I know that Keenan Flax is a major get and I'm very excited about it...but would he/we be best served if he redshirted? It seems that OL is one of the few "strength" positions that we have. Wouldn't having a guy who is this close to D1 ready go through strength training while we can afford to sit him be in everyone's best interest?

Time will tell on that one Emmitt. It probably would be best to redshirt him. Who's to say he won't set the world on fire?

More than likely he will be redshirted. I am anxious to see the type of competition he provides as a newbie. A good get nonetheless.

Seems like today from the practice blog that he was working with the 2nd team today...I know it is the first day of practice, but who knows.

I also noticed that the had him playing tackle...the tackle spot behind Gill...I know that Gill had what most will call a successful season, but it wasn't an all-conference season, and he is undersized...only moved up to 265 they said today...maybe Flaz moves into that spot and becomes a 4 year starter...who knows

All other things being equal, I think I would take two years more experience over an extra 10 lbs.

Wow! I'm vacationing in Montreal and have been traveling the last two days. I log in and find out that we have three new players! The news about Stradford sucks but this is great. I remember when Flax committed (was excited) and then de-committed (was pissed) last year. I guess I stopped following him then because I had no idea he never enrolled at Houston. For a minute, I thought I was reading an old thread. Anyway...great news on all three!! GMG.

My guess is that Dodge needs to win NOW to keep his job. If Flax is the best player at his position, my guess is he plays now.

That's what you get for vactioning in Montreal. The Mean Green news reel moves on. Good news indeed, though.

      PAC is back

      It's currently the PAC2, right? What would have to play out for American to pass the PAC2 in terms of performance, media rights, and perception? I have this wild idea that we all hold firm on where we are at, together, and make a concerted effort to figure out how to make this happen. Not that we become P4, just simply pass the PAC2 which seems pretty much dead as it stands.

      Ugh, hate that it’s even arguable we have another game as bad as Cal on our resume this season. Surely nothing more like that, right?

      UTSA and Traylor likely heading to Pac12

      You're not seeing the big picture. Whether we move or not, things will change. A lot of AAC schools close by? If UTSA, Tulane, and Memphis leave, who's left? Tulsa and Rice. Now how many AAC schools are close by? That's it. Two schools. So what are the options: join 3 of the close AAC schools in the PAC or stay with 2 of the close AAC schools in the AAC. My choice is easy. Seems we'll be left in the wind though. More visibility? I guess. Nobody is watching us as is. More money will allow us to keep developing the football program or maybe even start the baseball program to join an Oregon State baseball program who's made all but 3 NCAA tournaments since 2005.

      Wyoming Game Critical

      Rewording this to reflect how I feel about UNT: Be gentle and use lots of lube please. This Mean Green defense is way underperforming my expectation for a championship team and looks lost right now. I was cautiously optimistic to start the season but we are in big trouble with this DC and his 3-man front. You guys may be lost as a team, but our defense is so atrocious that I don't feel good about tomorrow at all.
