Say what you want...Justin Willis is a very talented athlete and has set SMU's career passing touchdown record in just 2 seasons. He's also a Denton kid...and perhaps bringing him closer to home could help him with his personal problems and anger issues.

If Willis' days are over at SMU...he will find a team elsewhere willing to take a risk on him...why not us? Even if Gio and Riley have the QB position on lock there is nothing wrong with adding competition...or finding Willis a new position like WR or Safety.

And it'd be a big middle finger to SMU...you know...if he succeeds here.

Thoughts?

I really hope you were just trolling for reactions. You got it! If you were serious this has to be the most senseless question I've seen posted in a LONG time!

Absolutely not, not for one minute. We don't need a punk from SMU. We have a better caliber of players without their rejects! Think above SMU. That's where we have to believe and know we are!

Screw talent - this is a CLASS WAR!

I've missed you all.

IF he moves, I doubt he would come here. I assume that he would lose a year of eligibility to transfer (although if SMU kicks him off the team does that make him a free agent?), which would give him only one year to play, leaving him to compete in 2009 against Vizza, who will likely have two years in as a starter, and against the coach's son. Talk about a long shot to see playing time.

If Willis leaves SMU, I would think he takes the Bomar route and goes down a level to keep playing.

I would welcome Justin Willis to Denton: The Denton County Jail.

Is that your address. Saying stupid stuff like that, it should be. I just don't want him at NT.

PUT me down as a "NO"...I think we have better talented QB's on the roster right now and we have more coming. We do not need this type of problem...and Justin would definitely be a problem. NOPE....NO WAY. :disgust:

I'd like to go on the real record as saying no and that CBL was having some fun with everyone, but, for the sake of more conversation:

Willis in 2008!

Taste the rainbow!

I dont think he would come here regardless of what position he could play, but think of what could have been if a former QB had stuck with this program????

Left corner: Justin Willis

Right corner: Woody Wilson

Strong Safety: Bron Hager

Free Safety: Kartey Agbottah

Drunk in New Orleans: Medpilot21

GMG!!!

Justin Willis is not a punk. He may have made some poor off field decisions but he is not a bad person. We all hope he will do what it takes to be back in good standing in the Fall.

I know nothing about the character of Willis; but he is a heck of a football player, at least against NT. Without Willis, IMO NT would have easily won last year. NT doesn't need another QB, so I am not sure why this thread is relevant.

I suggest you read your own board. Here, I'll help:

Don't act like its SMU's fault that the "franchise QB" happens to be a punk...[/color]

I'm sorry the fella fell on hard times, really I am. I wish him the best, just not at UNT!

      This is what I call a “growth game.” This is the kind of game Hodge can use the film from to show the team the razor thin margin between winning and losing against the best teams in our league. If we are who we hope we are, our team walks away from this knowing we CAN beat anyone come conference tourney time, we just have to execute.

      plus let's not forget a Haggerty prayer from 30' going in. we're likely not into the foul game in the last minute or so without that bucket

      Great game, Memphis is a good team and this one came down to the end. However I am still baffled by UNT's inability to inbound the ball, this is a trend that has been going on for a few seasons now. There were several times today that they would inbound the ball directly into a corner trap, many of those instances resulted into a turn over.

      Mean Green Fall At No. 21 Memphis, 68-64

      The Mean Green (10-4, 1-1) got a career performance from senior big man Moulaye Sissoko who poured in a career-high 17 points on eight shots and grabbed a game-high eight rebounds in the four-point defeat. North Texas’ Brenen Lorient scored a team-high 18 points and was one of four different Mean Green players to score in double figures. Senior Jasper Floyd had 11 points to go along with a season-high six assists. UNT outrebounded the nationally ranked Tigers (12-3, 2-0) 30-21and forced them into 15 turnovers and just seven assists. “If you have told me we would force them into 15 turnovers and just seven assists and outrebound them by nine I would have really liked our chances,” said head coach Ross Hodge. “But it was that stretch in the second half where we didn’t handle their press well and we ended with 16 turnovers. We’ll regroup together and get better from this together.” The Mean Green have a quick turnaround as they host Rice on Wednesday at Super Pit at 8 p.m. CT. UNT is 8-0 at home this season. The game will be broadcast on the Mean Green Sports Network, presented by Learfield and ESPNU.

Fans can purchase tickets at www.meangreentickets.com or visit the UNT Athletics Ticket Office located at Gate 2 of DATCU Stadium between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
