Multiple sources within the UNT athletic department confirmed this afternoon that Louisville defensive back and former Segoville standout Zed Evans is in the process of transferring to UNT to use his final year of eligibility.

Evans will play in the Sugar Bowl and then join the Mean Green in time for spring practice. Evans will graduate before leaving Louisville, which will allow him to be eligible immediately at UNT.

North Texas trivia question. Who was probably the most successful/impactful one year transfer player in North Texas history.

Shawnson Johnson?

I am not the least bit concerned with this kid's playing time (or lack thereof) at Louisville. He's a one year player who you get to roll the dice on for free. If he's good enough to hold down the SS spot...good. If he's able to be a situational nickel or dime DB...good. If all he ever does is improve your special teams...good. There can be no real down side here, even if he just pushes your starters in practice.

He does not count against the 25 -- since he is a mid term he would count against the 85 which we have always struggled to hit. His graduation allowing him to immediately play without sitting out makes him pretty desirable to us.

How do you figure that he does not count? It would be great if he doesn't count, but I am not sure why he would not.

Harry already said why. Mid-term... Not Fall.

Solid pick up in my opinion.

He isn't free if he is taking a scholarship. That counts against the 25 limit for this class and means you sign on less high school player.

Mid-term signees count against this years total not the class of 2013.

Now matter how he ends up counting against our scholarship allotment, I like the pick up. We're bringing in an apparently smart, mature and motivated player from a 10-2 Big East team about to go play in the Sugar Bowl. If nothing else, he'll add experienced depth and help out on our suspect special teams...and costs him a scholarship for just one season.

when you consider how long it takes to get a player to this level of experience, all the time paying for a ship, this is a real bargain.

Mel Daniels?

Not who I had in mind.

I suppose that every generation of North Texas fans could offer up their own opinion on this. In MY opinion, the answer would be Sears Woods ( a 1975 transfer from a small Okla school) #20 on your program. He was the team leader for all purpose yards that year (816). Not impressive numbers, but the most important of the "all purpose yards" was his kick-off return for a TD that won the Tennessee game for us.

I think about him every time I hear a coach talking about how so-and-so made (or needs to make) a big play.

I like this pickup. I think CBL boiled it down nicely. We're getting a guy who at least can contribute on ST, if not elsewhere on the field (player), has graduated before his eligibility is up (smart), and has played 3 years on a good Big East team (experience).

So then wouldn't transfers count as mid term too?

This is how A&M has 34 comitts so far.

Right and A&M is enrolling several of them at Semester.

      What to expect from Odom?

      I would suspect that we've seen the end of the 3-3-5. My guess is that he will go back to the 3-4 we ran through the middle of the season. We have run some 4-2-5 in obvious passing situations. If he is a 4-man front guy, he could use that as a base. I don't really think he will do that. We have to do something to fill more gaps and get a pass rush. You can do either with the fronts we currently have, but in the 3-4 you have to be willing to shade the nose. Caponi absolutely would not do that. We NEVER slid the front or moved the nose off of a zero shade. Brown can be a much bigger factor than he has been. So can our DT's. I just hope we put our kids in a situation where they have a chance. Filling gaps on the LOS from the third level is a good way to give up 500 yards a game. Hopefully we never see that again.

      Usually you’ll have one game during the week and one during the weekend. It’s just how college basketball does things. Our home non-con is atrocious (both teams and dates) but there are some good weekend games in conference.

      Caponi fired

      My guess is that Briles is such an offensive genius and will run the offense that Orr can just come home. But I’d rather have Orr as DC and leave Gary at home.
