Anyone have any idea who all was in the building? I know Ty'rick Bennett was, along with a kid from Wichita falls, and a kid from Rowlett.

I met the father of our 7ft recruit last night at the PVAM game. He was with Ken Lyons and Ken actually introduced me to him. Seems like a nice guy and had some very interesting things to say regarding his son's recruiting by some pretty decent schools including Okie State, George Mason, etc. and why he commuted to play for the Mean Green.

His comment about the PVAM game was "we need more people in here". I started to tell him not to worry as we have a lot of folks supporting the players from afar and how much that means to the program and players. But, decided not to go there...just said I definitely agreed.

PM me if you want to know what he said about the decision to go with UNT. No need to expand upon that here. I am looking forward to seeing his son play with Jeremy Combs and J'Mycel.

So there is something Mr. Brice, you, and I agree on. This program had some great (and growing) attendance about three years ago. It will be nice when we get back to having almost 7K in the Pit for a conference game. My guess is it won't be until Brice's junior or senior year.The fanbase is out there, just have to give them a reason to come back. I hope Rickey can help give those fans some reasons to come back.

. He was with Ken Lyons and Ken actually introduced me to him.

I can't help wonder what the connection is between Lyons and a recruit/commit. I'm just going to assume this is okay. Maybe Lyons likes to meet all the recruits or their parents?

Email the coaching staff about him.

They invited him to the game, but he felt more love and contact from creighton staff, and sat behind their bench.

      ‘26 S Ricky Giles - SOC

      It's never my intent to beat up on a kid publicly. I'd rather read both the pro's and con's of a kid; instead of the usual "superlatives" only of a recruit. (Funny how we never see a bad Hudl) In fact, I generally discount about 25% of what I read about our recruit(s); depending on source. I'm a little more familiar with Giles having followed his HS career at SOC. Purdue came by the school last year and offered damn near the whole defense when Ricky was a soph. (About 10 mid-high majors came by this week) As you may be aware, schools are reneging more and more on high school kids that they may have offered early. Not saying that they may have pulled their offer but I would not be surprised. Purdue has brought in 3 safeties during this portal period. (lost 2) with a total 31 transferring in. Many of the top P4 programs generally don't lose this many. The movement of kids up and/down in the portal just proves to me that there isn't much difference (P4 vs P5) in talent outside of the top 20-30% of the roster. I'm ok with Giles but like to see more urgency to win now with portal kids than high school kids. (Unless they are "Elite)

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      Baseball would be more than another sport. It is a spectator/revenue sport, unlike track, tennis, swimming and golf. We need something in the spring, more than softball, to engage fans back to campus. Fans are becoming more detached from actually attending sporting events at the school = less interest = less donations. If we're not going to market better for football and basketball at least have another sport in spring to lure fans to come back.

      I hate how long instant replay takes in all sports that use it. Instead of waiting for certainty before making a call, they should look at replays for a set amount of time. When that time runs out, treat it as "the call stands."

      And you followed that up with back-to-back losing seasons and are a hair above .500 this season. We followed it up with a 31 win season, a 19 win season, and are well on the way to another winning season. I respect what y'alls football program has accomplished recently but your basketball program has been sputtering in neutral. Much like our football program. I wouldn't call your basketball a strength right now.
