Not the bash the athlete, but he was saying all the wrong things in an interview with a universities beat writer. His wording made it very clear that he thinks that CUSA is a second tier athletic conference as is UNT. It sounds that he will jump at anything not named UNT, P5 or not. I hope he commits to us, but I would like to see him do it with a few other options on his plate.

Ben, cusa is a second tier conference, it always will be. UNT's program is as well, I love UNT and talk about it to anyone I can. But you need to get over yourself. This kid wants to find the best fit for him, if it's not UNT, then so be it. You sir need to get over yourself.

He quotes what a UTEP coach supposedly told him, and the above is your yake on this article? Reads to me that he really likes us, the program and the coaches, but wants to weigh his options.

Dude, sthu. This has nothing to do with me as an individual, but I won't sit by the way side like a b and let 17-50 year olds rip on UNT.

Now take your frustration out with a -1.

Not sure where he "ripped" on UNT, again sir, get off your high horse and just look at facts.

It is ok to be a second tier school and program, not every kid can be the big time stud immediately out of HS, Zach Orr, Brelan, Trice, Cyril, Craig, I can continue. All of these guys are in the league fighting for jobs with all of those "1st" tier guys. We have the potential to become the next Boise, but potential doesn't mean jack crap. You have to win on Saturdays, and do it often and consistent.

Funny, you end up sounding like a "b" when you make these rants.

His comments sounded to me like an indirect backhand to UNT. I don't care enough about where this guy goes to "rant." I hope we get him because he's home grown, but I won't lose sleep over it.

To be the next Boise we have to recruit better and recruiting at a top level starts with keeping your HS guys home.

Boise recruited 2-3 star guys developed them and kicked the dog crap out of bigger programs bc they had grown men playing against 17 and 18 year old kids from schools like OU.

It was not a rip.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      Some of you think these professional athletes have to go to classes?

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?
