    Hearing that Chandler may be done with football. Hope that’s bad intel.

    How brilliant on his part if true. If he knew he was going to retire from football why not wait until you get added to a roster for the first college football video game in over a decade. Sucks for us but well played for him.

    Just a few videos from today’s pro day.  I think some of our guys will have a shot to make a roster. 

     

    I don’t have Twitter. Could you share what was said in his replies?

    Which makes it that much funnier...

    He left a NIT Championship team and went to a squad you know were all bumpin gums about winning a natty just to get bounced in the first round of the tournament in which he won last year. It's just funny. While he's romanticiszing a round orange ball on X, we're still playing. 

    You think he is heartbroken or feels a little better today? Maybe he is laughing at your puffed up chest from yesterday.

    Hired gun?  Bigger stage?  Did KSU get more coverage this year than we did last year?  I know Big XII, but I don’t recall them being on television much. 

    KSU was in the Elite 8 last year while we (with Tylor) won the NIT. If you are a college student with one year to play and national championship aspirations, do you stay where you are having just won a NIT title and lost your head coach or do you transfer to a team with a second year coach who went the Elite 8 in year 1?

  5. Why the jilted lover syndrome? He was a hired gun for us and a hired gun for KState. KState gave him more money and a bigger stage. Let him go live his life. We should be grateful for what he did here and that he is a UNT graduate but what he did at KState and how he said goodbye there should be no more than a passing interest for us.

  6. The problem with engagement and getting new potential fans out is if they don’t enjoy the on-the-field product then it was all for naught. The odds of them showing again is almost zero. Regardless of this person’s job, it will start and end with Morris and Mosley and if they can build a program people want to watch. We almost sold out LaTech in 2018 and had we beaten them and continued the winning streak I bet we would have sold out at least once that season.

    Examples showing actual national superstars really don't count.  Their endorsements hold clear value, comparable to or exceeding what a high-profile professional athlete holds.  What about these benchwarmers pulling in 6 figures a year NIL?

    Exactly.  Has anyone ever seen any current college athlete marketing anything??  In print, video, anything?  I can't recall a single one.  Yet thousands are getting NIL.  For doing what....playing for a specific school.  That's it.

    It isn’t uncommon. You just don’t always realize it is going on. If you’ve ever driven anywhere near Baton Rouge you will see LSU players in advertisements on billboards all over the place.

    Here are some of the deals Sincere McCormick had at UTSA. https://sanantonioreport.org/nil-deals/

    Bijan Robinson’s Lamborghini deal. https://www.kxan.com/sports/bijan-robinson-shares-how-he-scored-lamborghini-nil-deal/amp/

    Heck, just do a google image search for NIL billboard and you will see several.

    If Rogers doesn't start, will he still get the NIL money? I heard that most of the time, NIL money promises to transfers are conditional. 

    My understanding is that for them to be NCAA compliant, athletic performance, including where you may end up on the depth chart, cannot be a stipulation of the contract. If you are on the team in good standing and meet your NIL “obligation” (public appearances, ads, or whatever) you get your money.

    i would agree with you, but UNT has  beaten UTEP and Rice over the past few years consistently and Sam Houston is... not good.

    Seth Littrell beat Rice and UTEP over the last few years. Eric Morris didn’t face either one but did lose to FIU.

    Mike Canales per Footballscoop.com in 2010.

    “Our motto is going to be that we are going to lock the gate and go to work. If it is at 2:40 or 2:50 or whatever time we are going to practice, that gate is going to be locked. There is a time to play and a time to work, and we are going to work. I am going to demand a lot and expect a lot.”

    My recollection is he showed up to that PC wearing or carrying a length of chain with a lock attached.

    According to (what should be) an unbiased source, Jordan McCloud is the 115th-ranked transfer (just behind Chandler Rogers), while Chandler Morris is ranked #467: https://www.on3.com/transfer-portal/industry/football/2024/?position=qb

    That's not to say there aren't coaches who would take Morris over McCloud, there may well be.

    Thank you for the well thought out response.

    Sadly it's time for the we only got to keep him because they got someone they wanted more crowd to come out

    Just out of curiosity, if given the choice which would you pick? Which would be more in-demand across the country if they hit the market at the same time? I’m not advocating for one or the other, just want to see which you would choose based on their collegiate resume. It is possible GJ Kinne wanted the JMU guy more than Chandler. It is also possible that Chandler Morris would rather attend North Texas than SWTSU-SM.
