UNT off-season football program starts today

[Harry]

Its a landmark day in the calendar year for UNT football.

Off-season workouts are underway. Strength coach Frank Wintrich will have UNTs players for the next several weeks, when they will run, lift and prepare for the upcoming season.

Im going to write about it for tomorrows paper.

This would be a great time for Dajon to show some motivation.

Yes it would. I believe his off-season motivation may just determine UNT success next year.

[MGNation92]

I'm just hoping Dajon will put on some weight. He doesn't look like he could absorb hits as well as Thompson. If he sees any extended playing time this season he may not last long without adding 10-15 pounds

I totally agree. Especially when NT needs someone of his "potential" to start reaching it. I don't know what he is doing, or not doing, that has set him back in the QB race. But the coaching staff needs to have a (as the Baptist would say) "come to Jesus" meeting with him on that issue so that he can make the decision to either change, and work hard on that change, or make the decision to transfer. I think it's clear to most people by now that Coach Mac is not interested in his QB's freelancing, or trying to freelance, like Johnny M. If Mr. Williams is not interested in being a great bus driver first and a freelancer second....or third...or whatever, then he might want to look elsewhere to play football.

Right now, the "up and coming" talent at QB (iMHO) is Conner Means.

Seriously? The guy is a redshirt freshman. Way too early to panic with him. The problem here is the last 5 years of recruiting QB's not with DW.

I'm certainly not panicked. Other people seem to be. And considering that he went from show-of-the-new-kid-in-the-Idaho-game to fourth string by the end of spring, he ought to start getting pretty concerned and pretty focused this summer. And as I said above, it would behoove him to find out from the coaching staff just where his focus needs to be. And, in fairness to this young man, it would behoove the coaching staff to do the same.

Yes.

[UNT90]

Maybe we need some freelance and less bus driver

Coaching staff talks a lot about finding playmakers but sure does limit that possibility in their QB.

Perplexing.

My brother works at a grocery store in Lewisville and one of the coaches assistants comes in all the time. The assistant told my brother that the main reason that DW was redshirted last year was to focus on beefing up and to learn the play book. According to this assistant he didn't do either, at all. He then said that Greer is the starter if he can fully grasp the play book before fall camp starts. If not then they will rely on old faithful, McNulty.

[MeanGreenTexan]

Though the source is shaky at best, I would consider this good news. I see alot of similarities between Greer and DT.

[Ben Gooding]

It's not shaky. My brother isn't a North Texas guy and doesn't follow the program. He was throwing out names when he called me that he wouldn't have normally known.

That's still shaky at best, Ben.

eh, I'd give it a 35% potential truthiness factor. That's pretty high for gmg.com.

[GOMG2013]

There's still a little more to it as far as dajon and his personal life and adjusting, but its something he should be able to work through.

This is consistent with what I have heard from several people and from what I read on here.

[Green P1]

So if he's not a North Texas guy how did he and some random assistant coach come to strike up such an insightful conversation?

[forevereagle]

There is this thing called the internet where information is available to those who want it to, hypothetically, screw with their brother.

[Green92]

I always discuss confidential information about my work with random people who work in businesses I frequent.

He's a college football fan, just not one of North Texas. He will convert eventually, just doesn't know it yet.
