Doesn't say a date, but we are in his Top 4.

Miles led the SWAC this year with 9.3 RPG to go along with 11.9 PPG at Prairie View A&M. He also averaged an assist a game.

We are the best program in his Top 4. The most interesting thing: he ALSO went to the same school Scott and Massie attended. He's been retweeting a lot of their stuff in the recent past.

I would love if that meant he'll land here, but I've noticed that doesn't happen often. These players who played together will be each other's biggest fans but seem to want to go on their own paths.

Conflicted. He was a good rebounder at the SWAC level but he's 6'7". How will that transfer to the AAC? He could certainly be successful here at that height but I hope we're going after more true bigs.

Agree but if he’s tough, he’s tough.  

Yeah there's exceptions to the height standard. Just think we need another athletic transfer closer to 6'10".

Dang... after 7 years of success you'd think the company we keep on lists like this wouldn't look like THIS. Embarrassing. 

Not a perfect parallel, but I’m reminded of the Dickey era and how he didn’t capitalize on the Sun Belt titles like we hoped for.

whats the deal? Is our brand - bball, fb, whatever - still suffering on the recruiting trails? Are we still looked down upon by hs coaches?

He played the 4 at PVAMU which is what I'm hoping he would slide into here. He looks a little bigger than Aaron but he wouldn't replace all of Aaron's shooting. He only went 7-20 from 3-point land this season. Maybe Hodge would make him work on being able to stretch the floor more in the postseason and give him more of a green light in Denton.

Shows you that these players in the portal are more concerned about money than your program history. Better get used to it. These are the kinds of players we are going to be able to get here. We aren't going to get the top-rated transfers. Go after guys that will play hard and want to be at North Texas. If they are grad transfers, then we know for sure they will only be here one year. Added motivation for them to ball out. Robert Allen was a great example. He didn't come here for the NIL money. Played his heart out for us.

I don’t know. His stats look reasonable to me from a production standpoint. Maybe a little undersized for a 4 in the AAC. We could definitely use a quality rebounder now that Allen is gone.

A lot of you guys still haven't learned....

Many times, dudes transferring from a High-Major/P5 to NT looking for more PT aren't nearly as good as dudes transferring from a Low-Major/FCS, or even D2.

Heard a quote from Sonny Dykes about transfers and I thought it was genius (it is about football but I think it applies to basketball too).

He said that if they weren’t playing where ever they came from, they probably won’t play for you either. 
Obviously there are some exceptions to that. But on the macro scale, I have found it to be true. 
Your transfer classes should be loaded with guys who were productive at lower levels (Tylor Perry, Jason Edwards) or guys who were productive at higher levels (Robert Allen, CJ Noland) but who fell out of favor at their previous school for decent reasons.

NIT champs are lower level? I have questions.

We got Tylor Perry from a junior college. That is a lower level. Did his college basketball career even continue when he left here?

Well, he was the leading scorer for Kansas St

I'm an idiot sometimes, and this was one of those times.  I think throwing TP in the middle of a Sonny Dykes Texas Tech football quote in which you're clearly not quoting - only paraphrasing - threw me off ab it.

He chose Nicholls State. lol. I’m going to keep trusting in Ross until I have a reason not to.

There are a ton of players still in the portal. It sucks, but we have to be patient and see how things play out. Let the big money NIL's grab up who they want and there will be a lot of really good players looking for a place to land.

I HAVE to assume that his offer got pulled and became illegitimate. It looks awkward having our logo next to those others. I either thought he was just stringing along the other schools to create BS hype for himself OR our offer was no longer good and he was trying to add legitimacy to himself with our logo up there on his graphic. Either way, see ya.

If the rumor of Ross suggesting out best players enter the portal to do what's best for them then my trust tank will start getting holes in it real quick...

Yeah maybe I should limit the number of threads about players whose finalist lists we make lol.

I can't imagine Nicholls could offer more $$? They're called Nicholls for a reason.

      The Band

      I know this isn't the most important topic, but I was curious as to what others thought. I live across the country so I can't attend games unfortunately, but from watching it on TV is it just me or has the band declined in quality in the last few years? When the camera shows them they look undisciplined/inattentive, some are just wandering around chatting. I see other bands together and ready to play as soon as a play is over. The size seems to have ballooned and now sprawls across 2 sections of the stands, and despite that they sound worse. The director also doesn't seem to know that the purpose of the band is to hype up the team/crowd, and put pressure on the opposing team on 3rd downs. Play something intimidating on 3rd down! When they do play it seems like they just have a bank of songs they go through in order without considering the situation on the field. The selection of music is bad, and it doesn't seem like they have any variety of songs to connect with the crowd, many bands will play classic and modern hits to get the crowd into things. Like I said I don't know if this is true or not since I can only judge on what I see on broadcasts, what's the in-game experience like?

      What is this program missing?

      I think if you did the G5 national championship thing....and the players only got the schollie and a stipend.......I think it would draw fans like crazy. I think there are loads of folks who want amateur athletics to stay amateur. With what we draw and get in donations.....there is no way we should be paying a football coach over $1m. No way. So yeah amateur athletics, tighten the budget. These coaching staffs are huge now. Do folks not know that we now have a bigger recruiting staff.....than Hayden Fry had for an entire staff. He had six assistants. And it was better, more imaginative football. But this will likely never happen. As all these schools think they're just a break away from the "big time."

      How 'Bout Some Blame For The BOR?

      This. Unless/until the BOR and Administration decide to "...make winning at revenue sports a priority", we will only have the occasional good season more or less by accident.

      WBB at Houston (11/24/24)

      We all know you hate baseball. If you make a dollar selling a ticket, it's revenue, and a revenue sport. Profit is different. Few college sports make a profit for an Athletic Department at the G5 level. Baseball (as opposed to golf, swimming, track, etc) would lure fans to campus in the spring, spur donations, as well as tickets and merchandise. It's not always about making money (profit)...it's keeping relationships with fans and alums year-round. Non-revenue sports aren't doing it.

      Agree, I would like to see some of these guys get some meaningful minutes just to see what they have. It's hard since we don't see them in practice every day like Hodge does.
