Ah yea, I think the game we were suppose to have against them at the pit was cancelled because Nevada’s coach or someone got Covid

The truth is some really good things happened under RV and some not so good things happened under RV. I do believe he left North Texas Athletics better than he found it. His tenure was marked by significantly less resources than the administrations since him, so it's honestly hard to even compare. Was it time for UNT to move on from RV? Sure, but I'm also willing to give him credit for the improvements that happened during his time as AD.

honestly, this is how I feel. we were better off than before he showed up by a long way, but he overstayed his welcome. Probably should have been gone 2-3 years before he was.

I am still not against selling the naming rights to Stadium. 

Stadium Stadium would at least be unique 🤣

Checking in on this guy.  Anyone with any insight into his first year on the job?
 

 

I have seen him at many events. Very nice guy and seems to do a good job engaging alumni

[Too many of you are on the fence]

I can root for some one and “be behind him and the program” and also be realistic. We are moving into a tougher conference (after never winning a title in our previous conference) and we have a new coach and new systems. It’s not unreasonable to think it will take a year jell. Yet I do still think we can pull off a 6-6 year which would be a good first step under Morris. 2024 and beyond I’ll expect better results

just gonna repost this with a few edits since the "we need another big man" people who stopped learning about basketball in 1998 are back out posting again:

it could be a luxury, but I don't really think we "need" any more size than what is already on the roster.

looking across our AAC foes and really the entire college basketball landscape, save for maybe the absolute elite programs most everyone is running out at least 3 if not 4 guards around a "center" who really is more of a classic power forward.

my assumption on the starting line-up, at least early on, next season:

1. Rubin Jones - 6'5" 190
2. John Buggs III - 6'3" 185
3. Matt Stone - 6'4" 205  CJ Noland - 6'3" 230
4. Aaron Scott - 6'7" 200 (that feels small...he at least plays bigger)
5. Moulaye Sissoko - 6'9" 240

that's plenty of size across the whole floor, especially the way they team defend and team rebound. I anticipate we'll still use a pretty tight 8 man rotation...Allen the Ole Miss transfer is 6'8" 230 and will likely be the primary 4/5 back-up...if Morgan gets his line up to something like 2ppg, 2rpg in 20 appearances, I'll call it a win...Edwards I'm assuming will be the primary bench scorer with Moore growing into a contributing role throughout the season. Stone now presumably moves to the bench where he can fill in time at the 2, 3 and 4. no clue on Cotton.

with all that in place, my priority with the open spots would be an upgrade to Stone at the 3...an experienced tough 6'5"-ish guard who rebounds and shoots 35%+ from 3 and can play some PF in a small line-up. (I was off by about 2 inches, but with his strong frame you can easily get away with CJ playing stretches at the 4) maybe then a wirey 6'7"-ish high school kid...raw with some upside...I think we're looking for one more immediate contributor and an upside project with the final scholarships

I agree with this! Great write up

Also this is a big pick up! Boss Hodge really killing the transfer portal! We don’t rebuild, we reload in Denton TX

I think he'll be back.  He made a bad decision going to Reneault, which backfired, and it didn't work out for whatever reason at McLaren, but he's back home as a reserve driver for Red Bull.  I think Perez may go somewhere else soon, which would open up an open seat.  

No way Red Bull gives him one of the two seats again. They would get someone younger if Perez leaves

So we are limited but TCU and SMU are not?  We should always recruit our “home area” first. We should have relationships with all the schools but especially the traditional powers like Duncanville.  There is another thread about a young man from Denton High. I don’t think we ever contacted him or set foot on their campus. That doesn’t mean we will sign a local kid every year, but we should have those relationships in place. 

I’m not trying to start an argument because I agree we can recruit more local talent, but how do you know he wasn’t contacted and just said thanks but not interested?

[If a guy leaves UNT for the portal should they be allowed to enter the HOF or return to coach?]

Dumb question. Yes they should be eligible

[What's your North Texas story?]

I moved back to New Hampshire when I was 18 ( after living in Arkansas for two years) and was going to go to a school called NHTI (New Hampshire Technical Institute) to study sports management. I had also been accepted into UIW (Incarnate Word) down in San Antonio but NHTI had a sports management degree and I thought it would be fun to move in with my best friend halfway across the country and do college back in New England where i still had family (Aunts and Uncles and such). Long story short, about 3 months later and with a complicated living situation, I ended up moving to Lewisville as my Mom had moved there when I was 16, and I stayed with her and went to NCTC in Corinth. Once at NCTC, I decided I wanted to do RTVF and heard about North Texas and the great program, plus all my NCTC credits would be accepted at NT. I applied, got accepted, joined the pit crew, joined the housing association, became an RA, fell in love with Denton and the Metroplex, and loved MG Sports (amazingly through the Dodge era, thank god for Johnny Jones). It was the best decision I ever made! GMG!
