DENTON, Texas – Head Coach Jalie Mitchell and the UNT women’s basketball staff inked four new players on National Signing Day. Three come from the state of Texas along with one from Arkansas. All four played the guard position at their respective high schools. This highly touted recruiting class comes off Mitchell’s best season yet with North Texas women’s basketball.
Breanna Davis | 5-8 | Red Oak HS (Texas)
- Averaged 22.5 PPG, 7 APG, 6.4 RPB in high school
- Her father, Chris Davis is the second all-time leading scorer at UNT
- Led Red Oak HS to the Class 5A Regional II Semifinals last year
- Two-time Ellis County HS Sports Awards girls’ basketball Player of the Year
- No. 30 in the state of Texas per Premier Basketball in the class of 2022
Red Oak HC Darren Eubanks on Davis…
“Bre has been special from day one. She entered Red Oak as a freshman only to lead our team in scoring. This young lady came with a work ethic that is unmatched and a dedication to her craft that will allow her to have great success at the next level. Not only is she a great basketball player, but she is also an incredible kid, very humble and mature. She is always trying to make the right decision. North Texas you have signed a winner, and one of the all-time leading scorers in school history and I’m proud I was able to witness it.”
UNT HC Jaile Mitchell on Davis…
“There is a lot of UNT history with the Davis family. The best part is that we get to add to it! Bre will come to Denton with incredible maturity and leadership abilities, exceptional work ethic in the classroom, and a dedication to her craft that is unmatched. She lives in the gym and truly loves the game. It is extremely fulfilling for this story to come full circle. Bre had plenty of options to choose from to continue her basketball career. We are grateful that she saw her success within the vision of our school and program. The best is still yet to come!”
Ereauna Hardaway | 5-6 | Jonesboro HS (Arkansas)
- Averaged 14 PPG, 6 APG, and 3.5 RPG in high school
- Class 5A state MVP
Jonesboro HC Jodi Christenberry on Hardaway…
“Ereauna is, arguably, the best point guard who has come out of Jonesboro, and one of the best that I have ever coached. Her ability to read situations, people and know when and how to get things done on the court is one of her best assets. She can get 25 points and four assists one night and turn around the next and get eight points and 12 assists. She doesn't care about her own stats. She will do whatever is necessary to win. She has put us on her shoulders numerous times throughout her career and led us to victory. I believe, at the next level, that she will quickly adjust to the increased speed and quickness of the game and will show why she is one of the best point guards in the class of 2022.”
UNT HC Jaile Mitchell on Hardaway…
“Ereauna, also known as “E”, is a complete gem! We are so glad we were able to get her out of Arkansas. She is an exceptional person, leader and point guard that everyone loves to play with. Our fans will enjoy all the different ways she’s able to score, facilitate and manage a game from start to finish. She also understands the importance of defense, bringing her A game to both ends of the floor. Ereauna is a selfless winner and recent state champion. We welcome her to the great state of Texas!”
Jahcelyn Hartfield | 5-9 | South Grand Prairie (Texas)
- No. 29 in the state of Texas per Premier Basketball in the class of 2022
- 5A TAPPS State Champion
South Grand Prairie HC Brion Raven on Hartfield…
“Jahcelyn has been an integral part of our program for three years. She has overcome so many obstacles and continues to do amazing things. On the court, she has been a versatile player that can lead us in scoring one game and lead us in assists the next game, all while being expected to guard the opponent’s best player. As much talent and skill as she brings on the court, she brings even more off the court – she is a strong young woman of faith, a leader, and brings intangibles that are hard to measure. She is the type of player and person that any program would love to have and I’m so proud that she will be continuing her education at the University of North Texas – you got a great one!”
UNT HC Jaile Mitchell on Hartfield…
“Jahcelyn is one of the toughest young women I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know. You can count on her to give her all mentally and physically every day. She has a unique story of triumph that gives her a competitive edge. She’s the do-it-all player that can take on any assignment you give her, from defense to rebounding and everything in between. We’re proud of Jahcelyn already and anticipate great things to come in her collegiate career!”
Desiree Wooten | 5-9 | Mansfield Timberview (Texas)
- No. 9 in the state of Texas per Premier Basketball in the class of 2022
- MVP of District 5-5A
- MVP of the Region I-5A tournament
- Top Dallas-Fort Worth guard
Mansfield Timberview HC Kit Kyle-Martin on Wooten…
“She is an exceptional talent who has the rare ability to elevate the players around her. She is one of the best to ever wear a Timberview jersey as a combo guard with innate abilities to score off the bounce and to see the floor. She can make the next level passes from anywhere. We are excited to watch her play for the Mean Green next season!”
UNT HC Jaile Mitchell on Wooten…
“Dez” is a 3-level scorer, competitor and high-level talent. She does a little bit of everything on the court, making her a tough guard for any defender. She takes the game very seriously and will always do whatever it takes to win. Her God-given gifts make her a threat to break just about every record we have. Desiree also has a fun-loving personality and brings great energy to any room. We are excited about her choice and future here at UNT!”

Nearly every assistant coach in college football dreams of one day leading their own program. There are exceptions, but the never-ending chase for greatness on the field leads to the need for new challenges, and for many that is becoming a head coach.
The coaching carousel is spinning already because of the quickly-approaching early signing period (Dec. 15-17), and agents and coaches across the country are pushing resumes across the desks of athletic directors seeking a new head coach. Texas Tech has already made a hire, grabbing Baylor assistant coach Joey McGuire this week, and four more Power Five jobs are still open. More jobs will open soon, meaning an endless line of dominoes will fall as head coaches are hired, staffs are shuffled and assistants file from one program to another.
Fans will have big dreams of their school hiring a proven, big-time head coach to lead their program but, for many, they will instead be introduced to a hot play-caller or position coach as the leader of their program. Who are the prime candidates to watch in the near future? 247Sports sought feedback from FBS head coaches, assistants and staff administrators. Thirty-one of those coaches agreed to provide 247Sports the names of assistant coaches they believe should be considered for head-coaching jobs in the 2021 silly season.
We’ll rank the 10 highest vote-getters, along with others who received votes. Coaches surveyed by 247Sports were not limited in their responses.

After Friday night’s Virginia Tech loss to Boston College, fellow writer Ricky LaBlue sent me a story early Saturday morning, detailing another defeat of the Hokie football team. After posting it, I texted him that maybe we should stop writing about the downward direction of the program for the rest of the season.
Why, he asked.
Because, I replied, it’s all been said. To continue to point out how Justin Fuente has lost control of the program would be like beating a dead horse. There’s an old saying in sales that says you should stop selling once you’ve made the sale. To continue talking can only end up hurting you.
I think that’s the case now with Fuente and Virginia Tech. It’s over. There’s a divorce coming and I don’t believe anyone thinks otherwise. I have in my circle of friends the most positive “the glass is half full” Hokie fans that walk this planet, and during Friday’s game I was getting texts saying “you were right, we need to make a change.”
To continue talking can only end up hurting people, including assistant coaches, players and families.
Everyone knows.

JSU takes the prize in college football this season for unexpected twists, unlikely upgrades and questionable decisions after the school announced it was joining Conference USA (and moving from the FCS to FBS) on a news-dump Friday, and then, A DAY LATER, announced that it was firing coach John Grass.
This is the same team that started the season being shut out by UAB 31-0, BUT THEN went on the road the next week and upset Florida State 20-17 with a walk-off touchdown.
Jacksonville State, we love you, and so we’re worried.
And also really excited.
But also definitely confused.
Jacksonville State was already leaving the OVC for the ASUN but was going to compete in the WAC in football until, well … somebody please help this make sense. I feel like I’m at a Jacksonville State frat party and someone just walked in the front door with a chainsaw, handle of rum and a pet goat named Randy Owen Rides Again.

Since the moment news broke that Gary Patterson and TCU were parting ways, Frog fans have been curious to see who takes over in the head role.
TCU Athletic Director Jeremiah Donati gave clues last Tuesday as to who TCU is considering to be the next head coach. During his press conference, Donati was asked about what qualities he’s looking for in the next coach, and he gave us these hints:
- Not necessarily required to have Texas ties, although that would be nice
- Currently a head coach/head coaching experience
- Potentially more offensive-minded (Donati went on to talk about how it might be ‘unfair’ to have a more defensive-minded coach try to fill Patterson’s shoes).
TCU conducted seven interviews last week, including Tony Elliott and Billy Napier, and are continuing to have more conversations this week.

serious question, who has better throwing QB's, the service academies that run the triple option, or UNT?
Service academies. Mason Fine was awesome but after that we have had DS!

The interest was sincere, and the push was legitimate, but in the end there was not nearly enough for Texas Tech to bring back Art Briles.
According to sources, Texas Tech’s search for a new football coach to replace Matt Wells no longer includes the former Baylor head coach.
There was never going to be more than a small chance that Briles would return to Lubbock, and now there is no chance.

Where TCU turns next will be fascinating as Texas and Oklahoma’s Big 12 exits—whenever they actually happen—create an easier path for everyone to the conference championship. A source tells SI that TCU is interested in current or former head coaches, rather than up-and-coming assistants. A presumed plug-and-play fit could be right down the road in SMU’s Sonny Dykes, multiple sources say.
Former Washington and Boise State coach Chris Petersen could also be in play if he’s not content with TV life. Virginia Tech’s Justin Fuente (a former Patterson assistant) is also a name that has been connected to the opening, but his own job security issues in Blacksburg make him an unlikely choice.

HUNTINGTON – Marshall University is standing at a precipice with what seems to be infinite potential ahead of it with a new conference affiliation as well as the announcement of Brad D. Smith as the next university president. There is no reason to delay taking that next step toward progress and beginning to realize that potential, no matter the initial costs.
Marshall is scheduled to join the Sun Belt Conference no later than July 1, 2023 but entering the conference next July is an option on the table. Leaving Conference USA at the conclusion of the current academic year will come at a price. It will cost Marshall $3 million in exit fees to cut ties the fledging league.
It’s a price worth paying.
“It’s about moving forward. It’s about potential and it’s about growth,” Interim Athletics Director Jeff O’Malley explained on Monday. “We want to elevate Marshall University and Marshall Athletics and the Sun Belt offers us the best way to do that.”

Actually I joined before but because of the pure idiocy i saw here i quit using my account and hadn’t been on here for a couple years. Just joined again to see if this had gotten any better.
I never said you were responsible nor did i imply it..my point was that it never should’ve happened. Never once accused you of being involved.

Dykes, whose Mustangs are 7-1 to star the season, has history with Texas Tech as it's the program where his father, Spike, became a coaching legend leading the Red Raiders for 13 seasons as they transitioned from the Southwest Conference to the Big 12.
If Dykes was to leave for either program, he favors TCU over Texas Tech at the moment, sources tell CBS Sports.

Which coaches should (and will) fill open jobs at LSU, USC, TCU and elsewhere
in Mean Green Football
Posted
Early signing day is barely five weeks away (Wednesday, Dec. 15). There's your answer as to why nine schools have already changed coaches and two of those schools -- Texas Techwith Joey McGuire, Georgia Southernwith Clay Helton -- have already filled their openings.
Recruiting is everything, particularly when judging which coach is going to lead your program in the future. Impatience has become the operative philosophy for athletic directors these days. Three of the nine coaches who lost their jobs did so before the completion of their third seasons.
Who TCU should hire -- Sonny Dykes, SMU coach: This one is too easy. Dykes has seen the most sustained success of any SMU coach since the program suffered the death penalty in 1987. Sources told CBS Sports that Patterson was pushed out so the school could get in line ahead of Texas Tech for Dyke's services. Word is that Dykes preferred TCU to Tech, anyway. This hire will be interesting with Dykes coming from a bitter rival. Hey, but if he can win, who cares?
