Indeed!

Huge!

Kentucky football landed a pledge from elite transfer wide receiver Ja’Mori Maclin Wednesday afternoon. There’s no other way to say it, this is a massive move from the Wildcats. Kentucky is getting one of the best receivers in the portal in Maclin, who has spent the past 2 seasons at North Texas. Maclin spent 2 seasons prior to that in the SEC with Mizzou. link: https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/kentucky-football/kentucky-lands-commitment-from-elite-wr-transfer-out-of-north-texas/

He may have to sit out

I tend to believe in him. Some of you on here need to have more faith in this progam and the coaching staff.

We don’t call fellow fans “idiots” on here friend. You need to stand down and chil TF out.

Haven’t seen him announce anything on Facebook yet:

Please don’t blow this!!

Game feed?

HBCU commissioners met with Congressional and White House officials to discuss pending NIL bills that negatively impact HBCUs. HOUSTON — The major historically black colleges and universities (HBCU) athletic conferences are led by commissioners Jacqie McWilliams (CIAA), Sonja Stills (MEAC), Dr. Anthony Holloman (SIAC), and Dr. Charles McClelland (SWAC) — also known as the "4HBAC." The four sports conferences' leaders traveled to Washington, D.C. to engage in critical discussions at the White House and in Congress about pending NIL legislations that could cripple sports programs at HBCUs. Fortunately, prominent figures like Sen. Cory Booker, Sen. Richard Blumenthal, Sen. Maria Cantwell, Rep. Alma Adams, and Rep. Colin Allred, as well as Chiefs of Staff and staffers were willing to listen and take action on behalf of the black college sports leagues and their member institutions. read more: https://www.si.com/college/hbcu/football/hbcu-commissioners-challenge-nil-legislation

This seems reasonable to me. The athletes should be paid. They do the damn work

There are lots of other teams dealing with what we are having to deal with. Maybe we have the most but it is still happening all over the country.

If they start allowing this - I am out!

Great news!

Yeah so what about what the university gave him? Does that not matter to you? We stuck with the guy through thick and thin and helped him through his injuries when other programs would have faltered. I am getting sick and tired of our fans kissing the feet of players who are bailing on us after we gave them a huge opportunity to play D-1 football.

Do you still see this team as having an opportunity to be NCAA tourney good? I mean, I see the potential and they have played some very good teams. They just seem to be coming up short at the end and there has not been a guy to fill the shoes of Tylor. I was hoping for Aron to be that but he is not quite there. I also would really like to see more from Cotton. He looks talented.

Yes I would like to see the University contribute some of their money to this. Why do they get to be scott free of this when they are the ones benefiting from the TV contracts?

I should have been clear. I was also speaking to the Morris NIL which seems to be very quiet.

That is unbelievable. We lost more than any other team in the country. Why is that? Is it because we have the best raw talent here being in DFW?

I would be interested

Light the Tower has been a big disappointment. Putting RV in charge was in hindsight a mistake. Now we’ve farted around and lost our best player. What a mess.

Get to know North Texas The North Texas Mean Green were picked to finish 6th in a mediocre American Athletic Conference. New head coach Ross Hodgehelped the team end last year on a high note with a very successful 31-7 season and an NIT win. North Texas comes in ranked 3rd in the country in scoring defense, allowing just 56.7 points per game (PPG). The high scoring, up-tempo offense that Ross Hodge hoped to install this season hasn’t entirely taken off. They rank just 257th in scoring offense, averaging 70.7 PPG. But the season is young and this is a very talented team that should by no means be overlooked. North Texas is ranked 76th in the highly respected KenPom rankings, whereas Boise State is ranked 84th. The Mean Green are led by senior guard Rubin Jones and junior wing Aaron Scott. Scott leads the team in scoring with 14.3 PPG to go along with four rebounds per game (RPG) and shooting a team high 45% from behind the 3-point arc. Jones is averaging 11 PPG while playing a team high 31 minutes per game. This team wants to play an up tempo, fast break game. The Broncos have had stretches in games in which they become turnover prone. Turnovers lead directly into the game the Mean Green wants to play; let this team get into a rhythm and they will be trouble for most anyone in the country. They also play tenacious defense lead by Jones who has fifteen steals on the year. North Texas comes into Extra Mile Arena on a 3-game winning streak, having recently bested Mississippi Valley State on Saturday, 79-48. They played in the Shriners Charleston Classic Tournament this year, losing to St. John’s and LSU, but both games were hard fought. They lost both games by a combined five points. This team lost some talent in the off-season, which contributed to the lower preseason poll rankings, but they are still a very talented team. read more: https://247sports.com/college/boise-state/article/coming-off-big-victory-broncos-hope-to-keep-momentum-against-the-mean-green-222355341/

Wow never seen so many defections at one time. Very difficult time but hopefully we can add some from the portal to replace as well.
