'll be taking number 47, Terrence Johnson. in terms of combination of size and athleticism, he may be tops on the roster and his shift to the defensive line from (the criminally under-utilized) position of tight end has me intrigued. from what I understand he was a late-comer to football, so this may be a long-term investment on my part, but if it clicks for him, I think he could be a real important piece to this defense over the next four years

Do you always pick people who don't even play?

about a dozen replies, the last one being end of July. 

 

you guys are the suckiest bunch of sucks whoever sucked. 

Have you seen the schedule?   Do you know who the Athletic Director is?  Did you see SMU & Portland St last weekend?  We're staring 0-12 in the face.  Why would anyone want to adopt any of these scrub players?

it's the inner-hipster in me...I was listening to Ivan Delgado and Darnell Smith a few years ago...well before they were mainstream. my last couple bands didn't really take off...but you wouldn't get their stuff anyway, square. 

plus...this way, there's no real skin off either mine or the players back once I mentally check out on the season around game 4.

if you won't call them scrubs to their face don't do it here.   These guys work their ass off to represent UNT.  Now go hang out with Cougar Queen.

EDIT:  nevermind, the threads got merged...  Now you're in the linked thread.

      The Athletic on DFW Football recruiting

      You'll see that you will enjoy your time and money a lot more. I quit about 2 years ago, when it became apparent that G5s were just minor leagues for the P5s. I knew it was coming, as I posted about this exact situation for years before on here. And there will be many others that are much higher up the foodchain than us who will see this happen to. I see the breakaway having 30-50 schools for their own athletics. Really, if the top 24 schools wanted to form their own setup, they could easily. Texas, A&M, OU, LSU, etc...they all have the eyeballs and the media and the legislative support from their states. I loved getting 6+ hours back on Saturdays in the fall. I loved using those funds towards family trips and better entertainment opportunities for all of us. like concerts and golf. To be honest, the time was better to get back than the money. More time with family and friends on the weekend, as well as more time for stuff with church and the community was the best surprise of all. I don't even blame players for getting theirs, either. More money and more exposure in the P5s that these guys grew up rooting for and dreaming of playing for all adds up to an easy decision for these guys. Basically, the players are catching up to what the coaches got to do without any qualms for years. Again, if we hadn't quit on the program back in the early 80's with the ridiculous drop down to i-aa when the SWC was one of the kings of the NCAA, it just nuked the program. You lost generations of fans and alumni from the past and the future, most of whom just picked up another school to root for or just become pro fans only, all while completely dropping the program's status with TX HS coaches and parents, maybe things would be different today, I'd like to guess at a minimum, we could have been a UH type program, maybe higher because of our location. Had we had any vision, the old Big Eight would have been the perfect conference to go all in to join instead of the SWC. We could have given that entire league a DFW presence, instead of just OU. And getting to play OU, Nebraska, Colorado, OSU, KU, KSU, Missouri, and ISU as conference mates in both football and hoops would have jumped us over ALL of the SWC privates. UH and Tech would've been peers instead of being steps above us as SWC members. But we didn't...we just gave up.

      Doesn't seem new, but unlimited transfers

      I applaud his effort to become innovative. Let's try something like this - corporate sponsors provide a pool of money that is made available based on performance in the league and all-conference teams. Graduating players would get their bonus in the year it happens, while players with remaining eligibility would get their bonus at the beginning of the following football season once school has started (which would mean that they are still enrolled in the same school where they performed and gained the all-conference honors). This would perhaps entice players not to bolt once they have success.

      Head coach, not anymore

      I think it's pretty clear that Deion wants a revolving door of players every year. And his best players are staying, and at least some of those who entered the portal were encouraged to do so.

      Head coach, not anymore

      This seems to be the norm that we will live with in college football. But in Dion's case, when you recruit players with a sales pitch on doing what is best for "me," don't be surprised when they have no loyalty to you.

      Spring transfer portal

      I mean like wow, we must have the highest exit rate of any program pertaining to NIL. I think UNT needs to focus on one and done guys that will graduate or whatever until these type of NIL and portal rules get addressed by our politicians.
