So far we have:

Zach Simmons
Jordan Williams
Shannon Shorter
TB III

You give me that roster (in their college playing days) and any of the following, Josh White, Ryan Woolridge or Javion Hamlet, and I’ll put $10,000 on them to win CUSA this year.

Need a PG and a defensive specialist.   Then, we need a couple sharpshooters.    ... and Tony Mitchell.

I thought we also had Draper and JJ?

I think those guys are putting it together.   I don't know if they're playing or not.

Thanks. I wasn’t sure.  I’m excited to watch this group of guys play

Chris Jones, Tony Mitchell, Armani Flash, Javion Hamlet, and Marcus Smart. We set. 

I doubt Chris would consider himself one to "Bleed Green".   Armani Flannigan is an interesting name.  I know he was playing in Europe recently....   

Marcus Smart?!?!  Wrong Green.

Lol I meant Roosevelt smart, but had just been on a different sports page lol. Armani would play I know. 
 

Chris might consider if Jordan and Tony play. He didn’t hate UNT. He is just the guy that butted heads with Benford.

Where’s Jordan Duffy these days?

I agree with Roosevelt as a sharp schooter. We need 3 shooters and Hamlet.

[BleedingGreen]

Oh and JJ to lock down other team’s best G scorer.

What is Chris up to these days? I loved having him in Green.

Bouncing around overseas/down south. Lot of these guys play in 1-3 leagues to make a living.

"Armani Flash" is his Twitter handle.

Marcus Smart was recruited here pretty hard back when he was at FM Marcus.  It was Coach Jones's last season here, and he just landed that class of Mitchell, JWilliams, Jones, & Robinson, plus bringing Roger Franklin home... NT had assembled somewhat of a DFW All-Star team, so it wasn't just a pipe dream to land him at the time.
He and Phil Forte attended a few games at the Super Pit, but they both wound up at OKSt.

Has Miller been mentioned about this team? I figured he and Simmons would have good chemistry since they've been on the flyers together.

I don't think that he'll be available.  He's playing in a summer basketball league in Slovakia.

[Marty]

Another player on board. Went to Lewisville High so I guess meets the criteria.

No they are not. They are the two "GMs" of the team with a coach, who was an assistant here, who'll be the "HC" role

Is there a limit in the number of players that did not play here but can play on the alumni team?  

[MeanGreenTexan]

Uh, not as excited about these dudes who aren’t alumni, but if they can help our guys win, let’s go!

Could care less now…

 

there have already been teams with 2-3 UNT guys on them. This isn’t any different now….
