2014 GMG.com UNT Player Adoption List

Harry · July 21, 2014

We do this every year and we ask everyone to select a player on the UNT roster and "adopt" that player for the season. You basically keep an eye on that player and his stats and keep the board updated when he has a good game, makes a great play etc...it doesn't have to be starters, it could be a red shirt freshman that you think will make his mark this season or maybe even a punter or kicker. Heck even a true freshman or recent transfer could be someone's choice. Here's a link from last years list:

This year, and for the second year in a row I am going to pick my favorite linebacker Derek Akunne!!

He is just a great player and person. I cannot wait to watch him take the field this season as well as take on a primary leadership role for the defense and entire team. GMG!

For the 2nd year in a row, I'll go with Kenny Buyers. I expect big things once again from Mr. Buyers.

Erick Evans.

Tough to pick between Quenton Brown and Jarrian Roberts. I'm going with Q. Think he is poised for the breakout of all breakout seasons.

Mean Green 93-98 · July 21, 2014

Last year, I picked Aaron Bellazin. At the time, I said,

I just have a feeling he's in for a big senior year.

At 34 tackles, 12.5 TFL, and 9 sacks (team leader) . . . I'd say he accomplished that.

But now it's time to move on to Aaron's heir apparent. So give me . . .

I'll take Laramie Lee.

GMG24 · July 21, 2014

5 defense 1 offense. I considered baby fortenberry, even though he isn't so baby anymore. Our O-line is stacked.

UNTLifer · July 21, 2014

I took DT the last few years and he ended his career as the MVP of our bowl game.

This year I will take the comeback kid....Freddie Warner

Our O-line is stacked.

Funny I was just thinking the same thing. This may be the deepest and most talented offensive line I have ever seen here since following the program. I would love to see some of the battles this Fall camp. You have guys like Sam Rice that has to sit out this season but could start next season. Denucci coming in. Simmonds has done a phenomenal job.

Here's another factoid -- we now have 7 o-lineman at 6-5 height and 5 at 6-4. Now if someday we could say that about our d-line!

People have been killing Mac for his recruitment on DL problem is those guys that are 6'2-6'5 on DL are taken before we even have a chance. We have legitimate 2 deep and IMO in a few spots 3 deep D1 caliber OL size and strength. Those TEXAS DL better eat their wheaties because we are fixing to punch them in the mouth about 45-50 times come the 30th.

GMG24 · July 21, 2014

I would like to blame the pick on my hydrocodone but that would be childish, honest brain fart here. I forgot he blew his knee out again, I was on last years Quenton Brown. Dang. Guess I'll change to Jarrian Roberts. (Walk of shame)

outoftown · July 21, 2014

Cyril Lemon. Had him two years ago, i think i had him last year. In any Case, I really want to adopt him this year.

Is there any chance that we might convert one of those guys to the DL?

2014 defensive MVP

Fred Scott.

meangreen15 · July 21, 2014

Give me Darius Terrell

DeepGreen · July 21, 2014

So CBL, deep green, Htowngreen, Christopher Walker, and drex adopted players that quit or were injured. Should they be allowed to pick?

I thought my last years pick "bust" would go unnoticed. Thanks 97and03.

My pick this year is Willie Ivery.

UNT90 · July 21, 2014

I'll stick with the most important spot on the field for UNT success this year.

Give me DT/DE Sid Moore. If form holds true, he will contribute this year and have a monster year next year.
