This came form out of no where for me, I had no idea we were even looking at this guy. anyone else know about this?

This guy was a 3-star WR when 0U picked him up. Had offers from So. Miss, LA tech, UConn, and Memphis.

6'3" and 180, sounds good to me. Three years also sounds good to me. I did not have any idea about this happening either.

Looks like a great pickup. Will he have to sit out a year?

Nope. Looks like he already sat out, and UNT got the kid's release.

This is not good news..... It is EXCELLENT news..... Especially a three-star WR.

Hopefully this leads to more excellent news, this program needs it.

I don't want this kid...he quit on OU.

Here's Stradford's 2007 Rivals page, with video highlights. If you look at his senior highlights, you'll see a good grab around the 32 second mark.

Exactly. I share your outrage.

Mean Green 93-98 · January 22, 2009

Yes, OU clearly was depending on him as their leader.

Green P1 · January 22, 2009

no no no.... You've got it backwards. It's the OU fan's job to downgrade the quitter. It's our job to welcome the transfer.

At the end of the article:

Addendum: Stradford will sit out the 2009 season and play in 2010 as per the NCAA in-division transfer rule.

Oh, yeah, wow. Another wide receiver. Just what we need. You should always use a schollie on a WR instead of finding a DT, shouldn't you.

Really? I would have thought sitting out for a year already would have allowed him to play. Oh well, still a GREAT pickup.

Prove they weren't.

NCAA rules make a transfer going laterally in classification to sit out a season...just remember names like Greg Garden (Navy), Evan Fentriss (Rice) and Donte Neal (Mizzou). They all had to sit out before playing here.

You're the one claiming a parallel. You have the burden of proof.

I"m going to need to hear from his father first.

Also, his bro.

I made no claims short of saying he quit on OU. He still has eligibility and he left the program, thus I'm not interested in his services for fear he may do it to UNT, based on history.

You're the one who made the assumption that I was drawing parallels...and in doing so made a statement which I would ask for you to back up.

So you were not trying to draw any parallels with him and Giovanni Vizza's leaving UNT? I apologize then, I misunderstood what you were saying. But obviously I was not the only one who made the same assumption.
