Who would’ve guessed that we got a QB commit and we’d have people who didn’t like the move. If Patrick Mahomes walked through that door we’d have fans saying it’s a bad move

Pavia Morris should have taken those nil deals and we shouldn't burn any NIL money on an oft injured player when we are poor. It just seems like a UNT move to misallocate NIL funds. I don't know

Give me one reasonable target you would have rather us signed? Signing a QB that won starting job in the Big 12 2 years in a row and has two years of eligibilty seems like a pretty good win to me

This guy actually played at a P5 program…and started multiple years. How some are questioning this move is beyond me. Just be happy he chose to play here instead of another school. If he was the #1 target for Eric Morris, I’m certain he’ll put QB Morris’s talents on display this season. 
 

Just wondering…who would’ve been the choice between the Vanderbilt QB Seals and TCU Morris? Mine is Morris.

I mean he is out of eligibility so we would likely get sanctioned by the NCAA. I would call that a bad move.

Wasn’t Seals also in the transfer portal?

I don’t get the negativity at all. Both Morris and Pavia were guys I’d have been thrilled with. Morris seems like an ideal fit for our system though. His career completion percentage is excellent. Should have a very effective offensive line and running game with all the weapons we added to those position groups to help take pressure off and protect him. Super excited to see him run this offense.

For Coach Morris to land the top (attainable) QB transfer target on my list - very impressed. Now let’s get a few DL transfers and do something next season!

Have to keep him upright and healthy. 

My thoughts exactly.  

On a related matter. I had never heard of T.J. Finley before watching him in the bowl game. I thought "DAMN, now THERE is the perfect NT QB"....real big, strong armed, mobile, and almost indestructible.

This kind of mindset is why NT fans should never expect anything more.  A 9-win season every once in a while, sandwiched between a bunch of 5 or 6-win seasons (or worse!).

Forgive some of us if we’re only “somewhat satisfied” instead of “very impressed”.   “Very impressed” would be for Cam Ward to come to Denton instead of Miami.

Morris lost his job on a struggling team to a true Freshman.  We’d better hope Cash McCollum is the real deal.

I know you're a great Mean Green fan, but really hope that someday you're able to get rid of your hate for anything Coach Morrison seems to do.

Morris lost the job because he was injured and when he was ready to return, TCU season was already lost. Morris had a better completion percentage, QB rating, yards per attempt, TD to INT ratio, rushing stats. They also weren’t winning games with Hoover either.

I know you’re plugged in enough to get that the very top flight QB’s in the transfer portal are not going to G5 schools. At the top end it’s purely an NIL play for those guys. Still lots of good talent at QB - we happened to get one I think. There is a strata, like it or not, about what type of player is “attainable” for non-P5 programs with the portal/NIL. Don’t like it but it doesn’t change reality.

0 chance a guy like Cam Ward is coming to Denton off a season like he just had and the interest garnered on the open market. Miami is paying dudes serious cash now.

Give me a realistic “Come to Denton Cam” pitch.

Sit the bar pretty high there sir. Hopefully you don’t sit the bar that high for everything in life. You are going to live a life full of disappointment.

Honestly, of the Chandlers, I would have preferred to keep Rogers. Call me crazy... but I expect Stone to start at least some stretch of the 24 season

Better than all of the season

I am happy that we now have Morris as our quarterback and our offense “complete”.  Our offense has really never been the problem, it is our defense, literally the worst in the nation. There is a reason that they say defense wins championships and we don’t have one.  Let’s hope that changes!

We don't exactly have the best track with P5 QB transfers named Morris.  Let's hope this one fares a little better.

I assume you're talking about Alec Morris?  It's not like he was a bust.  It's just that Mason Fine exploded on the scene.

And if the same thing happens with next fall's P5 transfer and new freshman on the scene, I'll be just fine with it.

One of the biggest mistakes Seth ever made was burning Mason’s red shirt. We win the bowl game Morris is MVP!

Are you fn kidding me? If the next Morris comes in and loses to another freshman like the first time, I think we’d be alright!

TCU chose Ken Seals with two years of eligibility left. 

I hope we made the right choice. I’ll be rooting for both Chandler and Ken next year.

Morris injured his MCL. 

Being “impressed” would be to do something we weren’t expecting (in a good way).  “Very impressed” would be beyond that.   Maybe I just have a different definition of that than others.

 

The most important ability is availability.


I’m rooting for Morris & Morris.

If Seth doesn’t burn that redshirt we don’t even get to 5 wins that season to be able to back in to the bowl game on APR.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
