Running back Antoine Jimmerson (DeSoto, Texas/DeSoto) put together one of the top testing days featuring a 4.50 40, 4.41 shuttle (5-10-5), 7.27 L-cone drill and a 31-inch vertical. The 5-8, 198-pounder is receiving looks from a number of regional programs. He flashed his darting quickness and fluidity, while changing directions throughout the day.

Hope Jimmerson continues our long run of exceptional running backs here at North Texas. Have to admit that DD and TD consistently brought in some great RBs during their tenures, and I hope that McCarney is doing the same.

A +1 for NT03. Good find, buddy.

And another +1 from here, NT03. I'm wondering if we may yet go after his Desoto teammate the wr Ajala (?). He also sounded like a good get, and we need 1 or 2 receivers in this class.

This is GREAT news! Jimmerson is an outstanding find for sure. He was one of those guys who when you watched his team play, you thought "surely they'll give him the ball more" type of deal. Anyway, great body for an RB, good athlete, and will be a nice player.

Nothing against Brandin Byrd, but the Jimmerson-Whitfield combo is VERY exciting to think about. These two are as impressive as LD was out of Haltom on video (not saying they'll develop like LD, but it's a good time to be optimistic). My guess is that Canales will ask Byrd to add weight and become more of a short yardage/between the tackles guy.

Of the 3 young RB's, Whitfield will be more of the homerun threat/get to the edge guy, Jimmerson is good inside and gives you the ability to do some things in between the tackles as well as on the edge, and Byrd will probably be utilized more between the tackles. Nice collection of young talent for Coach Grant. Now we need to get him some U-Backs and H-Backs.

2 stud RB's. Could we ask for much more, considering we recruited them to sit behind Lance this yr. Great pick-up and agreed, this is the start of what could be a beautiful backfield in a yr or two.

My man NT03, breaking news like it's sportscenter, nice find amigo.

I wanted to add this on Jimmerson if he had an official visit to Iowa he's a good. As hooknbull will attest, I respect Iowa's recruiting in Texas as much as anyones. I think the fact he was on a primarily passing offense had as much to do with his availability as anything. GMG.

This is a great combo to have for years to come. I REALLY liked the 1-2 punch that Canales had going with Dunbar and Hamilton. Dunbar would take a series of plays and wear the defense down and then Hamilton would go in, defense would think they finally had a break and not cover the run as much, then Hamilton would split them open. Good stuff.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
