Harris announced via Twitter he's leaving the team but took it down. I took a screenshot on my phone but it won't let me post it because of its file size

Rebuild time again.....? His instant offense is going to be missed, but this team is in shambles. I still won't miss a game, but it's going to be rough. Probably will listen to the UTA game on the radio and save the drive.

This team is extremely young and has some good young pieces. Our best player is a sophomore so I think we might be okay for the future. UTA is a very good squad though

How do we spin this Pro-Benny?

Dude.

We all know that Harris is the locker room cancer that led to 3 straight losses in the Mean Green Challenged. I mean, if he just had his attitude right, this team would have won 24 games this year.

Don't believe me? Ask RV.

Rebuild, based on a single player?

Obviously you missed "but this team is in shambles" part of the post.  Clearly a general reference and not specific as to one individual.

A problem I see is we have a bunch of individuals who aren't playing as a team. The question is whether Benford can somehow pull it all together.

We need to play better team defense, but we need to let loose on the offensive side of the ball. We seem to back in the swing the ball around the perimeter for 20 seconds and then look to attack even when the paint is clogged mentality. The problem is in college ball they actually play defense and crowd the paint, unlike in the NBA where it is more one on one.  The best way to get around it is to set screens, be constantly moving, and shoot the ball. If it doesn't go in attack the offensive glass and get the ball back.

 

Instead we pass the ball around for ever, take it into the paint, shoot the ball outbid control in hopes of a foul being called (too many are being called this year) and then everyone retreats. It's boring to watch.

That's what coaches do. If Benford fancies himself as a coach, it is time to put up or go away.

To use a cliche, "There ain't no I in TEAM". Whatever Harris is looking for, I hope he finds it. Now don't let the door hit 'ya where the Good Lord split 'ya!

      Is the Portal out of control?

      Come on man, it was no different before. A player at school X usually could not care less about X until they signed to play there. A lot of students didn't care about X until they enrolled, too. And when they didn't like the classes/social scene/town/it was too hard/etc they cared about school Y they moved to not school X anymore.

      How we feeling?

      Guess this is a good time to say online is not real life. I know us on this board are crazy psycho fans but the mean is much closer to “oh cool, playing a bowl game in Dallas? Yeah I’ll go.”

      Defensive assistants

      I have no problem with the assistants. OK, with Cassity sticking by his guys, I hope it doesn't take too much time away from his Portal recruiting.

      Bye Bye Chandler Morris

      While a lot of what you said is true, I'm not convinced about winning over the alumni. Most were never interested in FB, or were fans of bigger schools, and many of the few that were have been lured away by the ESPN Minor League CFB system. We let 30-40+ years of students roll through UNT w/o much of a FB program to embrace. Worse yet, we spent a good portion of that time being a commuter school that was also significantly populated with students majoring in art, music, and elementary school teachers. While there are exceptions, a large majority of those students aren't interested in FB. It's interesting that art and music majors aren't in the below, but maybe many of them never complete their degree or end up with a teaching degree focused in that specialty. I'm kinda' surprised at the legal numbers. Now that we're well over 40k, we're less of a commuter school and the number of students interested in athletics should be getting a larger. However, even if 20k of those were FB fans, as I mentioned above, many of those are T-shirt fans of other big name schools. They'd rather watch SEC FB on a big screen TV in their comfy room with cheap snacks and beer than personally attend a UNT game.
