Good kid and a scorer, but a defensive liability and cannot play the point. He couldn’t win games like Tylor could and he is small. I do appreciate what he did here and wish him well.
Pointing out his liabilities is not really warranted, as we'd all be thrilled if he returned.
It's not really fair to compare him to Perry either. They had different strengths, and Perry was here for 2 years & improved from year 1 to year 2.- 6

If he is graduating with a degree from UNT best of luck.
If he is leaving for greener pastures without a degree, I hope it turns brown and he falls flat on his face
He was a JUCO guy last year, and only played here 1 year, so unless he had a huge classload (20+hrs/semester) plus maymester & summer classes... I highly doubt this.
I bet he finds his way to a SEC or ACC school though. Best of luck to him. Leaves a scoring void though.
Get on the phone with Ivy-Curry! He would be an excellent addition to the line of explosive JUCO players we've had over the past 5 years!

Duke has to keep its options open.
The ACC is toast if the projected defections happen. Seven current ACC members; Clemson, Florida State, North Carolina, Miami, NC State, Virginia, and Virginia Tech are exploring options with Florida State and Clemson already suing to escape.
On the other side The Big Ten wants Notre Dame and has already annexed about every single Irish rival except Stanford. They are now in perfect position to take both.
Virginia and North Carolina are the top prizes bolting from the ACC because of their media value and are highly desired by both the Big Ten and the SEC.
There will be a mass exodus of remaining schools applying for Big 12 membership if Stanford, Notre Dame, Virginia, and North Carolina all accept their forecasted P2 invitations.
This will leave Boston College and Wake Forest with the Washington State/Oregon State dilemma; owning a legendary conference name but without any media contracts, and Cal and SMU relegated to the discard table again.
Apparently this is funny to SMU guy.
Also, don't forget Louisville & Pitt in that "leftover" bin.

Y'all really are clueless.
I bet Duke is watching the addition of Cal/Stanford/SMU, and the attempts by FSU/Clemson to buy out (I bet others aren't far behind) carefully. ACC will be a dinosaur (like the PAC12) soon enough. Enjoy your couple of years with it in tact. I honestly hope to have SMU back in the AAC when the dust settles.

Nice to see him take a step up and advance his career.
He really deserves some rest with no expectations after putting up with SMU's crap for the past couple of years.

GREAT news!
Recruiting starts in your own house these days. Glad Tommisha is sticking around!

Xavier might still be a little too far from home.
I expect he'll find a Big East or A10 (maybe Colonial or MAAC) school closer to NYC.

Taylor’s size scares me but the kid is incredibly talented. I think Mason is going to be a stud that might push for minutes Year 1.
His height is probably what is keeping a lot of bigger programs away, but last time we picked up an undersized PG from a neighboring state that everyone else passed on (way back in 2007), we wound up with a HOF'er. 🤞

UAB is an equal, but they don't scare me the way FAU did. I always thought the Owls were just flat better than us. I don't have that feeling about anyone else.
I always thought, each time we played them over the past 2 years, we could beat FAU... until "Davis time". Then:
I'll be so glad when that guy is gone.

Where do we go from here? One way ticket to the AAC champs.
May out at FAU? USF was great this season, but I need another year before I'm convinced. No one else scares me.
As long as Kennedy is at UAB, they will continue to be a thorn, and it doesn't look like Charlotte is going anywhere. Does Memphis do anything over the offseason?
It's nice to have a team that's always contending. We actually have to think about what the other contenders are doing to keep up/be better!- 2

Precisely. That's why I have been an advocate of making an internal decision as a program and university to move in that direction for our football program.
We could run the most perfect offense in the world and score 40ppg... we'd still get 45+ hung on us every week with this defense. Hodge's defense is not in the same neighborhood as Morris/Caponi.

So, given that, we can recruit junk yard dawgs, play like snails, slap the floor and rely on defense. It's a frustrating product to defend and it's a winning formula for us.
It's like having to play against the Triple-option in football. Just a different animal. I love it.

I don't underestimate it. I just accept that it is the way things are until somebody figures out how to bring more order to the chaos.
Bigger schools damage us. We damage smaller schools.
It works both ways.
I bet OU wasn't too happy to lose one of their brighter young guys last year in Noland (a guy who started 8 games for them as a sophomore). But Noland wanted more run, and he found that here. I'm glad he did.
I bet OleMiss wasn't too happy to lose Allen (a 13-game starter last year), but I'm thankful they did.It's just a part of the game you have to play. Recruiting is a different animal now.

There's no recruiting dropoff. Hodge is likely more relatable than McCasland anyway.
Coach Hodge brought in Edwards, Noland, Buggs, Walker & Allen over the last cycle. Also, Phil Forte, who is a good coach/recruiter.
The two HS kids we have lined up appear to be nice players (Taylor ranked the #20PG in this class), and based on last year's success, I think it's safe to say he knows what he's doing when finding guys in the portal & JUCO.- 7

Rob doesn’t have to move very far
Rice got better, no doubt. But coach is gonna be shocked at the stark contrast in admin & booster support between SMU & Rice.

Mentioned starting at Coffeyville... bypassed his biggest accomplishments... went into massive props for KSU.

Northwestern making this a very North Texas-style game... FAU up 20-19 at half!
Based on this i fully expect FAU to pat them on the head with about 4 minutes remaining and win comfortably
I guess FAU ran out of gas.

high flying style, huh?
Someone might have watched the 2nd half of the LSU game, and drew some conclusions.
I really hope their actual team thinks the same.

Sanford is getting screwed.
They deserved better than what happened to them.
They definitely would've rebounded the ball there and had the last shot of the game, just needing 2 to win. Instead, they're down 3pts after 2 made undeserved FTs. I don't understand why it wasn't reviewed.- 1

I believe Ousmane played in the first NIT game last year.
You're correct.

I bet they are looking ahead to playing Boston College or UNLV.
I don't know if they have a gmg.com comparative board, but their Rivals board is somewhat active, and there is very little talk about us. Who knows what their players are thinking though.

BREAKING: Jason Edwards to enter transfer portal
in Mean Green Basketball
Posted
I think without Rubin for a lot of the season, he sorta 'seized' that opening. Nothing wrong with that really, as we needed someone to step up.
Who's to say he couldn't do the same as Tylor & Javion, and improve from year 1 to year 2?
