  1. If you know how to work the transfer portal, you can flip things around in a season. Look at Smut.
  2. What kind of crowd should we expect Saturday? 4K?
  3. Until we get to the point where we are ranked in the top 20, only the hard core UNT fans will show up. NIT title didn't move the needle for the average sports fan in our area. Being ranked forces the area media to give you coverage and gets the bandwagon fans out. Wish it wasn't that way but I've followed the Mean Green for a long time and IMO that is the only way we will see big crowds on a regular basis. I noticed that other than Memphis and FAU in their 3k seat gym, ACC schools are not getting huge crowds. Smut had great crowds back when Brown was coaching and they were ranked. DFW media fell over backwards covering them. Now after a couple of down seasons, not so much.
  4. Did Hodge give any update on Buggs and Jones health?
  5. I think he gives us more options off the bench. If he is as good a defender as we hear, he should take some minutes away from Stone. He has to be more of an offensive threat. Since he has played at the D1 level, I imagine Hodge will trust him more to play in big games than he does Cotton and Moore.
  6. 2-8 and getting blown out against LSU, St. John's and Boise State would be an F. We lost our head coach, key assistants, one of the best clutch players in school history, our best post player and most of our scoring from last year. I don't think anyone is happy with 5-5 but an F is a little harsh. Let's see where we are at after the next 5-6 games. We definitely have to improve in several areas. Offensive consistency, turnovers, late game situations and staying out of foul trouble come to mind. I trust Ross to get things fixed.
  7. Why would he back out and return to North Texas if he knew we were bringing in a transfer QB? He wants to play, not be a back up. Maybe Morris told him the starting job was his to lose if he stayed. The fact that the team voted him a captain says a lot about the young man but I'm not sold he is the best we can do.
  8. This isn't going to be an easy game. UTA brought in some good transfers and they always seem to play well against us.
  9. The NCAA should have a deadline to rule on these waivers. That's not right to leave athletes and programs hanging.
  10. Wonder if he returns kicks? Could be a replacement for Horton.
  11. Looks like a good find. Shows good hands and decent speed.
  12. Why do we not get to play Rice at least every other year? They have been in the same conference with us and are in the same state but we play Tulane in back to back years. Doesn't make sense.
  13. That would sure help our depth at the guard/wing position. I assume he has been able to practice with the team.
  14. A really good team just got better. Don't know the story behind his assault charges but if Tang did not want him around, I'm sure Hodge wouldn't. He's graduating at midterm so he will be immediately eligible for the Tigers. 6'10 big man that rebounds well and averaged 10 PPG last year. Sounds just like something we could use but not if he has character issues. Nae'Qwan Tomlin to join Memphis after Kansas State dismissal
  15. How about Army, Navy, Tulsa, Rice, UAB, East Carolina, Temple and FAU?
  16. Not taking anything away from the ladies but name one good team that we have beaten so far? Smart move by Coach Burton to set up a schedule that allows us to have success while he builds a new program but I want to see us beat someone good before we start thinking NCAA tournament.
  17. I agree with a post that someone had earlier about supporting your school by buying season tickets, UNT mech. ect. I don't mind joining booster clubs and alumni associations but I'm not giving money to buy players. I love this school. I graduated and sent 3 daughters to UNT. I buy football and basketball season tickets. That should be enough. Get guys who want to be here and get a great education, live in a great city like Denton, enjoy everything UNT has to offer. I don't care if they are a 5 star athlete, just get kids that will play hard and love the Mean Green like I do. EX. Think JJ Murray and DJ Draper in basketball. Seems like Landon Sides from Guyer is in that group as well. I know there are many others.
  18. Jones and Scott have been really good role players for us the past two years but now it's THEIR team and unfortunately either one look comfortable in that position. Can only hope it will develop as the season goes on. If we're shooting well from 3, we can play with most of the top teams in the conference. I'm not giving up on this group but I'm seeing a .500 team in AAC play.
  19. Lot of work to do for this team to be competitive in the AAC.
  20. Need Reuben to get going offensively.
  21. Schools like us are going to have to be able to find diamonds in the rough. Not everyone is going to be offered big NIL deals. Between transfers, JCs and HS players, that's a lot of athletes. Some really good ones will fly under the radar. In the pros, think late round picks like Brock Purdy and undrafted free agents. Talent evaluation will be the key.
  22. Tough travel for this one. Flew in to New York yesterday and flying back after the game. Even an ugly win would be great. Do they have finals next week?
