A Fine Thought

[TheReal_jayD]

Just rewatched the Rice game highlight. I'm not saying Fine is lighting up the stats shit. But he is managing the game well and minimizing mistakes. He is also showing unbelievable leadership, pose, toughness and charisma. And he is showing all this with just being in Denton a little over 2 months. It is exciting to think what the product will look like when he has a full offseasom under his belt with Graham and Seth. Fun times are ahead of us in New Denton i believe

Agree. But the coaching staff should be looking for a top notch backup or two in the next recruiting class.  Find another Fine.

There's a Mr. Cade Pearson that would like a word with you. He looks pretty damn good and seems to be fairly overlooked

Hope we sign him but he's not on campus yet.  Long way to go until signing day.

Can't wait to see cade on campus.   The Pearson / Fine combo would be potentially the best qb situation we've had in my time as a fan.

With the continued success of Fine and the continued praise from the coaches, will this limit our prospects for Qbs in the next class? One of our biggest selling points is you can be a starter now! Houston has been unreal on how they continue to bring in talented qbs! GMG

I think that "QBs have great success under this coaching staff" is a better selling point to most of these kids. Typically, they are competitive and believe they can win the starting job.

Fine will  fine this season and then for the next 3 years. 

Hey folks, he's only played most of 4 games at the NCAA D1 level & I haven't seen anything that makes me think he will go backwards with his progress.                                        

He's a gamer & one that has played a part in re-sparking the interest in a football season that some on this board thought would be a win'less football season.   

He stuck with his commitment to North Texas when he could have bailed with a preferred W.O. situation at OU & OSU who reportedly made last minute efforts to change his mind. Those 2 schools were given a nice tip from someone who said they should get him on both their respective campuses.    How many kids have we seen change their minds in recruiting wars the last umpteen years who could have made a huge difference in our W/L records ?    Mason Fine stuck with us--we should stick with him.

GMG!

Yep, Cade Pearson is on the way.  I would like to see us sign two this coming class with the second being Seth Washington.

Why?  Just curious, but do you have some information worth sharing or was he someone Harrell connected with while at Washington State?

The last one I can think of was Hall/Smith that I got excited about.

Well considering he is our recruiting expert and we've offered him I'd assume the staff is going after him pretty hard. After next year our QB cupboard is bare. Shanbour gone, Means converted, O'hara gone, Morris gone, Chumley coverted. As of right now the only other QB we have past 2017 besides Fine (and he's not a guarantee as a PWO) is Mitch Cason

I wouldn't be surprised to see this staff try to get 2 QB's this class

Just from talking to people involved in situation. And with Robbie he seems very interested with the program and the staff. Idk about Seth and his interest level at all. But he has never  really seemed that interested to me. I have been wrong before. But if i was a betting man I always thought our two best chances for QB have been Cade Pearson and Robbie Blosser.  

[TheReal_jayD]

Robbie did tie the California state record for 9 tds in a game a couple of weeks ago 

[outoftown]

In a perfect world we'd get at least one talented freshman QB to redshirt next season. That player could then backup Mason in his last two seasons and be the starter for two years after that.

[LETitFLYguy]

Robbie Blosser would be an amzing signing for North Texas.  Kid can sling it.

Through 5 games (via MaxPreps and @UNTLifer). Pearson has nearly matched his totals from last year.

Player	Comp	Att	%Cmp	Yds	Yds/Att	TDs	Yds/G
Pearson	75	118	63.6%	1237	10.48	15	247.4
Blosser	84	121	69.4%	1512	12.50	23	302.4

(hope formatting works)

Blosser school is quite a bit smaller that Pearson. its almost a 1/4 of the size. I believe it actually smaller school than Mason Fines. i believe that could be hurting his recrui
ting

Jeremy Hodge out of Dallas would be solid too

I'm from Texas High. It's certainly big; Texarkana big. But definitely not DFW suburbs big.

I was referring to Robbie school being small Salesian High School in Cali has 525 kids. Texas High has 1,891 kids. 

[PlummMeanGreen]

Always need linemen...the toughest for most G5 programs to recruit. 

Was impressed with blocking vs Rice especially from a particular RB.

GMG!
