While I'd be the 1st to want him in a Mean Green uni , you have to wonder what's going on in the head of that young man as he will going on his 4th year with his 4th different college

FORMER PLAYER BLOWING UP THE RECRUITING SCENE It's really too bad when you look back on it, but one of the best players to ever suit up for the Mean Green -- at least in practice -- is blowing up on the recruiting scene. Yes, I am talking about Roderick Flemings. For those of you new to UNT hoops, Flemings was one of the top recruits in the country when he played for DeSoto, committed to Oklahoma State, left the program after a short time and transferred to UNT. Flemings didn't meet academic standards and ended up at Weatherford JC. He averaged 20.7 points and 11.7 rebounds a game and, perhaps most importantly, shot 34.9 percent from 3-point range last season. The knock on the 6-7 forward as a player was that he would have to learn to play on the perimeter in college. Shooting 35 percent from the arc isn't all that great, but it shows that Flemings is improving. The big boys of college hoops have noticed. According to Rivals.com, UConn, Georgetown, Kentucky, West Virginia and Arkansas have all offered Flemings a scholarship and another chance. It was tough to see Flemings go, but you have to give UNT head coach Johnny Jones credit for sticking to his principles. Players at UNT keep up their end of the bargain academically and nearly all of them graduate by the time they are done with their careers. Even if they don't graduate, they are on track to in short order. Flemings didn't hold up his end of the bargain, but appears as if he will get another chance with one of the top programs in the country after leaving Weatherford. He has already set up a visit to UConn. It's too bad. I am sure a lot of UNT fans will wonder what could have been if Flemings had made the grade. Post your thoughts on the blog. Just how good would UNT have been with Flemings in the lineup last season? Posted by Brett Vito at 3:06 PM | Permalink

Didn't it have like a 60ft wall or something ? Remember seeing that on sportscenter

For you Rangers fans. Not a fan by any means , but I still attend games for the love of the sport. Until there is a new ownership and gm this team will NEVER go anywhere.. GO CuBs!!!

That list is composed of players currently enrolled at the school , you will not find any incoming freshman or some of the JC transfers on that list

Just because he's white doesn't mean he lacks blazing speed. He's one of the fastest players on the squad Has Cam done any recieving out of the backfield in practice or the scrimmage ? MM showed good hands last year and could be a very good 3rd down back

Does that mean he would have to drop all the way out of the 1st round ?

LaTeRaL MoVe at BesT (from just a purely basketball standpoint) I guess TCU offered more $$$ CBL , thanKs for the BinGo mention , havent heard that name in awhile , brought back a lot of memories battling with him at the YMCA gym in Wichita Falls

KANSAS STATE TEAM REPORT from Yahoo Sports The Kansas State program appears to be in turmoil. After losing the last four games of 2007 by a combined total of 86 points, the Wildcats lost 11 starters and three assistant coaches while signing 19 junior-college transfers in an act of desperation. Attempting to get a read on what Kansas State wants to accomplish during spring practice is difficult, since the majority of the junior-college transfers have not yet arrived and new assistants are learning their responsibilities. It appears third-year coach Ron Prince is in over his head, which a few astute observers wondered when the little-known assistant from Virginia was plucked to replace Bill Snyder, despite no ties to Kansas State. Although the Wildcats get up for some games, their inconsistency was marred even more by the dismal finish last season, which kept Kansas State from qualifying for a bowl after it went 5-7 overall and 3-5 in the Big 12. Offensively, the Wildcats return quarterback Josh Freeman, who threw for a school-record 3,353 yards last season. But his main target, All-America receiver Jordy Nelson, is gone. That could require more diversity in the Kansas State attack. Defensively, Ian Campbell will move back to end after a dreadful move to outside linebacker left him schemed out of plays by opponents last season. Judgment concerning any newcomers, and what impact they provide, must be reserved for fall camp, when Kansas State begins anew with several additional transfers. There will be little time to develop those players, and the turnover on the coaching staff only complicates matters. Notes, Quotes Spring Objectives: The development of the offensive line is essential if QB Josh Freeman is going to realize his potential. Freeman has played behind a spotty line each of his first two seasons. The play of the line will also determine what success Kansas State can build on the ground. RB James Patton is the only proven rusher returning, although four freshmen redshirted last season and could provide depth. Defensively, the Wildcats return proven players within every position group, though the breakdowns they suffered late last season were staggering. Building Blocks: For better or worse, Freeman became the face of the program when he was anointed as a freshman starter at quarterback during the 2006 Big 12 schedule. As a junior, Freeman needs to exert leadership and also develop better command of the game and more accuracy on his throws. DE Ian Campbell is a playmaker who can help Kansas State regain some swagger on defense. The Wildcats recorded 30 sacks last season, but their aggressive style contributes to defenders being out of position. Schedule Situation: Two difficult tests await in the non-conference slate, with Kansas State playing at home against Fresno State before traveling to Louisville. Attempts are being made to replace Fresno State with a FCS opponent. Future series have been arranged with UCLA, Miami, Oregon and Virginia Tech, a distinct change from the Bill Snyder era, when Kansas State was content to play mostly patsies before opening league play. The new approach would be better if third-year coach Ron Prince could field teams as good as Snyder's. Quote To Note: "A lot of the things that we've done from a recruiting standpoint, evaluation standpoint, strategy, tactics to get the player have all been so we can have a fast, strong, tough, disciplined team."—Kansas State coach Ron Prince. Strategy And Personnel Stars Of 2008: SS Gary Chandler—Named the Big 12 defensive newcomer of the year last season, Chandler began growing comfortable late in the season and finished with 54 tackles. He is a hard hitter. DE Ian Campbell—Numbers dropped last season after he recorded 17 1/2 tackles for loss and 11 1/2 sacks in 2006, but a move back to defensive end should enable Campbell to regain his playmaking edge. C Jordan Bedore—Considered the Wildcats' top lineman, Bedore missed the last seven games in 2007 with an injury, and his loss devastated the Kansas State front. Top Newcomers: WR Adrian Hilburn—Junior-college transfer will get an early chance to make an impression by participating in spring drills. Hilburn caught 40 passes for 516 yards last season. OT Wade Weibert—Another junior-college transfer who will get looks in the spring, Weibert begins what is often a tough transition for linemen as they begin playing at the Division I level. LB Olu Hall—Confined to the scout team last fall after transferring from Virginia, Hall could make an impact if the 6-3, 232-pound sophomore carries his practice strengths into games. WR Aubrey Quarles—A broken collarbone limited Quarles to just four games at Santa Rosa J.C. last season, but he appears to be a speedy deep threat who can also return kicks. Roster Report: • A suit was filed Feb. 21 in Riley County District Court by Executive Sports Management on behalf of one of its agents, who claims Kansas State coach Ron Prince reneged on $67,500 in payments. • Another suit, filed Feb. 26 by the Kansas State athletic department, claims that former assistant Raheem Morris owes $106,646 for breach of contract stemming from his 2007 resignation. Morris is now defensive backs coach for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. • LB Chris Patterson suffered a cut hand during an altercation outside a Manhattan bar involving former RB James Johnson, who was stabbed five times.

RALEIGH, N.C. -- It's a free-for-all at Davidson College. Thanks to the deep pockets of the school's Board of Trustees, nearly 300 students will travel to Detroit to watch their beloved men's basketball team continue its surprising run in the NCAA tournament Friday night. Students are getting bus transportation, two nights lodging and a ticket to see Davidson play Wisconsin in the Midwest Regional -- all for free. Trustees pledged Wednesday to pay for any student. Within a day, 275 students -- nearly 20 percent of the student body -- had signed up. That sent officials at the small liberal-arts college, located about 20 miles north of Charlotte and about 650 miles south of Detroit, scrambling. "The response was tremendous and frankly, surprisingly large," school spokeswoman Stacey Schmeidel said Thursday. "We actually have a lot more students who want to go, but we're trying to find more buses." Behind sophomore sensation Stephen Curry, Davidson upset Gonzaga and Georgetown last week for the school's first NCAA tournament wins in 39 years. Curry, the son of NBA sharpshooter Dell Curry, has led the Wildcats to a 28-6 season they hope to extend Friday. Curry hit eight of 10 3-pointers and scored 40 points in Davidson's upset of Gonzaga in the first round of the NCAA's Midwest Regional. Two days later, Curry scored 30 points to send Davidson past Georgetown and into the Sweet 16 for the first time in almost four decades. When students learned they could witness Curry and the Wildcats in person, they jumped, even though the seven buses pull out at 5 a.m. for the 11-hour trip. Davidson coach Bob McKillop credited the enthusiasm not only to the Wildcats' success but to the size and atmosphere of Davidson, a private school with about 1,700 students. "The sense of intimacy that exists on our campus is unparalleled in NCAA Division I basketball," McKillop said Thursday as he and the team prepared in Detroit. "But when the Board of Trustees votes in a meeting on Thursday to go into their personal pockets and put out the money so that every student can go to this game with a free bus ride, free hotel room, and free game ticket, that reaches a level that's unprecedented. "I'm stunned by it, thrilled by it." Copyright 2008 by The Associated Press

I know this is basketball related , but WICHITA STATE is on every single recruit we've been after for the past few years I can only hope if UNT does acquire the Raddison land that another entrance would be added off the frontage road , that place is brutal with traffic

Is the woman in your pic involved in your Entertainment company ??

Thank GOD , we are running low on Bowls.

Just FYI , Craig Ranch is at the intersection of 121 and Alma road on the north side of 121. From Denton , ( the fastest , less traffic way ) go east on HWY 380 , take a right on Custer road , then a left on Stacy ( FM 720) in front of the new Walgreen's. Alma is about a mile and half down the road , take a right and you will run into the soccer fields at Craig Ranch

Vanderbilt, MTSU to renew football series, starting in 2015 Vanderbilt and Middle Tennessee have reached agreement on a four-game home and away football series starting in 2015.
