The incoming freshman next year are gonna be playing an extremely important role. Hopefully guys like Stone and Scott among others are ready.

Mac has had a terrific past of getting freshman playing big roles, so I have confidence.

I agree that they are going to have to play an important role, but outside of Jones, I don't see Mac being terrific with freshmen.  Am I missing something there?

Agreed - I would like to bring in an experienced ballhandler and someone to play on the wing - pref. D1 junior transfers. Then if we have another scholly, maybe the best freshman available that we can get.

Mac has 3-5 ships yet to give.   I believe unless there is a great high schooler available, he will recruit transfers.

Mac seems to value experience more than anything, he does not play freshmen much.  Jones I believe is a second year player.  

Hopefully, the new freshmen will be so good that they play.  However, it is Mac tendency to go with jucos or graduate transfers. 

The one sure thing, is that he is a defense first coach and no one is going to get significant minutes unless they are good defensive players.

Yeah I get what you’re saying and all but MAc is like what 60/40 on these types of deals?  Worries me that he has to hit on so many and lose his better players in the portal to boot (Reese).

I’m sorry, but the Portal must go unless the NCAA wants to create more recruiting scandals when schools start meeting secretly with stars from other schools & then start cherry-picking from said schools, specifically G5 schools. 
It was an NCAA bureaucrat’s  ill conceived idea that doesn’t teach loyalty to recruits original school in any form or fashion.  
If NCAA bureaucrats want to screw up a good thing let them go to Washington where they can do that all day long with we the taxpayer’s money.

I think we will get another big so it’s not just Abou and Chrisdon Morgan on our roster. Looks like we’re going after them too.

Do we know anything about a possible timeline on all this roster turnover?  I know deadlines are probably no different than previous seasons, but all this portal activity has my head spinning.

Would love to know when we can expect things to settle and dust to clear in Denton, America.

Brune said he’s expecting closer to the end of the month for the dominos to start falling.

https://247sports.com/college/north-texas/Article/Update-on-North-Texas-Mean-Green-basketballs-roster-163952942/

For example, in 2019 we landed Javion Hamlet, James Reese, Deng Geu, and Thomas Bell all within a 2 or 3-day span at the very end of April. Reese and Hamlet committed together on April 28th and Geu and Bell committed on the 30th. Wouldn’t be surprised to see the dominos fall quickly once they start. Especially if these guys come in on visits together here in the next couple weeks or so.

Just as an FYI, the portal has been around since 2018.  Did we have a problem with it before the 2020 COVID rules?

      Softball vs. UAB (4/17 & 4/18/25)

      Mother Nature disrupts another softball series. With Easter on Sunday, and bad weather expected Saturday, the ladies will play one game tomorrow and a doubleheader Friday starting at 3 PM. Tight race in The American as we enter the last three conference series. UNT needs two wins this series to match their win total from last year. I maintain getting a top two seed is the highest priority but we are right there with #1 FAU and hold the tiebreaker, the only team in the conference to do so. Other Series This Weekend FAU @ East Carolina Memphis @ South Florida UTSA @ Charlotte Wichita State @ Tulsa I don't foresee South Florida or Charlotte losing this weekend, so a sweep at home against UAB is almost necessary.

      Thought I'd share some good news in this thread. Taller than Lampkin and NCAA Tournament experience.

      We’re not alone

      I read somewhere before the teams were even seeded that Florida, Auburn, Duke, and Houston were a step above every other team. There was some metric/stat they showed to back up the statement. So, yes, I think those teams were accurately seeded…though TT almost had something to say about it.

      WBB: Transfer Portal

      https://dentonrc.com/sports/colleges/mean_green/unt-womens-basketball-team-looking-at-nearly-complete-rebuild-after-players-head-to-portal/article_cf093cbf-6ff4-44de-a70d-4f4892172cb2.html Brett Vito is reporting in his article that Hardaway, Deck, Wooten, McGrew, and Duncan are all in the portal. He reported also that Johnson left towards the end of the season. I knew I didn't see her any longer, but I thought maybe injuries, but it turns out she left like Abou did a few years back. Brackens went into the portal and has since landed at Tarleton State. The only people he says that are coming back are Tac, who was injured all season, Chania Price, and Talley.
