"...according to multiple reports, UAB's Jordan "Jelly" Walker has agreed to sign a one-year deal with the Mavs. The 5-foot-11 guard played in 33 games last season, averaging 22.3 points and 4.2 assists while shooting 37.8 percent from deep. He won the 2021-22 Conference USA Player of the Year award and made the All-CUSA team two times."

Nowell from Kansas state got a 2 way too, maybe Tylor (I know he is elsewhere and “we” don’t care anymore) will get a shot after this last season for him as well.

Perry showed his true character… he won’t touch the NBA…. He is about him. Not the team. Maybe overseas one day….

Who do you like and respect?  Give me 3 basketball players. 

From? UNT? George King, Chris Davis, and Jordan Williams are near the top/topping my list. Would have been Jermey  Combs but we all saw what he did…

I appreciate your passion for loyalty.  These days are a bit different then the past due to NIL. Chris and Jordan may have made the decision to move on due to NIL Please remember and have sensitivity to the need for players to help their families financially.

did jelly have eligibility left at UAB?   I hope we are ready for a step up in competition in basketball and football.  The old guard does not seemed impressed with us showing up in the conference.  Hope we can prove them wrong.  I have no idea what to expect from football this season.

22 off the bench tonight. 7/12 from the field and 5/8 from 3. Also had 3 rebounds and 3 assists to 1 turnover. I believe he had 8 assists and 0 turnovers yesterday which gives him an 11/1 assist to turnover ratio which will definitely turn heads even though the sample size is small. He finished tonight with a +17 and was one of the main reasons the Mavs separated themselves from Atlanta. In my opinion, he's at least played himself onto a G league roster.

He's been fun to watch during summer league. I'm curious if he'll get a two way. Maybe an Exhibit 10. He could be a cheaper THJ

I had to look up what an "Exhibit 10" contract was...

Here are a few more notes relating to Exhibit 10 contracts:

  • A team can’t carry more than six Exhibit 10 contracts at a time.
  • An Exhibit 10 contract can only be converted to a two-way deal before the regular season begins.
  • An Exhibit 10 contract that gets converted to a two-way deal can later be converted into a standard NBA contract.
  • An Exhibit 10 bonus earned by a player who ends up in the G League or on a two-way contract isn’t counted toward the NBA team’s total salary.

I think MIles got the last 2 way contract, but jelly should already have an E10.  I think both Jelly and Miles at times played better then Hardy.  The Mavs already have enough guards, but they need a center, so I can see Hardy being part of a trade.

They aren't trading Hardy. They specifically turned down deals when teams asked for him this summer.

I think for the right deal they would, though it may not happen until the trade deadline.  They are going to need a solid center to make a run and hardy is a piece that I think other teams will want.

      How Mean Green softball is shaping up in 2025 and beyond

      In my relatively short time as a Mean Green fan, I don't think I've seen a team so carried by seniors. This weekend's series was the last three games at Lovelace for 10 Mean Green seniors, and all but one (Truitt) was either an everyday starter or saw significant playing time. Here's who will be returning barring any transfers. All classifications are what they will be in 2025. Likely starters (in my opinion) Rylee Nicholson (SR) - UT Cierra Simon (SR) - SS Madison Conley (SO) - UT Tatum Sparks (JR) - UT Elizabeth Moffitt (SO) - C Jodie Epperson (JR) - OF Returning Pitching Staff Skylar Savage (SR) Mackenzie Childers (JR) Kayleigh Smith (SO) Returning, but will they play? Mikaela Olguin (JR) - OF Emma Grahmann (SR) - IF Blayze McNemar (SO or RS-F?) - OF Maci George (SO or RS-F?) - IF There doesn't appear to be a website to find commits for softball, so through social media, here are the incoming freshmen I have found: Katy Brock, OF, Mabank Shelby Buffington, P, Franklin Page (Tennessee) Rylie Harris, C, Forney Gracie Mahoney, P, Macomb Dakota (Michigan) - another 6 footer, like Skylar Ausha Moore, IF, Carl Albert HS (Midwest City, OK) Taylor Platt, OF, Argyle Committed Inbound Freshmen for 2026 Eva Daniels, IF, Forney Laila Nobles, IF, Pearland Addie Perry, UT/C, Aledo Love the Metroplex talent we are bringing in. Forney's currently the #1 team in the state. But looks like we still have a handful of spots to fill next year. Going to need to improve the hitting and power. Maybe we can land some home run threats in the portal who want to get closer to home. I'll post stories and highlights of the commits shortly.

      Former Drake Guard Atin Wright commits to North Texas

      Hopefully after a few more years we will all be more accepting of heartbreak. I got used to it in high school.

      Yes, foolish us fans for thinking players are here in the program and loyal to the school.

      It's easier for us to say it's fun since we're not the ones who have to recruit an entire new team every year, but it's honestly exciting to see how the new team is built. The max exodi of beloved players sucks, but in this new age losing guys like TP, Drez, Rubin and Aaron doesn't have to mean a several-year rebuild. Now we can "retool" and even get better. I think this year was more of a gut punch because it felt to me and many others that Rubin and Aaron were Mean Green for life. They've been the constant leaders throughout the past turnover. But even healthy we weren't the most talented team in the conference. And I trust Hodge. The past seven years Grant and Hodge have run a clean program and as much as I love the guys who have played for us, I trust Hodge and Forte will continue recruiting players who will be good representatives of the university, even if only for a year. I also agree we need two more PF's - at least one who can space the floor shooting 3's. Assuming we have at least three scholarships left, so assume we'll see another guard. I'd like to see us bring on one guy who's averaged 18PPG or more. Doesn't matter which position though it'd be a nice changeup for it to be a high scoring big man.

      The last home games of the 2023-24 school year

      Weather has become a factor in a lot of games this season. Wet spring has really made this softball season pleasant. Feel like we had several 90+ degree games last season.
