Yes. If you withdraw from your sport, kick rocks. Everything else is word soup.
It’s not. Scholarships are renewed based on academic school years. You participate for the full season of your team’s sport that academic school year, you get the scholarship for that full academic school year. Your sport ending earlier than others does not mean you didn’t fulfill your full obligation to your sport’s season that school year.

This is not the same because we are not part of the company. The players and coaches are part of the company. We are customers of the company. If the players and coaches are bad mouthing him, then I see your point. However, if the customers are upset that one of the best employees leaves, then we have the right to be a little salty because we are the ones paying for the product that the company produces. Especially if we have money invested in that company.
Even if the analogy isn’t a one-to-one match in that area, we still are part of the perception of the “company” (program). That’s just a difference between sports programs and standard companies. The consumers are part of the perception of the program in ways that the consumers of a standard company are not.

IMO, you finish the semester you are in, but the following semester shouldn't be covered. If they do pay for it it's their call.
But why should a fall athlete who enters the portal after the season only get one semester of the school year covered while a basketball player who enters the portal after the season gets both semesters covered? Both players fulfilled the same obligation to the lie sport for the academic school year in question.

So is he "unenrolled"? Hopefully UNT is not paying for this semester.
Enjoyed the eyeroll above without the spine to explain why?
Why? He completed the full season of obligation to his sport this academic school year. Should fall sport athletes only be guaranteed a semester of scholarship while spring sport athletes get a full year?

UNT works with him to develop him and then he leaves. Before some of you jump in, yes I know he has every right. But I think you are going to start seeing more fans letting players know how they feel about their performances. As they say, changes happen, but if players want to be paid, maybe they should be open game for fan comments.
He played 4 years here and there was a coaching change. If not for COVID he would’ve finished his career here.
Also, if we want to talk about being subject to grown up treatment, let’s say you were hired by someone at a company and worked for them for 4 years, then they got fired, and then you decided to leave too. What if everyone at your company was bad mouthing/cold shouldering you on your way out?
Knowing you gave your company your best foot forward and decided to leave based on factors out of your control, what would be the lasting taste in your mouth on the company? How would that reflect on the company and your likelihood to recommend the company to others?
Everyone acting like the players leaving deserve some less than favorable treatment aren’t exactly protecting their school in the way they think they are. I’d say the opposite, in fact.

He has come up clutch at the end of big games for us plenty. Just not going to happen every time. Some things to work on but if they beat us three times in one season, they’ll have earned. Personally, I like our chances in March.

Good half. We need to switch things up with Perry. They are sitting on his step back 3s so he’s driving, which seems to be what they want him to do. He’s not great at getting to the rim and he isn’t a great creator for others off the bounce. Hope to see us let Jones and Huntsberry create more and run some off-ball actions to spring Perry. We need him doing what he does best, and they aren’t letting him do it when he has the ball in his hands.

Should we assume we are losing a lot on the OL?
Yeah it’s crazy. 6 guys with significant starting experiences who have eligibility remaining and yet this has been by far the staff’s biggest priority in recruiting.

Clay Jennings recruited him and will be his position coach. Clay is an experienced coach and I trust his judgment.

I swear it must be something in our heads to believe that LaTech will be in every game we play against them. We should have blasted them.
Over the last 4 season, in 9 meetings we have outscored La Tech by a combined total of 518-512. So the average score of our games against each other during those 9 games is 57.6 to 56.9.

And he isn’t a junior/senior who couldn’t break into the 2-deep.
Exactly. He was LT2 his second season on campus. And Vaipulu from Georgia Tech was starting games as an underclassmen there. This isn’t Tommy Bush, Jace Ruder, John Davis, Jordan Rucker, etc.
These guys we got today were showing they belonged as college football players.

It’s important to note that he actually was in the 2-deep, unlike a lot of the P5 transfers we get

video of him in HS… local kid as well and man he could hit hiss WR in stride and keep eyes downfield/find checkdown when needed… really like the ball placement
Fun fact: his Junior year he was co-starter with Jason Bean, though Bean got more reps as a Senior that season.

Harry, spin it how you want, and hopefully I am wrong, but other programs picking up what at least on paper are much better players. This is not a good look.
What? It’s not a spin to evaluate a transfer based on his college body of work rather than his recruiting profile.

It’s bad form to break commitments before the player has announced. Even if JayD had sourced information here, they wouldn’t be cool with him leaking the commitment before the player announced himself. Good way to lose a source.

Despite terrible losses by teams we have beaten this season, UNT moved up from #39 to #38 in the NET. We beat the spread and we moved up in the NET. It seems like a simple formula. This season, I have yet to observe UNT drop in the NET after covering the spread.
It is not a simple formula. The NET formula does not include if a team covers against the spread. It takes into account quality of opponent, location, points allowed per possession, points scored per possession, and win or loss.
The spread is set based on our past results. If we are beating the spread, thus outplaying a bar set by our past performances, logically that means we raised our cumulative performance for the year.
That doesn’t mean the NET formula weighs how we do against the spread. It’s just that beating the spread means having a game that exceeds the average of our previous results, which should result in NET improving, and has based on your observation.

Breaking: DeShawn Gaddie enters Portal.
in Mean Green Football
Posted
It absolutely has muddied things up in ways people still aren’t fully accounting for. This whole “transfer portal surplus” everyone likes to mention is primarily due to 6 classes of high school graduates all having college eligibility at once where it traditionally has only been 5.
2025 is the last season that there will be 6 classes of players with eligibility. That’s the last year that players who had their eligibility frozen in 2020 will still have eligibility. 2020 freshmen were still true freshmen in 2021, eligibility-wise. By 2025 they will be redshirt seniors, along with the 2021 HS graduating class who were the first to not receive an extra year due to the Covid eligibility freeze.
