Breaking News: North Texas lands Ole Miss Transfer Robert Allen


Recommended Posts

This seems like a great match for us. Reading the bio ; I am excited about his academic success and hospitality minor . Likely a very UNT like personality and good character. Plus added frontcourt depth.

While not a flashy commit, does fill a need. Does he push for the last starting spot? Maybe. Right now I’d say its Buggs, Jones, Scott, Sissoko. I think you’ll want someone who can score to fill that last spot tho. 

I have no knowledge of the situation, but in my head Moore is the point.  No?

Feel like that is best case scenario. More likely see him as a 6th/7th man. Going from an end of bench guy to starter is a big jump. 

If he has a growth spurt and keeps working on those ball skills, it's for sure possible. He had flashes when he played this past season.

Absolutely. Which is why it’s not out of the question. Personally, I’d rather go into the season not having to count on that and be pleasantly surprised.

I see your point. 6th/7th man playing good minutes this season while taking the next step the following year….possibly upping his minutes late this season. I’m here for it.

John Buggs started 30 of 32 games last year for UTSA. 

Have a feeling you are posting this due to this comment:

Are you sure Buggs starts here?  He’s never played D1 ball before.

Stop and think about it.

I don't agree,  this is a SEC caliber player

Well he went from a double digit scorer to averaging 4 points and 16 minutes a game. So yes, you are right that he is SEC caliber because he played in the conference. My point was that had he stayed at Samford it looked like he was on pace to be an all-conference player but instead was a part-time starter at Ole Miss and transferred again. In my opinion, he likely would have been a better off staying and developing in the Southern based on his trajectory there vs at Ole Miss. 

He looks like a solid pickup for us, as he had good block and rebound numbers at Samford. He might end up being a bench piece and not a starter but that’s ok, as we always need solid depth.
