Or is it?

We don’t exactly have a huge NIL program to pay players. Just making an assumption, but you’d think he’d have garnered more money from somewhere else, just not the promise of actually getting serious playing time like UNT can offer

Outside of Marcus Trice, what P5 transfers have excelled here? That isn’t crap, just reality.

So you're OK when a player commits to us to automatically start talking crap. That in itself tells you a lot about our fan base.

Getting a former UT guy is pretty big. Seems like this guy wants to get playing time, with NIL being an afterthought

I didn’t think this was allowed ( according to some posters).

It's a different era. With more than 1500 players in the portal, there's bound to be legit talent transferring for playing time out of that 1500+.

We definitely haven’t seen someone transfer in and make an immediate high-level impact if they hadn’t already been a major contributor at their previous school. Timing has also been important, with winter enrollment being a huge advantage to learn the system during spring practice. Trice, Maclin, Guyton and several others were ok players in year one but didn’t excel until their second season. And almost no summer enrollee from the JUCO ranks has done much. Guys like Cleveland and Mazin played a ton and were able to contribute significantly in year one.

Honestly, this is exactly the type of transfer we should be going after. Redshirt freshman who's spent 2 seasons in a P5 strength and conditioning program. He has P5 size, something we lack, and he'll use his free transfer to come in. We can have him for 3 seasons before he can leave again (unless be wants to sit out a season). He's also from DFW so this is coming home for him. If you're not excited by this commitment, you're just looking for reasons to be negative.

Not trying to take away from these young man's announcement but with this many players in the portal can you imagine how crazy the spring portal will be also. A lot of these transfers will be taking over positions at other schools and then more players will be transferring out in the spring.

Great point. Just like the young man we lost at the end last year to Florida State a lot of high three stars will go to some of the top programs but will find themselves too far down the depth chart as these schools like Florida State or Texas are constantly adding four star and five star players. Hopefully this young man works out and has a great career at North Texas

We had the last ranked defense in the country last year. If you’re bitching that we are trying to improve it, I think it says more about yourself than said player.

I really think things will slow down for many of these players after their first transfer. These young guys aren't getting the Covid year so they'll get their free transfer and then their grad transfer, unless they don't redshirt. We'll certainly see big transfer classes every year until the system changes but you won't see as many multiple time transfers as we're seeing now

That's the other big factor I think we're seeing play out. Those who went to the biggest offer they had may realize their playing time will be limited and choose to transfer out. It's also a good opportunity for our coaches to rebuild quickly. Like I said above, once the covid year players move on, I don't think we'll see as big of an exodus as we've seen this year.

I'm not too excited about this yet mostly because I no longer know what it means to "commit".

At this point, has he done something that has contractually committed himself to being here Aug 31?
If so, I'm excited.  If not, I'll wait until Aug 31.

My thoughts at the moment as well. We’ve seen many flip their decisions. Kids are fickle at this stage.
 

Once their names are out there, programs with the financial resources will surely be waiting to throw money as the window closes. Maybe he’s here for what was being mentioned in another post…rebuilding his stock by gaining playing time to increase his NIL value as a graduate transfer.

      Cotton, Vice And Mason

      I agree with most of this here and I don't think anyone is calling for a 12 man rotation...but imma pull two lines from above that are kinda contradictory to each other: "Either these young guys are good enough to crack the 8/9 man rotation or they are not." and " if Ross offered him, he must be good." this is basically Ross's roster at this point, and yes, while we're winning games, I haven't seen any world-beaters out there. so if these kids are being given opportunity to win playing time and aren't at least pushing the upperclassmen for minutes, I have questions about our freshmen recruiting...I don't know if they "must be good"

      Anyone else still rooting for Eric Morris?

      I don't see any other option but to root for him... If you fire him now and reset the program again (twice in less then 2 years) then you throw away next season. All the recruiting, and portal momentum, and most of the team will disappear with the coach being fired.

      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?
