Well I guess we know why we needed to sign another QB...

MeanGreenTexan · January 15, 2014

Wow. Surprising. Wonder if this only further etches Dajon's name on the starter's job next season?

TheTastyGreek · January 15, 2014

He must have really loved Coach Nelson.

BillySee58 · January 15, 2014

Wow. A lot of people called this. What a crazy and weird situation this ended up being.

Travis · January 15, 2014

We were so excited.

Mean_Green09 · January 15, 2014

There really no reason for him to stay IMO.

1) I wonder if the staff knew he was leaving thus the signing of Greer or the other way around

2) We have another available ship for this class

Rudy · January 15, 2014

Would have loved to see what he could do.

MEANGREENCOACH2 · January 15, 2014

does this mean he has to transfer to a FCS school if he ever wants to play again

I dont think they knew he was leaving. I think they thought he just wasnt going to be the QB anytime soon. Plus you never pass up the chance to get better. By bringing in Greer the QB position got better and thus UNT got better.

Berlund got Osborned, hopefully Greer does not suffer same fate

It doesn't open up a ship for this class. What's holding us back from signing more is the 25 per class limit. And since we signed 25 from last class, including walkons put on scholly, we can't backcount any into last class.

I'm not surprised. I think he knew he was never going to play. This will be his third transfer.

Berglund was never going to play, so...not that surprised. Unfortunate. He has talent. Dajon's job to lose.

MEANGREENCOACH2 · January 15, 2014

if your the same style of QB as the starter it would be an easier transition from starter to back up.

Lets just say Dajon starts and goes down would you rather bring in the same style QB (Brock) or a pocket passer?

oldguystudent · January 15, 2014

Not shocked at all

Harry · January 15, 2014

My thought is they knew he was transferring, probably shared that with Josh and that led to Josh committing.

It's still sad to me because I mean heck we never really ever got to see the kid play... his injury in the spring was a killer. He comes back in the Fall with no reps and DaJon shows up on the scene.

But it makes some sense for him to transfer because he clearly saw the writing on the wall. Connor Means enrolling in January was another indication.

I'm sorry it didn't work out and I wish him and his family well in the future.

Look DaJon may be the best QB we have ever had but he has not played. Josh has proven himself at a high level of competition in the juco ranks. McNulty also has more reps than does DaJon. Knowing Mac and how he despises turnovers, it could be very difficult for him to start a guy who has never played a game against UT. We shall see.

UNT 04 · January 15, 2014

Is this an indication that McNulty really doesn't have a shot at the starting Qb position? The "maybe McNulty" part

foutsrouts · January 15, 2014

Sad to see, but I don't blame him a bit. It would be painful from the "what could have been" perspective, but I hope he tears it up at Northern Colorado and ends up in the NFL. BOL.
