Considering the fact that everyone seems to think that we are not a young team....... we are an inexperienced team.

But more so..... Our depth is THE BIGGEST reason for concern. Defense in particular.

We have a lot of new injuries coming in. And a lot of people saying that these new guys haven't been on the field..... Let's hope that the minimal depth we have is enough to prove that Mac can recruit well AND HOPEFULLY WE KEEP THESE GUYS CLEAR FROM INJURY the rest of the season.

There are a multitude of our guys that are absolutely in a world of pain at 23 years of age. Also consider that when you talk your trash. This is not the NFL.

Mac said at the beginning of the year the biggest question is if NT could backfill and prove they have surpassed the hump with recruiting. With his latest admission that the team has less talent and its recent performance, we're all staring at the answer we were hoping to avoid. If you're implying it's more injuries than anything, I'm hoping you're right....

This has everything to do with recruiting, or lack thereof, if we are struggling with depth who's mothafu*kin fault is that?!?!?! Our coaching staff blows, point blank. And I've been stating this since I've been following North Texas (since McCarney has come on). I can only imagine what you poor folks have went through since most of you are advocates of this joke of a coaching staff. Dude is a loser. There is no nice way to say it.

We've already discussed the mystery exodus that is classes 2011 and 2012. Are we seeing a similar trend from the 2013 class, or is it intact?

The 2013 class is mostly intact. That class we only signed 14 high school kids, so it was pretty small. Only one of those high school kids has left. As I've said before, not all offers are listed on every kid's recruiting profiles, but the only players from that class whose profiles listed more than 1 other FBS scholarship offer, besides their offer from UNT, were Fred Scott, Syd Moore, Darvin Kidsy, and Chad Davis.

So a small class, and most either had no other scholarship offers or just 1 other offer (according to their recruiting profiles). This group is pivotal if we are to have any shot at having a rebound year next year.

I agree with SSP...our defense is banged up...If you were in Birmingham, it was obvious to see.

So you are talking about a group of guys who are in a lot of pain and who are not very mobile,

who are being told that they are not talented and I see no evidence of positive motivation.

These kids wanted to be at UNT...our roster is not going to change between now and the end

of this season. I hope someone can help these kids keep it together.

Another reply to this: I have a sliver of hope that, as long as our classes stay in tact, Mac can make this team competitive. In the long term my expectations will be higher, but right now I want to grasp for something that will make me believe it can rebound from this season.

You are correct: 2013 class is very pivotal.

I have been following you since you started really posting a few months ago and you can't post anything without using inappropriate language and calling this coaching staff, the best and most inexperienced since the 70's. I am starting to realize why long time posters grow tired of this place and stop posting.

      Similar to the deceiving wording when our men’s recruit went to central Arkansas😂

      Doesn't seem new, but unlimited transfers

      Tim Pernetti's (new AAC Commissioner) remarks regarding exploring more corporate involvement seems interesting and innovative, sort of. Getting some heavy-hitter businesses on board with their big advertising/public-relations budgets. They get to splash their logos all over the AAC venues, ceremonies, uniforms, etc in exchange for some NIL type moola. I don't know, it all just feels weird and uncomfortable to this old fat guy.

      We have complained for years about being left in the dark. The Mean Green Club was promised quarterly meetings that never took place, now there is little to no coverage of the spring practices, player movement is constant so the days of watching a last second scholarship player developing in to a Hall of Fame performer are long gone ala Johnny Quinn, there is little to no fan engagement, etc... It just keeps getting worse and without a push to really involve the fans, I foresee a bleak future. They, the AD, has to create excitement around the team/program or Apogee will just become a waste of money, the new basketball arena will never happen and future adds like baseball will just be an idea that came too late. The days of the G5's are on their way out. It will be whittled down to the top 40 or 50 programs as D1. We might as well go back to our D1AA days and play at the FCS level. I am just about done with sports from a financial commitment position. The greed has ruined it for me. Their is zero loyalty towards the program by the players. It is all about them and how much money they can cram in their pockets and it appears our basketball coach encourages the lack of loyalty. I will watch on television, but that's about it, much like pro sports have become. I have no interest in attending a Cowboys' game live once the prices became ridiculous, same with the Mav's and Rangers' in that stupid new ballpark that was a waste of money. I had arrived at a point where I was only willing to invest in watching North Texas live, but the current situation has ruined that as well. The future of all of college sports is a disaster if some type of control isn't put in place. It is ridiculous and very sad. Guess I will end up spending my money on golf, fine food and drink, drugs, etc. and become a more interesting person.

      SB at Memphis (4/19-21/24)

      Opportunity to beat up on one of the worst teams in the country in Memphis (5-34, 1-17). Really can't let them steal one like UTSA did a few weeks ago. This could help solidify a top two seed (top two seeds would only need to win two games in the conference tournament to win the title) if Tulsa takes 2 of 3 from Charlotte this weekend. SCHOOL CONF CPCT. OVERALL PCT. HOME AWAY NEUTRAL THIS WEEKEND Florida Atlantic 13-5 .722 33-12 .733 19-6 11-6 3-0 vs. UTSA North Texas 12-6 .667 25-19 .568 15-8 7-9 3-2 at Memphis Charlotte 12-6 .667 26-16 .619 12-8 9-7 5-1 vs. Tulsa Tulsa 12-6 .667 27-15 .643 13-3 9-8 5-4 at Charlotte UAB 11-7 .611 20-22 .476 13-5 2-13 5-4 at Wichita State Wichita State 10-8 .556 19-18 .514 5-6 9-8 5-4 vs. UAB South Florida 9-9 .500 30-16 .652 23-11 7-5 0-0 at East Carolina East Carolina 7-11 .389 30-15 .667 21-7 5-8 4-0 vs. South Florida UTSA 3-15 .167 12-34 .261 3-10 2-14 7-10 at Florida Atlantic Memphis 1-17 .056 5-34 .128 4-16 1-13 0-5 vs. North Texas
