UNT Notes

Forward parts ways with basketball team

DENTON - Coach Johnny Jones announced Tuesday that junior forward Unjel Masters has left the men's basketball team for personal reasons.

Jones said Masters phoned him about 30 minutes before UNT was to leave for its latest road trip to Denver with his decision. The 6-foot-9 Masters had started nine times for the Mean Green this season and was averaging 2.8 rebounds and 3.1 points in a little more than 14 minutes per game.

Masters dressed but didn't play against Western Kentucky on Feb. 8, his last game with the team. The recent emergence of Justin Barnett in the UNT frontcourt had cut down on Masters' playing time. However, Barnett is questionable for the Mean Green's game against New Orleans on Thursday because of a recurring back injury.

Jones said Masters' departure will be permanent despite Masters having one remaining season of eligibility.

Well I guess he's officially done. Like we discussed in the thread below I wonder if this was more personal or team related. The article hinted that he may have left because of lack of playing time.

I hope it's that rather than some personal problem the kid may have. I wish him the best.
