Exciting stuff.

1. McNulty the #3 QB, not much separation between him and #2 and #1. I really didn't see that. Based on everything I had heard, I thought he was going to be a project, and that might be at any of several positions. Very good to hear.

2. Cyril Lemon starting guard. When's the last time we had a true freshman starting on the O-line in the season opener? I'm sure it's happened, but I can't remember the last time.

3. WRs the most improved unit. I really wasn't too worried about them, but certain people (*ahem*) have suggested that our diminished WR corps would lose us games. Doesn't sound like it.

Nick Zuniga? I know he played four years, but I can't remember if he started the very first game of his freshman year.

Folks, it takes more than being big, quick and strong to start as a freshman in the O-line. The O-line is one of the hardest positions to learn. And any freshman that beats out anyone with any sort of D-1 experience is a pretty special player.

I believe Nick started as a sophmore...but could be wrong...

I see this as a good thing for the O Line....We all know that the line was not very deep and a few injuries or poor performance by some of the starters could spell doom for us....For a freshman we did not expect to see action step forward in August to impress our experienced coaches enough to be named a starter means that our depth just improved by one.

Nick Zuniga "Bull" started as a true freshman and played all four years. I heard that Freddie Warner will see time in the secondary and special teams. He will not play offense this year. Antonio Johnson plays tackle not guard different position than Lemon. Johnson will be on the two deep but not clear if he will start yet.

He's only a RS Freshman. I think we'll hear from him in the future.

I agree.....He came into summer conditioning in June of 2010 only 17 years old and from a small school...I think he just needs a little more time and then will be really solid.

Source???

I thought that A. Johnson was a tackle.

They could be moving Fortenberry to tackle no? Pure speculation but that would put Tomlinson(right tackle) next to Lemon (right guard) JJ at center and Fortenberry at left tackle and Y'Barbo at left guard?

I have heard McNulty reminds people of Scott Hall, not the most technical qb but finds way to make first downs and gets the job done. If we have another Scott on our hands I will be very happy! Scott Hall for NT Hall of Fame!

So....do we now have yet another QB controversy? For what, the 15th year in a row?! Even when Hall was starting and winning conference, we argued over Hall or Smith!*

I mean, I'd be thrilled if we have another Hall on our hands---but I'm so sick of sending out frosh QBs that I can't stand it.

**Though I'd LOVE to get back to that kind of QB controversy---arguing over 2 GOOD, veteran QBs**

      Atin Wright is officially signed with Mean Green

      DENTON – The UNT men's basketball team has signed Missouri Valley Conference All-Tournament team selection transfer guard Atin Wright. Wright comes to North Texas from Drake where he was the MVC champion's second leading scorer averaging over 14 points per game during the season and was one of the league's top 3-point shooters as he made 65 long range shots at a 40.6 percent clip. The 6-foot-1 guard started all 32 games he played in last year and helped lead the Bulldogs to the 2024 MVC Tournament championship as he averaged 16.3 points per tournament game and poured in 17 points in the title win over Indiana State. For his tournament performance he was named to the league's all-tournament team. Wright will have one year of eligibility remaining. In Drake's NCAA Tournament game last year, Wright led all players as he scored 20 points on 8-of-14 shooting versus Washington State. It was his ninth 20-point game of the season. He scored a season-high 26 points on Feb. 13 in a 78-75 road win over Evansville. In that three-point win at Evansville, Wright sank a 40-foot-game-winner at the buzzer. One of those 20-point performances came on the road against American Athletic Conference foe UAB on Dec. 22. Wright scored 20 points versus the Blazers on 11 shot attempts to go along with a pair of steals. Wright last year played six games against opponents who reached the 2024 NCAA Tournament. In those six games he averaged 15.1 points per game, including three 20-point performances. Drake went 4-2 in those games. The Hawthorne, California, native began his collegiate career at Cal State Northridge. He played three seasons for the Matadors and was a two-time Big West All-Conference honoree before transferring to Drake in 2023. In his final year at CSUN (2022-23), Wright averaged 16.7 points per game. On Feb. 15, 2023, he set the Matadors single-game scoring record as he dropped 42 points at UC Davis. Wright will join North Texas with 116 career games played, 1,530 career points scored, 198 career 3-pointers made and 174 career assists. A southern California native, Wright graduated from Fairmont Prep in Orange County. He averaged 22.7 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.1 steals per game as a high school senior. He led Fairmont to a league title his senior year and advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2AA California Southern Sectional playoff round. His junior year, he led Orange County in scoring with 25 points per game and was named Southern Section Class 4AA Player of the Year. North Texas is coming off a 19-win season under first-year head coach Ross Hodge where they reached the second round of the NIT. He was the only rookie head coach last year to lead his respective team to either the NCAA Tournament or NIT. The Mean Green won 10 league games in their first season in the American Athletic Conference. It was the most league wins by a first year UNT head coach. UNT is one of just seven schools in the country who has won a NCAA postseason game in each of the last four seasons.

      Any free agent signings?

      Houston only had one player drafted this year. Big deal.
