t’s gonna get much uglier in the future. The administration is mad at how the 2% has stirred up the media and made them look like the apathetic idiots they are for UNT sports. They’ll get some more revenge in the years ahead.
our mediocre, no championship-winning coach just got hired UP in the college sports world and most of you don't know what to do because 98% of your fandom is seemingly centered around water cooler talks with your Horn/Aggie/Raider/Bear/Mustang/Frog co-workers, and the feelings of inadequacy you feel toward your rather mid Alma Mater's sports history always well to the surface and cloud perspective and as such you've never learned to just enjoy the successful basketball we've had since 2017...
so finally, that era is over.
I was initially a bit ambivalent on the Robinson hire, but the more I've dug the more I like the pick and think at worst he is a good continuity hire to continue our upward trajectory as a basketball program
as likely would've been the case had Hodge stayed another season, we're going to be looking at a brand new roster for the '25-26 season yet again. just the nature of the beast. wanna complain about it? fine, I guess...but last I checked ESPN+ isn't putting a gun to your head to watch these games.
so, what do we have so far?
3 CSU transfers:
- Je'Shawn Stevenson - G - 6'2" 200 - Soph - starting guard/6th man potential
- Dylan Arnett - F - 6'9" 240 - Sr - likely starter at the 4/5
- Reece Robinson - F - 6'8" 225 -Soph - 15-20 minutes/game reserve
Possible Retunees, Known Commodities:
- Brennan Lorient - F - 6'9" 215 - Sr - imma set it at 25/75 at best that B-Lo is back...he's done enough to get paid more than UNT can offer
- Jasper Floyd - G - 6'3" 195 - Sr - 50/50? I like him and want him back, but I would think WVU fans would be under-whlemed dropping a ship on him next year
- Grant Newell - F - 6'9" 220 - Sr - he's maddening, sure...but he fills a role here and given the Chicago connect, I bet he's back
Possible Returnees, Unknowns:
- Tyran Mason - G - 6'6" 195 - RS-Fr - hope he stays, I guess?
- Brock Vice - F - 6'10" 240 - Soph - gotta think he either stays or Hodge had a plan for him and brings him to WVU...I see little middle ground here
- Alex Cotton -G - 6'5" 200 - So/Jr(?) - two years here and no PT likely means a transfer down...best of luck in the SoCon
- Baron Smith - F - 6'9" 220 - Fr - just on the eyeball test at shoot-around in Phili, we could do worse for a prospect...wouldn't be disappointed if he stayed
Incoming Recruits:
- DJ Thomas - F - 6'7" 210- Fr - I've seen their game described differently, but I'd be happy if either he or Mason stuck for next year...they're probably filling a similar roll
- Cahmai Crosby - 6'3" 180 - Soph - solid JUCO numbers...looks like a role player...happy if he's a contributor next season, but won't lose sleep if he never steps foot on campus
Recruitment Needs:
- #1 lead scoring guard - we need 15ppg ideally from a winning D1 program walking through the door
- starting center - I would love someone who makes either Arnett or Newell our reserve 4/5...both if B-Lo happens to stay
- starting PG - I mean, in an ideal world Floyd stays, but is our swing guard and we add a dynamic PG
- 6'5"-ish wings - can never have too many
