There are a couple on here I would like us to go after including Mayfield from Lake Travis, McCarley from Manvel, Bowen from Amarillo and Ford from Hewitt Midway. Anybody have any solid information on any of these young men, such as, seen them play, stats, etc...?

Can't comment on all but the Bowen kid from Amarillo is the real deal, newspaper says 19-1 as starting Varsity QB with lone loss coming only last week in OT v. Amarillo High on an INT deflected by his receiver. He plays in a run heavy run first offense so his passing stats don't seem to show his true ability, threw for 150+ yards in the game I watched v. Amarillo and only passed when forced by down and distance. Amarillo Globe News publishes regional stats each week and the kid is the second leading rusher and maybe top 5 in passing with limited attempts. I have seen a couple of his games so from a Panhandle area high school football fan observation, he is definitely one of the better QB's from this region in a while and seems to be flying under the radar when one looks at QB's garnering recruiting attention. I did a google search and came across his Huld link and an interesting atricle on the burnt orange nation website. Links follow with description of 6'4" 200 #. http://www.hudl.com/athlete/765811/#highlights/8537385 http://www.burntorangenation.com/2012/8/29/3270650/unheralded-2013-player-of-the-week-collin-bowen

I've heard on numerous occasions, including a TV interview with Amarillo High Coach Maxfield, a likeness to a quicker version of K-State's Collin Klein.

UNT already has a 2013 QB verbal but I wonder if Mac is looking for more.

1. Berglund

2. Thompson

3. Williams

4. McNulty (should change positions)

5. Gill (a walk-on)

The top two are sure things, Williams should redshirt if he sticks, McNulty and a walk-on. We need another QB.

Just watched McCarley's (Manvel) highlights on Fox Sports SW High School show. He threw for over 450 yards and like 5 TD's. They said he has thrown for over over 3,200 yards this year. We need to get on him immediately as well as his stud WR.

There are NO sure things when it comes to our QB position. We THINK Berglund will win the job and be effective. We HOPE Thompson improves in the off-season. If there's a solid QB prospect go get him.

You guys are really counting chickens before the eggs hatch with this QB talk. Nothing is sure when you are talking about "new QB's being effective" when they have never played a down of big time FB .

are you refering to the new qb on campus or the ones linked in the article? Recruiting can be a crap shoot, so i dont think anyone is saying these are beat guys, but that they are uncommitted from texas and we need qb help. Hopefully our coaches can recruit and develop someone! (Hoping he is already on campus...)

I would not be surprised to see McNulty shifted to safety or slot receiver in Spring practice. He is not big enough to play QB at this level, and doesn't have the arm, either.

I think he can provide depth at either safety or in the slot.

And we absolutely need to sign at least 2 QBs that the coaches think have a legit shot to play the QB position in college. .

My thoughts and the reason I started this thread. I would go after the young men from Amarillo/Canyon and Manvel.

Very impressive.

Got knocked out of the playoffs Friday night, but Bowen threw for 186 and a score and ran for 144 and two scores. I really wish we would go after this young man but I don't hold out any hope.

Video in the burntorange article. Holy cow that spin juke move at around 2:00.

I always wonder if recruiters ever try to solidly pick up dynamic QB/WR combos.

As you will see under the recruiting outlook we have made contact with Bowen. He has had a broken collarbone and that seems to be the reason that no one is on him hard at this time. Could also be why no services have rated him. His dad says that he has only had the one injury and is not injury-prone.

I also noted that he has reduced his forty time from 4.55 (about what Berglund runs) to 4.46 which is exceptionally speedy for a quarterback.

Because of Berglund, he may look elsewhere. Brock was rated anywhere from #15 (Rivals) to #28 (Steele) as a quarterback nationally in 2011. I hope that doesn't scare Bowen off because he would be an excellent get. Even if Berglund is as advertised Bowen would have two years as a starter after serving a redshirt year.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Look, as for SMU….they’re 30 minutes down the road. You can say “why are we talking about them” they’re in the top 12 playoff. We have to get over it. We’re college football fans. Of course SMU being in the playoff is going to be discussed. But as for their performance….it was expected. They got super lucky with their schedule this year. Just like Indiana. If you plugged Memphis or Tulane in their spot, they would’ve done the same thing. Their QB is no better than most QBs we faced in the AAC this year. Our QB was as good as him. That’s just the truth. so they were a really good AAC team this year that got a super lucky schedule in a bad conference. I don’t hold anything against them for that. BUT We can’t really discuss them for much longer because the current college landscape is set up to make them a national powerhouse. They have a good coach. He is. And he got them in the national discussion. And they can take that with their money and go on an unbelievable run. Their QB won’t be here next year. Of course he won’t. They’ll pay a better one. Their NIL will dwarf every team in the ACC. I would bet their NIL will be top 10 in the country. Maybe top 5. They’ll have more $$ available than Bama. Arguably UT. What do they need? 4 star DE? 3 top OL? QB? 2 WR? There’s no cap to what they can pay. So we have to move on from SMU. They will be in the playoff a lot. So of course we’ll talk about them because they’ll be in the playoff. But we have to get over it. Are they scum bags? Yes. Of course. They have too much money and they will win. The landscape has changed. And they will succeed because they can pay. We have to hope we break off and do our own thing

      My post was sarcasm. Not only would they have to install a new system, but as I said, they would have get to know the players as well. It’s ridiculous to think it should be done or even could be done.

      A Big 10 vs SEC invitational College Football Playoff is of no interest to me. This will be the 2nd time Tennessee and Ohio State have played in their history. The Clemson vs Texas game will be their first matchup EVER. That to me highlights the absurdity of the out of conference scheduling for the bigger brand teams. And if Alabama went up to Penn State and got blown out exactly the same way nobody would mention it next year when they are in consideration for a wildcard spot with 2 (or maybe even 3) losses.
