Listen, I don't think any of you are understanding me. I agree the news about signing Mitchell is tease worthy. BUT WE DIDN'T SIGN THE GUY!!! He isn't even enrolled in school yet and we don't know if he'll ever play here. Therefore, there is very little to report. I'll happily eat crow when he leads us to our first ever final four but the rest of you can eat crow when he doesn't ever suit up for us.

How bout now?

Good enough?

Woa, chill out guys. I figured everyone shared my thoughts. Forgive me for being pessimistic but I'll be excited about this when he gets in, and makes it through his first semester. I won't conside

You guys are crazy. I simply pointed out that the enrollment of a once 5 star recruit isn't worthy of a huge tease. Sure, make a post this morning when you see him on campus or have verified that he

So the only way you'll ever approve or Vito's tease is if we make it to the final four?

It might just be a good idea to back away from the keyboard for a little bit...

Ah my friend, I too have made the mistake of saying something that literally pissed every one off on the board. Some advice, just let the subject die.

Ok... ok... I'm sold. Now lets make sure we get some serious tutors befriending him.

I'm not backing down from what I said though because I still believe the news was premature.

Yes, he's gotta complete his hours in school now, but so do any scholarship players in any sport. I'm confident that JJ and company will do everything in their power to make sure he ready come next Spring.

If it helps you feel better, I feel the same way. That's why I tell pregnants ladies to shut the hell up until they're actually holding a swaddled baby. Don't bore me with premis.

Your original post suggested this news would change the landscape of NT athletics for years to come. I don't see the signing of a great, but academically ineligible, basketball player to qualify as that.

Best case scenario he gets in, dominates the belt next year, and probably leaves after one year so he doesn't have to go to class anymore. I don't see that as being worthy of your first tease.

Just another reason not to read his blog.

damn dude no need to pee on my parade... getting the #2 SF in that nation to come play basketball at the Super Pit very well could change the landscape of NT athletics for years to come... look what Joe Greene did... Basketball at this school as never had a true legit superstar.... your just sour its not an O-lineman, tastygreek exposed you

We don't know that he necessarily needs tutors. The reason that he lacks the passed core curriculum is that he went to an unaccredited prep school in Miami as a junior. I haven't seen anything that leads me to believe that he has failed courses. It appears that he has made an acceptable score on the SAT/ACT and had a high enough grade point average to graduate from high school.

So what if the news was premature? Sometimes you go with your gut feeling. Vito did that and everyone is now quoting him and the Denton Record-Chronicle because he has the story. Accept his good fortune.

You're an idiot and a jerk.

This is the #12 player in the country. Blake Griffin was ranked 23rd when Rivals had him as a 5 star.

As someone else already pointed out, one draft analyst already has him penciled in as the 7th best prospect for the 2012 draft.

This is the biggest deal we've ever had recruiting wise. In any sport. Ever. Bigger than the guy Fry pulled in that was ranked 1st in Texas.

fyi...my six year old daughter has been taught that beginning an argument with name calling is unproductive.

No joke. I'm having a hard time figuring out why exactly I've been targeted for basically just not being as excited as everyone else.

No worries.People on this board think they are better then everyone else because they have money or donate or think they have an "in" with someone. I rather just talk to the players or something. This could have popped up before. I still take it as a knock, but they do not get it. So lets just celebrate that we snagged the best find in our school history and start focusing on our next two scholarships. Any ideas on some players here fellas?

Mine as well.... and I am hoping Jordan is reping our school well. And with Big T on board we will be quite a force. I wonder if this will help or hinder in us getting him. I heard he was a Cali man so somewhere on the west coast suites him better... :/

Don't have 2 more to give for sure.

Josh/Dom/Tristan/George/Shannon are done. 2 ships are open through the season (Mangrum and McGhee).

Jordan/Chris/Trey/Forrest/Walton are all signed. If Cam Spencer gets his 6th year approved, we only have on scholarship left to give (assuming Mitchell gets his grades and earns a ship for next year).

And the correct answer is that it needs to go to Nolan Dennis. Colin would have wanted it that way.

      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.

      Former Drake Guard Atin Wright commits to North Texas

      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.
