Look like a good pickup and I hope he turns out to be great, and I feel the same about Trice and Feldt. Just a cool the jets moment, Tyler Stradford got the same kind of initial reaction. I have been following the program much much longer than most, and I can't remember too many transfers from upper tier schools that ever excelled; many contributed. Anthony Bridges who was a second team All American didn't even star at NT, although it was reported that he had injury problems.

Hopefully that trend will change. If anyone remembers a big time contributor from a major program, let me know. Cornist was a good defensive tackle, Finch was a really big name but was an average player at NT, J. T. Hollins was very good but that goes back to Fry. Unfortunately, a lot end up like Stradford and Cole.

I've found that the permanent press setting works best for wet blankets.

Reviewed a listing of our guys over the years and we just haven't had any to speak of other than Juco transfers. The program was down for so long that guys preferred to go to a D1AA school to play immediately. (Sam Houston St, SWTSU, SFA etc)

The guy looks like he will be good for us. Lots of talent. Great addition for coach Mac. Is the move to C-USA already paying off, or was this guy on board even of we were staying in the Sun Belt?

Although, not what may be called "big time", recently Julian Herron worked out well for us in my opinion. If we can get past thinking "big time contributor" and start thinking "quality depth at WR", we'll see real possibilities here, with starting and starring being frosting on the cake.

Also, what kinds of numbers are we talking about with respect to such transfers? If it's 10 and none made a "major contribution", I could see a troubling trend. If it's 5, I'll think too few numbers to spot a trend, and that maybe the more qualified coaching staff we've had for the last year will give us results similar (or better) to what transfers have accomplished for the men's basketball program.

My comment was an observation not a prediction. I wouldn't count Herron because SMU was and is not an upper tier school.

I don't believe in trends much, just because Stradford and Cole which are the only recent ones that come to mind, didn't meet expectations doesn't mean others will not be big additions. I do have an issue with flaunting them as 4 star recruits because that was their rating out of high school. There is a ton of difference in signing a four star out of high school versus a rebound player from another program. You are not beating out OU or UT for a recruit, you are just getting one that for whatever reason didn't fit in those type programs.

As I already said I like the signing, I'm just not as confident that many seem to be every time NT lands a transfer like this, they are going to be instant stars or even big contributors.

Again, my recall is fuzzy, but I think the schools from which we are getting recent transfers are increasingly higher profile schools.

That seems to be a credit to the coaching credibility and facility upgrades.

      Is this what an “offensive genius” looks like?

      The defense was disastrous last night but stop with this "offense did enough to win" crap. A 3 and out and interception in the first 2 drives is not doing enough to win. Were it not for a defensive stop after the onside kick and a Porter 79 yard run, we'd have been down 21-0 and counting. Yes, the defense needs to do more but what high powered offense puts up 7 in a half? This team did the same crap last year. No offense in the first half and then when we put up garbage time points people say "look at the offense." The offense is bordering bad. Tulsa put up 46 on UTSA. Texas State put up 49 and even Rice put up 29. Just to show you where our "high powered offense" stands.

      ***OFFICIAL UNT vs. UTSA IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      Atrocious in "all 3 phases" (that onside kick was a film study discovery by UTSA) but E Morris is just a horrible game manager. Just stupid decisions on multiple levels. I wish we weren't in the bowl hunt so Caponi could be fired if at least as a symbolic action to show the rest of the staff (minus Cobbs) they need to step it up a bunch. To the decision making, it's all been said. The timeout at 2nd and 16 with 49 seconds to go when most offenses would just let the clock run out to close the half, not taking reasonable field goal attempts early on, poor playcalling (honestly surprised a screen didn't get intercepted), these things fall on Eric Morris. Just garbage level game management. It's like he's playing a video game where there's no real consequences. Time of possession was about 39 to 21 in UTSA's favor. I know Porter had huge runs but UTSA also had huge plays. Why is it that others are capable of sustaining drives and eating clock but our "elite" offense can't do so? Defenses aside, you'd think our supposed top notch offense could be more consistent. I know our defense needs to make stops more consistently but anybody please tell me why our offense isn't capable of having some 6 or 7 minute scoring drives? Morris needs to relax on the pace of game. Just idiotic at this point.
