For clarification purposes, Zach Simmons committed to UNT's prior coaching staff while Hodge/McCasland were still at Arkansas St. They did conduct a home visit after they arrived to convince him to stay.

It wouldn't hurt my feelings if we don't sign another high schooler in this class

I like 4 of the 5 recruits. The other one is a wasted scholarship. In fact, the worst signee I think we have ever had. Sorry, just my opinion.

Kevin Henry-Jennings: South Oak Cliff QB
Cooley replied to UNTLifer's topic in UNT Football Recruiting
According to 24/7, Farrar committed to UNT on April 5, 2021 (offered on March 31, 2021) Still at Skyline High SMU offered Jennings on December 8, 2021 Preston Stone signed on Dec. 16, 2020 and enrolled on Jan. 21, 2021. Dallas Morning News Rhett Lashlee didn’t have any previous knowledge of Henry-Jennings when he was hired as the next head coach at SMU. In fact, when he and some other SMU coaches went to the regional final against Lovejoy on Dec. 4, they were there to look at other players. After the first quarter, Henry-Jennings had caught his attention. What stood out to Lashlee the most wasn’t Henry-Jennings’ athleticism — though he has plenty of it — but the way he threw the ball. Like NFL receivers at Robinson’s camp saw before the season, Lashlee saw someone who could make every throw, and do it with accurate touch. Henry-Jennings completed 18 of 25 passes for 250 yards and a touchdown. He also ran for two touchdowns, leading South Oak Cliff to the state semifinals for the first time since 1970. “All those things, seeing it in person, we just walked away thinking it made sense,” Lashlee said. Lashlee hopped on a FaceTime four days later and offered Henry-Jennings a scholarship. He visited SMU that weekend, committed on a Sunday and then signed with the Mustangs on Wednesday. -
Kevin Henry-Jennings: South Oak Cliff QB

He was only recruited as a reserve; mainly to get in on the SOC/Dallas pipeline. (15 minutes away). Their guy was 4-Star QB Preston Stone of Parish Episcopal. Stone was injured and hasn't performed up to expectations. Jennings exceeded expectations. Not great but effective. -
New Commit....Cahmai Crosby, combo guard......Kilgore JC
Cooley replied to SUMG's topic in UNT Basketball Recruiting
Well, not a lot to go on other than the attached video on Crosby. Haven't found an entire game yet. This staff has done a great job with juco pickups over the years, so I can't question this one. Curious why the lack of quality offers though. The Thomas signing is ok considering he just started his senior season in high school. He looks a legit 6-7 with a very good body build. He could develop his game more but he is not the "great" recruit as advertised. I have subscribed to NFHS for a number of years now and recently saw his playoff game against Plano East last year. He's an above average HS center (presently) on a loaded Allen team. I'm sure we signed him to play the 4 as he does not have a perimeter game. Wish we had signed DJ Hall of Plano East who is better. Kid signed with Texas State as their highest recruit ever. Never saw any UNT offers. -

Cooley replied to SUMG's topic in UNT Basketball Recruiting
My bad. I think I goggled the date and got a previous year. Still somewhat puzzled about a verbal commitment during the live early signing period. Maybe he has been committed for sometime but we just learned of it. On another note, a year late for the Dallas Wings to get the #1 pick (Caitlin Clark). I'm happy about Page Bueckers though. -

Why did he not sign, or did he? The early signing period just ended Friday. -

Why is the big white kid not playing?
Cooley replied to Dannymacfan's topic in Mean Green Basketball
Maybe we can see him in against McNeese St next week. -

Looks good on tape -
Congrats to all! I wasn't able to view or listen to the game but read that Minnesota had 3 guys out. Were they starters, reserves or both?

Memphis's Tyreek Smith Hits Portal Hours Before Opener
Cooley replied to Mean Green 93-98's topic in Mean Green Basketball
I agree with your agreement but again, we just signed 3 guys with 1 year of eligibility left. Times have changed. Some school(s) will jump on him feeling that he hasn't been convicted of any rapes, 34 felony counts or incited any riots; where folks were killed. Fans won't care about his character if he can help a school win. -
Didn't say they committed a bunch of turnovers but they looked very shaky to me with the ball. Just the first game so we'll see against better opponents.
-
The thing that stood out to me is the lack of a good point guard. When pressured, all these guys were shaky. Where was the freshman center Baron Smith?

Memphis's Tyreek Smith Hits Portal Hours Before Opener
Cooley replied to Mean Green 93-98's topic in Mean Green Basketball
I'd take him from a talent standpoint in a heart beat. He's from Baton Rouge but attended Trinity Christian Academy (Cedar Hill) where he lead them to their private school's state championship. I really wanted him at UNT but he signed with Texas A&M. We are starting to bring in a number of 1 year players as well, so why not. Great rebounder and shot blocker at 6-9. Don't really think there would be mutual interest though. -
