  1. Now that we know we have at least 2 open slots, please list realistic UNT portal possibilities. Recent history has shown that the team will go Juco in its search. However, some notable local names to ponder: Cameron Barnes - Slim 6-10 kid just entered the portal from Ole Miss. Still raw but started at center for powerhouse Duncanville the last 3 years. Should be a redshirt freshman Drew Steffe - Never played his freshman season at Tech. Family issues caused him to withdraw from the program. Big time 6-5 recruit out of Frisco Memorial. Great shooter. Davion Sykes - Texas State transfer and another former Duncanville Panther. Good wing prospect that may have undersigned Eddie Lampkin Jr - Colorado & TCU transfer. 6-11, 265 from Morton Ranch HS in Houston. Would move right into the starting center position. Ashton Smith - 6-9, 270 from Oral Roberts. Played with Aaron Smith in HS. Not great but a big body Duncan Powell - Sacramento State & NC State transfer from DeSoto, TX. Played one year with Chris Morgan. Micah Peevy - TCU & Texas Tech - Excellent player out of Duncanville HS where he played for father David. Will more than likely stay P5 or enter the draft Jakobe Coles - TCU & Oklahoma - 6-7 C/F that played on a very good Denton Guyer team Alex Anamekwe - UT transfer. Very good HS player out of McKinney HS. 6-5 Lee Dort - Vanderbilt transfer. 6-10, 245. May have little interest since he was arrested for aggravated assault of his ex girlfriend. From McKinney, TX Abou Ousmane - 6-10 big transfer from Xavier. Former Mean Green starting center

  3. It's the wild wild west out here! Kids are doing what coaches do and even at the high school level https://www.dallasnews.com/high-school-sports/basketball/2024/03/27/four-time-state-champion-andrea-robinson-is-leaving-desoto-to-coach-at-faith-family/
  4. I don't know why we keep ripping guys that contributed from day 1. There's a very good chance that this team would not have achieved what it did without Jason Edwards. If he was the complete package when he came here he wouldn't have came here. Again, this fanbase/board needs to come to grips with the age of NIL and the transfer portal. We love our guys until they leave.
  5. Don't think the current scholarship count will allow 3 additional pieces.
  6. Enters the transfer portal https://x.com/ChrisdonMorgan/status/1772669863133147194?s=20

  8. Rough night shooting. 2-13 fg 2-12 (3 pt shots)
  9. Welfare check on DesiRay Kernal
  10. We just need to get over NIL and Collectives for the college athlete. The NCAA had forever to properly compensate the talents of these young men and women. They continued to get greedy and not share any of the revenue. Unfortunately, there is no more amateurism in major college sports. Kids can move around just like coaches have always done. Yes, I hate it just as much as the next guy but the US congress (Ted Cruz & Manchin) should not be prioritizing a non kitchen table issue. A good thing is many top notch athletics are staying in school longer rather than leaving for the league to make money.

  12. Layne Taylor will be the best pure point guard/play maker on the team. He's also a very good shooter. My only question is does he have the quickness necessary at the next level. Seemed to struggle against bigger and faster guys. Defense is adequate. Certainly a rotation guy from day 1.

  14. I've seen Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter of Colorado in multiple commercials
  15. Farmington fell short tonight 71-56 against a very good Little Rock team in their state championship game. Layne ended up with 40 points.
  16. Tristan Thompson went into the HOF in 2020. I suspect that all the names being listed will eventually go into the UNT Hall of Fame. Damn shame but this is what it has become over the past few years. Coaches with losing records, players that played here 1 or 2 years, average players etc.
  17. Interesting you asked. I just watched Taylor's game from two weeks ago last night. I think if he was about 2-3 inches taller, he would be a P5 kid. Love his game. Not sure he will excel against bigger and faster G5 guys. I also watched 2 playoff games last year where he looked very good at times but struggled against the eventual quicker & more athletic State Champ. I may watch his game playoff game from yesterday later tonight (against Magnolia) in which he scored 30. (NFHS Network) Mason lead the DFW area in scoring with an average of about 26 ppg. Very good size and reminds me a lot of Alex Cotton. Don't see him having an immediate impact but the talent is certainly there. He was on a very bad Plano team that didn't even make the 4 team playoffs. Outside shooting is inconsistent but he can shoot and get to the bucket.
  18. Unless we are a perennial top 20-25 program, I don't know why it is acceptable to knowingly sign bench/role players. J. Morgan was not a good player in high school. Why would we expect more from him now? Stone was the 3rd best kid on his Oklahoma HS team. Why would he be a key guy on the G5 level? The kid from Kilgore JC (not sure he is on scholarship) just started playing the game. Our recruiting has been boom or bust for the past 5-6 years. Half of the recruits have excelled while the other half have been busts. Stop wasting valuable scholarships on kids of great character that may be great in practice. Treat each scholarships like it's the only one we have. There are too many good/great players that we pass up that could really help this program. (with no known issues) More so in football. Just my weekly rant
  19. Turnover impacts every program in the country every year. The better one's just reload.
  20. Off the topic but Gwendlyn McGrew (Pasadena Memorial recruit) is the real deal. Watched a full game yesterday online (from December 30th). Scored 40 against Clear Lake. Good size for a shooting guard. Not excited at all about the Juco All-American from Collin County (Mackenzie Buss) Very petite 5-4 pg. The other recruit from FW Brewer (Chania Price) didn't show much as well but is at least 6-0. Carry on
