I cannot see Grant leaving UNT any time soon.  I think he is a family first, Church-going man that has found a home in Denton.  Don't think he is the type that would uproot his family.  And that 8,000+ crowd at the Super Pit shows the real potential at UNT.  Give Coach McCasland the recruiting tools and money for his assistants and I think he could stay in Denton for a long time.

Grant needs what Bill Blakely called an aircraft carrier or scoring-rebounder deluxe to fall into his lap like a Karl Malone or Elvin Hayes. One who would mesh with our present team matter a fact.   
Still marvel how UH’s Guy Lewis recruited the Big E out of Rayville, Louisiana. Seems the Texas Southern basketball coach was sure Grambling (or another SWAC) school was going to sign Hayes & so that the Tigers wouldn’t have to play against the Big E the TSU coach calls UH’s Guy Lewis & ask him if he’d be interested in recruiting Hayes.  Of course he was interested & as I recall the TSU coach all but lined up Elvin Hayes for Coach Lewis to recruit & then sign with the Coogs. Sometimes you just need a little luck (& a phone call) to turn a whole program around & put it in a different stratosphere.
