  3. The game has changed a lot lately. The idea of a true Shaq-like Center just camped out on the block isn't happening anymore. I think @BillySee58 had a breakdown of minutes shared at the 5 last year between Zach, Abou, & Thomas Bell, who will play that role in a "small lineup" sometimes. Wright will definitely be playing that shot-blocking, rim-protecting role defensively though (he's #6 on UW's all-time blocks list). He pulled down 113 boards last year as well. I wouldn't expect a ton of minutes with both Wright & Ousmane on the floor at the same time, unless there's some kind of mismatch Coach McCasland is exploiting. Adding another big 5 who can't really stretch the floor would just add another cog to those minutes. And with the way today's game is played, that athletic wing man who can shoot is very necessary. Right now, we have Bell, and depending on situations, maybe Rubin in that role along with the 2 new Freshmen, Stone & Scott. And, like I said, depending on the lineups, you might have Rubin at more of a 2 (or even bringing the ball up the floor like a PG), while Bell might be playing more of a 4/5. The need for an experienced SF/Wing is much higher than a big center. But hey, if he's interested, I hope Coach McCasland kicks the tires!

  4. Not really necessary anymore with the addition of Wright and every minute he played (for 1 year) would dampen Abou's development. Need another wing who can play defense & hit from distance.

  5. He would not be able to use this picture as above. As I read it, he can only use *his* name, image, or likeness. Not UNT's.

  8. https://247sports.com/college/penn-state/Article/june-college-football-recruiting-commitment-pace-166571885/ Even conservative estimates say there will be 500 fewer scholarships handed out to high schoolers this cycle as a result. And with the spots being more limited than ever, schools have to be more judicious in giving them out. “Running second right now isn’t always the worst thing, because the school the kid probably wants to go to may not have room," one Power 5 coach said. "At this point we go from two to one.”

  9. He's going to be coaching Lofton from LATech and Jaden Ivey from Purdue, the stud who single-handedly kept the tourney game close. He'll also get to bounce ideas off of some awesome coaches: Jamie Dixon (TCU), Mike Boynton (OKSt), and Jerod Haase (Stanford). https://www.usab.com/mens/u19/roster.aspx

  11. I'm not sure I'd say that yet. Novil is a stud and the Murphy twins have tremendous upside and performed well as freshman. Tyreke and KD are solid LB's. John Davis, Upton Stout, and Gaddie have all shown promise in the DB room. Questionable? Maybe, but I like to think we have some solid pieces that will work well in the right environment

  15. Adaway has a real chance to be near (or at) the top of this list individually with a full & healthy 2021 season. It'll be interesting to see the rotation of guys this year with Adaway, Torrey, Johnson, and Jackson along with another season of improved OL development and play.

  16. Walk on We used to. It’s not a system anyone should expect we will go back to. Best suggestion is to just ignore it, because there is a serial downvoter in the BB forum and they have been doing it for years, and probably will continue to do so.

  22. Like I stated the offense was fine in the past but the defense was... 2020 North Texas Mean Green Fun Stats – 1st Quarter Scoring: Opponents 111 – North Texas 45 – Time of Possession: Opponents 34:23 – North Texas 25:38 – Points Per Game: Opponents 42.8 – North Texas 34.4 So we score but can the defense keep them out of the end zone? That is the question we can ask about Seth's future1

  29. DALLAS – Hope Trautwein of North Texas softball has been selected as a 2021 C-USA Spring Spirit of Service Award honoree as announced by the league office Tuesday. Trautwein was an active leader in the UNT Student-Athlete Advisory Committee during the 2020-21 academic year and was instrumental in the execution of several committee initiatives, including a partnership with UNT Political Science Professors for a student-athlete voter education session and establishing a student-athlete Unity pledge. The Pflugerville native graduated with a Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting in Fall of 2020 with a 3.807 cumulative GPA to earn magna cum laude honors and began her master's program in Spring 2021. Trautwein was a member of the President's List and Dean's List at UNT.

  40. With Munoz and Ortiz off this week, it may be a good moment to look at some of NTs other alumni again. First lets stay in the Americas, where -by my count- 3 NT alumni are teeing it up on the PGA Latinoamerica this week (third level of professional golf). That tour had many cancelled events because the VID is still strong in south America. Because of whether only half the players finished their 2nd round on friday. Rubio and Villasana will miss the cut, but Cazaubon is currently tied for 4th. Next lets go to Europe, and there is good news there on the second level of professional golf, the challenge tour. While Rosenmueller who plays regularly on that tour missed the cut. However Kristof Ulnaers is killing it on his first start there: leading the field by 4 shots after two rounds! Lets hope they don't pull a john Rahm on him). or those who wonder: that challenge tour tournament has a total purse of 200k Euros (240k$) He got that start after having so far a great season on the pro golf tour (third level,) where he finished in second last week and is currently 5th on the order of merit (which totals about 10k in winnings). Meanwhile Ian Snyman just keeps playing great on that Big easy tour in south Africa (third level I guess), and has made 4 top 20 results in a row and won a second one of those tournaments. Since that is a small tour I assume that is about 3k in winnings all together for him.

  41. The key should be the hiring of Phil Bennett. Out of all the available coaches out there, bringing back a guy three years removed from coaching (if I got that right?) to exorcise our defensive demons should be the litmus test - after all of the above, SL and co. hires Bennett…does the defense improve or do we still see the same not-so-mean green defensive efforts that costs games? Find success on defense and SL is a hero again, but if the defense provides the same results then what? Brought in a dinosaur to Coach and look what happened…? Really piss poor defensive effort last few years…get it right SL.

  46. Unbelievable might be a reach. Check that, is a reach. He took advantage on hitting on a QB (And kudos to him for that) and entering into an ultra weaker than usual CUSA. I mean, to say it was unbelievable would put winning conference titles and bowl games as realities in that window. Not getting camel punched in the throat in every meaningful game he coached. His best season or in your words, the most unbelievable season he's had up to this point was 2017. There isn't anything unbelievable about 69-31, 50-30, 54-32, and 41-17. Those are the finals of the 4 biggest games of the season in what has been his most successful season. Not to mention his wins. 4 one score wins vs what were basically .500 clubs or worse. I say all of that to say that since that season things have not progressed. He follows up the 2017 season with a monumental win vs a horrible Arkansas team to only crap the bed vs CUSA foes and not be able to return back to the CUSA Champ game with a division title in what SHOULD have been his best team. I'm rooting for the Mean Green and I hope nothing but the best. But daggum, this coach is entering his 6th season with 1 division title and 0-fer in bowls and CUSA championships. I'm in the Mean Green's corner, not in SL's.
