Just saw that the HS point guard from Arkansas, Taylor, has backed out of his commitment to us. I'm afraid to look at any UNT basketball story now. When will we have something positive to talk about? This is depressing!!!

Was thinking the same thing. I try to remain optimistic but with all these negatives it'd be nice to announce at least one committed transfer to prove we're not disbanding the program.

What being a UNT fan is like right now:

The only positive thing I can take from this is the dude is taking the nut kicking pretty well. Perhaps meaning we'll still win 20 games next year?

True. I guess we'll see if the gif is accurate or if I should have posted someone writhing on the ground instead.

We are a stepping stone for P 5’s or you are being asked to leave. There is no reason to get early commits. Wait for the back end of the cycles and hope you can add some talent. Be ready to do it again next year!!

Unless there is some real positive news is being hidden for some great reason, maybe it is time to start over with everything just not new players.  

Hodge may need to join the exodus from NT.  Why keep a coach that is not able to keep any of his players?

Blame NIL if you want, but this is the environment every team is operating in.  It is hard to believe that all D1 teams in the  NCAA  are having this kind of turnover.

You don't have to look very long or hard to realize we aren't in this boat alone.

Players leaving due to coach leaving makes sense to me. You like that coach and he recruited you there, maybe you don't want to play in an unknown system. I understand those reasons.  We are not in that situation, our coach is still here.

I mean if we released him the feelings had to be mutual no?  Maybe with the other portal defections we determined he would no longer be a good fit? @Cooley or anyone else please feel free to chime in.

I'm thinking the same thing.

Out of 300 plus teams, how many have you found with the portal transfers that NT has without an HC change.  Sure every team is effected, many are clearing their roster for better players; but NT has lost just about every player that could transfer without losing eligibility.

Are you kidding?   Indiana State lost their entire starting lineup and 3 others (8 total) to the portal.  There are plenty of other examples.   Saint Louis just lost  Bradley Ezewiro and Djordje Curcic. They already lost Gibson Jimerson, Sincere Parker, Cian Medley, Stef van Bussel and Abou Magassa to the portal.  Arkansas lost basically their entire team.  There are too many to post.

To be fair he said without a HC change.

We lost less last year with a coaching change.

Tell me more about this.  Are you saying that players can lose eligibility if they transfer???  I’ve never heard of such a crazy thing.

      Now 48-18. Honestly, this is about as frustrating as it can be for those of us that think the league deserves more respect. I get worried that the data/committee hangs their hats on these losses, rather than look at all the mid-P5 wins we accumulate. Then, when selection weekend rolls around and one or two of us Americans are on the bubble, we get knocked out of discussion in favor of some 0.500 P5 squad.

      Kinda OT, but can someone talk about what Hodge does from an x-and-os standpoint? Curious on both sides of the court. The past 5 years work has removed me from nerding out on the game as much as I used to. You don't see as many coaches from the Iba/Knight trees anymore, side effect being I don't know how these current coaches think about the game.

      Utah State (11/29/24)

      In terms of difficulty, I think this team will be closer to SDSU than it is to St. Bonaventure. This will be tough and would be a good win for us. Likely Q2 but a chance of bring Q1 at a neutral site. They have wins at Minnesota and home against Oregon St. ( Oregon St. just played Oregon to 3pts in a battle down the stretch. By all accounts, we got handled by Oregon.) This will have great test for our guards to stay under control. We have seen stretches where Drake and even Mason have struggled with TOs. We need to handle the pressure. We should have the numbers to stay fresh so they need to stay high focus high intensity when they are on the floor. Hoping Ian is feeling better today. We could use him for sure. The tallest they play is 6’9”(3x players) and have 2x 6’1” guards who play a lot of minutes. Would love to see Mason use his strength and exploit those smaller guards as well as Drake and Ian would also be quite a bit taller than them. Fish, Templin and Gateretse should find opportunities this game and maybe even some time for Isaac Davis to use his strength. I think Akanno might have another good game here as well. We need to have to them struggle against our defense and break out for easy baskets, make the game go our way rather than being bogged down attacking their set defense. Also, I think our bigs run the floor much better than their 6’9” 245lb center and we should be able to find some easy baskets if we break out quick like we like to do. I think it will be tough sledding initially until we can calm down and figure out their defensive pressure, then I think we see us separate mid 2nd half and we take the lead for good.
