Yep. I've been associated with UNT since Ja'Quay. Never seen any issues at RB.

We've been blessed at LB in that time as well.

You're part of the same era as me. For fun, I tried to think of all the starting RBs since Ja'Quay and included a few of the star backups, too. Can you remember them? I know this off the top of my head, and there are probably a few holes and mistakes.

That's about right . . . in 2007, it was Mosley/Jamario (Cam Montgomery was injured); in 2008, it was mostly Cam Montgomery; in 2009, it started out being Cam until Lance had his big breakthrough against MTSU.

I was thinking that exact same thing yesterday. We never have trouble finding and developing RB's and LB's. Now QB's and DT's are a different story.

As mentioned, they were running skeleton punt return drills at the beginning of practice. The returners were Chancellor, Harris (#9), Jones (#13) and Wilhite (who is now wearing #21). Believe it or not Chancellor and Harris were almost neck and neck in their returns, but Chancellor was a shade better because he has a little bit better peripheral vision. Jones was about a 1/2 step behind them. Wilhite was about a full step behind the other three. Chancellor and Harris were the most elusive.

I'm told that before spring is over MANY other players will get a shot at doing returns.

Silver, how do you get to watch and get to soak in so much of Spring Practice??

Last year, a buddy of mine and I were riding our bikes around Apogee and just around the area, and took a breather by the practice fields and looked on for a couple of minutes. We were cut short though, because RV literally walked over to us and told us to buzz off/closed practice/etc.

That always irked me the wrong way.

Spring practices are open. Fall practices are not.

Yep. Don't forget Hamilton's contributions behind Dunbar for 2 seasons. And the little battering ram James Mitchell in the early-mid 00's.

The top programs almost never let the good DTs slip through the cracks. I.E. Charles Walker this year going to OU.

Nevertheless I really like the potential of syd Moore coming in and hope a few of these young guys can break through this spring.

Here's the question, does our defensive tackle position get better or worse? We lost Cantly but we gain a healthy Boutwell and several new faces who could all potentially contribute. We'll in the very least be deeper!!

Our run defense wasn't the problem last season so while I would love to have more blue chip talent at dt I can live with the same or better run defense as last year with more production offensively.

I personal hope that a play maker will emerge be it Dutton Watson, Austin Orr, etc... Syd Moore could give the entire unit a boost as well.

do we know if syd moore was able to get his grades well enough to go to a 4 year college?? since he double signed with a JUCO?

That responsibility lies with the kid but also our coaching staff and AD... if we stay on top of that situation it can play out nicely. If we focus on other things it will play out to the juco. You know that there are juco coaches whispering in his ear saying, "hey don't worry about your grades you will get a fresh academic start here..." I don't think Mac and company would have signed the kid if they didn't think they had a fair chance to land him. Time will tell.

      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.
