Give the staff credit for a lot happening. I was still hoping to see more transfers on the defensive side of the ball, but still time to .go

We've heard that relationships with HS coaches is important to the overall recruiting process. I can't imaging that pulling a recruit's offer does much for that relationship unless the HS coach has been consulted and is in complete agreement. This was another area that seems concerning if we are offering only to pull the offer at a later date. Are we burning bridges?
Those are good points, and I agree it can be a slippery slope. I have seen HS coaches post messages about college coaches no longer being welcome because of how they handled the situation. I would guess a lot has to do with how each case is dealt with. But at the same time, to be the devil's advocate, if a player decommits from a school, should that school no longer recruit at that high school? I understand the coaches are looking out for their players, but things change, and hopefully, if both sides communicate, it can lessen the hard feelings.

Jasper's Dad, John, played at Denton High and North Texas. He would have been in school from '83 - '86. I think he played briefly with the Steelers and has been an NFL strength coach for years. You have probably seen him running the bench press at the combine. Jasper's grandfather, John's Dad, was Dr. Lott that taught Anatomy/Physiology at North Texas forever and was famous for being an incredibly tough professor. I dreaded taking his classes, but am thankful to this day that I had him.
Jasper is 6'5" and weighs 295 lbs. He was a three star - .8652 rated recruit out of Argyle HS that signed with TCU. He also had offers from Houston, W VA, Auburn, Arkansas, Virginia, smu, Ole Miss, Missouri, Purdue, Pitt, MN, TX Tech, OK St., LSU, CO and Vandy.
Lifer, do you know if TCU recruited him as a TE or lineman?

Confused about the claim he moved up. All three positions as grad assistant.
The way coaches use grad assistants and anyaylst can mean a lot of different things. Many of them have have a lot of responsibilities. Shouldn't let the title mislead their actual duties.

Not really. I just don't get the infatuation you and a few other smuT fans have with North Texas and our board. We aren't in the same conference since you all ran away, we won't be playing each other in the future, so I don't understand why you and your cohorts keep showing up.
Several posters on this board should be banned for constantly posting things about other schools, and many posts should be taken down. However, getting clicks is the name of the game, and even though this board is supposed to be about the Mean Green, clicks mean even more. I think you would be very hard-pressed to find another College Board where the people who run the board allow another school's fans to come on and post as much as is allowed here. So before you comment about my comment about clicks meaning more, think about that.

I did say we may never know the particular circumstances, but I don't think comparing the decisions of a 17/18 year old teenager to the decisions of adults who are professionals in the field and paid handsomely for their experience and expertise are quite the same. Maybe the coaching staff should post a red puzzle piece every time they pull an offer and we can all speculate who it is and what they did.
So 17/18-year-olds can make NIL decisions and commit and decomit, but in your opinion, they should be able to do that since their only 17/18? These same 17/18-year-olds are talking about making "business" decisions. If they want to be a part of the "business" world then they should be just as accountable.

Just wondering how long it will take some of you to move on from CR? Will we have to see every online story reposted? He, by his choice, is no longer here. The occasional update is ok, but please we do not need to follow his day-to-day life on the Mean Green Football forum.

I guess we will never know the particular circumstances, but it does seem odd that our coaching staff would evaluate a player, think highly enough of them to offer a scholarship, have the player commit their acceptance (publicly/verbally) and then later that same coaching staff says, "ummm, never mind." What does this practice do to the relationships with HS coaches we're told are so important to our recruiting efforts?
So a player can decommit and move on and everyone's supposed to be okay but the school makes a decision not to continue with their offer and something's wrong with them? How do we know the young man didn't do or say something?

Now that he is in the ACC, if he leads Cal to a win (or wins) over SMU many on this board will forgive that indifference and want to put him in our HOF.
Leaving as a grad transfer is one thing. But if you have eligibility left and you transfer out as an undergraduate you should absolutely never be considered for the Hall of Fame

We're definitely not winning 5 games without him, that's for sure.
I don't dispute the fact he was a very good quarterback for us. But it seems nowadays the word great gets thrown around quite often.

He was great. The 5-7 season came from having the worst defense in FBS.
He is very good and put up great stats. Great players win games.

There is already a divide, even though everyone is in FBS. Perhaps an official split will help to bring some sanity back to college athletics. There will still be available TV deals for those not part of the Pay-for-play conference or whatever you want to call it. It will be interesting to see how they set up the crossover games between the pay-for-play conference and whatever the rest of us are called. I hope once it splits, if teams at our level play one of the paper place schools, they're getting at least 2 million plus per game.

With all the talk of NIL etc., I was wondering if anyone else caught what Chris Fowler said during the ceremony. Something to the effect of they were basically professionals. I could have misunderstood stood what he said, but that was my takeaway.
Some players will take a pay cut to enter the NFL at the rate it's going.

I also have a service academy question. With both Army & Navy sharing a conference what happens when one of them is good enough to qualify for the conference championship game?
They would play in it and then play the "Army-Navy" game after. If they were the top two teams in the American, they would end up playing back-to-back games.
Part of the agreement in getting Army to join was that this game would stay as is and would not be counted as a conference game. -

Honestly, this is exactly the type of transfer we should be going after. Redshirt freshman who's spent 2 seasons in a P5 strength and conditioning program. He has P5 size, something we lack, and he'll use his free transfer to come in. We can have him for 3 seasons before he can leave again (unless be wants to sit out a season). He's also from DFW so this is coming home for him. If you're not excited by this commitment, you're just looking for reasons to be negative.
Great point. Just like the young man we lost at the end last year to Florida State a lot of high three stars will go to some of the top programs but will find themselves too far down the depth chart as these schools like Florida State or Texas are constantly adding four star and five star players. Hopefully this young man works out and has a great career at North Texas
