"What sold me on UNT was not only the fact that it’s a Division I school and in an amazing conference, but the love that I felt from both the track and the basketball coaches right away," said Henderson, who recently graduated from Martin. "My trainer told me to go where I was most wanted and I definitely feel like I belong at UNT. The coaches and teammates from both programs will look out and support me."

She received an offer from UNT track first to run and compete in the triple jump, but she waited because she always loved basketball. The coaches finally reached out to the UNT girls basketball team.

She'll be one of eight on the roster from Dallas-Fort Worth. The others include Mansfield Timberview's Terriell Bradley and Arlington Bowie's Jasmyne Robinson.

"I didn’t have any doubts of getting a scholarship because I had plenty of great offers," Henderson said. "It took awhile, but once everything fell into place for me to be able to play both sports, I knew UNT was where I had to be."

I like basketball and look forward to seeing her play for the Mean Green, but I love Track & Field so really looking forward to watching her in some meets in Denton after the new venue is completed.

      Great ESPN Story On Drew Mestemaker

      Honestly, this is probably the least significant thing you wrote. I stated in a thread a week or so ago that losing a bowl game only really matters to the diehard fans of the school. What most people will remember (because the announcers said it a hundred times) is that North Texas started a freshman walk-on QB who hadn’t started a game since his freshman year in high school on the B-team and he passed for almost 400 yards and almost led them to victory. I almost feel bad for TxSt because their win was the 2nd biggest story of the game.

      UNT vs Texas State BOWL GAME THREAD!!

      “If you have two quarterbacks you have none”. —John Madden *though I’m not opposed to a package of plays for Jimmerson if he’s as advertised and if he’s not the starter. It’s a looooong time until August though. Our starting QB may not even be on the roster and it’s possible that neither will Mestemaker or Jimmerson. It’s just the sad reality of college football today.

      Our Bowl was a loss, as most here thought it would be, because of the players that left. But because of the players that stayed it was an exciting game, better than most believed it could be. And the side story of our new, inexperienced QB gained us extra National media. We got a month of extra practice for the team and found a surprise player.

      True Freshmen Receiving Seasons - Coleman, Sides, Young

      In 2009 Darius Carey had a standout true freshman season racking up 509 receiving yards. Not sure what the record was before that but here are the top true freshmen seasons in terms of receiving yards since, by my research: 378 - Miles Coleman 2024 363 - Landon Sides 2023 295 - Wyatt Young 2024 281 - Jaelon Darden 2017 253 - Carlos Harris 2012 240 - Deonte Simpson 2019 151 - Darvin Kidsy 2013 146 - Tyler Wilson 2016 97 - Rico Bussey 2016 These guys on our roster are in really good company being atop some real ballers on this list. NFL guys, 1,000 yard seasons, etc. Two takeaways here are that you can make an impact early here, especially at receiver, and that even in the transfer portal it’s still important to sign top high school talent as they seems to be the guys more likely to remain loyal when they otherwise would have good stock in the transfer portal/NIL market.
