Surely he will go to SMU -- with the former coach being there.  This one seems sort of anticlimactic to me.

I get the impression they will announce the same school? If so I think our Qb situation is n our favor!

It's kids leading people on. It's what they do. If they both come here then absolutely fantastic. If not, then you know what they can do.

I don't think it's been mentioned. But English current coach is Snyder who was also New DC Mike Ekeler head coach during college. Maybe we had an inside track... Some one said on hear that Ekeler was one of Snyders favorites

They won't be as sassy as this combo

Someone on their forum is thinking they are taking their talents to Denton. Let's cross our fingers!

That's my best guess also. Closer to home for both of them. SMU is bad and will afford the same early playing time opportunities that UNT will.

Bryce English a former 3-Star DT out of Desoto. He is transferring to be closer to his dad that was diagnosed with cancer. He could be granted a hardship waiver and be eligible in 2016. Offers from Kansas State, Arizona State, Arkansas, Iowa, Iowa State, Kansas, Texas, UCLA, Wisconsin, TCU. He is a bowling ball at 5-11 330lbs:

Don't forget Nick Orr is at TCU. They could be considering Fort Worth as well.

The only caveat to that is if it's a combo deal then TCU has Kenny Hill in 2016 and 2017. That might sway Kincade away from TCU. Again, if its between UNT, SMU, and TCU then it comes down to playing time vs a chance at winning a national title.

Smu has davis one more year then Ben Hicks should be ready for SMU.

I agree but TCU doesn't make a ton of sense. If he was going to transfer and sit out a year why go to a place you probably wont play at (TCU). Might as well stay at ole miss and see if there's an injury. Thinking its a 2 horse race between us and smWho and both twitter accounts I've seen more unt things retweeted. I think Littrell is about to land this combo!

I believe Kincade also stated that he wanted to be closer to home to take care of his mom but didn't specify further than that. So Ole Miss would seem to be out in that scenario.

Interacting with them on there, they don't seem to think the hardship waiver exists anymore because it was being abused. Can anyone confirm? 

ETA: Looks like they are right, just found this.

So English would have to sit a year as well I'm guessing.

The universities are saying, take that year, deal with whatever your family situation is. We know that when you transfer your probability of graduating goes down, so make sure you get your academics back up. But we don’t want to punish you so we’re going to extend another year of eligibility. We want to give you another year of scholarship, add another year to your scholarship total so that you end up being held harmless basically if you have to make that change.

So it doesn't burn a year of eligibility but they won't be able to be immediately eligible anymore if I'm reading correctly? So he'd be eligible in 2017 and still have 3 years of eligibility after that.

That is what I'm reading as well. It looks like this was implemented this year, after the abuse of these waivers the previous couple years before.

Yeah this is brand new so lots of confusion on this. Most of us assumed it still existed. Both would have to sit out a year so that changes things a bit. Would still like to have them.

So Kincade has 2 years left then after 2017?

He will have one season remaining after sitting out 2016. 2017 will be it.
