Enough with the high school helmets

on a side note here is my tweet to him and his response. Glad he and his team take initiative.

Good responsiveness by Jared.

Enough with the design on one side if the helmet and the number on the other. The Texas is not distinguishable and it's too dark. Just go with the SoW.

Folks this is a big deal, this will bring in tens of millions a year in new funding.

UNT was already very much on its way to being a more and more respectable research university. Smatresk achieved quite a lot in that regard. This will do a lot to help UNT, Tech UH and TSU close the gap to A&M and UT. I doubt Baylor, TCU and SMU are thrilled though.

I guess I am wondering why Tech and UH get 2/3 of the funds and we have to split our 1/3 with Texas State…

The fact is we've played the most difficult conference schedule and it's probably not even close. That being said, if we don't beat Tulsa and UAB, we will have earned our spot in the bottom third of the conference.

The distributions relate to current research expenditures. When we hit a certain threshold for two consecutive years, our allocation basically doubles. Tech and UH have already met that threshold and we are potentially close to do so.

Connor Smith tweeted out that they spoke to campus folks and it won’t happen again

Just to clear: Tylor Perry = clutch Tyler Perry = Madea

Looks like Coach Jason landed some good ones! UNT Women’s Basketball head coach Jason Burton and his staff announced the signing of three in-state guards during the early signing period on Wednesday. The class contains two high school signees, Gwendlyn McGrew and Chania Price, and junior college All-American, Mackenzie Buss. “We are getting two really good players with our high school recruits and with Mackenzie we are getting a ready-made point guard that can play right away,” Burton said. “We are extremely excited about this class and I thought we knocked it out of the park being able to add quality depth to our backcourt.” Mackenzie Buss I 5-4 I Guard I Collin College/Lake Dallas High School A junior college signee, Mackenzie Buss played and started in 30 games during the 2022-23 season as a true freshman. She was named an NJCAA Honorable Mention All-American and a first-team all-conference member. While averaging 12.5 points per game and converting on 39.7% of her 3-point attempts, she helped lead the Lady Cougars to a school record 29 wins and their first at-large bid to the NJCAA National Basketball Tournament. Following the season, Buss was invited to the 2023 Juco Top 40 Event that features the top 40 junior college freshman in the country. Three games into her sophomore season, Buss is averaging 14.3 points, 6.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game. Throughout her career at Collin College, she has shown a willingness to rebound from the point guard position highlighted by recording a double-double with 11 points and 11 rebounds in the second game of her career against Paris Junior College. Buss, a product of Lake Dallas High School, was a two-time Denton Record-Chronicle All-Area selection and led Lake Dallas to an appearance in the regional finals as a senior. Quoting UNT head coach Jason Burton: “We thought it was important to bring in a point guard knowing we are losing Dyani Robinson after the season and we want to continue have experience and depth at that position. It was important for us to get someone who can play fast and that is something Mackenzie does. She was a JUCO All-American her first year and led Collin to one of the best seasons in school history, and then she is a hometown product from right up the road in Lake Dallas. To be able to get somebody who is dynamic like her, that is a three-level scorer and can play at the tempo we want to play and defend on or off the ball, we are extremely excited.” Quoting Collin College head coach Jeff Allen: “We are very excited that Mackenzie has signed with UNT. I have known coach Burton for a long time, and I think it is a great fit. She puts in a lot of hard work and I truly believe she is one of the best junior college point guards in the country.” Gwendlyn McGrew I 6-0 I Guard I Pasadena Memorial High School A lengthy guard from Pasadena, Texas, Gwendlyn McGrew is one of the best players in the state. Ranked as the No. 14 recruit in Texas by Premier Basketball, McGrew is a college-ready signee capable of playing anywhere from point guard to power forward. As a freshman, she received a plethora of accolades that included being named a first-team all-district selection and the district’s Newcomer of the Year. Following an injury that caused her to miss most of her junior season, McGrew is set to lead Pasadena Memorial this season and is on pace to surpass 1,000 points in her career. Quoting UNT head coach Jason Burton: “I think we’re bringing in the best shooter in the state of Texas in her class. Gwen stays in the gym. She is a gym rat. She is 6-foot and can play multiple positions. What is so great about her is we can play her one through four. She is probably more of a big guard for us, but she has the ability to go up to the four. We’re losing DesiRay Kernal, who is such a versatile player, and I think we’re getting that versatility and more in Gwen because she can play the point guard position. I think we’re getting a steal because prior to her injury in high school she was one of the highest-ranked players in Texas and is still ranked No. 14 in the class right now. She is somebody that is a ready to go freshman right away and she will be an impact for us because of her versatility and her ability to score.” Quoting Pasadena Memorial head coach Jennifer Azul: “Gwendlyn McGrew is not just an exceptional basketball player, but also an inspiring individual. Her hard work and determination have not only brought success to our team but also have inspired us all. The imprint Gwendlyn leaves at Pasadena Memorial is profound and lasting. Her talent and leadership have not only elevated our basketball program but have also left an indelible mark on our school’s sports legacy. Her impact will be felt for years to come, and we are fortunate to have had her as part of our school’s athletic community. Gwendlyn isn’t just a remarkable basketball player; she’s like family to us. Her dedication to the game is like no other I’ve seen and she brings a special kind of energy to our community. We’re fortunate to have her as part of our basketball family, and we can’t wait to see her continue to light up the court with her talent and passion.” Chania Price I 6-0 I Guard I Fort Worth Brewer High School Chania Price is a local product hailing from Fort Worth, Texas, where she plays for coach Teranie Lewis at Brewer High School. A versatile and lengthy athlete who excels on both ends of the floor, Price is tabbed the No. 53 recruit in Texas by Premier Basketball. She was a first-team all-district selection as a junior, while leading the Lady Bears to a district championship and an appearance in the regional quarterfinals. Quoting UNT head coach Jason Burton: “It was important with this class to bring in people that not only fit our culture on the court but also off of it. Chania is a person that will bring us length and versatility. She can play multiple positions and will fit into what we want to do on both the offensive end and defensive end. She is also someone with elite character, excels in the classroom and is committed to being the very best version of herself. She will be a valuable addition and a culture carrier for our program.” Quoting Fort Worth Brewer head coach Teranie Lewis: “I am so proud of Chania and her commitment to the University of North Texas women’s basketball program. I am looking forward to watching her excel in her college career. It has been a pleasure to coach Chania and be a witness to her accomplishments. She is such a joy to be around and she will bring amazing things to the program.”

I hope you are doing well and have many more seasons with us here on GMG.

which is 100% normal.

He won't be fired.

Not really an uniform guy, but prefer NT stick to their actual colors, green and white. No gray under any circumstances.

The Phil Bennett that led last year’s defense, which had a lot more talent, to a bottom 10 ranking and gave up 460 yds/game and 31.5 points?

I'd like to know the outcome of any disputes. Last year I brought 12 with me as the only UNT connection to a game in 3 different cars. I'd hate for family/friends to go to a game only for them to get parking tickets. If I get a BS ticket for messing up, I'll figure it out but I can't invite people and have them drive away with a ticket. This is not the way to grow a program.

I woke up today and thought, “You know what would be really cool? Another thread about Caponi or this defense.”

This will help us and the other elite Texas "R1: Doctoral Universities – Very high research activity" schools to further distance ourselves from the lower class "R2: Research 2 Doctoral Universities – High research activity" .

It is wild how different of a university academically we are from when I started in 06. Our football program on the other hand.....

The Texas on the helmet would be much better if it were green instead of black.

We will be 4 or 5. May be sitting with the Tulsa faithful, if the free tickets come through. See you there. GMG

Edwards only played the final 30 seconds of OT…The rotation of 8 through 2 halves dwindled down to 5 in OT. 🤔🤔🤔

Me and at least one more. I believe Section 107 has the cheapest tickets on our side (only $17 after fees) so that's what we'll aim for. For people who do go, and are driving up Friday night, I highly encourage you to take the opportunity to support the volleyball team as well! They are playing at SMU Friday night at 7pm - SMU volleyball games are free.

Be careful posting true facts around here. Some people don't want reality interfering with our program.

Yeah, I don't relate. He's super loveable but takes 2-3 seasons to get his system going. We can do better. Plus, I feel like he was compelled to help last season because of his relationship with SL. Not sure we have that bridge anymore.

I love the Mean Green, but rules are rules and there has to be SOME limitation on transfers for the sake of the product. I hope the NCAA upholds this ruling and all others like it.

What about the TCU DC? Rumor is Sonny will fire him and he may need a landing spot.

JC man we are trying to build something and these parking nazi's don't give 2 craps about it. Jarrad needs to know about this.

I hope we will be able to get some extended playing time for our bench guys to see what they have. I was hoping Morgan would take the next step and be able to give us some minutes against bigger front lines. He sure looks the part. Also, would like to see Moore some. He impressed me in the few minutes he got last year. Not sure what to think about our other JC transfer Terrance Johnson and the freshman Cotton. They may be projects and need time to develop. Last night looked a lot like last year. We have a set rotation in the first half, but it is only 8 players. I don't think Stone saw the floor in the second half, so we played with 7. Allen was playing great, so Sissoko didn't play in OT. Thought we looked gassed at the end of regulation. I think playing faster on offense is going to require more than 8 in the rotation, but I trust in Hodge! Go Mean Green!

They can only ethically enforce that if they first revise the parking directions on all the university web sites.

In trying times like these, I turn to the wise words of MATTHEW 28:18-20 from the MOP* translation of the good book: And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth and on YouTube. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations that reject AdBlock, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to like, comment, subscribe, and observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world, so long as you don't use the DuckDuckGo browser. * - Monetized Online Preacher

Looks like the campus preacher finally made an account

I'm in... Where to park?

Because some of us like to support the program instead of shitting on it like you do.

Harsh but true words:

Quinn Ewers once got a parking ticket at the UT Stadium during a game while he was playing quarterback. I blame Neal Smatresk for this UNT basketball ticket fiasco. Jared Mosley doesn’t control the meter maids.

The car right next to me got a citation but I didn’t. I don’t know if they could somehow tell I was a season ticket holder or if the meter maid just ran out of tickets.

As mentioned above, this is his third year. Curious what his defensive rankings were in year one and two.

This is great, i'm excited to hear that we will be able to lower tuition for all of our students!

I got one too. I was also parked in j5f8k's red circle.

Yeah I read their Campus parking policy PDF, and there's literally nothing about game day parking for basketball games, only football game day parking https://transportation.unt.edu/_resources/images/2023_2024_rules_and_regulations.pdf

I got one smack dab in the middle of lot 20. Parked somewhere around here. Im going to call the parking office today and see if I can get it appealed, because I thought basketball parking was free.
