Yes! Finally, Some F*&@$#! Good News!

[Dodge2007]

Great news for Coach George and Dodge and Dodge. Gonna have some players that are on scholarship instead of so many non schollies getting critical minutes

[greenjoe]

I think North Texas is the new OU

Welcome.

[UNT Mean Green]

Awesome news. The guy looks legitimate on video, and has a good frame. I like the 6'2" and 4.41 40yd part; not to mention the fact that every day in practice he was going up against mostly NFL-caliber DB's and OLB's.

Where is our truck load of bail-out money? That's what I want to know.

Stradford reminds us a little of former Eagles WR Todd Pinkston in terms of build, speed and overall skills, but lets hope that Stradford is tougher.

Yes lets hope he isn't the 2nd coming of Todd Stinkston

[Stan R]

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

Also, his bro.

:lol:

Here is one of this profile pictures from his facebook page:

I'm guessing Bill Utter Ford had a major role in this.

[Rudy]

Really? He quit on OU? He didnt play last season. Sounds like OU quit on him. And noone is mad cause Vizza left NT, we're mad in the way he did it. He was our starting QB who left out of the blue in the twilight of recruiting. Please take off your Gio kneepads, or go down to College Station. He will have time for you since he lost his love for football.

Im glad to be picking up this kid. Sounds like a great find. Im looking forward to seeing him.

[MeanGreenEagle]

I'm hoping that there is a loop hole that could get this kid on the field in the fall. I remember Tech had a DT from Miami that didn't have to sit out a year.

Yeah - if he projects to ONLY an average pro wide receiver, then f him. He has no place at North Texas.

Easy there, Paul Blart. I think a few people are just having fun with the situation.

[Rudy]

Sometimes I wonder.

Great pickup tho.

Not bad.

[GoMeanGreen1999]

I am going to predict that this kid never plays a down for us. We shall see.

[emmitt01]

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.

Can you name another "sure thing" receiver from our team last year that wasn't Casey Fitzgerald? (Yes, I know it means Dodge might have screwed the pooch on a bunch of the WR's he brought in) I can't either so I think we still need to grab a few of them.

Ummm...sorry to bring down the room

[UNT90]

I agree on getting more DTs.

On the other hand, we lost several WRs due to injury, defection, and graduation. It isn't like we don't need 10+ good WRs with this offense.

In 2008, 10 different receivers caught passes.

Wrong, 9 different receivers and one quarterback.

[Travis]

you are absolutely right. he wasn't a wr last year.

I'm guessing J.L. Huffines had a major role in this?

[UNT90]

you are absolutely right. he wasn't a wr last year.

He'll always be a quarterback in my book. Or maybe a nickelback, with his size.

Don't jump down my throat. I'm only kidding!

Nice to see positive strides being made with this recruiting class. I'm starting to feel like an 80 year old man that just discovered Viagra.

[Keith7]

Stinkston was the alligator arms king and definitely not an average receiver.. don't believe me? wikipedia the dude

Whew. Thanks for pulling us out of the gutter.

Here is the only part I care about re: Pinkston's bio:

At The University of Southern Mississippi, he graduated as the school's second all-time leading receiver with 149 catches for 2,366 yards and 22 touchdowns, including 48 receptions for 977 yards and 11 TDs as a senior. Despite his success, Pinkston's selection in the second round of the 2000 NFL Draft by the Eagles raised some eyebrows due to his slight build. At 6 feet 2 inches tall, Pinkston reportedly weighed only 167 pounds at the time of the draft.

Not earth-shattering, but I'd take it.

Thats all well and good, but where's the beef?
