Excited but it won’t be for long sadly because of NIL.

They need to take those pics down. They had a terrible turnout.

Sad outcome

He did not paste in its entirety to my recollection.

They need to advertise better. Noone even knew about it.

This was the right thing.

I think he said there were some not all. That is part of the issue, each side takes everything anyone says the worst way. I think that happens on both sides. I think we have a lot more in common than people realize. The far left and right want us to battle all the time it seems to me. I am moderate.

That's part of why you hear Denton is the new Austin or whatnot.

DENTON – One of the state's best rebounding prep standouts Baron Smith Jr. has signed a National Letter of Intent to play for the UNT men's basketball team. The consensus three-star 6-foot-9 forward led all of Texas high school 6A boys basketball in rebounding in each of the last two seasons. He set the Haltom High School record for career rebounds (855), single season rebounds (353) and single-game rebounds (26). This past year he averaged 13 points and 11 rebounds per game for Haltom who won 21 games and made a seven-win improvement from the year prior behind Smith's growth. He was named first team all-district after this season. The Haltom City native posted 10 or more rebounds in 20 games last year including the program record 26 versus Lake Country Christian (Fort Worth) in a 14-point win on Dec. 12. Smith was an efficient scorer too as he shot nearly 60 percent from the floor as a senior at Haltom and stretched the floor occasionally as he hit 10 3-pointers over the 33-game schedule. He averaged better than a block per game and had four versus A&M Consolidated High School (College Station, Texas) in a 24-point win. A three-year letterwinner at Haltom High School, he averaged 10.0 points per game and 9.4 rebounds per game over his three seasons with the Buffalos. Smith, who was rated as a top 30 player in the state of Texas by 247 Sports, chose the Mean Green over American Athletic Conference foe East Carolina, Utah State, San Jose State and others. With the addition of Smith, North Texas will have the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex's leading prep rebounder and scorer from last season on its 2024-25 roster. Smith joins fellow incoming freshman Tyran Mason from Plano High School who led the entire DFW area last year in points per game (25.3) and signed with UNT last November. For more information on UNT men's basketball tickets, contact the Mean Green Ticket Office at 940-565-2527 or at ticketoffice@unt.edu. Fans can visit the UNT Athletics Ticket Office located at Gate 2 of DATCU Stadium between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

The Minnesota Golden Gophers men's basketball team will reportedly play non-conference games against North Texas University and the University of Nebraska Omaha this season. College hoops source Made for March said the Gophers will host Omaha on Nov. 9 and North Texas on Nov. 13. Both are buy-in games, with Omaha as a $100,000 guarantee and North Texas an $85,000 guarantee. North Texas went 19-15 overall last season and beat LSU in the first round of the NIT tournament before losing in the next round to Seton Hall, who ended up winning it all. The Mean Green won the 2023 NIT tournament, defeating UAB in the title game. North Texas has also made some March Madness noise in the past, most recently in 2021 when they upset then-No. 4 seeded Purdue as a No. 13 seed in the NCAA tournament.

he president serves as the CEO of the university, and oversees university administration and operations. The role is appointed by the UNT System board of regents, and the president reports to the UNT System Chancellor. The president also sets the institution’s vision and strategic objectives by enhancing the university’s academic excellence, strengthening its portfolio of research and scholarship, and fostering the university’s student-focused identity, the release states. The search for the university system’s president was completed through the UNT Presidential Search Advisory Committee. The group was led by Laura Wright, chair of the UNT System board of regents, with Chancellor Michael Williams serving as vice chair. Its members included representatives from the board of regents as well as university faculty, staff, students, administrators and alumni. “Dr. Keller is a leader who will build strategic partnerships, recruit world-class talent, and advance UNT’s role in meeting the demands of our region, state and nation,” Wright said in the release. “I am certain he will advance the university while remaining committed to student success, academic excellence and growing our presence as a Tier One research university.” Link: https://communityimpact.com/dallas-fort-worth/frisco/education/2024/07/10/harrison-keller-named-next-president-of-the-university-of-north-texas/

I guess I am questioning the level or amount of support and funding we are giving to the various programs. The neighborhood we reside in has changed. We need to address how we financially support the various programs in this new world order is all I am saying.

Then I feel like you can sort of get behind it. I am not saying that you have to like the system, but I think if we accept who we are and what we are it gets easier. At least for me. Gone are the days where I thought we had a chance at moving into a P5 conference. I just don't see that happening now. I do think we can still have some fun albeit playing in a lower level. In high school, in my freshman year we had two football squads, the "A" team and the "B" team. I was on the B team but got to play the position I wanted and had more fun than I would have sitting the bench on the A team.

Yes but he had a lot of injuries!

So we’re never gonna dance again?

Great idea!

Why can’t we just do a separate league like the LIV did with golf though? Seems like breaking off and refusing to play the power schools makes sense.

Dunno they sort of suck now.

Great news JTM! I was concerned about depth.

I think if Morris can stay healthy he is the most important addition by far. I worry terribly about his backup though as Stone Earle leaving hurts badly. I feel they did the best they could with the oline having lost their very best player. D-Line is a hodge podge of guys who have potential but did not live up to it at another address. It does appear they are slowly moving away from the smaller, faster players on defense that Bennett coveted. I think the secondary could surprise some people. There is some talent there.
