DRC: McCasland was a hot commodity this spring in college basketball. He's still at UNT. Here's why.

I think the world of Grant and I think he runs a clean program that we can all be proud of.  I just surprised we not seeing some sought after players coming here.   Grant is special coach who gets everything out of his players.

I think the players that come in have to want to be coached hard and the want to to play defense.  Unfortunately I believe that weeds quite a few of the AAU wonders out of the mix

I read a coach quote recently that said, "Players these days want to be praised, not coached."

There's a bit of old-man-yells-at-cloud vibe in it, but also a heavy dose of truth.

AAC is a big plus!!!!!!!!!

For sure. Unique opportunity to see a program through a change of conference. It also puts pressure on Baker to not head into a new conference rebuilding with a new coach. Consistency at the helm will be key to continuing success through this.

Or, as we like to say over on the football side, "WTF".

Wren just didn't want to be on the hook for two new head coaches heading into the AAC. We'll immediately be competitive in basketball and I'm looking forward to seeing Grant lead us there

GMac, and apparently his family, just seem like good peeps. I’m a fan…not just because of the UNT ties.  GMG!

His dad is awesome, sat next to us at the La Tech game in Ruston this year. His entire family is just so likable.

Fantastic family

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
