Per sources Arizona State transfer Tarik Luckett is in Denton for his OV to North Texas. Luckett has one remaining season of eligibility after spending one season as a backup cornerback at Arizona State. 

Playing in 11 games primarily on special teams, Luckett had five tackles with one pass breakup in 2022.

North Texas could be his fourth college. He started two games as a freshman at Colorado before later dropping down to Cisco College in Cisco, Texas, and later bouncing back up to the Pac-12 at ASU. 
 

The 6-foot-3, 205-pound Luckett started at cornerback against Stanford and UCLA for Colorado in 2019. He had eight tackles, two pass breakups and one quarterback hurry in that season.
 

In 2019 he was a four-star prospect as evaluated independently by 247Sports, No. 40 at wide receiver and No. 40 in California.

6'3 is a tall corner. Plus he's a former receiver? Definitely would be good against bigger guys and jump balls. Texada is amazing but gets outmuscled, and Davis is bigger but an unknown with his injury. Definitely could help us

Sounds a lot like the typical P5-to-NT transfer.

Probably be a backup here also.

Exciting!  Hope we land him.

Which is more exciting that he’s been a backup his entire college career or that we will be his fourth school?

A backup who signed with ASU last season when they were losing all 4 starters in the secondary and still didn't crack the two deep. What about the WR who averaged ~50 yards receiving per game at an FCS school we got last week? Aren't yall fired up? 

I won't be as pessimistic as I was at the end of the Littrell era but I reserve the right to be critical about the fact that other than a handful of recruits so far, it's more of the same from the Littrell era, we are hoping their evaluations are correct and they're better at finding diamonds in the rough than other staffs..

With the amount of injuries in college football, I welcome any depth.

My concern is the same as it was with all of our other coaches (which was why I wanted Fuente because he's done it at our level😞 I fear they're under-estimating the level of football we (as well as our opposition) play.   These coaches are thinking they can succeed at the G5 level with P5 leftovers & FCS level guys...  it's just proven over & over to be untrue here.  And for every successful story like Mazin Richards and Riley Mayfield who can step up to play at our level from FCS or below, there are 20 Devonte McCrae's & Amani Gilmore's that we get from P5 schools who severely underperform.

I would rather go after a JUCO that has contributed the last year or two instead of a portal player that hasn't cracked the two-deep.

This is my thought, too.  I’m assuming all of the coaches are communicating with eachother to review film, indentify strengths, needs of the team, etc. Welcome to the Mean Green, Tarik!

 

I hope so. In 11 games last year he had five tackles and broke up one pass.

      Two more home games before students are back, then hopefully the athletic department is going all out to try to compete with last year's record-breaking numbers.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      In traditional professional football, when teams pay players and have a losing season, the teams still make $$$ and turn a profit. Thus they can afford to continue to pay players. In today’s college football, when boosters pay players NIL and the team has a losing season, the boosters lose money AND they don’t get to experience the joy of being associated with a winner. Will those boosters keep donating NIL? Do you have to find new boosters? Don’t you eventually run out of boosters? Just don’t see how this NIL model is sustainable. Rich people didn’t get rich by losing money and I don’t see how you can keep asking them to do that via NIL. The revenue sharing model WILL work and it will be interesting to see what percentage of revenue is ultimately allocated to labor. The NBA gives 51% of gross revenue to players. The other major professional leagues give less. But why would colleges give players anything close to that? College players are infinitely replaceable. People root for their school and as a consequence of that, root for the players competing for that school. But if the Top 100 players in college football disappeared overnight, would the popularity of the sport suffer at all? I don’t think it would. Offer the players minimum wage, make them sign binding contracts with buyouts and non-competes (assuming you can still enforce those: that is another rabbit hole). NIL will still exist but won’t be as big of a deal because of the contracts and buyouts. If a players thinks he is too good for this system, they can start their own football league or wait until they are eligible for the NFL. Why wouldn’t this work?

      I don’t know how much they care. It’s like monopoly money. Many of them are just borrowing from Uncle Sam and hoping they don’t have to pay it back.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Did you believe Alabama would be uncompetitive vs Oklahoma? What about OSU vs Tennessee? Did you think TCU would get absolutely nuked by Georgia a few heads ago AFTER beating #4. Michigan? Blowouts happen every year in we den the 4 team playoff. They mean little.
