    I don't know that there has been an actual study done on the subject, but I have definitely seen comments where a recruit mentions how early a team starts "showing him love" as a big factor in why he chose that school.

    I see things like this and that is what drives me to question why are aren’t first on local kids:

    It's way too early, but pending some late additions to the D-Line, guessing 5-7

    *** If we start the first six games and are 1-5 or 2-4, and our defense gets trashed, I expect to see Caponi sacrificed.

    I don't think anything Littrell did, or really any considerations past 2023 are included in this poll.   Rice was a bowl team last year.   We were not.  Rice lost McCaffery and...? I don't really know.   We lost our 3 best playmakers offensively, and our defense was atrocious last year without schematic change.  Pretty simple... but he STILL put us ahead of them.

    And yes, @UNTLifer, I see the author.  It's pretty widely known that he's a UTSA homer and really hates us, but I don't think the rankings are unfair.   Do you honestly think, right now, we're better than any of the teams above us?

    We are right now not any better than the teams above us and are too high in the rankings. 
    That being said, no one should be ranking or predicting anything at this point, especially since the portal will change lineups again after the spring.

  4. Looks like all regular season champs that don’t make the NCAAs get into the new Women’s Basketball Invitation Tournament. In our case, since we lost to Tulsa, I think Tulsa would get the nod.

    Thanks. I’d heard references on GMG.com, but never quite understood them. Was this to keep the media out or to keep the players in?

    It was figurative.  The idea was that everyone was all in.

    Don’t forget the players’ rap!

    I'm particularly interested in winning 10 games.

    Four is optimistic at this point but a lot of unknowns ahead. If we started the season tomorrow, that is where I would be on a prediction. But thankfully we don’t and there is still time to get the team better prepared and fill in a few remaining gaps. But finding it harder to be optimistic, to be honest.

    Bad decision if it is reducing capacity.

    I disagree. It is never full and you can improve the game day experience to keep your customers, eventually charging more for premium seating. Revenue is the goal, not just number of butts.

    They're not "scared", it's a financial decision.   I understand it, but I don't know why Hocutt would have agreed to it originally (wasn't it last year?), then about face.   He's just needlessly spending his boosters' money.

    Let them buy us out at the agreed price... but it comes with 3 future basketball games in Denton.   Then, we can turn around and use some of that buyout $ to bring in a SBC/C-USA team and pad the schedule some.

    Agreed, especially getting the bball games here.
    On the other hand, not many SBC teams we can beat with this program. 😢Could not even beat bad CUSA teams last season.
