He is so much more well-spoken and polished as a conference leader than Judy ever was.

Judy talked?

Nice to hear the commissioner give props to the North Texas men's basketball program!  🙂

In the "new school promo clips" on Twitter that were posted in another thread, men's basketball (deservedly) got the most press as an immediate contribution to the American.

Appreciate Commissioner Aresco giving our basketball program their just due.  Aresco is clearly a more impressive leader than we have ever had before.

Speaking personally here, Aresco is at the top of my list for most impressive commissioners I've ever seen.  Not just the ones we've had.

Agree here. Most of the P5 commissioners get big press because that's where the money is, but Aresco fights his ass off more than anyone I've seen to make sure the American is nationally relevant and in the best position possible.

I liked his position.   He didn't oversell it if that makes sense.  He did make some very valid points.  The Big 12 and PAC 12 should not get to be grouped with the P5 designation.  There should be a P2 for the SEC and Big 10 period.  The rest of us are in the same place.

Also, I was pleased to hear him address the challenges head on including the NIL and Portal which were not an issue when they started up the AAC 10 years ago.

I've said it before and I'll say it again...Mike Aresco is the best commissioner in FBS football.  I hope that we can win a national championship in some sport just to advance his resume.  I think that we'll be strong in basketball, football, softball, women's soccer, men's golf, and track and field early on which makes me glad that Mike picked us.  I want us to do him proud.

      Of course he's open to HS players in future cycles. Pitino knows things change on a yearly basis. It's just disingenuous of you to say "Auburn is No 1 and recruits HS kids" when their number 1 ranking has very little to do with recruiting HS kids. When I look at the top teams in the country, most are led by at least one transfer. Duke is an exception but they have the number 1 prospect in the country. If you want to argue that in theory a team led by mostly guys recruited from HS could be number 1 in the country then sure. Duke could win it all this year with the number 1 NBA prospect. For everybody else who isn't getting the top NBA prospect out of HS, all data points to the transfer portal as being the best way to build a team.

      Thinking about the Super Pit....

      Seats aren’t going to be removed because the university needs it for graduation and they own the bldg. The east side entrance mall needs to be “dressed up” with string lights, lights in trees, vendors, food, music, refreshments, etc. on game days. The concourse needs to be livened up. Pop up bars, store similar to the one at DATCU that can be accessed from inside the SP and outside, information on the MGSF, music, monitors showing the game when in line for concessions, more efficient concessions, etc.

      And they aren't ruling out HS studs to fill some of those future voids. https://www.espn.com/college-sports/basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/252088/sebastian-williams-adams I'm not saying the current climate doesn't favor transfers - it does. I just believe you look everywhere for the players that best serve your purpose. If there's a guy out there coming out of HS that fits a need perfectly, sign him. And our stud transfers are leaving, too, if not graduating. So, either way, you're getting 1-2 years of contribution. majority college coaches are still recruiting HS players. Even the Pitino stuff doesn't read like he's completely closed the door. Lots of "this cycle" and "this year" when looking at the entirety of those articles/quotes, like he's potentially open to HS players in future cycles.
