I  really believe that this year we will see a unique, yet familiar style of play. A mix of what Grant laid down here and what Hodge is gonna throw in the pot. I feel like it's still gonna be Defense heavy but I really do see them playing at a faster pace. Not TOO crazy, but definitely a bit faster than the previous years. It's gonna be fun regardless!

I think it'll look like the NIT... slow but take every fast break opportunity for easier points.

I saw two things on this video that excited me: 1) A pull up jumper 2) Attacking the basket Obviously what we did last season was working, but I will be very happy if we move to an offe

I like this signing.  I think we have three scholarships left, can anyone confirm?

Unless a walk on was granted a scholarship, I’m thinking 4 more after the addition of the 3.

Definitely an up tempo guy. The question is what type of offense will Hodge employ? He doesn’t appear to be to interested in passing the ball around. Less than 2 apg could be problematic for a 6-0 point guard. I actually liked what little I saw of Christian Moore; the infrequent time he played.

Like what I see and 3 years of eligibility. Don’t see his game translated over in a slow down offense. 

agreed on the assists, which is why Edwards looks to me like a great off-the-bench candidate...can handle like a PG, but is out there looking for his offense in spurts. 

I liked what I saw of Moore, too...but in those limited minutes he wasn't really looking to distribute either (to be fair, he was out there maximizing his scoring chances in 2 minute end-of-game stretches). 

my assumption with the roster as is now we'll see a starting line-up of Rubin-Buggs-Stone-Scott-Sissoko with possibly Moore working his way into the starting five, unless Stone can get that 3-pt percentage up into the mid-upper 30s

Replaces Tylor's scoring and then some, exciting find.

At this point, I'd like us to use a three-guard lineup of Jones-Buggs-Edwards to open up some space for Moulaye to work down low, and even Aaron can hang around in a 4-out set. I would have liked to seen us get a slightly taller big, at least one dude 6'10" or taller.

I feel like they this staff will recruit another big man in the upcoming weeks.

Will probably not replace Tylor's clutch.

Hopefully our pace is a little quicker and we're not playing within a couple of possessions of a UTSA-type team with 5 minutes to go as often; so we won't need as much clutch.

The drive to the hoop can replace the outside clutch shot.

His use of the glass in those drives is impressive.

Have they picked up commitments we just don't know about yet?

Hodge is still going to make every player get after it on D.  But the secret to a faster pace with that style is DEPTH!  You can run a 7-man rotation at 55 ppg.  What you can’t do is run 7 as hard as we do on defense and ask them to go score 70+.

I agree about Moore. Thought he really looked like a solid D1 PG with his handles, passing, and shooting all being among the best on the team. Guessing Mccasland didn’t trust him defensively, but I hope he sees a bigger role this season.

Rubin running the point with Moore as his back up... I'm cool with that. I can imagine a rotation where Rubin is the point on O and guards the 1-3 on Defense. Edwards and Buggs are gonna be tough to keep off the floor of the starting line up but I think one of them might play the role of designated scorer off the bench like Tylor did his first year. Then I see Allen, Sissoko, and Scott rounding out the starting line up. Sissoko is athletic enough to defend a smaller 4-man and strong enough to bang with a big boy. Allen is probably gonna be on the floor a lot if he commits to playing D. I even think Chrisdon Morgan can develop to give valuable minutes on the block, especially defensively. I am excited about the pieces we have. I think we will see a step forward from Stone and I believe Cotton will be ready to contribute like Scott did as a freshman. This team can be really good and pretty deep this year!

Perry and Edwards faced pretty much the exact same competition in JUCO.

I was telling @Big Z yesterday, I dont wanna get top far ahead of myself, but there is a chance he could be better than TP. Great pickup by this staff!

      Maybe I'm Wrong, But

      In this day and age of the NIL, the secrecy around player injuries and "disappearances" off the roster should end. Fans/alumni are now more financially involved than at any time in the history of the game and we have players like Gabe Blair, Leke Asengua and Jasper Lott just quietly removed from the roster, players like Sheffield that are on their way to big games end up on the bench in critical situations, etc... Sorry, but the days of secrecy are gone. I want to know the status of these people. Where are they? Why did they leave? Etc...

      They weren't treated unfairly. They were warned numerous times and they thumbed their nose at the NCAA basically from the Governor's office. Go Russia State!

      If Eric Morris wins a bowl game, will you forgive his past sins?

      I think coaches measuring stick should be the 1st Half of the schedule next year. Moseley should be prepared to fire him mid season and assign Cobb as interim if he is having poor outcomes.

      Do I need to go into another rant about how we didn't start our endowment fund until 1974 or 75. It was AGAINST OUR CULTURE TO RAISE OUTSIDE MONIES. When we finally caught on, we were 84 years behind just about everyone else. BUT most of the administrators still didn't want North Texas to change. Around the time that "Jitter Nolan" and Hayden Fry arrived we were the complete opposite of SMU. They loved their money, and we loved our bureaucracy. And that is mostly still true today. SMU resents that they were punished for what just about all the other SWC schools were doing. And that is somewhat valid. But my assessment of what went down starts with the fact that everyone dislikes and/or hates SMU and it culminated with their ham handed, and arrogant, system of paying players. SO, once again, SMU was treated unfairly, but they pretty much brought it on themselves. Just about everyone hated you then.......and pretty much still does.
