Bump

Blazers on the red team. Brown and Harris got the start. Mitchell, lead punt returner

Brontae got the start at corner for team Aina. Myron Mitchell was the starting punt returner, and Spencer is the starting RB

Jinx.

You think North Texas would have faired any better had Bussey not left for Hawaii?

At least they got a trip to Hawaii...

Did our guys play well?

Not a lot of chances. Basically every time Spencer was in the game a pass play was called. Mitchell only got targeted once that I saw and the QB under-threw him for an INT. Bronte Harris had the best game of the three I would assume because they really never even challenged him in the passing game that I saw.

that game is not very important,,,it is more the days before the game where players can shine

As a practical matter, it’s rare for players in the hula bowl to get drafted. I think historically it’s something like 2-3 players a year get drafted and another 10-15 are UDFAs. Of the three there I think both Spencer and Brontae have chance to be last day picks.

I agree, although I don’t see Spencer getting drafted. A running back having breakaway speed in the NFL is a big deal, and I don’t think he will ever have that. I think he will get picked up and maybe even make a roster, I just doubt it will be in the draft.

I think Brontae has a really good shot of getting drafted. His skill set is useful in the modern day NFL, and you can seemingly never have too many of those guys in the roster.
