@TheReal_jayD,

What happened last year?   It looks like he was playing a bunch (66 tackles in 13 games) in ‘22, and played a bunch at IASt too….  
What DB position do we anticipate him playing?  Is he the STAR?

I would be very interested to know what happened last year.

According to google maps there is a taqueria and Korean place next to the gas station a block away. Maybe one of them has beers? Tacos and beer or beef bulgogi and beer sound pretty good to me.

Well this guy has the Iowa St 3-3-5 LB size we need but it sounds like we will play him as another undersized DE instead?

Who would’ve guessed that we got a QB commit and we’d have people who didn’t like the move. If Patrick Mahomes walked through that door we’d have fans saying it’s a bad move

I mean he is out of eligibility so we would likely get sanctioned by the NCAA. I would call that a bad move.

Sorry, just my opinion, but I hope we do better.  I have also been wrong once or twice, more if you ask my wife, in the past.  Here's an article with potential landing spots for him.

Quinn Ewers is from Southlake, a pretty affluent city in Texas, and he went to Ohio State for $1 million just to transfer. Money talks 

I don’t know how many times I need to repeat that the famous million dollar NIL deal wasn’t OSU specific and he still had it at Texas. https://www.si.com/college/ohiostate/football/ohio-state-football-freshman-quarterback-quinn-ewers-reportedly-signs-endorsement-deal-worth-more-than-1-million-dollars
He did get a pickup truck from a local dealership. Maybe he had to give that back?

They talked during the CFP game last night about uT's Ewers getting $1mil to go to Ohio State and play 2 plays?   Lol.  Then he transfers to uT for probably similar.  The NFL would be a pay cut for some of these guys.  NIL and Portal have ruined the college game.

I don’t think that NIL was specific to OSU, as I recall it was a corporate deal. These top level athletes are taking ticky-tack collective money, they are getting millions from major corporations for their brand. I think Ewers has multiple deals like this:

Quinn Ewers’ second NIL deal was with GTSM, an athlete autograph company. He signed this endorsement deal in 2021 while he was a part of the Ohio State University. As per Darren Rovell and Tom VanHaaren of ESPN, Quinn Ewers and GTSM reached an agreement for an endorsement deal for 3 years worth $1.4 million at that time. According to this endorsement deal, Quinn Ewers was able to sign autographs during his years as a college football player. This was a much more lucrative NIL deal for Quinn Ewers and it still allows him to sign autographs as a college football player.

He's not the guy at Texas State, though. 

Nor has he been anywhere. This is a guy with like 50 career passing attempts in four years as a college QB. Not what we are looking for.

Did you see his actual commitment post.  May have himself in some legal troubles if he isn't careful with his behavior down there.

Do you mean the Instagram post quoted above where he said “Let’s run it!”

or did you mean on Twitter from the account that has “obvious parody account” that talked about sucking Florida tiddies?

I like Morris and hope he works out, but if he doesn’t, would fans be opposed to Cobbs taking over? 

Replace someone who doesn’t have the experience for the job with someone who has never even been a coordinator? No.

In a related note, I wouldn’t be opposed to him getting a promotion to co-OC.

No offense but what has he really done?  Yes we have had some good RBs but we had those long before Cobb got here.  If he was so great why has not one other team tried to lure him away?  Very simple answer.

Recruited good talent at RB and out of Oklahoma. Despite multiple injuries, kept the RB room humming and highly-productive. Earned national recognition for his work. Represented the university well. Outstanding representative of our program. 
Why would we not reward one of our own with a top position group when others get paid more on staff with no results?

I am curious why UNT hasn't organized a Bowl game at Apogee (errr.  DATCU) stadium.  It's a good looking venue, and a CUSU or Sunbelt matchup would be a good fit.
