    We definitely cater to a certain type of player:  prioritizes team over self, willingness to play defense, prioritizes winning over personal stats. 

    Those have been the type of players and system that has been successful for us over the past few years but I think it is fair to question if that will work going forward. Hard to find team first guys in a ME first system.

  2. Once they move on, we need to as well. Let's focus on the guys that WILL be here not the guys that choose to leave. That is the new college landscape. I don't care about what they do at whatever school they choose to go to. I care about the guys that are here. Again, it is going to be a year-to-year situation with most of these guys.

    I mean like wow, we must have the highest exit rate of any program pertaining to NIL.  I think UNT needs to focus on one and done guys that will graduate or whatever until these type of NIL and portal rules get addressed by our politicians.

    Unless you know a kid can come in and contribute right away, what is the benefit of signing guys out of high school. I think this really hurts recruiting at that level. Why develop them for someone else? The only players that will use the red shirt year will be ones at big schools getting paid nice NIL deals to sit the bench as insurance. Going to have to be able to adapt quickly to the new landscape in college athletics.

    Dang... after 7 years of success you'd think the company we keep on lists like this wouldn't look like THIS. Embarrassing. 

    Shows you that these players in the portal are more concerned about money than your program history. Better get used to it. These are the kinds of players we are going to be able to get here. We aren't going to get the top-rated transfers. Go after guys that will play hard and want to be at North Texas. If they are grad transfers, then we know for sure they will only be here one year. Added motivation for them to ball out. Robert Allen was a great example. He didn't come here for the NIL money. Played his heart out for us.

  5. Does anyone know if a player announces he is transferring to another school, is that binding or can they back out whenever they want. Is there such a thing as a binding commitment anymore? You would think we have to be getting some guys in here on visits but maybe they just aren't making it public to try to hold on to some. Usually word leaks out,

    No way of knowing until we see who Hodge can get to transfer in.

    The problem is how fast those guys are signed and how much time they can spend working out together during June-August.  This would be a good summer to be able to play in an overseas tournament to help team bonding.
