If they can get another adequate big (assuming Abou is gone) and a slash guard, that's a really good group. 

[Jonnyeagle]

Kai?

[BleedingGreen]

Yes . Another big man as Morgan has a ways to go . A 6-3 to 6-4 guard who can defend and shoot well , a 6-2 to 6-4 slasher and a 6-6 to 6-8 forward who can compete in the AAC . Hopefully we do not need a PG.

Kai?

Only if by some miracle we can get him another year from the NCAA. 

[Shark84]

Heard before the tournament that Morgan was going to transfer. Maybe Hodge can convince him to stay, if he wants him.

[Matt from A700]

I'll take the big guy from Charlotte.

[Green Otaku]

With Ousmane gone that gives us 5 scholarships? 

[BleedingGreen]

I believe so.  I would love to have both Sharp and McKnight . I think they both fit our culture. I would take Sharp over the UTSA center easily .

It would be a good move for him to go to a Southland conference type school.

I’d rather have Jemison

Agree

Morgan has not shown anything and should transfer down. Why is Perry’s return based on NIL support?  Is Eady out of eligibility?

I think this roster would be very competitive!  To add, I have no insider info,  but I’m anticipating a very different roster for next year.  Not a good thing or a bad thing, just the reality of it. 

[southsideguy]

When the team came out this year there were a lot new faces.  I think it is college basketball now.  Do they get on transfer and then have to sit out a year on the next one?

Pending NCAA providence, I was thinking Martinez, Eady, and Huntsberry were the only ones done.  Is that correct?

Yes on Eady.  On Perry , it’s not officially based on NIL. UNT needs to support him is all I mean or he could leave.

That’s correct.

[2020 Sucks]

Perry will leave for greener pastures.  He did what he came to d I think.  Kai is out,  Jayden is done, Eady is done, and Browne is done..

rubin, Aaron, Stone & Sissoko will be the core returners, Moore will develop, Allo should get a spot, and the rest of the bench will be deteriorating by what is found in the portal. Javon Jackson has shown interest, he’s a 6’3” jr from CE King Hs in a Houston.  We have cotton coming as of right now.  So there is room for 2-3 transfers if Hodge wants to go that route.

[UNTLifer]

Why would Perry leave?  He stated this was his dream school. Why not come back for one more run and see what we can do?

It’ll be Jones, Scott, Sissoko, Stone and Moore.

Replacing Perry, Abou, Kai, Eady, Martinez and Browne (if you count him for impact)

It kinda reminds me of the 19-20 pre season, we had to replace quite a bit of talent and win like crazy.

He’s given UNT a lot, I feel like moving on (like pro) or going to a much higher caliber school, not Tech because I doubt Mac would recruit against Hodge he’s too nice.

We will see in the next few weeks what he does, I’m certain he’s changed his mind a bit with this McCasland move from what I originally heard/thought.

I didn't know that Perry came to NT to win a NIT championship.  

With the absolutely insane NIL status, there are very few NCAA players that can't be lured away.  So fans can worry about losing most of the team or dream of getting another team's elite player: great off season speculation.  

NT has just won the NIT, despite losing McCasland; recruiting should be a lot easier.   

It will be very interesting to most NT fans to see how Hodges handles all this turmoil.

I would think it would a lot easier to recruit with the NIT trophy encased in the reception area.
