I cannot see Grant leaving UNT any time soon.  I think he is a family first, Church-going man that has found a home in Denton.  Don't think he is the type that would uproot his family.  And that 8,000+ crowd at the Super Pit shows the real potential at UNT.  Give Coach McCasland the recruiting tools and money for his assistants and I think he could stay in Denton for a long time.

Grant needs what Bill Blakely called an aircraft carrier or scoring-rebounder deluxe to fall into his lap like a Karl Malone or Elvin Hayes. One who would mesh with our present team matter a fact.   
Still marvel how UH’s Guy Lewis recruited the Big E out of Rayville, Louisiana. Seems the Texas Southern basketball coach was sure Grambling (or another SWAC) school was going to sign Hayes & so that the Tigers wouldn’t have to play against the Big E the TSU coach calls UH’s Guy Lewis & ask him if he’d be interested in recruiting Hayes.  Of course he was interested & as I recall the TSU coach all but lined up Elvin Hayes for Coach Lewis to recruit & then sign with the Coogs. Sometimes you just need a little luck (& a phone call) to turn a whole program around & put it in a different stratosphere.

      The Athletic on DFW Football recruiting

      It's not as easy as it was to be invited to the top anymore. Everyone wants to be up at the top, so universities throw money at their programs hoping it happens. In the 80's if you threw money at your program then you had a real shot. Now, it's all based on brand recognition and perception. Though what you are saying has a lot of credence to it, but I think the downfall of the university's athletics started when the university started to push the "university for all" bullshit. And though I think that's a slogan that's not that dated, that's not what I am referencing. I am more so referring to when the push was artsy and music students, and then this liberal inclusion bullshit. Sport people USUALLY don't share those beliefs and/or interests. And when you're making a gigantic bulk of your enrollment that, well, our student and alum involvement turns out to be the result. The drop down certainly did alienate a large % of fans in that window of time, but in the 21st century our problem is what and who we're catering to.

      SWAC leading rebounder Brian Myles to announce where he's going

      There are a ton of players still in the portal. It sucks, but we have to be patient and see how things play out. Let the big money NIL's grab up who they want and there will be a lot of really good players looking for a place to land.

      Head coach, not anymore

      Deion here for a good time, not a long time. He may bounce after this year.

      Head coach, not anymore

      I already know about him. Deion was on him all year for his lack of work ethic. EDIT: https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/from-colorado-to-transfer-portal-is-there-a-path-of-redemption-for-cormani-mcclain/
