I did say we may never know the particular circumstances, but I don't think comparing the decisions of a 17/18 year old teenager to the decisions of adults who are professionals in the field and paid handsomely for their experience and expertise are quite the same.  Maybe the coaching staff should post a red puzzle piece every time they pull an offer and we can all speculate who it is and what they did.

So 17/18-year-olds can make NIL decisions and commit and decomit, but in your opinion, they should be able to do that since their only 17/18? These same 17/18-year-olds are talking about making "business" decisions. If they want to be a part of the "business" world then they should be just as accountable.

Not sure I'm following you.  We've heard on a few recent decommitments, that our coaching staff pulled the offer and I was commenting on that.  The impression given is that they really didn't "decommit," we did, so everything is OK.  Perhaps it happens all the time and we're just being more transparent about it, but it seems odd to me that our coaching staff whose job it is to evaluate talent felt strongly enough to offer a scholarship only to renege on that offer a few weeks/months later.  Did they re-evaluate and change their mind, did the recruit "do something," was the offer contingent on some obligation the recruit failed to live up to, etc.?  Like I said we will probably never know unless someone decides to share the details.

We've heard that relationships with HS coaches is important to the overall recruiting process.  I can't imaging that pulling a recruit's offer does much for that relationship unless the HS coach has been consulted and is in complete agreement.  This was another area that seems concerning if we are offering only to pull the offer at a later date.  Are we burning bridges?

Those are good points, and I agree it can be a slippery slope. I have seen HS coaches post messages about college coaches no longer being welcome because of how they handled the situation. I would guess a lot has to do with how each case is dealt with. But at the same time, to be the devil's advocate, if a player decommits from a school, should that school no longer recruit at that high school? I understand the coaches are looking out for their players, but things change, and hopefully, if both sides communicate, it can lessen the hard feelings.

Thanks.  Guess 247 lost interest.  I stand corrected.

Well you probably aren't wrong in your assessment as Butler is a JUCO

Simple! Coaches can change their minds too, it works both ways now; every year is going to be different, players can be cut without notice and players can transfer every year…buckle up, coaches better be on their game to keep the roster, add and delete every year! UNT better come up with a lot of money for NIL or we’re toast!

If you're going to cut ties, this is the time of year to do it. Micho Lavine has a lot of time to land somewhere else. We have a lot of time to find alternatives at the position.

      The Band

      1. Anyone. There is a tryout. 2. No. It is provided by the school. The summer uniform/clothes under the uniform are paid for by the students. 3. Both. Most play on their own instrument. Marching instruments such as the sousaphones, marching baritones, mellophones and drumline are provided by the school. 4. Both. To my understanding. 5. 1 credit 😡 6. Most GB members make up the pep groups but that’s not always the case. *This might be outdated info. Sorry if anyone has other intel.

      Cotton, Vice And Mason

      Not being capable and not being given a legitimate opportunity are two different things. Moore never got a legitimate chance in my opinion. I don't think Taylor would have been given a legitimate chance either just like I don't believe Vice, Cotton, and Mason are being given legitimate opportunities to showcase themselves. We had a 20 point lead the entire second have against Evansville. They couldn't get in for 5-10 minutes with the members of the main rotation to see how they perform? Would be nice to know what we have if a main player goes down...

      The Band

      Before adding my thoughts, I have some questions about the band that maybe current or former band members or someone in the know can answer. 1. Who gets to be in the band? Is it an open try out or only available to students in the school of music? Is there a try out at all? 2. Do band members have to pay for (or rent) their uniforms or are they provided by the school? 3. Do they play their own personal instruments or are these provided by the school? 4. Where does any funding required for the band come from (Athletic Department, School of Music, somewhere else)? 5. Do band members receive any credits (elective or otherwise) for being in the band of it is purely voluntary? 6. What (if any) is the relationship between the Green Brigade and the pep band that plays at basketball games?

      UNT Basketball Beats Oregon State, 58-55

      DENTON – Atin Wright hit a game-winning 3-pointer with seven seconds remaining as the UNT men’s basketball team defeated Oregon State 58-55 at the Super Pit on Monday night. Three North Texas (5-1) players finished with double-digit point totals as the Mean Green remained undefeated at home this season. Latrell Jossell finished with a season and game-high 15 points. Brenen Lorient scored a career-high 14 points, extending his streak of double-digit point games to three. UNT has now beaten two high-major teams this regular season — they defeated Minnesota 54-51 on Nov. 13. It’s the first time they’ve accomplished that since the 2010-11 season when they beat Texas Tech and LSU in the same year during the regular season. The Mean Green continued to be one of the most efficient defensive teams in the country, forcing 22 Beavers turnovers, UNT’s highest total since Nov. 26, 2020 when the Mean Green defeated Mississippi Valley State 116-62 at home. "Our ability to turn them over 22 times in a one-possession game was the separator," head coach Ross Hodge said. " That's a really good team that can really shoot. We talked about it in one of the [media timeouts] that we were going to really have to string together some of our best defensive possessions and I thought that group in the second half was really good." North Texas took a close 26-25 lead into the locker room at halftime. Oregon State (4-2) came out hot to begin the second half and held the lead until the 5:38 mark. 13 of the Beavers’ 22 turnovers came in the second half, ultimately leading to the Mean Green’s close victory. North Texas travels to Kissimmee, Fla. to take on Northern Iowa on Thursday at 7 p.m. CT for their first game of the NIT Season Tip-Off. For more information on UNT Basketball tickets, contact the Mean Green Ticket Office at 940-565-2527 or at ticketoffice@unt.edu. Fans can purchase tickets at www.meangreentickets.com or visit the UNT Athletics Ticket Office located at Gate 2 of DATCU Stadium between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

      The Band

      high school band director was a mistake. band has regressed. drumline is abysmal, no confidence, no arrogance, no true talent. last 2 years the drumline has been the worst since the 80s. need to drop that best damn band in the land and best drumline in college football....not even close to being true.
