Like I stated, some players that depart early for pro or NIL deals will be revered as essential parts of our sports legacy for their contributions. They have earned their accolades and any post-career honors we may bestow upon them.
Others that come and go may only be regarded as productive journeymen. I am grateful that they selected North Texas as their stepping stone and brought their talents to Denton for a year.
I too am not thrilled with how NIL has destabilized rosters, but I am happy that we have a coaching staff that has demonstrated that they can navigate these new challenges.
The only thing remotely related is their star freshman, JT Toppins, being from Oak Cliff Faith Family Academy. Unfortunately, there's no chance he transfers to UNT based on the amount of national interest.
Four signed today, looks like an excellent group. I wish the men side could do something close in recruiting. I like what Hodge has done, but nothing close to Burton.
He has thus far kept his players and added this group to them. As I posted before, kepting Lambert was the best news on the NT basketball front.
I agree the entire NCAA needs revised or taken over by another entity (not named SEC or Big10).
But to drop is down to G5 National Champion status is no different then 1-AA or FCS National Champ. No Thanks. Next option?
Think it would be a good idea to add stops in Central Texas, East Texas, West Texas, and Oklahoma to those already planned to extend our footprints to new areas.
