Former Ryan quarterback Scotty Young is considering finishing his college career at North Texas, his father said Monday afternoon.

The 2009 Gatorade and Associated Press Player of the Year in Texas spent two seasons at Texas Tech. Young decided to transfer after last season when he was buried on the depth chart behind starter Seth Doege and backup Jacob Karam, who transferred to Memphis following the season.

“It’s something he is considering,” Jeff Young said of transferring to UNT. “I think it would be an attractive option for him. I would like for him to think about it.”

really??? are we sure??? DT has shown he can run this offense in his first year playing full time. he is only going to get better. not so sure about this...

Yes. 1000 times yes.

You want as many good players as you can get. Competition only makes everyone better. DT has also shown to be a bit injury prone, so having another good QB on the roster only helps.

What also gives me hope is that Young was buried on Tuberville's roster. If there is one Big 12 head coach I don't trust to evaluate talent, it's Tommy T.

Could Young stil register late for this semester?

Really??? Are you sure??? If Young can come in and knock off a senior in his third year of an offense, then he deserves the starting position. I'm not saying we hand it to him, but since when do we turn our nose up at 4* players....correction, 4* quarterbacks? It's a no brainer.

The answer is DUH!

We have DT who would be a Senior in 2013 before S.Y. would be eligible.

S. Young would have to sit out the 2012 season but would have 2 years left as a Junior (RS).

Young used his red shirt his freshman year at Tech so that would not be available for him here.

We never had a 2nd string QB this year, we all know that.

Cooper Jones will get his shot and we will see if the others woke up the morning of the spring game and learned how to play QB.

D.T. is a good QB yes but why not have a Scotty Young who could finally get Denton off their arses at home and into Appogee?!?

This works out perfect, it gives Scotty a chance to:

-learn Chico's offense for his year he has to sit out and adjust to the new campus

-play at home in front of his family and friends

-FINALLY get some support we desperately need from the near 100,000 of the Denton community.

-Get some interest from the Denton HS players. Showing that it is a great opportunity to stay in town at a magnificent University in your own backyard and the opportunity to play in one of the best stadiums in the country.

This would make us feel very comfortable knowing in 2013 we have a DT as a senior and a Scotty Young going head to head for the starting position.

Scotty is starting at Tech this past season if Leach is still around. Tuberville has done a lot to change that programs philosophy and he began by not playing/recognizing any true talent. The proof is all in their record and the amount of playing time Adam James received.

Even Leach said the team Tech had the year after he was fired would have been better than Harrell/Crabtree and I don't believe that was frustration or propoganda talk.

The headline should have read "Scotty Young's Father Considering UNT."

I hope Scotty listens to his very wise father.

Nope. He clearly said Scotty was considering North Texas.

“It’s something he is considering,” Jeff Young said of transferring to UNT.

Well, from the video clip that Harry posted, it's obvious that he has a great arm. But I thought that Coach Mac likes his QB's to be mobile as well. In the MGB it mentions that he is a "pro-style" QB. That usually means not very mobile.

He looks like a great Todd Dodge QB. But is he a Coach Mac/Coach Canales-type QB?

I don't see a ton of schools ahead of us in this race. Larger schools are going to have a stiffer competition at that position and would want more than 2 years of eligibility unless he's a real stud (not saying he isn't, but jury is out if he was burried on the depth chart). I would think being front Denton also gives us a leg up, I hope we can get him.

      Maniacs to extend their presence to football in 2024

      Ok... as far as strawman arguments and equivalency go... that was just the worst. A terrorist attack vs a spirit group? I get we love football but that's not even apples and Oranges. Thats... apples and GMO modified asparagus grown from the enriched soil from the moon.

      It is very common for players that enter the portal, to return to their old teams. Obviously, the coach has to want them back and be willing to set a precedent that will allow players to return. I would expect a lot of programs are not willing to do that. However, in reality the better the player is; the more likely he/she will be welcomed back.

      Looking to discuss, or debate: the future of CFB.

      PS: I would like to add that I have NEVER been correct in predicting how conference will realign. I thought that a movement towards regional conferences in an effort to curb rising travel expenses and increase gate attendance would be the way to go. Silly me . Stanford and Cal joined the ACC , UNT added a polo team,and here we sit. Oh well!

      Looking to discuss, or debate: the future of CFB.

      Private schools may be caught in the middle, unless you are USC. My best guess is that if you are in an existing P4 school you will have the option of playing with the big boys or dropping down.The Big 10 and SEC are driving this realignment along with television and streaming services. For the sake of argument lets say it is decided by the decision makers to take 50 high profile football programs and spin them off from the NCAA. With the Big 10 and SEC accounting for at least 30 schools that leaves 20 to be added from the ACC and Big 12 conferences plus Notre Dame . I don't know if the SEC will kick Vanderbilt to the curb but I doubt P4 private schools such as SMU,TCU, and Baylor will be invited to the party as this new conglomerate is looking for programs that have somewhat of a national presence. But what about schools like Mississippi State for example.Well, they are already in the fraternity, sort of like a legacy. You may not want them in but you can't kick them out. Any G6 program that anticipates a "bid" is "whistling Dixie" , as we old timers used to say. I wish the the existing P6 conferences would make the first move and leave the NCAA in football and establish their own playoff system extending an open invitation to the P4 programs who will be left behind .However since I have no idea what television and streaming services stances are its hard for me to fault them for not going all in.
