When is NT going to stop making excuses? I am hearing we are in our first year of a rebuild? How are we EVER going to elevate this program with this type of mentality? 

 

Today has been a pathetic display of coaching and the HC needs to be called out for this embarrassment.

this scheme will probably perform better against pass heavy teams (mostly everyone on our schedule) and weaker athletes (everyone else on the schedule).

this is a terrible matchup for us to roll out this defense with, but yeah, definitely not a promising start

We are always in a rebuild. It’s always, “Wait til next year”

At least Morris took the blame.  

I could take the blame for global warming, but I guarantee you I'm still driving my kids around in my gas guzzling minivan tomorrow.

Heard it all before. His words didn't match the actions.

Who from NT made the excuse that this is a rebuilding year?  Maybe I missed it.

A ton of people on this very board are poo-pooing the lack of talent on the team.  I’ve seen at least a dozen people give the “not enough time to recruit his guys…” excuse.  That is insinuating a “rebuilding year”.
 

Morris took over a bowl-eligible team.

I can guarantee the loss would not have been this bad under the previous regime (probably still would’ve been a ‘L’ though).

I'm being patient but you're right. I've watched other teams and I think this is still a bowl team. Just need to tighten up the defense. I think our offense is capable of doing damage if our running game wakes up.

Regarding talent, Seth could recruit. We've just lost a bunch to the portal but he could recruit. That's where I'm looking for Morris and Co to improve greatly.

      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.
