Colorado Transfer Owen McCown?

[gordo nation]

I saw on twitter that McCown was rumored to be transfering to UNT. He's a Texas guy so I can believe it, I just don't know how legit these claims are

Good bloodlines.  I think his dad played in the NFL Luke.

We know they will be losing some guys based on the coaching change - sounds reasonable 🤔

Josh, but otherwise correct. Luke was his uncle. 

Basic scouting report was that he's a cerebral, late-bloomer. Understands the position but he still needs physical development. Pretty thin. As a true freshman, he looked pretty decent in his limited time. Played in the redshirt max 4 games, but he also got a little banged up in that time. 

Lefty, which means he's automatically awesome.

Josh’s boy. But similar bloodlines to the mannings

My question is, who on our staff is recruiting him right now? It would seem odd for him to commit without knowing who would even be on staff.

Sounds like a little more than "played in" 4 games.

"Originally slated to redshirt so he could develop his body, McCown came off the bench to make his debut late in a 49-7 loss to Minnesota on Sept. 17. He then started the next three games. In his third start, Oct. 15 at Folsom Field against California, McCown was banged up and relieved by junior JT Shrout.

McCown was unable to play the next few weeks wound up sitting out the final six games so he could preserve his redshirt. He played in four games, the maximum allowed to keep a redshirt, so he will have four seasons of eligibility remaining."

Lefty can he play basketball?

He knows something we don’t?

Those still on staff are still on staff and should be recruiting.  Even if, at a minimum, kicking the tires and/or building relationships.   
 

Is someone recruiting him, who knows.  But someone, or multiple someones, on staff is working the portal to some extent.

They keep working and recruiting for a couple of reasons. 1st, possibility of staying on with the new coach. 2nd, showing future potential employers you take the job serious.

Maybe our new HC is already in place, unofficially. And he's nabbing guys already? Pure speculation.

An offer went out a couple of days ago. I found it strange that it didn’t have the normal fanfare to it. It was a 3rd party making the announcement. Not the player and not UNT. A lineman, I think.

Good offer list out of HS. Wasn’t Traylor involved with the McCowans brothers in HS or college? I saw UTSA offered out of HS.Also might want to  Keep an eye on Brenden Lewis out of Mellissa.

What if his dad is our new HC? I know the Texans were trying really hard to find the justification to make him their head coach before they hired Culley. Wiki says he lives in Waxahachie.

Regardless it is smart of Owen to transfer because everyone on the planet already knows the starting quarterback for CU next year.

I think Traylor coached his dad at Jacksonville.

Yes, for about nine different teams.  But, he had a pretty good career.

I'm wondering why the rumor wasn't to SMU.  That's where his dad played.

[MeanGreenTexan]

I'm more interested in the other ex-Colorado QB that's in the portal.

Could be a great QB coach?
