So if he’s like Chandler Morris we’re good with another one and done quarterback leading us to a 6-6 record? There’s not a point of any high school quarterbacks ever signing with UNT. It seems like we’re just gonna go get a one and done quarterback that leads us to a 5-7 record or 6-6 record. This is our future. 

Chris Jimerson Jr., 3-4 year starter, North Crowley HS.

Jimerson will be a receiver at UNT. At 5’8 165 pounds not playing QB.

If he wanted to be a WR he'd do it at one of his P4 WR offers.

There's nothing wrong with an average D.

I guess we'll see over the next couple of years.  I have a feeling that Jimerson is coming to UNT expecting to compete and play at the QB spot.  His HUDL says 5'11" but that's likely exaggerated 🙂  The guy can sure heave the ball downfield and has excellent speed.

I mean isn’t the plan that Cassidy comes in from SH, installs a system that makes more sense for our personnel, brings a few key players from there as well, and at least makes the defense marginally better? Then you pair that with another prolific QB plugged into our system that can run our offense effectively - which is exactly what this kid looks to be - And profit?

If that doesn’t work then Morris is probably looking for another gig at the end of the year. 

Morris will hit on the right recipe for offense/defense soon.  When he does and we go 10-3 he will move up...as well as the players.

I think UNT has two very talented freshman on the roster currently in Drew and Cash. Bringing in a veteran who has experience shouldn’t be viewed as a bad thing. It allows the two freshman to continue to be developed by Morris and Brophy who continue to prove they are two of the best in the country. They are on a great run with Mahomes, Ward, Mateer, Rogers, Morris. Throwing the two young guys into the fire could do a lot more harm than good. I hope neither hit the portal and continue to grow and progress.

Put him on the field as well as a WR/QB. 

Two dual-threat QBs on the field at the same time!   Really stress a defense!

I get your point of course .   But the current system still sucks. I practically grew up on the SMU campus and played a lot at old Ownby, but I’m a die hard UNT fan.  The problem for me now is that the school doesn’t matter anymore .  It’s just about who spends the most money.  And that’s ok, it’s the American way.  I miss the days of Dandy Don playing  in University Park and Mean Joe kicking butt in old Fouts…and I think the hot dogs and beer were better then too !  So yeah, I get your point.

True, don't hate the player, but hate the game. Either UNT stops worrying about everyone else, (SMU) or gets left in the dust. This is a great addition!

I hope he adds about 15-20 pounds of muscle this off-season. He's a hell of a QB.

EM better be saying that same thing to them, on the daily.    'trust the process' is so overused but in this case.....trust the process.

He was going to be their starter until ....Cam Ward withdrew from the draft and went to the highest bidder. This is great pick up!

I feel like I've heard this about every single transfer P5 QB we've ever had.

Time will tell, and Reese may start... but honestly, in Morris' system, I've got my eye/hopes on another guy.

Not one person ever  said Alex Morris was going to be the starter at Alabama.

Lol.  I get it, and I appreciate you JayD, but...

It took me about 30 seconds to search for this:

Remember Grant Gunnell?  Jace Ruder?  Admittedly, no one was saying this type of thing about Amani Gilmore, but that's about it.

So many saviors came...

Again, time will tell.  And at least he has a track record of success on the field at Albany...  But I like Jimerson.

Would it help if you looked at him as the top passer in the FCS transferring in?

Yes.   His time at Albany is the only thing that gives me pause/hope that he's more than a JAG.

The way college football is now, it’s a good acquisition.  I think we are fortunate to have secured someone with his experience in the current state college football is in. He could quite possibly give UNT a winning season and mentor an up and comer as well as provide some leadership. 
As far as the portal is concerned, it wouldn’t surprise me if players being paid are required to sign a contract at some point. Why not?

If a quarterback we recruit from high school puts up Chandler 1 or Chandler 2 numbers at UNT, he's also going to be one-and-done.

this is a sad fact that North Texas is faced with. it put pressure on the head coach to keep finding that next great QB to rise the program to get to a point were players want to stay. 

 

I really think with the Offence system we run is a plug and play. like always it comes down to defense. i get more excited about defense pick ups . 

 

Defense wins championships
