Freshman forward Abou Ousmane has intrigued Mean Green fans since the day he arrived in Denton. The center played a big role in his high school team’s success, leading the Scotland Performance Institute Knights to a 40-4 season while averaging 15 points and 10 rebounds per game.

Coming out of high school, Ousmane was an unranked player with numerous offers from universities of all different tiers. He received offers from Old Dominion University, the University of Rhode Island, the University of Toledo, Georgetown University and even Texas A&M. However, Ousmane committed to Rhode Island on March 27, 2020, only to de-commit and reopen his recruiting all within a week. He then committed to the Mean Green on April 10, and eventually enrolled at North Texas almost four months later.

Could he be the future face of UNT basketball? I just realized next year will be the post Hamlet-Simmons era, and I have yet to wrap my mind around what that will be like.

Came back to say I remembered the COVID extra year.  I think that is what your post is referring to.

Still wish we had offered the big freshman that went to LaTech. He is much farther along in his development than Abou but Grant must think his ceiling as a player is higher.
