Makenzie McGill SO Kiefer Sibley JR Zach Evans RS FR Ashton Gray *FR Caleb Hawkins Defense DE - SR Breylon Charles *RS SO Demetrie Morgan *RS FR Josh Pierce NT - *JR Quincy Wright SO Jayden Williams SR VJ Bronson DT - *RS SR Richard Outland RS SR Fehi Vailea RS FR Jaedon Langley JACK - *SR Briceon Hayes RS FR Zhaiylen Scott *RS FR Will Smith *FR Brayden Knox SLB - RS JR Ethan Wesloski RS SR Chavez Brown *RS SO S’maje Burrell MLB - *SR Trey Fields RS SO JJ Jean-Louis WLB - SR Shane Whitter SO Kabriel Anderson-Dale FS - *SR DJ Warnell Jr JR BJ Allen RS FR Chris Gant SS - JR Evan Jackson SO Quinton Hammonds RS FR Jaydon Smith RS SR Isheem Young NB - *RS SR Da’Veawn Armstead RS SO Taylor Starling RCB - *RS SR David Fisher RS SO Kollin Lewis RS FR Gabe Stroud LCB - RS SO Brian Nelson JR X’Avion Brice K - RS SO Kali Nguma JR Blake Ford RS FR Miguel Arenas P - SR Sawyer Evans SR Seth Ford
