Cut Deuce Vaughn and sign Wilson is the move. Zeke still has a role as a goal line back and pass blocker. Vaughn just looks lost.

I am so in before the lock again.

In before the lock. I have nothing of value to provide on this topic.

Still took an L, though.

Unless he was told he no longer had a spot at Tulsa. I think it's been said before but aren't scholarships on a yearly basis now?

I'm also counting week Zero as a win. 5-2 heading into the FAU match-up.

Looked at JJ's Eastfield stats for comparison and he averaged 18.9 ppg in 32 games, hit 20 points or more in 15 games, and scored a game-high of 45 against (Dallas) Richland College. Nothing against this guy as I've never seen him play but I hope this is a PWO. Would be great for him to come in and earn a scholarship like JJ did.

I'm young. Derek Thompson and Andrew McNulty.

I don't see the eventual SEC/BIG10 vs the world thing working out long-term. Sure, USC-Michigan may be fun once in a while but there's no history to support the matchup. There's no regional rivalry. Those college kids aren't a 2 hour drive away to terrorize each other. Eventually, they're going to alienate half the college football fanbase because some of us may watch these games on Saturdays right now because it's football and it's a new match-up but they mean nothing to us long-term either so we won't keep watching them. I don't care to watch an SEC or BIG10 game if it means nothing to the greater landscape of college football. These are not the games football fans want, it's the games networks want. It will fail. An Oregon State fan will never be an Oregon fan. A Texas Tech fan will never be a Texas fan. A Florida State fan will never be a Florida fan. The markets are what they are. They won't change. Not anytime soon at least. Good luck, networks. This is why y'all keep cutting your staff and losing money (especially you, ESPN).

If I'm being completely honest, I don't even really care who turns into commits. I've had a hard time caring about the recruiting cycles in football lately. You get guys, several don't even make it to campus or leave before the fall, and others end up being busts so the hype isn't even worth investing in emotionally. Basketball is more steady, IMO.

And their football program has won 3 bowl games and 2 conference championships in the 7 or 8 seasons since it was brought back. They do a great job with recruiting in both football and basketball and seem to get a lot of support/private funding.

That school has really got athletics figured out.

I need help here. Is this the most accomplished/experienced transfer class we've had in the McCasland/Hodge era(s)? Not asking about how those classes panned out, just the class itself at commitment/signing. I feel we needed to be sold a lot more during other recent recruiting cycles. This is all looking really good.

I don't see it.

Commits to St John's

Been a lot of DL offers going out. Maybe they were encouraged to leave to make room?

All in one day or do you spread it out?

If it wasn't out of the bag before, it is now since you decided to post it on a public forum.

Yeah there's exceptions to the height standard. Just think we need another athletic transfer closer to 6'10".

That's not a bad idea. I don't see it happening though.

On the flip side my dad was mostly committed to unemployment but still bounced around in life... 3 wives, 3 countries. Anyways, I think your reasoning is, well, unreasonable but it's your opinion and you're entitled to it. I hope Massie does well here and in the post-UNT.

Conflicted. He was a good rebounder at the SWAC level but he's 6'7". How will that transfer to the AAC? He could certainly be successful here at that height but I hope we're going after more true bigs.

It's his second. McNeese State for 2 seasons then Longwood now UNT. Do you hate him now?

I do too. There's some on this board who curse the system when we lose players to the portal but all of a sudden they're all excited when we gain somebody from it. If that's not you then carry on.

So we hate the system when we lose players and love it when we gain players. So we're hypocrites.
