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.

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.

Ht?

Weight?

Runs 40 in ?? seconds

HS GPA

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?

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.

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.

Here is Coach C's response to my email to him asking if we had interest in him

"Jozef,

He is a great young man and filled with a lot of potential. He will have a great career.

Mike"

Great news! I truly hope we can get Joe into the school he belongs at...North Texas!

      N.O. Bowl: SHSU (9-3) vs Ga. Southern (8-4), 6:00pm ESPN-2....UNT's future Defense on display!

      I would imagine that against a true double tight end set or heavier formation he has the ability for that Jack to end up being an actual defensive lineman, but in today's game the need to be able to multiple based on formations, offenses etc. Jack LB's end up being the nice in between. Yeah you give up some on 3rd or 4th and short but the idea is that 1st and 2nd down you keep them in less favorable down and distances by having a more athletic guy on the field. I believe last season nationally the percentages on 3rd and 2 or less was like 68 percent conversion rate offensively. I as much as anyone want to see a defense on the field we can be proud of. Just like the HOD Bowl championship defense. The reality is though if you're living in 3rd and short as a defense you probably aren't getting very many stops.

      I hear you, but this is the AD's JOB. It is what they get paid to do to. They should have goals/objectives around these metrics and strategies/programs to achieve them. What are the goals? What are they doing to achieve them? We (the collective fan base) pay somewhere in the neighborhood of $9,000,000 a year in overall AD salaries, compensation and bonuses. Throw in another $4,000,000 or so annually in "overhead and administrative expenses." Fund raising, marketing and promotion is a little over $900K (total for all sports). I wonder how much is going to promote basketball to the local community?

      JUCO players will have 4 years NCAA eligibility remaining

      I agree overall. Was just thinking out loud. If I'm a P4 school and there's still scholarship limits, I'd probably rather take the high school freak athlete. Now, maybe I could give the other guy an NIL deal to pay for school as a PWO but how many of those guys would be scholarship worthy talents. Don't know why you think it's so improbable. Look at a guy like Phil Knight and Oregon. He could buy a couple pro teams if he wanted to pay 27 year olds to play ball and get bragging rights. The more we remove ourselves from college sports, I think it's reasonable to wonder if guys like him lose interest. Not saying we're there yet. Just saying it's not impossible...

      Would you support UNT Dallas becoming D1 in basketball? Not talking logistics or if it's deserved, just the move.

      Take a stand? 🤣 They won't and they don't care who are in the uniforms they love as long as they can play and aren't embarrassing the program in their free time. The 27 year olds in FBS not playing QB will be the rarity. Maybe the over 23 year olds playing the more physically taxing positions we stay put their final 2-3 years prioritizing education over chasing a very short improbable NFL careers. 🤷🏽‍♂️
