  1. Yes I do. Also assuming a serviceable backup PG would allow Jones to play off the ball periodically as well which would’ve helped in the periods of offensive stagnation when there just hasn’t been enough creators on the floor.
  2. He wasn’t rushed back last time and that didn’t prevent the injury. If he is cleared and feels good, just kind of have to play him and hope for the best. And don’t go into seasons with only one playable PG anymore.
  3. And those kids I’m sure will remember this moment and have a much more fond outlook on UNT athletics for the rest of their time at UNT and beyond than kids who showed up for the first time to watch Benford ball get run out of the gym by SFA or something.
  4. Completely forgot about FAU looming. Man, opportunity to beat SMU and a ranked team in one week is wild. Let’s get it done.
  5. Good stuff. Only complaint you could really make is we couldn’t pull away enough to make it a complete route, but definitely a solid performance and never in doubt. Huge opportunities ahead.
  6. Imagine being told during the Benford era that next decade we’d be in the same conference as Wichita State (top 10 team at that time) and beating them on the road.
  7. For sure. Definitely have that outlook with Noland and Buggs. If those two can improve their play similarly to how Kai did last year then we’ll be really dangerous.
  8. I’m still trying to figure out what my expectation is for us this conference season. The way we absolutely beat down UTA and Towson but have lost those extremely winnable games like against St. John’s, LSU, Fordham, etc. has me still confused. Definitely saw what I was hoping to out of Walker, and Noland and Buggs had solid games after scuffling a good bit so far this season. Also, this one boosted us up 30 spots in the NET from 126 to 96.
  9. By my count we have 42 scholarship players from last year’s roster still on scholarship. 16 on offense and 26 on defense. So that leaves 43 open spots, with about 26 accounted for by HS and portal guys.
  10. There is no shortage of available spots. Plus, the team was down to 3 returning scholarship slot receivers and 2 of those are seniors. Considering how much we rotate receivers to keep them fresh, we definitely were running thin. I expect more portal receivers too.
  11. Was thinking that might be the case with the coaching change. Definitely impressive stats considering it looks like he didn’t start getting much opportunity until Conference play started.
  12. Came to Houston as a walkon. Redshirted in 2022. In 2023 caught 20 passes for 263 yards and a touchdown. Had 5 catches for 68 yards against University of Texas.
  13. Looks like the first one is Gabe Stroud, defensive back from Whitehouse. For the fans hoping for instant payoff out of the portal, I suggest you adjust the timing of those expectations. Expect a lot of the near activity to be High School guys. I’m sure we’ll get a group of portal guys as well before the spring semester starts, but probably not as soon as these HS guys we are going after and looking to sign on 12/20.
  14. So you’re saying you want to speak to the manager?
  15. Updated for some of the recent departures. Looking forward to adding names to this chart.
  16. I don’t fully disagree I just still don’t agree with going backwards on those transfer rules. I get it is often to our detriment, but I don’t think it’s right to restrict kids’ ability to transfer when the coaches who bring them in are under no such restriction. I think a lot of this will correct itself once all these kids who got extra seasons because of the COVID year are fully out of eligibility. You bring in a guy as a Junior who has actually a 5th year college student like Rogers, of course they’re going to have the grad transfer option.
  17. I didn't use the word “right.” Not sure why you’re quoting that word like I said it when you were the one who brought it into the conversation. Just pointed out that your strategy is to restrict the players’ freedom, which it factually by definition is.
  18. Freedom - the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint. Your proposition is to add more hindrance/restraint (transfer restrictions) on the individual athletes participating in the NCAA. More hindrance/restraint = less freedom. Doesn’t have to be a constitutional right.
  19. When a problem exists there is no better way to solve things than stripping individuals of their freedoms!
  20. 6’2” 225 lb Redshirt sophomore QB from Division II University of West Georgia. Threw for 914 yards and 10 TDs against 6 INTs on 54% completion this season as a redshirt freshman. Also added 468 yards rushing and 6 rushing TDs. Split time at QB with a couple other QBs at West Georgia. Has picked up a handful of FCS offers as well. https://uwgathletics.com/sports/football/roster/cameran-brown/9412
  21. The scholarships are renewed for the entire school year. Don’t have the option to just take them off scholarship for entering the portal, at least to my knowledge.
  22. For the record, Chandler Rogers was in college for 4 years before coming here. Well, technically 3.5 and by the end of this school year he will have been here for 1.5.
  23. I really don’t think there is much Morris can do with some of these departures. Guys know they can get paid handsomely and don’t have to sit out because so many of them have graduated due to getting that free COVID season of eligibility. I completely get the concern though. One thing I’ll say is that as of now out of our 17 Portal entrants, only Ethan Miner and Josh Smith were brought in by Morris.
