    From the updated ESPN article…

    “The six members will collaborate to decide which schools to target for further expansion, as the conference still needs to add two more schools to reach the NCAA minimum requirement. The conference is in the first year of a two-year grace period afforded by NCAA bylaws to exist below the minimum in the case of departures.

    It is unclear how many schools the new-look conference expects to have by 2026.”

    We better hope Jared has some good relationships...

    An always (to me) interesting topic; Rating the NT head coaches

    Keep happy and at NT

    Delong-Softball

    Burton-WBB

    Akers-Women Golf

    Hedlund-Soccer

    Jury still out

    Hodge-MBB

          I am happy with his results thus far, hard to judge with the horrible NIL situation

    Morris-Football

          Have liked his coaching of the offensive side, think he will improve the defense

    Calcatera-Men Golf

          New hire

    Stone-Women Tennis

           It was past time for a change, and she is a good choice 

    Marshall-Track, CC

           Great start, I have little doubt the track team will continue to get better under his leadership

    Porter-Volleyball

           Definitely elevated the program over the prior coach, want to see who she recruits as she loses some good-to-great players

    Questionable

    Roth-Women Swimming

         She is still here despite mediocre results, there has to be a rationale (ie: poor facilities to recruit to, desire to spend as little as possible on this team, etc.)  She could be doing an        excellent job considering these factors

    Not gonna lie, I'm ready to see us move on from Hedlund. Too much DFW soccer talent for us not to ever score in the NCAAs

    This is what happens when you put effort into the program.  I live in Tech country.  I am worn out hearing from Joey McGuire, Kirby Hocutt and the Red Raider Club on the radio and television.  They even have their spring game in Midland where many wealthy boosters live.

    To be fair they are the only game in town

    I may ruffle a lot of feathers here, but he and his team won tourney championships, regular season championships, CBI championship, NIT Championship, and an NCAA game, and it still didn't move the needle. Attendance was still poor, and those players deserved better support.

    Yep. Gave his heart to the program. Can't fault him. His mom was a huge supporter too. 

    this will always be our issue.

    I'm actually in the camp now that we're gonna see a few of these players back next season. it's only good business to test the portal waters and possibly leverage Hodge/UNT for as good a deal as possible

    calling it now...Noland and Jones will be back next season. Scott maybe not...he has NBA metrics and upside and a year at a P5 could enhance his overall pro stock. 

    Maybe it helps Hodge's relationship with these guys too. Like "he looks out for me the person"

    If SMU offered you $200,000 per year to come post on their fan board (Poneyfans.com) versus GoMeanGreen.com would you? What if LSU or someone else tops that by $50k the following year? In the business world, have you ever been offered substantially more to leave your employer? Or did you stay "loyal" to your company that may have hired you right out of college? It's unfortunate but these are the questions the kids have to make today. Playing and/or starting seems to be secondary. I think I would go get that paycheck my final year of eligibility.   

    Coaches do this all the time..... 

    Whatever situation helps my family the most (and myself) is what I'm doing

    None of these have been reported by the school or the player, yet.  The response I got to bringing this up was that this usually occurs when the players may be testing the waters but would be welcome back.  Guess I am showing my age, but if I were the coach, once you decide to enter the portal you are done here.  Another poster messaged me with the same feeling.  Zero commitment today.  All about what I can get for me, period.

    Same thing works in the professional world. Surely you'd understand to see what value you can get for yourself

    Maybe Drez, but I am still a TP fan. I am on the side of taking a quarter of a million dollars as a college student.

    Tristan Thompson went into the HOF in 2020. I suspect that all the names being listed will eventually go into the UNT Hall of Fame. Damn shame but this is what it has become over the past few years. Coaches with losing records, players that played here 1 or 2 years, average players etc.  

    Perry/Hamlet may have only played here 1 or 2 years but they also elevated the program to heights not seen ever

    Some of you make me wonder.

    He has two options (really he has many more).

    One, to honor his commitment and play for NT.

    Two, to go play for his dad.

    IMO, I don't think anyone can find fault with either decision. 

     

    Heck, do you think Riley Dodge regrets backing out of playing WR at Texas to play for his dad here? (God those were awful days)
