    St. John's is a top 5 Big East team (a "High Major" conference).
    They play big home games in MSG.   It's a great landing spot for him.  He'll get a ton of eyeballs on him there.

    Who beat us by one.  True, Pitino, NYC and MSG are attractive, and they have history on their side, but is this currently really that big of a jump?

    I wish him well, but it is far from what I expected.  Then again, St. John's has landed some solid transfers.

    That's weird,  I guess the most recently completed season doesn't count?
    I'm sorry Lifer, but everything prior to 21-22 (when Pitino showed up at UNM), and honestly, prior to 23-24 (when Hodge took over at UNT) needs to be removed when comparing the two teams for players who are actually playing RIGHT NOW.   Those other programs belonged to different people.

    When talking about recent success for dudes who are considering playing for both schools, the only thing that matters is this past year and future predictive success (re: momentum).  Unfortunately, NT is on the wrong side of both of those factors as of right now.

    I didn’t feel the need to include the most recently completed season since it was in your post directly above mine. 
     
    I disagree with the remainder of your post. Good programs survive coaching changes.

    UNT senior Tucker Allen ended a great weekend at the American Athletic Conference Championship with his third round under par and a runner-up trophy as he finished the three-day event at 6-under par, two shots clear of third place, to wrap up his collegiate career.

    Allen was one of two golfers in the field to finish all three rounds under par with his 66-69-69 and entered Sunday's final round in a tie for first but ran into a buzzsaw in the form of South Florida's Jake Peacock, who fired a final-round 64 to separate himself from Allen and claim the championship.

    Infielder Cierra Simon was named American Athletic Conference Player of the Week after she led UNT softball to five wins including a sweep at Memphis, the league announced on Monday.

    Simon finished the week with a .400 batting average (8-for-20), 11 RBI and 16 total bases including two triples and one home run. She added five runs scored and two stolen bases. For the season, the Crockett, Texas native ranks top 10 in the conference with a .352 batting average, four triples and 96 defensive assists, each are career-high marks for the junior.

    Did Morris lie to the kid about us having a baseball program?

    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.

    Also:
    UNT finished this past season 19-15 with a NET ranking of 79 (7th in AAC)
    UNM finished this past season 26-10, with a NET ranking of 22 and an at-large 11 seed in the NCAA tournament as the 6th place finisher in the MWC.   Seems like maybe the NCAA tournament selection committee "cares about them".

    Given the above, it would seem UMN's program is a little more "competitive recently".

    Recent Records/Success:

    22-23 Season

    UNM: L 1st round of NIT

    NT: Won the NIT

    21-22 Season

    UNM: 13-19

    NT: 25-7; L 2nd round of NIT

    20-21 Season

    UNM: 6-16

    NT: 18-10; Beat #3 Purdue in opening round of NCAA before falling to VIllanova

    19-20 Season

    UNM: 19-14

    NT: 20-11

    Post seasons cancelled.

    I'll miss CJ.
    Those of you saying it's a "lateral move" have never been to a game in the Pit, or have any knowledge of the overall CBB landscape, with MWC basketball being a very respected conference.   They have a rabid fanbase, and I'm willing to bet the bump in NIL is noticeable.

    The Pit is an incredible facility that I hope NT's new arena will be modeled after.   I got to take in the NT victory over UNM back in McCasland's 2nd year.   One of my favorite memories of NT Sports.

    I was one that said it was a lateral move.  My comparison is on court success.

    We should fill the SP and it should be rocking

    C.J. must like ugly women and limited access for fun as well.
