Pretty good offer list. Second Team All-American guard at the DII level. We seem to be pretty stacked at guard. Georgia Tech transfer Vaipulu, Gabe Blair, and Febechi Nwaiwu already on the spring roster. Plus Miner the Arkansas State starter transferring in at Center. Will be interesting to see how the competition plays out.

Yup walk ons. I counted the 4 that are out of eligibility in Eady, Browne, Martinez, and Huntsberry, plus 2 transfers in Abou and TP that gives us 6. If Morgan transfers that 7, but if he stays we have 6. Cotton is committed so that's -1 to both of those numbers so, 6 or 5 left depending on what Morgan does.
Don’t forget we were only at 12 scholarships this season after Zephir left the team.

Guessing we won’t see Oklahoma State in Denton anytime soon.
Should definitely reach out to other top mid majors that have the same problem. Felt like that’s what we were going for with schools like Nevada, Saint Mary’s, Loyola Chicago, Dayton, etc.
Maybe we have the reputation to get more of these types to go home and home with us instead of us just going there.

How about Dodge the way he gets his teams to play D?

What f*#k is Wren Baker doing with the team?
You see, it’s actually because he is the Chairman of the NIT committee

Just think how awesome it is to add The University of North Texas to the legacy of NIT champions. Just an incredible day for UNT athletics.

I do not enjoy these Jelly Walker trips to the line to shoot 3 free throws.

My Mom, who I gather is roughly your age because she wrote for the Daily in the mid to late 70s, called last night and said it was bigger than anything when she was in school and knew Coach Blakeley was smiling. The NIT did after all invite independents back then and we didn't get the call (Mom was in his office when he found out neither tourney invited us...he was not happy)
Now was the 70s team better than anything Mac has had? Sure, probably so - though given FAU's run, perhaps not.
Post season wins tend to trump regular season ones though (no matter how big) because they get remembered in the books. There's no wikipedia page for the West Texas win. An NIT title would live forever.
It’s nice that Sports Reference shows our SRS (Simple Rating System) score of our teams throughout the years. It’s just a standard rating based on strength of schedule that season and point differential. Helps quantify where each team stood relative to the rest of D1 men’s college basketball each year.
Our SRS each of the past four seasons has set a new program high. It’s also interesting that the highest marks before Mccasland were set by Spika’s MVC teams, not Blakeley’s teams. It also shows the Strength of Schedule which was much higher in the MVC in the 60s than it was those elite Blakeley years.
It’s not exact because it does seem to overweight strength of schedule, but it’s still cool to see something showing Mccasland’s consistent ability to propel our program to new heights.

Great game. Glad we get to watch this team play for a championship because they are extremely deserving of it.

This starter wasn’t leaving until Seth got his “analist” job at OU. It’s pretty clear what happened. I thought Ol’ Seth was all about that building leaders….b.s. Poor example of character. Hope this clear recruiting of our players gets us off the hook for his $1.5 million. What pisses me off more was the fact that I was always a fan of SL because I thought he was a good man. Who would have thought that Big Bad OU would have to poach players off of UNT.
Best part about it is that we will be fine without him.
If that is in fact what happened, then I continue to be not worried about the HS kids Morris is bringing in/getting committed. Unless he gets hired away by a P5.

They're leaving if they're getting tampered with, period. And of course only starters will be illegally poached, they ain't coming after guys getting 6 snaps.
And I’m saying our starters weren’t leaving prior to the coaching change. Outside of the Murphy twins, everyone else already had given us 4 years and graduated. I just don’t think this is widespread enough to warrant the hysteria the times that it does. When you get a new coach, you’re signing up for the roster that coach is going to put together. Not the roster that he inherited.
If in two-three years we are seeing these 2023 and 2024 signees that Morris brought in leaving for P5s after starting as underclassmen, then I’d be concerned.

Roster building is a year-to-year proposition now.
No use getting excited about young players.Or maybe we should just get excited about the young players on the Abilene Christian or Louisiana Monroe rosters?
The game has changed. We have to evolve.
Eh, not exactly. Coaching change is a unique circumstance. We weren’t losing starters under Littrell except for Grad Transfers. Most of which had already played 4 seasons for us and were going somewhere else to use that extra COVID year. Murphy twins were really the only ones.
I think Morris’ recruits will stay, save for the outlier here and there. But just like with the Murphy twins and Gumms, people on here will be the loudest about the outliers and not the starter-caliber players who are staying here 4 years.

I remember when Karen Aston left after 1 year and the tone on this board was so different. She went out of her way talking about how this was where she wanted to be.
Damn shame this kid gets ripped and character questioned for changing his mind. And adults are the ones throwing big money around using these kids for our entertainment.
Best of luck Gumms. Live YOUR life son. No body will give a damn about you when your eligibility is up.
Spot on

Amaro caught 106 Morris' first year there. He and Cumbie were each Co-Oc with Morris over inside receivers and Cumbie over outside receivers and the Texas Tech coach profile pages give him direct credit for Amaro who's not even mentioned on Cumbie's page. Just because he doesn't actively seek out TEs for his offense, doesn't mean he wouldn't use a special talent at TE if he had it.
Also, worth noting Washington state had zero TEs on the roster when Morris got there.
Yeah I definitely agree he would’ve used Gumms, similar to how he did when he inherited Amaro. That’s not my point. I just don’t think Tight End is going to be a big part of Morris’ offense otherwise.
He got one committed for 2024 so I think he will use one, but I think base offense will be 10 personnel.

Morris was directly involved as Co-OC/Inside Receivers in coaching Jace Amaro when he was a unanimous All-American TE in 2013. There's something else going on but it is what it is. I'm looking forward to Christian Lee getting his shot.
Tight Ends caught 12 passes in his offense last year and 7 the year before that.

Morris hasn’t used TEs much traditionally. I think the biggest winner here is Jordan Smart.

Hey Mean Green fans. Badger fan here - I've been to your campus like 30 years ago when I lived for a couple years in Flower Mound.
I think nothing posted here about the Badgers is blatantly wrong.
There was a comment about Jordan Davis getting a "rare" start earlier in the year, but he was in fact the starter at the 3 up until midway through the year when Essegian was inserted. Essegian is in a horrid slump - he came in as a sharpshooter and was the emerging leading scorer/primary option, but has gone ice cold the last 10 or so games. There's some chatter amongst the fans about putting Davis back in because he's the better option defensively.
Has UW played a defense as good as UNT? Looking on t-rank, it looks like Rutgers, Kansas, Purdue, and Northwestern are ranked ahead of UNT at 24, and UW is at 25. 9 of the 14 B10 teams were top 50 defenses.
Quite frankly, UW struggles mightily on offense. What worries me most is that you have an excellent 2P% defense and we are really terrible this year at that. Crowl is a 7 footer and he was excellent in the first two rounds of the NIT, but was not able to outduel the bigs of Oregon offensively, getting a lot of shots blocked and altered. Tyler Wahl also mainly scores by backing defenders down in the post, but he has been terribly inefficient at that this year, especially since his injury at the beginning of January. Gilmore is the main backup big to both of those guys and he is a huge step down offensively - he does play good defense, though. Hepburn, our PG, is also notoriously inefficient inside the arc, but when he has a size advantage - like he did against Liberty - he can go crazy.
The other thing to mention is almost every game UW plays is close. Last night was the 20th game decided by 5 points or less. In back to back games, UW took Purdue to the wire and had to sweat against bottom-feeding Minnesota.
Ask me anything.
Thanks! Thought it a was a good touch that you underlined “quite” in your post.

If Data Skrive is still doing recaps of the NIT, even in Vegas, that could tell me everything I need to know about how important this tournament is to ESPN.
I think it has less to do with ESPN and more to do with the AP. That’s whose summaries ESPN is going to use most of the time.

This is what you sign up for when you make a coaching change. If your top priority is to keep the guys already on your roster, then Seth Littrell should have been re-hired.
