While recruiting is on a halt right now, the transfer market is heating up. No one has announced intentions to transfer from UNT, but many players have elsewhere. Here are a couple lists: https://watchstadium.com/college-basketballs-2019-20-midseason-transfer-list-10-31-2019/amp/?__twitter_impression=true http://verbalcommits.com/transfers/2020 We only have two spots remaining at the moment but I think it’s very likely that we would find room if the right guys came available. Here are some guys who I particularly like: • Hayden Koval, JR C Central Arkansas. 7 footer originally from Prosper. I think he’d be a great fit with very good shot blocking and solid 3-point shooting ability. Not sure if he’d be eligible immediately as a grad transfer or if he’d have to sit a year. Not super confident he could fit next to Simmons. https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/hayden-koval-1.html • Morris Udeze, SO F Wichita State From Houston. Think he’d have to sit a year. https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/morris-udeze-1.html • Cory Hightower, SO F Presbyterian Think he’d have to sit a year. Likelihood seems low but I think he’d be a good fit. Leading scorer and rebounder from Presbyterian. https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/cory-hightower-1.html • EJ Anosike, GRAD F Sacred Heart Another low likelihood here, but he’d be the best rebounder we’ve had under Mccasland. Not sure he’s enough of a shooter to be a perfect fit at the 4 for Mccasland, but he was a very productive player in the NEC. 15.7 points/11.6 rebounds a game last year. Also a consistently good free throw shooter for his career. https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/ej-anosike-1.html • Gerrale Gates, SO F New Orleans 6’6” 250 post who was Southland Freshman of the Year in 18-19. Seems kind of like the player we wanted Jahmiah Simmons to be. Also not much a three-point shooter so maybe not a good fit at the 4 here, but he is also a good free-throw shooter. https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/gerrale-gates-1.html • Ben Pyle, SO F Western Illinois A little light at 6’7” 185 lbs but he would come in and be likely the best shooter on our roster, and he’s a decent rebounder as well. 12.3 points/5.3 rebounds a game last year and shot 43% from three on a whopping 5.7 attempts per game. Also just shy of 90% from the free-throw line. Again, another long shot but good fit. https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/ben-pyle-1.html

This is so hard for Trump’s fans. A lot of them are folks who would never do/say some of the things he’s done/said.... so they’re forced to dodge this very simple question because their truthful answer might make them look hypocritical.

Good is a relative term and he probably isn't in your book. I believe he is generously trying to help the country, however. I for one like his policies, and that's what is really important, isn't it?

It wouldn't do any good because nothing anyone says will convince you. It is a pointless argument. You either support the man or you don't. Three years of desperate investigations led to NOTHING except further dividing the country. Let it go.

McCasland’s contract also calls for a $10,000 bonus for earning a bid to the NIT. UNT earned a berth to the NIT by winning the C-USA regular season title. We should play this NIT bonus. McCasland would have added to his bonus earnings had the Mean Green enjoyed success in the postseason. His contract contains a $25,000 bonus for winning the conference tournament and earning an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. We should not play this NCAA bonus.

I hope this is sarcasm

He should get the NCAA bonus of $25,000. The CUSA tournament was cancelled granting us the automatic bid. Put up the banner and pay the man.

You’re cute.

Correct, Presidents pardon people. I don’t like it. Edit: comma added

https://247sports.com/college/north-texas/LongFormArticle/North-Texas-Mean-Green-basketball-top-five-plays-of-2019-20-Javion-Hamlet--145257157/ With six down, the only name left is the Conference USA Player of the Year, Javion Hamlet! The junior point guard never hesitated as the leader North Texas needed as they made the push for the championship.

https://247sports.com/LongFormArticle/North-Texas-Mean-Green-basketball-Top-five-plays-of-2019-20-James-Reese-145194812/ We’re all well aware of Reese’s activity level on the defensive side of the ball, and he’s become even more dangerous as the season wore on. He took on challenges of guarding the best wing on the other team and usually held them in check. Whether it was Devon Andrews, Amorie Archibald, or anyone else.

https://247sports.com/LongFormArticle/North-Texas-Mean-Green-basketball-top-plays-of-2019-20-Thomas-Bellhttps247sportscom-145157467/ As the season wore on, Thomas’ greatest attribute became his rebounding which is saying something. His aggression, leaping ability and strength allowed him to become elite and lead the Mean Green in rebounds with 6.4 per game in conference play.

https://247sports.com/LongFormArticle/North-Texas-Mean-Green-basketball-top-five-plays-of-2019-20-Umoja-Gibson-145230270/ The difference between freshman and sophomore year Mo is his playmaking and this right here. He attacked closeouts, drove the lane with control, and began to finish with some consistency around the rim.

I don’t have an opinion one way or the other regarding if he gets paid or not, but this amount should have already budgeted for and marked as a savings if not reached.

That will be a tough tailgate to top.

I feel like Wren Baker will reward McCasland. If he doesn't I'm sure some school will!

Seems they’ve been caught juicing the numbers. UTA’s nursing program somehow is ranked top 3 in the state or so...goes to show these rankings can be bought or fudged. 🤨

True or False: Every conference has to have a mechanism to award the automatic bid in case the conference tournament cannot be played. True or False: Conference USA awards the automatic bid to the regular season champion in case the conference tournament cannot be played. True of False: Conference USA cancelled the tournament and according to conference and NCAA rules, North Texas is awarded the automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. True or False: The Conference USA tournament was cancelled and the bid awarded prior to the NCAA cancelling their tournament. Hint: all the answers are true. North Texas was awarded the automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. Pay the man the $25000 and put up two banners.

This is going to be especially hard on us because we need to get another QB(s) ready to go. Maybe the conference would allow a mini-camp during the summer like the NFL does. Now that we have an indoor facility, that wouldn't be such a heat-related hardship. Even if we have another summer like 1980.

We may, but it's always easy to spend someone else's money... I'm with Travis here, give him a new deal! He earned it.

This is smart and reasonable. He is making a lot of money. If they had won the tournament and then the NCAAs were cancelled I would agree but in this case the auto bid was by default.

Are we talking the $25K bonus? If so, just pay the man the bonus. It won't kill us.

Because he basically did make it with an auto bid. I was confident that we would’ve won the whole tournament Also why not! It’s not gonna kill anyone, and it really can help recruiting with a banner

As did Hayden Fry and that worked out pretty well for us. Rick

Where were these great moral types when Clinton and Obama abused the pardon system

Another Trump is evil article;Surprise! Look back on the others and judge them the same if you dare.

Now maybe the MEAN GREEN can get a fair shake at Guyer worth Walsh gone

Yes

Had to rethink about that thread title.... at first I thought you were asking if we should retain or fire Mac.

Good is a relative term. There are things he does that makes me shake my head. However my issue is with those who act like the others in DC are different. Trump does/says the same things Obama did he is chastised but the same people had no problem when Obama did it. I love the clips where they show the responses from people to issues where both Presidents did the same thing yet they praised Obama and villanize Trump. Seems like people really don't want someone who says what they think, but rather are Ok knowing their elected politicians are lying to them as long as they do it behind their backs.

Presidential pardons are ridiculous. The President is not a King.

And Ramon Flanigan!! Oh wait...

Jesus I hate these threads. We think so small time and any hint of success we start talking about them leaving. it took many years for JJ to get his chance for a big school. Even so, I wish we wouldn’t be so quick to go to this type of thinking.

What an absolutely stupid thing to do. Rick

I agree. The overreations are incredible and the media should be held liable.

Well you wouldnt want to be in a bar watching tv cause you might get the flu. Rick

just dumb, dumb, dumb WTF!! Guess NCAA will be cancelling the tournament as well. Just huge fear mongering ad panic right now. Can someone please get rid of the CUSA leadership, just complete and utter incompetence

SEC actually is cancelling all sports competition thru the end of March. Lots of sports officials just took a huge hit to the wallet. https://www.secsports.com/article/28891815/sec-suspends-regular-season-championship-competition

The media control over this country is impressive. Our PR agency just gave us some advice that may put us out of business without even hinting that it could negatively affect the trajectory of the business. I may reach out and let them know we'll start paying them a percentage of sales once we implement their advice.

Do we really know? Do you trust the number from China? Seems like this might have been around for a lot longer than they are saying. This whole thing sucks. A lot of this impact would have been lessened f China did not hide the information.

Typical response from an Administrator of this site. Well played from the lead yuck monkey. Thanks for more hard-hitting, useful content.

I assume we also claim the baseball title, since we haven't lost a game all year.

Nope Edit: 😂😂. Looks like someone...or two..hoping I catch the Coronavirus! 😂😂😂. Sorry to disappoint both of them! 😂😂😂

Exactly. You got what you gave out.

Does that involve fighting fans of your own in the stands when your offense sucks real hard??

Is he a good person?

But there are plenty of those that fact check Presidents, politicians and the like. Trump lies more than anyone in government, past or present, and its not even close. So who exactly wants to be lied to? Please help me understand how someone supports this President. I truly want to know.
