Rumors About Lake Dallas Qb

[saysojoe]

I've been told by a few from Lake Dallas that last years QB CHASE BAINE from a very strong playoff team wants to come play football for the MEAN GREEN. He was offered "ships" from Navy and Air Force last year but did not want the 5 year tour of duty after. He is a two sport guy who signed to play baseball for Sam Houston State. The coaches from LD say he misses football and wants to play receiver or D-back. Hope TD looks at him. Maybe a walk-on tryout and let him earn a "SHIP".

I saw this kid twice last year. GREAT athlete!!

[saysojoe]

I was told he went to the Western Kentucky game and stayed the whole game. Made his mind up then he wanted play football again and play for the MEAN GREEN!!!!! I think that says alot.

Heck, after sitting through that entire game, I deserved a ship.

Anybody who's a good player and sat through that game deserves a look.

Is he going to transfer to NT in the Spring?

[NTEX1990]

i heard the same thing, must be true - watched several ld games the last few years, the kid was pretty good. need him and the running back jason hill to come to denton.

Forget more QB's and Rb's; we need defensive and offensive linemen in the worse way. Dodge needs to come down to SE Texas and recruit some "big uglies". We grow 'em down here as tall as old oak trees. And just as tough.

[saysojoe]

Yes he is transferring to UNT for the spring....... From what I understand his dad and grandfather are both North Texas ALUM.....

I'm with you DeepGreen! Unless the kid is 6-4, 280 and can rush the passer, I'd pass!

Understand what we need also Cooley and Deep Green....but Ive seen him play also....he reminds me of the "MIGHTY JOHNNY QUINN"... that type player is worth a look!!!

[H-towngreen]

This kid would most likely be a walk on, so it's not like we're giving up a ship for this kid. Why not try him out?

Graduated from high school with his dad. He is a great player. His dad was our quarterback in high school, went to tech to play quarterback, then finished his degree at UNT. His grandparents probably havent missed a nt home football game in 30 years.

This link has some info on him. Dodge must know something about him he attended his QB camp.

No scholly, no big deal. Line him up and see if he can play DB.

[saysojoe]

I found some stuff on the DMN website.

All Dist receiver soph year

All Dist QB jr year 694 yrds rushing 1471 yrs passing

Offensive MVP 9-4a Sr. year 1331 rushing 1688 passing

38 TD for both years

5184 total yards

HE COULD BE OUR NEXT "FITZ" A WALK ON THAT EARNS HIS WAY.

I wish him luck!!!

[SilverEagle]

I'm all for us having as many overachievers on our squad as possible. We could use another JQ, or James Mitchell.

My question is will he be eligible to play in the fall of 2008.

[NTEX1990]

bring em on - really surprised he didnt play football in the first place. never realized his stats were that good - rarely see a QB reached those type of running stats unless they never throw the ball. the more athletes the better - Dodge will find a place for him to contribute

[GreenBat]

My question is will he be eligible to play in the fall of 2008.

Yes, if he was not on scholarship to play football at his previous school. Just like Latif Nurudeen, who was a WALK-ON last year at Baylor. He was eligible this season because he was not on a football scholarship.

[saysojoe]

I believe your right.......If he was not on football scholy.... he could play this fall.

Mean Green 2008 looking better everyday!!!!!!!!

[NTEX1990]

CONFIRMED HE WILL BE ATTENDING STARTING NEXT SEMESTER AS A WALK ON TRYING TO EARN A RIDE. ANOTHER FINE ATHLETE LOCALLY THAT SHOULD CONTRIBUTE IN SOME WAY.
