22' James Djonkam - Edge - Independence CC
meangreen11 replied to Caw Caw's topic in UNT Football Recruiting
Yes please. -
He was a key recruiter for Mac but also coached the big men and he made major strides with Ousmane as we saw against Virginia and other teams.

You sort of made an argument against your point with this post and I’ll say why. First, I really question if you are a true fan or not or maybe you are just new to the North Texas scene. If you had been following this program for any amount of time you would recognize that we have seen tremendous growth under McCasland after TB basically ran the program into the ground. The CBI crowds and some of the crowds we have seen this year and years past have been a HUGE improvement over what we have come to expect here. For you to not acknowledge that in your post makes me wonder if you are sincere. That said, for the purposes of setting the record straight for others I will assume you are. The other problem with your statement is that all NCAA attendance is way down, not just at OU but places like Baylor who just won a national championship last year. ADs across the county are trying every promotional tool on the kit but to no avail. Instead of addressing that issue you instead decide to point out attendance at UNT specifically which is not fair since we are one of many, some of which have way more tradition and history than we might offer. There are a several components to this that I would like to point out. The first is in general society today has more entertainment options than ever before and here in DFW this is multiplied by 10. The second is ESPN or more specifically ESPN plus and the others like Stadium and whatnot. For a nominal fee you can watch basically every damn UNT game you want from the comfort of your couch! It’s never been easier to do. So instead of paying expensive gas and dealing with parking and high concessions you can park your lazy ass and drink a six pack of Lone Star whilest watching the Mean Green. Lastly, there’s this little virus called Covid. Yes it’s gotten better thank god but if you are elderly or have other medical issues you sure as hell are going to steer clear of public places in tight quarters such as The Pit or other basketball venues. If you think that is not affecting college sports attendance you are extremely naive.

Any chance Jamiah Simmons can get a medical redshirt?
meangreen11 replied to Jonnyeagle's topic in Mean Green Basketball
Agreed but I believe you can still apply for another one they just get to rule and typically they won’t allow it. Also Covid has made for some grey area. -
Eric Knokol, LT HC, is off to Tulsa?
meangreen11 replied to greenminer's topic in Mean Green Basketball
Interesting as it appears he sees the AAC as a step up from C-USA. -
Likely but he does have another year available. This may be the biggest recruiting challenge Mac has this off season.
-
To my understanding he does due to the free Covid year. The problem is Drez has a apparel business and is a very successful businessman.

Jees these refs are killing bud!

Quad injury. My guess is they will only use him if they need to do as to have him healed for the semis.

Gardner is a beast.

Stone back in

Yes but we will be conference mates and in that vein it would help us both for the both of us to be successful.

Wonder if they have concerns about Tylor being 100 percent?
-
Do you have a link for that?

Don Henley would be neat. Also would like to see Patricia Racette sing the national anthem.
