That's what people say who think they're getting fired.

One piece is missing, but I hope we can sign him by the end of March.

I expect this to be the party line from Rick Villarreal shortly. It would be nice if Vito could get RV to address this, but I'm sure he has no comment and is praying with all his might that Benford can get to 14 wins to justify a 2 year extension. 

Because that's where I see this going.

So, how much eligibility will he have?

He has a year and a half I believe. He will be eligible next spring as a junior. At least from I have seen.

So, Benford didn't think they'd be good the last 4 seasons?  But, NEXT season.... You'll all see!

Fun discussion: next year's roster with Frazier: is it better/worse/same than Benford's first UNT roster?

Assuming Benford is not back next season do you think Cross might be interested? Reese and Deckie as seniors and Combs and Frazier as juniors would be nice to inherit. Throw in Brice, Brown and Lawson and you have plenty of talent.

Benford's first season was the best.

Worse than Benfird's first roster. That roster was a lot deeper.

“I think he will be one of the best players in our league next year,” Benford said in a prepared statement. “You look at the nucleus coming back. [When] you add Keith to that group, we have a chance to be really good next year.”

Was this statement prepared in 2012 and just recycled? Didn't he say the exact same that year about Tony Mitchell and Keith Coleman?
