I hadn't heard about this RB from Duncanville...Vernon Frazier. He's 5' 6", 152.....and is the 92nd rated player on the DMN Area 100.

It shows him today as having committed to North Texas.

Is that right????

If so, anyone know anything about him?

VERY VERY VERY FAST. SPEED, SPEED, SPEED. That should tell you a lot. He runs a legit 4.4 time, not like all the other recruits,he can actually run this time. He is committed to UTEP, if UNT were to get him it would really boost up their class. He can contribute instantly.

Well, tell the people at the Dallas Morning News to check their facts then because he shows to be a commit to North Texas.

That commitment to UTEP came way back in July....so I could definitely see the kid changing his mind. (that was in the pre-TD days at UNT, for one thing).

Secondly, I hope the guy is 5 ' 6". I love those little scat back types. We have had some great small RBs in the past (Malcolm Jones was maybe 5' 7"....Carlen Charleston was only 5 5".

In 1980 Malcom Jones (listed as 5'6" X 150 in the 1978 press guide), gained 1144 yards. Malcom Jones was the third back in NT History to gain 1000 yards.

In the 2005 press guide Carlen Charleston ( who was all of 5'5" X 155 lbs) was listed as tied for the #7 position in career all-purpose yards with 2997 total yrds.

Also, as I recall.....Malcolm held our record (for many years), for most rushing yards in a game. I think it was 207. If I'm not mistaken, I think that record was first broken by Cedric Cromer in 1995 (versus Idaho State). I think that record is now held by J-Mo....but I may be wrong.

Anyway, Malcom was great. Sadly, he died young, working on an oil rig (as I recall).

      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.
