Here's his writeup on Mason Fine.

[DeepGreen]

“Then again, if Mason Fine were a little bigger, he probably wouldn’t be at North Texas. After all, that would’ve given you a reason to believe in him.”

This is the kind of funk, crap perception we have overcome.  We just have to.

Yes, but it's also a dig at the "measurables" crowd.

I don't think so. His statement before that was that if Fine were bigger, the hit he took at the end wouldn't have hurt him as much. But, in the proposed hypothetical where Mason Fine is bigger you also would have to consider that he would have had P5 offers. That's what Tepper was getting at.

Tepper is a Fine fan. It’s meant as a chastising dig at others.

I disagree.  The gist of his article is that people have consistently doubted him due to his stature...to their own peril

Littrell himself said it when we were recruiting Fine. I don't thinks it's crap perception. I think it's reality for G5 programs. Good high school quarterbacks who have good size get bombarded with P5 offers. Most G5s have to choose between short QBs like Fine, Rakeem Cato, Blake Bogenschutz, etc. or try to develop tall QBs who don't have great production, like Connor Means (50% completion percentage in high school) or Josh Greer types.

I think it's total dig on the size crowd more than us. If he were 6'2" he'd be at OU or OSU. (P5 in his home state vs G5 in Texas.) Its honesty vs a slap at us in my opinion. He is saying the kid is a hell of QB and Lettrell recognized it when others didn't. My take anyway.

[oldguystudent]

All that matters to me is that he's here.  He's awesome.  And he's got a hell of a head on his shoulders -- not some popped collar I went to all the rich kid QB camps in the suburbs douchebag. 

[greenminer]

Looks like Fine has 20 career TDs (Rushing + Passing) at UNT.

I would be alright with him accounting for another 143 to match his HS career.  Get to work, sir.
