    You seem to be the one getting mad and name calling. I'm not devaluing any players. I'm simply telling you what reality is.

    If Corbin had the value you think he does, someone would've offered him.

    And I'm basing it a lot on position value, not even the player himself. A senior WR just isn't that important as a transfer.

    Other than the fact he's still here what proof do you have he wasn't offered? Legitimate proof. Let's see it. Your own logic/opinion is not a fact. Give us the facts guy.

    Corbin didn't get any P5 offers in the transfer portal, or he wouldn't still be at Houston. He'd have transferred like the others.

    No, we're not on your level or SMU's level just as Arkansas isn't on LSU's level. But Arkansas is a lot closer to LSU (they both matter) than you are to Arkansas (they matter, you don't). And we are a lot closer to you (neither matter) than you are to Arkansas.

    That's the reality, no matter how much you guys and SMU want to call yourselves P6. Fight over being the best-smelling dog turd all you want. It is what it is. Nobody cares.

    Imagine spending an entire argument trying to devalue a player of another team instead of having a civil football conversation. Yea you have it all figured out. You didnt even know who Corbin was until the redshirt controversy yet you know exactly what went down. Lol they matter? We don't? Uh oh. Somebody is getting mad. The name calling is coming out. Somebody is big mad. Arkansas is so crappy they lost to UNT. Then UNT thought they'd beat us because they beat a P5. 💀The only thing that matters in arkansas in the P5 tag and that can't even save them. Let that sink in. Down votes are welcomed. I enjoy most posters on this board but there are some little brother syndrome guys such as yourself. 😁

    I know, it's like saying a guy could have gone to a P5 or something and chose to stay at Houston for his roommate. LOL. Delusion is strong at the G5 level.

    Delusion? No that's like thinking that our student athletes might want to finish their degree (like King did), and or stay at UH. It's like thinking that all P5 are equal and wouldn't take a P5 quality prospect from UH. It's like thinking that all G5 are equal like UNT conference USA being on the equal footing as UH and the AAC. We're not on UCFs level right now, and yall aren't on our level. Just like Vandy and Arkansas aren't on LSU's level but there's NOOOOO way Corbin could have been offered by those crappy P5s and said no. Dude you're lost. This isnt the early 2000s man. Miami is not THAT program at the moment. They're right there with Kentucky and Iowa State as far as success.

    Uhm, yeah, it did. But I'm guessing you don't know anything about Miami football, other than D'Eriq King goes there now. They needed serious help on the OL, and it's one of the hardest positions to fill. If you can get transfer OL especially, due to the years spent in college Strength and Training programs, all the better. WR are a dime a dozen. So really, it's not just Miami football you don't get. Positional scarcity is a real thing, and WR ain't it. And unless he's an absolute WORLD beater, P5s aren't gonna fall over themselves for a WR or RB. Again, those positions are much easier to recruit and fill. Everybody has 10 on their roster, and you can more easily rely on younger players to play them, unlike QB or OL (or DL, for that matter). These are facts.

    Also, him being under-recruited further diminishes your previous point that Corbin was a better get based on his offer lists.  Was he under-recruited, or was he properly recruited and thus Corbin is better based on his offer list? Offer lists also don't mean a whole lot after a few years. Guys are looking at tape and what they're doing at the college level to determine their present value.

    As far as Guyton, he left to go play in the NFL. He also proves MY point, since he was recruited to Notre Dame and ended up transferring down. That was NFL level talent, clearly, and he played at UNT. But he FIRST went to Notre Dame. Again, skill positions are out there.

    Scarcity? 16 OL on the roster scarce? Or are we talking lack of quality vs number of JAGS.  If we are using the "time spent in college=good quality prospect " then that same logic can be applied to Corbin. Or does that only apply to offensive linemen? Corbin played in every offense under the sun. From a Power Spread to the Bear Raid. He know's more terminology than the average WR and has a complete route tree. He could supplant most WR who are struggling to pick of an offense at a P5. I was arguing Williams was underecruited and coached up. How Corbin was rated out of high school doesn't take away from my arguement in any way. It doesn't lessen his value IOW.

     

    Skill positions are out there but that doesn't definitively say that Corbin wasn't offered or valuable. That's where you keep getting hung up. Skill players can move up or down a level and the fact that spots remain will never change. Your biggest mistake is lumping P5 together and placing them on the same level as each other. Corbin would start at Baylor et al. But they and Miami are not contenders or even P5 CFP contenders. Heck we've had some P5 skill players not make the roster. The  argument that P5s were not interested in Corbin is a total wash. Miami is a piss poor P5 and any player can fill roles when they transfer if the interest is there.

    I mean, I follow TX football closely, so I knew about him and how awesome he'd be while at Manvel.   But I'd say for more casual fans, he blew up in that nationally televised game VS Arizona where he pretty much had his way with their defense all night long.

    I believe you but some guys need to stop. I've seen some real ignorance on this board. That's including the rationale on another post suggesting UNT having the same talent as SMU.

    Jarrid Williams is an OL, one of the hardest position groups to fill and on one of Miami’s weakest position groups previously (possibly their worst). So he’s a little different than a skill position player.  Most G5s can get quality at those (WR, RB) positions, and the P5s usually get so many that they transfer DOWN. Corbin is a real difference maker at the G5 level. But unlike QB, OL, DL, he’s simply not such that a big P5 is going to feel a need to come sniffing around for. 
     

    And no, even though kids make dumb decisions, I’m not gonna believe they are going to get an offer from a big-time P5 and turn it down because their friend was staying at Houston or any other G5.

    “Yeah, I can get better coaching, more exposure, a chance at a FBS Championship, a better draft position to earn potentially millions of dollars, but I gotta stay here with my bro. Football and my future are important, sure, but college roommates are forever.”

    Dude Jarrid Williams was a 2 star with no other offers from any school except UH. P5 came sniffing around because they saw film on him after coach Jones got hands on him. Just like the rest of our OL. It had nothing to do with vacancy or difficulty with filling needs. The kid was underrated and under-recruited. And whether your logic checks out or not does not change the fact that Corbin had offers and wanted to stay for various reasons. For the most part athletes to want to stay at UH. I think you're projecting a bit since Jalen Guyton darted on you guys.

    You think a guy with no offers to a P5 can raise curiosity but a guy who had P5 offers out of high school didn't? Your own logic is imploding on you. And the sarcastic drivel at the end is silly. Most of it is debatable. Miami or any undisclosed P5 is automatically assumed "big time " or has a chance at a CFP spot? Outside of the top 10 it becomes nearly impossible. Some kids understand their best bet is to finish were they started, and can still make millions. Don't be a P5 elitist. You can play anywhere and get drafted. Even at UNT.

    Tell your buddy @NTXCoog.

    And, you're kidding if you think NT fans aren't aware of D'Eriq King.  Just about every college football fan is aware of D'Eriq King.  He's a monster.

    Corbin a "true number 2 WR"?   That's a guy who P5's are going to fall all over themselves to get?   He's not on King's level.  He's a fine player, no doubt.  And one that will likely give NT fits, but please be honest with yourselves Cougar fans.

    Here's to a fun game on Saturday, if it gets played.
    As an NT fan, I'm hoping for just enough rust on you guys that we can keep the game interesting.

    The question is not if y'all know. The question is when did y'all know King was a monster? My statement still stands. Corbin had P5 offers from Nebraska, Tech, and TCU coming out of high school. Not King's offer level but definitely no slouch. And again, he had offers to transfer when he redshirted. Jarrid Williams who starts at Miami only had one offer out of high school and it was to UH. If he can get an offer and start do you not think Corbin got offers? Corbin is a real difference maker if you've followed UH football since he's been there. Hoping for a good game but mostly hoping Corbin puts up more total yards than King does in his game. 😂 Good luck.

    Who's Sam Khan?   What is Holgorsen supposed to say?  And what was KING supposed to say?  His dad had already said it for him.
    And Keith Corbin (and weren't there even others?) are not NEARLY as good as King.  None of them were going anywhere else, because those P5 schools wouldn't want them.   King... different story. 
    It's OK, y'all will be fine.  No one else in America believed King was going to be a Cougar in 2020 though.

    If you don't know who Sam Khan is then you clearly don't keep up with UH which is ok but don't pretend to be knowledgeable. I do think King's dad made it clear of his decision, but some of y'all didn't know who King was until the redshirt controversy. I'm not sure why y'all pretend to know our roster when yall don't. Corbin from an output stand point can't be better than King because he's a WR. He is however just as good at his position as King is at his.  He's our true number 2 WR and you fellas are very fortunate he didn't play last year in Denton. As far as no one wanting him that's false. He had offers and so did Jarrid Williams who transferred with King and starts offensive line for Miami. Corbin decided to stay because his best friend and roommate Marquez Stevenson decided to stay.

    In zero ways was my post a dig on the man.  There is a ton of classless banter on sports boards.  This is not an example of it.

    You're right it was just the perfect time for you to say something unrelated. I guess that's better but not by much.

  11. Not sure but we had a couple of annoying unt fans on our boards before the game last year. Spamming the same thing over and over. Clown us all you want just please leave CBY out of it. He saw the value in everything. Even the city denton folk don't like.

    Well, if you like humidity and mosquitoes and fat people, Houston does have that going for them.

    All Denton has is arts and education...you know, the stuff that enhances humanity.

    Denton has arts,jazz,hippies and Doctor Phil. That's about it. Oh wait..even Dr. Phil left Denton. What about Norah Jones? Surely she still lives there, she's a musician! Oh no? She left too?💀

    My guess is the Texoma Four go to the PAC and KU goes to the B1G. Where anyone else goes from there is up for debate, but KSU and WVU are higher properties than ISU, TCU, and Baylor. 

    I don't care for the others but I hope Baylor gets booted to the Sun Belt.

    Furthermore, if the conference becomes more successful too soon in it's going to force a P5 conference (likely the Big XII) to cherry pick the AAC for more talent to continue to keep pace with other conferences.  Might be a little dramatic, but it's certainly possible.

    If the big 12 dissolves they will be the ones getting cherry picked. It's hard to call yourself a P5 conference if both OU and Horn leave the conference.

    That's funny.  I was in the business world (Houston Gulf Coast area) for nearly all of my adult like, but never met one single person with a business degree from cougar high.  Oops!  Did I say that.  Seriously, not one!

    BTW, my wife went to UH for two years and received her teaching degree from u of h.

    A bit biased in your response. If you'd lived in the city for that long you'd know about C.T. Bauer. I think its ranked 65 among public universities. Maybe premier was a stretch but that wasn't my intention. Bauer is a good school and Cullen College of Engineering is breaking the top 50 soon. These are the programs the school is known for. But if you ask anyone about unt and they'll tell you they immediately think of fine arts. That's what i ment by premier program. Not anything to do with rankings.

    Which one of UH's programs are considered premier?  Honestly, and I am not saying this to dig at you, but I have been in business for almost 30 years.  Outside of my 5 years in Houston, I have never run across a UH graduate.  It appears UH draws mainly from the Houston area and those grads stay in that market.

    Not dig taken. C.T. Bauer is the premier program IMO. Not saying it's the best in the country just stating that's what we're known for. We also have a medical school coming. 

    https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/university-of-houston-3652

    And I hope UH draws from Houston. Lol that would be embarrassing if we couldn't. I think most stay because of the 20 Fortune 500 companies in the area and of course we're a wide spread city with more job opportunities than you could ever apply for. 

    We can debate about the p6 thing all day. I don't think we are but half of the conference is legit. Much like the big 12 , pac 12, or ACC. You take away 3 teams from either of those conferences and you get some really terrible football.

    Typical Houston fan.  Lived there for 5 years and they have more animosity towards Dallas and DFW than anywhere I have seen.  Outside of that, good people and crappy weather.  I still can't figure out why you all are on our fan board the end of January.  Go tell someone else that King isn't transferring and Holgorsen is the answer.  I have watched both games at Apogee and have found Houston fans to be pretty douchey as a whole.  The only reason I can figure you are here on our little fan board is that you are tired of UofH taking a backseat in your hometown to UT, LSU and A&M.

    No one in Houston cares about DFW like that man. Are you being serious right now? The best thing to come out of DFW is vanilla ice and it's been a minute. No one is worried about Horn, LSU or A&M. They're big brands I'll admit , but its Houston; I'd expect people to move to the business capital of texas after they graduate.

    I landed on this board by searching "Boise State to the AAC" on Google. And after hours(hyperbole)down the rabbit hole I found this little gem. I didnt come over to measure penises but some of you can't help but start crap and deserve the retaliation. I mean seriously, you call out houston fans for animosity and the first thing you do is go wild on a person who doesn't share all of your views on the AAC. For the Eagles without this false sense of persecution and unwarranted hostility, you're always welcome on our boards. 

    The Holgerson and King thing is in the past for me. Sucks it didn't work out, but I'm truly unbothered by it. Some Coogs are still stuck on it but I've moved on. Plenty of talent on the roster to have a good season. At least better than the 4-8 record last year.  😂

    Damn, did I miss the memo?  Last I checked Univ of North Texas had a School of Engineering.  And I received my business degree from North Texas  many years ago.  Did they close the School of Business down and I didn't know about it?

    Being a school with a program and being a school known for something or a premier program at that particular school are two different things.

    Honesty downvotes would make more sense than openly trashing what UH has accomplished recently and the rep of the AAC. I dislike both but I have to admit UH and the AAC are kicking our ass. 

    Thanks for being civil. I just wanted to join some more expansion talk and people started throwing fecal matter everywhere. 😂 I will say when I visited Apogee last year most unt fans were pleasant. I'm smart enough to know this board doesn't reflect the entire population of unt supporters. Hope y'all win every game except the one in The Cage.
