There is something going on behind the scenes with this young man.  He has too much talent to not get on the field much for LSU.  Hopefully he can get closer to home and figure it out.  

If he does, this is a homerun for us.  I don't mind giving a kid a chance as long as he isn't a cancer to the team.  That LSU was willing to let him come back tells me that he is not.  

I love that we are getting this level of transfer, even if he comes with a question mark.

The reactions to your comment are perplexing. Took a few minutes of research to see there is some unexplained stuff. He was left off the team at one point at LSU for unknown reasons and also transferred to OU for 2 months before going back to LSU. He had three separate stints at LSU where he left the team before returning. https://lsutigerswire.usatoday.com/2023/08/09/lsu-football-tre-bradford-second-chance-brian-kelly-explains/#


That isn’t a hater comment to make given his history. Hopefully he balls out and it comes together at North Texas.

So, you also have no idea why he had these issues

How is talking about the news surrounding a player in a forum where we discuss North Texas football something that bothers you? Neither my comment nor the one I responded to are hating for the sake of it, we hope he does well. It’s still a great pickup for the school.

I think we should and will take more flyers on kids in today's portal environment. A percentage of a class consists of grad transfers and/or undergrad transfers; who may be out the following year. Here today and gone tomorrow. We have signed over 40 kids and are not through. This is another reason, in my opinion, to not invest too heavily in high school kids. (who would normally need a redshirt) Maybe this year was an outlier with over 20 that entered the portal. 

An historical review of past classes has always yielded kids (high school and juco) that never panned out. Why not bring in a 4-star periodically with question marks?

Speaking of RB's, what is the status of Farrar?

As far as I know, he is still on roster. I feel like he'll most likely serve as main PR/KR if he decides to stay. It'll be interesting to see if he can make the rotation this year!

Gilbert was his HS head coach. Kids had some problems but I think if anyone can get him on the right track it's Gilbert.  Worth the gamble

None of us have ever experienced this (I don't think) He went from being one of the top recruited, top ranked, the GUY at his HS to not sniffing the field.  That can definitely do stuff to one's mindset.  I have no clue about any of it other than from players I've had who weren't nearly as talented as him who went through the same thing being the guy in HS then get to college and for whatever reason don't crack the field.  You go from football being everything and most of the reason people know who you are, to not playing.  Harder on young men than one would think.

Just reading the stuff that was officially reported my first reaction was/is "is this young man bipolar?". 

If he is, I’d hope we can try and get him the help he needs.. I highly doubt he made it all that time at LSU without someone trying to get him help, but he’s back with his HS coach where to my knowledge he didn’t have issues.

No, while he is here his primary coach is Coach Cobbs.  Coach Cobbs has the first and last word on how this young man fits into the system. If this young man doesn't like the decisions that Coach Cobbs is making, he had better jump somewhere else and do it quick. Because this team doesn't need someone who can cause trouble in the locker room. And long ago, Coach Cobbs has earned the right to be treated with  the utmost respect. 

So I certainly hope that Coach Cobbs has been signing off on the process from the very beginning.

Not sure why you got downvoted for this.  Would you get downvoted for suggesting he had diabetes, cancer, asthma, etc.  All are legitimate conditions that require treatment.  
 

Whatever the issue might be, I hope he can get the help he needs.  If that enables him to help us in football, great, but my main concern would be for his future well being.

      How Mean Green softball is shaping up in 2025 and beyond

      In my relatively short time as a Mean Green fan, I don't think I've seen a team so carried by seniors. This weekend's series was the last three games at Lovelace for 10 Mean Green seniors, and all but one (Truitt) was either an everyday starter or saw significant playing time. Here's who will be returning barring any transfers. All classifications are what they will be in 2025. Likely starters (in my opinion) Rylee Nicholson (SR) - UT Cierra Simon (SR) - SS Madison Conley (SO) - UT Tatum Sparks (JR) - UT Elizabeth Moffitt (SO) - C Jodie Epperson (JR) - OF Returning Pitching Staff Skylar Savage (SR) Mackenzie Childers (JR) Kayleigh Smith (SO) Returning, but will they play? Mikaela Olguin (JR) - OF Emma Grahmann (SR) - IF Blayze McNemar (SO or RS-F?) - OF Maci George (SO or RS-F?) - IF There doesn't appear to be a website to find commits for softball, so through social media, here are the incoming freshmen I have found: Katy Brock, OF, Mabank Shelby Buffington, P, Franklin Page (Tennessee) Rylie Harris, C, Forney Gracie Mahoney, P, Macomb Dakota (Michigan) - another 6 footer, like Skylar Ausha Moore, IF, Carl Albert HS (Midwest City, OK) Taylor Platt, OF, Argyle Committed Inbound Freshmen for 2026 Eva Daniels, IF, Forney Laila Nobles, IF, Pearland Addie Perry, UT/C, Aledo Love the Metroplex talent we are bringing in. Forney's currently the #1 team in the state. But looks like we still have a handful of spots to fill next year. Going to need to improve the hitting and power. Maybe we can land some home run threats in the portal who want to get closer to home. I'll post stories and highlights of the commits shortly.

      Former Drake Guard Atin Wright commits to North Texas

      Hopefully after a few more years we will all be more accepting of heartbreak. I got used to it in high school.

      Yes, foolish us fans for thinking players are here in the program and loyal to the school.

      Former Drake Guard Atin Wright commits to North Texas

      It's easier for us to say it's fun since we're not the ones who have to recruit an entire new team every year, but it's honestly exciting to see how the new team is built. The max exodi of beloved players sucks, but in this new age losing guys like TP, Drez, Rubin and Aaron doesn't have to mean a several-year rebuild. Now we can "retool" and even get better. I think this year was more of a gut punch because it felt to me and many others that Rubin and Aaron were Mean Green for life. They've been the constant leaders throughout the past turnover. But even healthy we weren't the most talented team in the conference. And I trust Hodge. The past seven years Grant and Hodge have run a clean program and as much as I love the guys who have played for us, I trust Hodge and Forte will continue recruiting players who will be good representatives of the university, even if only for a year. I also agree we need two more PF's - at least one who can space the floor shooting 3's. Assuming we have at least three scholarships left, so assume we'll see another guard. I'd like to see us bring on one guy who's averaged 18PPG or more. Doesn't matter which position though it'd be a nice changeup for it to be a high scoring big man.
