"Henigan, who has started since his true freshman season, will be the rare quarterback to start four years at one university. Silverfield said other schools tried to pluck Henigan from his roster last season, but after discussion, it was clear to both sides that nothing needed to change.

"We were very candid with one another, very transparent like him and I have always been," Silverfield said. "I think loyalty is getting harder to find in college football."

Speaking of loyalty and continuity: Silverfield is in his ninth year at Memphis, having joined Mike Norvell's staff in 2016 as an offensive line coach."

Refreshing to see a talented young college athlete who is obviously more than a Pavlovian jock drooling after every dollar that drifts by.

So the fact that he went to another school is evidence that we didn’t “try that hard” to get him?

Usually we see some fanfare about big recruits we go after, especially QBs. So yeah, I don't think they tried that hard.

Pretty bold assumption.

Some;  but Memphis?  That's not most kids dream location or school.

Maybe he went to our last of 4 straight New Orleans bowls, and watched them whip out arses, with Danny wimprine at qb.  
 

or maybe he’s a good friend of Darrel Dickey, and he hated how it ended here, but loved seeing him revitalize his career at Memphis.

or he thought he there was no way he was going to beat out number 1 pick Jason Bean before he transferred.  
 

we will never know. 
 

Also, we should be more upset that we didn’t go after Kaiden Salters when he got in trouble at Tenn. he’s from the metroplex, btw.

      Time to go back to North Texas State?

      “North Texas” has and will always be part of our name. There is nothing small-time about North Texas. It represents a very big area. No one questions the name “Southern California” either. The Flying Worm is unique and special just like the name Mean Green. The University of North Texas Mean Green with the Flying Worm logo sets us apart and is easily identifiable. It is a strong brand.

      HS Target ‘25: SF, DJ Thomas

      Hopefully he may contribute 16-20 minutes per game by year 3. His physique passes the eye test but he is not the big time recruit to get excited about. He played AAU ball with DJ Hall (Southern Assault) of undefeated/state champion Plano East Panthers. They appear to be good friends as well. Hall is a 6-6 beast around the basket and more impressive(though his recruiting list is not much better). I think we will have 8 positions to fill in the 2025 class so I'm ok with his potential.

      Interesting story. Thanks. I remember brief talk of “Texas State” back then. It did have some appeal compared to NTSU.

      DATCU stadium

      I'll repeat the reports of food running out. Specifically, I and others had to wait on fries and/or chicken strips. It was going to be a couple of minutes for frys (no biggie), but 10 minutes for chicken strips?!?! Maybe it was simply bad luck and timing. Also, the Cokes (Mr. Pibb) tasted odd. Tried two places. Seemed like the syrup was turned down. Possibly another form of shrinkflation. I appreciate they still have the free refills. Although it wasn't hot, I like the presence of the water stations. Cool water should be available to event patrons w/o having to buy a $4 bottle of water and these stations are much better than a simple water fountain. Good job.

      DATCU stadium

      I was irritated that the band didn't wear uniforms given the nice weather UNTIL I saw the combined event at halftime with the other HS bands that weren't in uniform. I think that made for a better integrated environment, so I gave them a pass on the decision.
