[Cooley]

So, is he eligible to play the 17-18 season or will he be in the next class?  Appears to be this class, so who is gone now?

Wow @Cooley does it again!  Welcome Rashawn!

[BillySee58]

Wow. Interesting pickup. Not much on him online, but looks like he averaged 13 points/game, 10 rebounds/game, 41% on threes at 4 attempts/game (good quality and quantity), and 1.7 steals/game. At 6'6" it sounds like he can play 2-4

Also freshmen of year.   Still not clear whether if he is committing for this year or after his second year at junior college.

Appears to be for next year

So we have no scholarships for next year correct? Only Temara is graduating right?

@AndrewVito is going to have some info on this shortly so stay tuned.

[Harry]

Looks like he will play another year in the juco and then join UNT.

Correct. Provided that all 12 of our scholarship players with eligibility left stay on the roster for the 2018-2019 season.

What about other offers?

Northern Texas?  That's some mighty fine prep work Troy.

McCasland must be a terrible recruiter too.

Below is the number 1 2018 JUCO recruit in the country per 247, and the only 2018 JUCO recruit rated by 247 for the class.

He only has one offer. JUCOs in basketball typically don't start getting offered until the season starts and after. It's not like 2018 high school football recruits where they are at the point where offers are pretty much done coming out across the country until new game footage comes out.

Also, Mccasland and his staff have shown solid recruiting ability in a short period here, and showed it at Arkansas State.

[GrandGreen]

This player looks like a very solid recruit with a lot of upside.  The scholarship numbers are somewhat problematic, NT as it now stands has no ships to offer next year.  That doesn't stop most college coaches from clearing a spot if they think they can get a better player.  

The primary concern I have with McCasland's recruiting thus far, is can he recruit one of the hottest areas in the nation, DFW.

Must have watched the FAU game... (Yes, i'm aware it's not a football recruit)

Crap!  Wonder what happened.

[outoftown]

Hmm... even after reading this thread and all, I got no clue what this decommitment means. Is this just a case where UNT moved on, or did he start getting more attention, was he actually a good player, or more fringe. I got no clue, somebody elucidate this for me.

[chrisfisher]

Not sure why, but he definitely de-committed. Very strange to commit and then immediately de-commit. I wonder if he did it to attract attention from other schools?  https://twitter.com/RFredericks_/status/922207037873885184

He didn't commit and then 'immediately de-commit'.
He committed on June 23rd.  Decommitted October 22nd

Thanks for that clarification. I didn't realize that. That makes more sense.

Also, basketball early signing period starts in 13 days. The timing probably comes from him getting cold feet, new offers, academic issues, or who knows what else shortly before he'd have opportunity to sign an LOI here. 

Unless they've had a guy in their back pocket, which wouldn't make much sense... I assume this means the scholarship isn't filled until regular signing period in April 2018.
