My sources indicate that Grant McCasland has agreed to a multi million dollar contract with UNT. McCasland rebuffed interest from SMU. Oh my how things have changed! GMG

According to my sources. That is all. Thank you and GMG.

Tough way to go out but doesn't take away from what they did accomplish.

DENTON, Texas – Five new additions signed to play for UNT Football and join the program as members of the Class of 2022, head coach Seth Littrell announced Wednesday. "We are excited to add some really talented guys to our roster," Littrell said. "We feel like we were able to fill some needs today and added depth. We are far from finished at this point. Like I said in December, we still have a few spots available and will be aggressive in adding the right players that fit our program through the transfer portal over the next few months." All five of the signees hail from the state of Texas, including three from the DFW area and two from metro Houston. Four of the signees are high school players, along with one junior college transfer. Wednesday's signees feature two defensive backs, two offensive linemen and a defensive lineman. UNT previously signed 13 high school players and transfers during the December window with nine joining the roster for Spring 2022. The Mean Green open spring practice on Friday, March 4. Name Pos.

Yes we had an internet outage that clipped the very end off. Sorry about that, but it happens. You still get 99 percent of the show as we were just about to close when it ended. GMG

New Mexico Bowl against USU?

To say I am very excited about this opportunity would be an understatement.

Mean Green Face KU On National Stage PREGAME LINKS LIVE STATS UNT GAME NOTES MEANGREENSPORTS.COM UNT Men’s Basketball: Mean Green Face KU On National Stage North Texas Faces No. 4 Kansas On ESPN For more information contact: Luke Della, 510-725-2130, Luke.Della@unt.edu KISSIMMEE, FL – The North Texas men's basketball team begins the 2021 ESPN Events Invitational against No. 4 Kansas Thursday at 1:30 p.m. CT at HP Field House on the campus of Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex. The game will be broadcast on ESPN and the Mean Green Sports Network and on the Varsity Network App. UNT (2-1) upset No. 20 Purdue in the first round of the 2021 NCAA Tournament, 78-69 (ot), for its first-ever NCAA Tournament victory and end a 49-game losing streak to nationally ranked opponents. Thursday, the Mean Green will aim to beat the No. 4 nationally ranked Jayhawks (3-0), which would be the highest ranked opponent UNT has ever beaten. North Texas last and only other meeting against Kansas was on Nov. 19, 2010 in Lawrence, Kansas. UNT fell 93-60. The Jayhawks were ranked No. 7 in the nation at the time. That North Texas team, like this season's, was coming off a 2010 NCAA Tournament appearance. The Mean Green have never beaten an AP Top 5 opponent. The highest ranked opponent UNT has ever beaten was No. 8 Wichita State on Jan. 25, 1963, 69-67. North Texas is coming off of a 64-36 beating of UT Arlington last week at the Super Pit. The 36 points UNT held UTA to is the second fewest points a Mean Green opponent has scored in the Grant McCasland era (5th season). UNT held the Mavericks to just 12 points in the first half, which is the fewest points an opponent has scored in the first half since McCasland got to UNT in 2017. Newcomer Tylor Perry has led the way for UNT through its first three games. Perry is averaging 17.3 points per game and is scoring at a team-leading 59.3 percent clip. Perry, has been a menace on defense averaging 2.6 steals per game, which ranks tied for 28th in the nation. As of Wednesday, Perry's 56.2 3-point field goal percentage ranked 11th in the nation. Defense has once again been the Mean Green's calling card. UNT so far this season ranks No. 8 in the nation in scoring defense (52.7) and No. 8 in turnover margin (8.3). They've played good defense without fouling as well. UNT has committed just 49 fouls this season. That’s the 13th fewest in the nation. North Texas will face either Dayton or Miami (Fla.) on Friday, Nov. 26, in the second round of the ESPN Events Invitational at the HP Field House on the campus of Disney's Wild World of Sports Complex. The game will start at either 10 a.m. CT or 12:30 p.m. CT depending on the result of Thursday.

Good scoop! Will be interesting to see who SMU will go after now.

Wow that is an amazing stat! Agree and love the defense as well.
