To be fair if you were a big would you want to play for a coach that clearly isn’t going to invest in you or give you minutes? 

I would if I was a talented big man, and not a role player at best

Simmons has two more years left and we already have Mark and Shakeem. Ask a few AAU coaches now in the DFW area if current senior post players are interested in signing to sit behind Simmons and rarely be used. It’s going to be difficult for Grant to get a big unless he shows he is willing to play them. Otherwise he will fill that void with Juco bigs that have limited offers. 😕

Do you really think a legit big man recruit is going to worry about sitting behind Simmons?

I am beginning to find it a bit humorous to keep hearing that CUSA is a "guard oriented league" when I see that every team UNT plays in CUSA has a big or two that seems to give our guards "heck" each and every game.  I would love to see a legit "big" on the roster that can take some pressure off our "guard oriented" team.  Simmons is continuing to develop and I fully expect him to be better next season and perhaps not get as tired as the season runs on...he played twice overseas in preseason as you may recall.  Probably played more games in a season than he ever has before, plus he has a bit of a nagging injury (don't they all?).  But, this "guard oriented" league sure seems to have its share of "bigs".

How many minutes have bigs not names Simmons player this season? High schooler seniors want to come out play for a winner or a team where they will get minutes and feel they are invested in. We haven’t seemed to that in our bigs and it has led to some frustration among many players. That talk gets to AAU coaches and then gets passed down and sometimes the words get twisted, but either way it doesn’t help. 😕

Can someone clarify what it means to be a combo guard?

My easy, initial thought is that this is a player that can play the 1 through 3 positions, but maybe it’s different from coach to coach, or system to system

Umoja Gibson and Duffy are combo guards, to a degree. They can run the offense in spurts, but are seemingly more comfortable off of the ball. An NBA example of a combo guard that I would give would be Malcolm Brogdon from the Bucks.

Often times you will see a player who is 6’3” or shorter described as a combo guard just because their height more closely resembles that of a traditional point guard, but in reality they are not players who you would want running your offense. Like former Mean Green guard Brandan Walton. He was 6’2” and may have been described as a combo guard in his recruitment but he was not a player who was going to run the offense. He was strictly an off the ball player who was best served catching and shooting as opposed to setting players up.

When I watch Voyles film he looks like an off the ball guard. I wouldn’t describe him as a combo guard and I don’t expect us to have him bringing the ball up the court if we get him. I would expect him to play off the ball and be tasked with scoring the ball, while a guy like Jalen Jackson sets him up.

For the record, the offer is for lefty combo guard Kevon Voyles (6’3″ combo guard).

In the highlight package below, he appears to have some real range and according to a write up from 2017, he's engaged and energetic on the defensive end.

 

 

I know I complain about our players not having enough offers, but this is absolutely a dude who I don’t care what his offer list looks like. Please get him. That stroke looks like James Harden

Every member of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd team all CUSA was a guard except for Charles Bassey the freshman from WKU.

      🙄 like I have stated before DC under a lame duck coach is not a highly desired job for coaches with options.

      That is very subjective. Boise State or UNLV probably will get the G5 spot in the playoff over a one loss Army team. Louisville, SMU, Houston, Rutgers and Cincinnati left conference for greener pastures. So I don’t know who anointed the AAC as 5th, but the playoff committee isn’t listening to them. Army, a team brand new to the conference that came into the conference and dominated. They were independent juggernauts last year at 6-6 🙄. AAC is viewed as better than the MAC, CUSA and Sun Belt. But we certainly won’t be viewed as better than the reconstructed PAC 12 and right now it doesn’t look like we are viewed better than the current MWC.

      Don't if y'all know this or not.....but the last two years we've had Texas high school football games played in Louisiana. Both years the games have been at Turpin Stadium in Natchitoches. As a matter of fact, this year they hosted two games on the same day. (Daingerfield versus Newton, and Texarkana versus Port Neches Grove). Both games were last Friday.

      The exact same thing was probably thought by other fan bases about Eric, Seth, Dan, and any other head coach we’ve hired here.
