Exactly, but he won't come if you tell him he's playing the 4. The reason he left SMU is b/c he wanted to be a wing and just doesn't have the skill to do so.

Look, I love Jalen and Big E, but calling Jalen a 6'7 guard is hysterical. The reality is that he wanted huge minutes at the 3 for SMU, & Brown didn't think he had the skill to transition down from an undersized 4. Jalen is a tremendous energy player, can really board, is quick off the floor and a super competitive kid. That said, he hates every coach he's ever played for, and just doesn't have a guard or small forward skillset. He can't face, is an average shooter, and can't defend the perimeter. By all means, you guys should grab him, cause hes good and would have played alot this year at SMU, just not as much as he wanted, and not in the position he wanted

Not sure this year has much to do w/resume. Brown is just finding the kids that are gonna stay. 4 man '13 class, at least, and 3 transfers on the bench. They look good moving forward, this years start is icing, sorta unexpected

Keith Frazier may not be far behind, Detrick Mostella too.

you don't think Temple was a quality addition to Big East hoops?

He's going to Wichita St. Tried to verbal to Creighton a few weeks back, but he was 3rd in their pecking order for CU's last ship. CU really wants Foster, followed by John Dawson, so just weren't going to take a Thomas verbal at that time. WSU is what's on the table. FWIW, Foster is enamored w/the Big 12, even though stylistically he'd be far better off at Creighton

Great verbal, fellas. I really like Nunn, good hands & touch. Below the rim, but that doesn't matter w/beef. Just going off Benford's more recent players, I'd compare Nunn to Devante Gardner. Skilled but some were scared by grades/conditioning. Turned out great for Marquette. Congrats

Good kid, Was a package w/Gray to MSU. When Gray opted out, they dropped Hardwick. He's not on the same planet as Jones, and isn't better than Trey either, IMO. He's a super nice kid, gets good grades and a nice late Spring signing. Congrats

Smith can really play. He was helpful this year after coming off ACL surgery. No one really understands that cut. Vilde was a shell of the player at SMU, as he was in the NE Prep league. Win some, lose some. Glick, you nervous I know your new coach better than anyone here? I'm the biggest UNT insider now lol.

You guys are quite talented. Like quite a few players on your squad, so hoping you guys get the results you want. How is your recruiting class coming along?

LOL, this thread has turned into greatness. Mangrum is a great kid that gave his all to UNT and felt let down by the experience. It happens. You guys really need to quit the SMU love fest and worry about your '12 class. So far, you guys are the best offer of both your verbals, by far. Maybe you're just recruiting role players, not sure, but I'd be concerned.

I'm not sure you can be any bigger fan of SMU or the program than Mangrum is. Very gracious kid who we really appreciated having. No doubt though, he's definitely turned his back on UNT and isn't really shy about it
