11.5 points and 7.5 points per game last year.

 

Sounds like he is two players rolled into one!

 

Ambidextrous...11.5 left hand and 7.5 right hand = 19 PPG. Vito was in a hurry and left those facts out of his article.

Surely this can't be right.  I am sure it has been stated a coach on his last contract year can't recruit anyone.  

 

A very late JC that may or may not qualify. A free ride is a free ride.

The lead is buried here. Apparently Neighbors thinks this kid "will be good for what UNT is trying to do." How is he going to scare the 500 remaining fans out of the Superpit?

Let me know when he gets a HS kid with lots of options and not a juco.

We figured that being in his last year of the contract he would likely only have one or two spots and they would be filled the juco route.  He has a pretty salty high school commit already and the transfer guard from San Diego.

Why not a 5 star All American?

Obviously, anyone can recruit some players to just about any program.  That was the point against those arguing that Benford must get an extension to recruit.  There is also no evidence that his recruiting would be any better with an extension. 

He was not highly recruited, but could fill a real important role on the team next year.  Johnson was a very nice pick-up and I hope Temara follows suit.

without a coach we will go no where even with talent.  I think benford can recruit but coaching is not what he is good at.  He calls a timeout and we do nothing different after it. I have to think the timeout conversations sound something like this.  they are killing us but keep doing what we are doing it might work.  Go team!

Actually heard him yell "go up strong" to Holman during a game his first year. 

That's something I wouldn't even do.

He is worse than Trilli, and will fail miserably next year.

Question is, will UNT even care?

      The bats have definitely been the biggest disappointment the past two years. The run support simply hasn't been there enough. Now, I'm still optimistic for the tournament. Last year we won three straight to make it to the title game. But that double bye would have been nice especially if we only have two reliable pitchers right now.

      Why the NCAA model is dying and will be replaced

      You can rebuild a college basketball rotation to contend at a high level in one year. That is just 8-9 players. And if you get lucky with 2-3 absolute monsters, you can make a run in any given season. Of course, then those 2-3 monsters will get poached by deeper pockets and you will have to start all over again. But still, it is possible. But we can’t rebuild a college football two-deep in one year. That’s almost 50 players that we need to compete at a high level. And as has been demonstrated, any time we get football players who have any kind of success in the NIL era, they are gone quicker than you can say “Chandler Rogers”. Another reason it is easier for us to compete in the NIL era in basketball is because that sport is dominated by guards. There are LOTS of talented guards available in college basketball and some of the very best can fall through the cracks and land with us for atleast a season. And while many people would say that college football is dominated by quarterbacks (and that position is VERY important)… what really separates the elite college football programs from everyone else are the defensive linemen. The supply of 18-24 year-old humans who weigh 300 pounds with the strength to take on multiple blockers while also having the speed to run down a quarterback is no where near the demand. And these defensive linemen usually take a while to develop. But anytime a defensive linemen shows a hint of promise, he gets funneled to the highest bidder and that won’t be us. Which means we will never be able to compete with the SEC or Big 10 in football.
