I fell very sad about how this all unfolded. Ross must be beside himself. His whole team is leaving him.

Wish him the best. Loved watching him play here, but I had a feeling he’d transfer. It’s what college sports has become. I’ll still root for him. GMG!

There are 1,840 starters in D1 college basketball. 2,944 bench players in D1 college basketball. X = players running out of eligibility. Y = HS players entering into D1 college basketball. It's a gigantic game of musical chairs.

This portal thing is a freakin disaster.

Not going to sugarcoat it this sucks but as others have pointed out it is just the world we live in today.

He gave us his all for 3 years, he doesn't owe anyone anything other than to do what's right for him. I can't think of any player in a UNT uniform that put as much effort on the floor as this man did.

This should be a thread celebrating his achievements and nothing else.

Its the head coach's job to backfill with talented players that aren't seeing playing time at p6 programs or with high producing players at lower tier programs. That's how this works, get used to and quit crying about it. If the coach cant do it that's on him and him alone. Adapt or die

Since NIL is a major focus right now, I posted a topic in the FB forum, I didn't want to make a duplicate topic for the BB forum so I'll link it below.

I think he should be able to go to whatever school he wants BUT if he goes to one of our conference rivals, I'll boo the heck out of him! I also don't think he is a legit NBA talent at this point in his career.

The culture shock of changing from UNT to Memphis would be too much .
if anything, go to U of H or Tech.

To the first 2 paragraphs...Kim Mulkey would call him a quitter and never speak to him again. 🙂

Now...as to the last part. Not every coach is in this game to just win games. Many/most of them are in it to develop people and build relationships. This current reality is going to run some of the best off and attract a different kind of person and coach.
