Joe Minden Is Tearing It Up

All About UNT · December 4, 2010

Over 270 yds in the 1st half against nationally #1 Trinity. He wants to go to school here....someone offer him already. Watch it on channel 21

:49 seconds left. Coppell up 40-35, but Trinity is driving down the field, and is around 30 yards from the endzone. Game is still on TXA 21.

3 seconds left...Trinity on the Coppell 1 yard line. 1 play to win the game.

Man, give me Joe Minden and Cooper Jones and I won't care about any JUCO QBs. Both are rated 5.5 by Rivals, the highest rated unsigned players left on the board.

Wow! Great game!

Great game. Coppell played a hell of a game against a much bigger team and had them on the ropes. But why in hell pooch kick the last kickoff there with a 4 point lead with three minutes to go, with a kicker that could kick it out of the stadium? Horrible decision that gave Trinity a shorter field they didn't need simply handed to them.

OK, Jack, we expect you to know these kind of things now, right? :unsure: :blink:

Could he start as a freshman or do you RS?

GMG!

I don't know his GPA but I'd wager that he's already qualified.

I'd redshirt him unless both Dodge and Thompson go down. But first he'd have to beat out Cooper Jones which might be no slam dunk.

I have to ask....what is it with Cooper Jones? I don't even see u comparing the two. This kid just raked in yardage on the #1 team in the nation??

Jones is just a diamond in the rough. He's from a small town and probably hasn't had the best, or at least the most experienced, coaching. Maybe he's just superior at the 2A level but I leave it up to Coach Canales to evaluate whether or not he can succeed in the FBS.

As far as Minden, he's done as much as he can possibly do at the high school level. If we can only offer one he would win it hands down in my book.

I watched most of the game last night and came away thinking the same way as you, offer him now. I saw him make some very nice throws and great, quick decisions. I don't know that he's much of a runner but he looks like a talent.

ESPN interview with Joe Minden

Looks like he is a true warrior...got the better of Denton Guyer's JW Walsh (Okie State recruit)...

Impressive kid. And he has a great name for a FBS quarterback!

UNT Mean Green · December 4, 2010

Definitely think we should take a good look at Minden. He's one of those kids who's a 1 year starter, but he has performed at the highest level for sure; and he does have a vested interest in North Texas. I'm very close with his uncle, and the uncle says Joe wants to come here. He'd definitely take some time to develop, but he is an extremely hard worker who could at the very least provide solid depth at Quarterback.
