Love and respect this kids attitude! If Wesley and Combs can come in and perform we might have a decent 3 player freshman class. Here is hoping grades are made, attitudes are in check, and heads are squarely on their shoulders.

I like the chip on his shoulder, but I wish we were actually winning recruiting battles.

-Insert joke about number two should be reserve for the coach-

When aske why he chose North Texas his reply was because my uncle told me that we get a chance to play against the Guards and meet Burt Reynolds.

Has a sort of josh white feeling. These are the recruits we need! Not focusing on the over hyped Dallas area.

Sounds like he has a bit of a chip on his shoulder. Hope he can channel that to his, and our, benefit.

[CMJ]

I like the hat they chose.

Over hyped Dallas area? Right.

Seriously? The same "over-hyped" dallas area that produced our top 4 scorers from last year and top 5 from the year before. Same over-hyped dallas area that we were told Benford was hired in part due to his ability to recruit there.

Same over-hyped dallas area that Benford has focused on but still is yet to land a guard from. And now that he finally lands a high school guard, because he's from from Louisiana (with just 1 other offer from University of New Orleans) we can now call the Dallas area over-hyped.

[UNT90]

Isn't New Orleans D2 now?

I am not saying that great players do not come from Dallas... But just because you play in the DFW area does not mean you have a leg up on other player who comes for a smaller town in Texas or another state. And I thought at least a few people have been calling the Dallas area overhyped for years. Edited May 18, 2014 by Andrew

It's the strong recruiting presence in the DFW that was supposed to give Benny a leg up on other candidates. That's the dissapoontment.

Only if the Southland got demoted.
