back to topic. Fine is the sort of quarterback that I have been begging for. Mac had (with the exception of the red head, which is stood next to several times and was 2 or 3 inches shorter than the program said) unreasonable parameters and expectations for his quarterbacks. This kid can flat play. Tyler Tettleton was under six foot tall and could flat play football. I for one and glad that we finally are going with "football players". The difference between senior year to sophomore year in college could be huge with this kid if he just grows another inch and gains 20 pounds. According to all accounts he has a rocket arm
I have no issue with his size, again, we play in CUSA not the SEC or even the Big 12. People look for reasons to complain.

The person that puzzles me is Smatty. There is a man who should know what a good basketball program should be. Where is he?
I agree, hopefully he's doing work behind the scenes

Ah, y'all don't know serious drinking. Ray Wylie Hubbard knew serious drinking because his lawyer suggested it:
http://www.texasmonthly.com/articles/ray-wylie-hubbard/
Ray Wylie will be at Dan's Silverleaf May 3, 2016, at 9:00, but he won't be drinking. Be there. You could get lucky like me and become the straight man for his story about how he came to write "Up against the Wall Redneck Mothers".
but snake farm just sounds nasty

All I can say is that I couldnt get off until 5:30 and made it there by 6:15. Missed everything, when I walked around I saw max 10 people in their 20's not with the football team/ school.

I meant tiny in terms of number of high school players (theere are simply too few of them), not in terms of their height and weight. I feel those are just fine with me in all those skill positions. Not that we couldn't use more big boys on the lines, but everyone could.
Look at the big picture. The minor details shouldn't overlook the quality of players that we're getting; Quality > Quantity.

Other than the lack of good QB recruiting, I would have to disagree. Yes 2013 and maybe also 2012 were horrible classes for mac. But 2014 was similar to this (more players, maybe less playmakers at the top) and 2015 was a better class than what we have in 2016 so far. We had 10 players that were rated 247 3*. Personally I think that 2015 class just came too late for Mac (plus all the stubborness etc issues). But this class has not merited praise through the roof yet. It is a lot better than it looked just a week ago. And I guess it is ok, given the late start. But it is heavy on JuCos and not rated any higher than the last two classes. We might be feeling its tiny high school size 3-5 seasons from now.
You have to go heavy Juco. As you just said, Macs 2012 and 2013 classes were horrible... Guess who's supposed to lead this team?
Just because you have more 3* recruits doesn't mean you have a better class. Look at this team last year. Your safeties were your leading tacklers, that's not good. Our linebackers were terrible and they addressed that issue with 2 big linebackers, one juco and one hs. I don't think you can ask more from a coaching staff than that in a month.
And a tiny high school?? Tonight, I was talking to Brelan and Trice. I'm 5'5 and they're just a couple inches taller than me. We've never been a big program.

He had a month to prepare that month. UTSA had considerably less time and is not really far behind. Tx States new crew had even less time. And guess what: they are ahead of UNT (yes they inherited some good ones but still... Tx State). It is not horribly bad, but Mac had some classes that were better. Need to let that sink in.
Wilson is a better recruiter than Littrell, those who didnt know that.. Now you do. Littrell will get more out of his players than Wilson. Getting a 4* recruit doesnt mean anything if you cant develop their skills.
And UTSA was recruiting the whole time.. Unlike our coaches.

Alright!
Given the hand he was dealt, an A. He's done everything right.
Grading his recruits, a B. It's still the best class we've had in 5 years.

What about Johnson?
And are we grading his twitter game?

Look, I've already moved on to arguing with one of the many Chris's about academic standards. Tomorrow I'm going to argue with @UNT90 about whether or not this recruiting class is any good or not, and that's going to carry into the weekend. At which point @Censored by Laurie and I have our yearly existentialist angst argument already scheduled.
If you want we can continue this argument early next week, unless Putin invades Moldovia, in which case I'll have to spend the week refuting @Screaming Eagle-66's pro Soviet agenda for at least a week.
Sounds like you need some time away from the computer.

If he were to quit today he would be an alumni. There is a student alumni association. You don't have to actually graduate to be an alumni. It is pedantic, but he has already "unlocked" alumni status.
If.......... Like I said, he is still currently a student, thus not making him an alumni because he hasn't (to my knowledge) graduated or is a former student. You're the one bringing Webster's in this, not me.

Your argument is that the NFL is far more attentive to these details than the average employer. Then to make a proper comparison you should raise the attentiveness of the of the employer. Make the comparison of one of use applying to and FBI position. They care about misdemeanors like PI. They will know about them and you had better admit it.
Don't raise the level of the offense. Cocaine possession is a felony and you wouldn't be eligible for any job soon afterwards because you would likely be looking at prison.
So:
- The comparison is bad, and
- I don't like tarring one of our fellow alumni with the comparison.
Again, I'm talking about the timing of the offense, not the crime itself. So yes, maybe cocaine might have been a bad comparison but we're arguing semantics. I dont care if he's an alumni or not. Its about the person and he's not a good role model/ leader for this university/ program.
I dont believe Carlos hasn't graduated yet... I wouldn't officially call him a alumni of the univeristy

I understand that. It's still not possession of cocaine. The better comparison to getting a PI before the NFL draft would be getting a PI before a job interview. Cocaine is a whole different level than a PI.
Most future employers wont ever know about a PI, thus not being realistic. They ask for felony's, not class C tickets. NFL isnt most employers, he is ruining his shot at the NFL. Just like getting caught with cocaine can ruin our future career opportunities.

Carlos is a ring below Brelan talent wise. Arrest or not, he wasn't going to play on the NFL.
Carlos didn't think so. He always whines, complains and blames other people. I'm waiting to see what he says next.

It's a PI, not possession of cocaine. One is at the MAX a $500 fine and the other is at a MIN a felony, 2 years in jail and 10,000.
Talking about timing here, not the charge. Its February, if he's planning on going to the next level. Why is he out drinking at 4am? If he takes football seriously he would be training, not drinking. That's my point.
13 minutes ago, Army of Dad said:For a marginal NFL prospect this could be just as bad for career reasons. Teams will take a chance on guys with great talent, but why risk it when there are lots of guys like Carlos in skill terms that don't have even this little bit of baggage?
Thank you.

it's actually nothing like that.
If you say so... Lets look at Randy Gregory.
He was a projected first round draft pick. Tested positive for weed with other off the field issue; dropped to a second round pick. My theory that "off the field" issues hurt his chance for his next chapter stands true.
There's no excuse for this.

You guys are acting like he's a 18 year old kid. He's a 4 year player "preparing" for the next chapter in his life. There's no excuse for this. Its like you or me getting caught with cocaine before a job interview and the employers know about it.

I think you answered your own question. One of the reasons why he probably couldnt put on a lot of weight in HS is because he played in a low level HS in Oklahoma. Going to college should change that in a heartbeat.
Again, I think we're trying to compare Fine to Patrick Mahomes or something.
They're a lot of college qb's that are undersized. Riley was injury prone in HS, so again, I think that's a bad comparison.
But I understand why you're worried about his weight. I just dont think its something to worry about, time will correct that.
