I think the new line coach will change that.

He blew out hios knee so it may take a couple of years for him to ghet back to where he was.

For me it has to be Kenneth Dotson. He redshirted last year and is listed at 6-3, 257. I seriously doubt he is still at that size. Would like to see him get into the rotation this year. Also Davontae McCrae the juco transfer from Northern Mississippi. . 6-4 250 and can run. He could be a big player for us. I also find Jimmy Walker interesting but he's very young.

Just sawr this today: Seems to me that we have success with transfers like Guyton but we don't do it that often. SMU seems to do it a lot. Should we bring transfers in more?

Congrats to him and Billie Jean!

University of North Texas The University of North Texas is allowing students to apply without an SAT or ACT score. The university will review applications based on GPA, class rank and other academic criteria. For Freshman admission in Fall 2021, the language requiring the submission of ACT/SAT score for students ranking in the top 10% of their high school has been removed. This is under the uniform admission policy. For Fall 2021, standards for full admission have also been modified to include a cumulative high school GPA of 3.0 (unweighted) without the requirement of an SAT or ACT score. read more: https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/education/north-texas-colleges-changes-admission-policies-coronavirus/287-c408a1e7-442e-4287-89f3-e4beface2fd7

I hate when our very best players transfer out near the finish line.

Conference rankings are cyclical. If Rice improves and a couple other C-USA programs get back on track the rankings will be fine. Being aligned with La. Tech, Marshall, Southern MIss are good for UNT. The Florida schools seem to be rising as is Charlotte and WKU is always strong. Charlotte seems to be rising as well. You need to remember that C-USA was not formed solely on the power of the programs at that time but more about their potential to grow and develop based on budgets, academics and markets.

Only 16 of the 62 schools in Power 5 conference haven’t made their decisions on reopening official, based on a list compiled by the Chronicle of Higher Education and Star-Telegram research. The Cal and UCLA campuses are expected to have minimal in-person studies, and USC is among 14 others searching for the best plan to open their campuses safely. Some are opening in phases. Some will offer both in-person and online classes. Some will wait as late as July before deciding on how they will hold fall classes. Even if there are in-person classes and fall sports, namely football, things won’t be going back to normal. Football will likely be played in empty stadiums.

Now Gary Patterson at TCU is taking a voluntary paycut as well: https://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/05/15/tcu-football-gary-patterson-pay-cut/

Between C-USA and the Sun Belt, there are 24 schools that could easily be split into two 12-team conferences or three eight-team conferences. Former Sun Belt commissioner Karl Benson, who led the conference from 2012-19, has always believed there’s too much overlap between his former league and C-USA. “I still firmly believe that North Texas and Texas State and UT-San Antonio need to be in the same conference,” he said. “(Louisiana-Lafayette) and La. Tech need to be in the same conference. Southern Miss and South Alabama need to be in the same conference. That’s the same for Troy and UAB, and Charlotte and App State.” One solution would be to merge the C-USA West and the Sun Belt West and then do the same for the East. That means Louisiana Tech, Southern Miss, UAB, La. Tech, Louisiana-Lafayette, Louisiana-Monroe, South Alabama, Arkansas State, North Texas, Rice, UTSA and UTEP would be lumped together in the West In the East, it would be Florida Atlantic, Western Kentucky, Marshall, Florida International, Middle Tennessee, Old Dominion, Appalachian State, Charlotte, Georgia Southern, Georgia State, Troy and Coastal Carolina. If C-USA and the Sun Belt dissolved to create three more regional conferences, independent football programs like UConn, Liberty, New Mexico State and UMass could also factor in as members. read more: https://www.sunherald.com/sports/college/conference-usa/article242750786.html
