Good pick up for Hodge and co. Dude balled out at SFA. Just take a look at his highlights.

Hidden camera on cousin oliver:

Second pick-up of the day, fourth overall from the transfer portal. I like the assists number. Hopefully Hodge and Forte get our offense moving more with guys like Floyd. Edit: This guy also has junior college experience AND winning. He won a NJCAA national championship with Northwest Florida State College. He's also from Tampa, so we could have a lot of supporters when we visit USF next season.

Hot Sports Opinion: Not counting Rubin as that is sacrilegious, I think we upgraded in the 3 for the 3 trade with our newbies over Noland, Edwards, and almost sacrilegious to say … Scott.

Let's focus on those coming in. Men's Basketball Signs Transfer Center - University of North Texas Athletics (meangreensports.com)

DENTON – The UNT men’s basketball team has signed 6-foot-6 Longwood transfer guard Johnathan “John John” Massie, fresh off a conference championship and NCAA Tournament appearance. The Houston native was Longwood’s second-leading scorer last season averaging 11.3 points per contest and playing in 34 games and making 16 starts for the 21-win Lancers who won the Big South championship. Massie joins the Mean Green with one year of eligibility remaining. In the NCAA Tournament, Massie was Longwood’s leading scorer against No. 1 seed Houston. In their conference tournament, Massie helped lead the Lancers to wins over the tournament’s No. 1, No. 2 and No. 4 seeds as he averaged nearly 10 points per game and shot 66.6 percent from deep. He shot 77.7 percent from 3 over Longwood’s final nine games of the year. Massie scored in double figures 19 times last year including a career-high 31-point explosion versus Winthrop on Feb. 10 to lead his team to an 84-74 win. He was named the Big South Player of the Week following his heroic performance. On the final regular season game of the year, Massie led the Lancers to a 74-72 win over the league’s regular season champion High Point with a 16-point and 5-rebound performance in 22 minutes of action. In addition to scoring, Massie is a solid rebounder as he pulled down an average of 5.2 boards per game last season, which was the third-highest average on the team. Longwood was one of the nation’s top rebounding teams as they had an +8.8-rebounding margin for the season – sixth best in the country – and averaged 13.4 offensive rebounds per game ­– 12th best in the country. Massie had eight or more rebounds eight times last season and had a season-high 12 rebounds versus Charleston Southern on Jan. 6 in a 21-point win. Massie has been tremendous at getting to the foul line in his career. He attempted 151 free throws last season, which would have been a close second on UNT last season. He’s a 72.7 percent free throw shooter in his three-year career. The incoming senior began his collegiate career at McNeese State where he was named the 2022 Southland Conference Freshman of the Year. As a sophomore at McNeese, Massie led his team to the Southland Conference Tournament championship game, as he averaged 10.5 points per game that season and averaged 15.1 points per game during the season’s final month. 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.

Fans can visit the UNT Athletics Ticket Office located at Gate 2 of DATCU Stadium between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

It’s a no brainer. In the old days I knew Dickey’s Sun Belt champion teams weren’t realistically going to get a shot at a national title, but we were at least playing in the same league…a home run recruiting class and a friendly schedule and we had a chance to have a Boise State type string of seasons. With this new system, there is ZERO chance of building a competitive squad…the second we show potential with all-conference type players, they’re gone. A Brandon Kennedy would be a one year player in today’s landscape. So, why wouldn’t the G5 schools try to form their own system? And, I would jack the price for a visit to a P4 stadium up to a $3M minimum that ALL G5 schools hold firm on. If Texas wants to go 12-0 they either have to play the other “big boys” or pay the piper💰

I really like this pick up! A winner and starter.

An NIT of the CFP? I’d definitely watch that!

If you read that second story....it seems there would be 8 team divisions. And I love this: The new divisions would be realigned geographically, in part to benefit Olympic sports. These spread out leagues....benefit nobody. We could be here 100 years from now....and no one is gonna care about a game against Charlotte.

The way things are going.....isn't sustainable for us. We'll see if something comes of this.

I fixed it for you and added SMU when the ACC folds!

Yeah, it hurt to say We still need a 6-8 or 6-9 add , another PG and another 6-4 or 6-5 g

Bingo. But higher. GMG

I wonder where he’ll play his senior year?

So he played his freshman year at Kansas....under Coach Self....before going to SFA. Another good addition....

We'll see.

Looks like he won a national championship in juco Before Fairfield: After winning an NJCAA National Championship at Northwest Florida State College, Floyd assumed a starting role in the backcourt at Hillsborough in 2022-23. The 6-3 guard ranked second on the Hawks with 14.7 points per game and led the team with 6.9 rebounds and 4.9 assists per contest. Floyd played scholastically at Wharton High School in his hometown of Tampa, Fla.

Well they aren't going Big XII unless it's a backfill. They will probably be sour about the league losing its big money producers and align with Stanford and Cal trying to block any expansion candidate while holding out for a raid of Big Ten, or SEC or Big 12.

All three visitors committed 😉

More of a BBQ, blues and murder kind of town.

I've been screaming for a mutually inclusive deal among G5s to set a standard visit fee for the better part of 15 years. I think interest wans incessantly if this happens. I don't hate the idea of it, but I hate the idea of UNT basically being relegated to how the FCS is generally viewed.

Clemson's suit is even flimsier than FSU's. This all about throwing red meat to their fans who desperately want into the SEC/Big 10. Too bad contracts have consequences and both FSU/Clemson signed their rights over to the ACC not once but twice (most recently in 2017). In all likelihood both will eventually work their way into the SEC/Big 10 but it'll be several years and hundreds of millions of dollars later. Nothing happening until 2029-2030 at the earliest.

Maybe Noland, Edwards, and Allen. Buggs is easy. Scott and Jones. No.

Not in my opinion. I think we need to wait on the final product but right now, I only like/love the big guy Vice.

I think you are vastly underappreciating what A-Scott brought to the table

Money is in playoffs and championships. Get it done.

agree that it is very good. My mom was born and raised in Jefferson.

The consolidation I’m sure helped but Pan American was a cool name.

I've been saying for a while now....that we need something different. We'll never compete for a natty in football....in the situation we're in now. And going to these mundane bowls....has gotten monotonous. (sp?) There are so many bowls now....it's ridiculous. So maybe a G5 tourney....competing for that level's national title....might be cool. Anyway...this certainly intrigues me.

Noticed smu has lost 8 players to the portal. I would be interested in Zuric Phelps, Xavier Foster, Mo Njie and Jalen Smith. Of course, we would require a month of deprogramming and reeducation prior to allowing them to don the green and white.

As opposed to being developed on top of former desert land, cactus and rattlesnake domain?

Good find, i wonder if most have something like this.

I hear Los Pollos Hermanos has some excellent chicken.

Oh man. Poor Memphis. I feel so so bad for them. They were so convinced.

I don't understand the debate. When people say there is so much to do in DFW in comparison to other places when excusing our poor alum turnout for basically everything... like what? What is there to do? Something that is unique to DFW that keeps our alum so occupied event after event? To isolate it further to Denton is laughable... Speaking on ABQ specifically, the only benefit UNM has over UNT is there are no professional sports to get behind. But generally from my experiences, most people are typically diehard college OR pro fans. Not a lot of diehard both. Outside of that, give me AQB. Better city with more actual things to do, especially if you're an outdoorsman. Way prettier. Deeper rooted in culture. I mean, I guess if you like cities developed on top of former prairieland, farm fields, and cow pastures then DFW is definitely for you.

You find a network who will give you numbers based on various hypothetical scenarios.

For a post about transparency, that is pretty vague. Next…

Been a lot of DL offers going out. Maybe they were encouraged to leave to make room?

The kid would have to be blind, stupid or both to think we had a baseball program, so I find it odd that Morris would sell that lie and mar his reputation with future recruits. Plus, blind, stupid or both are poor QB qualities. I think he fell behind and wants a place where he has the opportunity to also play baseball in the event his football career doesn't pan out, which at this rate, it appears to be occurring.

Ding. Ding. Ding. The demographic most tied to athletic funding is the demographic most underrepresented and actively discouraged from attending UNT. Take a walk around campus at UNT and take a walk around pretty much any P5 school. It’s 2 different worlds. This is exactly why I say things won’t change until we change the profile of the student this school attracts.

You're spot on. But the university has been playing into that hippy weird BS for a long time, too. And we can bring demographics into this, too. And for good or bad, I don't know; nor do I really care. But conservative white boys/men is the driving force behind the consumption of and donating base to collegiate athletics. The university goes out of its way to diversify the enrollment. Which is fine and all, but it's just another variable pulling away from athletics. And there seems to be a lot of variables, controllable and uncontrollable. Why do you think the SEC can whip whoever they want with money at a moments notice? Answer: White conservative men throwing money at their collectives and scholarship funds.

Conflicted. He was a good rebounder at the SWAC level but he's 6'7". How will that transfer to the AAC? He could certainly be successful here at that height but I hope we're going after more true bigs.

this thread is sad on many levels. mostly marriage. yuck.

Official Announcement UTRGV Athletics Accepts Invitation to Join Southland Conference in 2024-25 - Southland Conference “There are many benefits that this move will bring to our student-athletes, fans, and alumni.
