One Texas quitter has worked out for Tulsa...

[The Fake Lonnie Finch]

...why not the Gilbert kid here in Denton? Come on, now. We love other school's quitters:

Lets do it.

Who did his dad room with in college?

Come on people, lighten up.

If he goes to another FBS team, he will only have one year of eligibility left correct?

2009-2010 - Played in BCS title game

2010-2011 - Played the whole season

2011-2012 - played this year and got injured

2012-2013 - Sit out due to transfer rules

I guess he could apply for a waiver to get a sixth year and would probably win it, but assuming he get the medical redshirt, I only see 1 year of eligibility left.

[LongJim]

He's seeking a medical redshirt for this year. (Mentioned in your post.)

I think he would get two more years to play.

He was at SMU's practice today.

We would take him in a heartbeat. I do not know why he would come here, however, as opposed to a BCS school or a pass-heavy non-BCS.

That is assuming he wins an appeal for a sixth year because he will be forced to sit out a year if he transfers to another FBS (no hardship, just a quitter). 5 years to play 4 right?

I can't really comment on the situation going on as being a family friend to the Gilbert's and former classmate in high school with him but, Garrett is NOT a quitter and never will be.

He will be playing on Sundays without a doubt and will put himself in the best situation to do so.

I will say however, I am extremely disappointed in Mack Brown and his ethics.

You don't have to comment on the situation...if you could just let us know if there is a greater than 0% chance he ends up at NT.

Tap the brakes there a little.

He has shown signs of greatness , but he's not NFL material

Ethics? You ever read "Meat On The Hoof" about the UT football program in the 60's? It was a NY Times best seller back in the day and authored by a Denton HS alum (the late Gary Shaw) who played at UT-Austin. It was an eye-opener for this college football fan.

GMG!

Two hand touch in the park after church doesn't count.

[EdwardRRooney]

Mack Brown's ethics? What do his ethics have to do with it? They let him go somewhere he can play and not be a bench warmer.
