FAU completely changes, but still makes the list. This list is dumb.

They have very productive D1 transfers coming in.

Ken Evans Jr 6'5" guard from Jackson State: 23-24 stats 18.8 ppg 5.4 rpg 2.9 apg 39.2% from 3

Leland Walker 6'1" guard from Eastern Kentucky: 23-24 stats 15.4 ppg 2.7 rpg 4.1 apg 34.2% from 3

Ability Tandy 6'2" guard from Jacksonville State: 23-24 stats 17.8 ppg 2.6 rpg 1.4 apg 38.9% from 3

Baba Miller 6'11" forward from Florida State: 23-24 stats 7.6 ppg 4.9 rpg

Then there's a sophomore forward from Louisville and another from Illinois coming in with limited playing time. Like them or not, they're going to be tough again this year. Doesn't mean we won't be better but they still have talent.

I started posting this exact thing last night. FAU brought in some ballers.

Vic Trilli did that at North Texas back in the day.

I don't know about Trilli's background, but if I am an FAU supporter I have reasonable optimism for Jakus.  Solid time with Scott Drew at Baylor, plus 3 seasons at Gonzaga.

 

Quote

He accepted a coaching position that year as graduate assistant for the Baylor Bears, remaining in the role for two seasons.  He left the team following the 2013–14 season and became the director of basketball operations for the Gonzaga Bulldogs.[2][7] Jakus served three seasons at Gonzaga and helped them reach the national championship in 2017.[8][9] He returned to Baylor after the season to become an assistant coach.[10] He was an assistant coach at Baylor for seven seasons, assisting as they won the national championship in 2021 and won Big 12 Conference titles in 2021 and 2022.[11] Jakus was promoted to associate head coach prior to the 2022-23 season.

sure. so did Coach K, Roy Williams, John Calipari...

no doubt it's a super fluid landscape in the modern game...but if you're doing a pure, albeit lazy "Most Talented Teams" post, it's not at all crazy to keep FAU in the top 50. they've got some players. 

I'd also say at no point in the last 5-ish seasons of this nice UNT run have we ever had the "most talented" roster in our conference/area. coaching/system/identity have all led to more success than recruiting stars and I love that about this program.

      Wyoming Spread

      Show up cranky, pissed and wholly embarrassed from what happened on the Plains. Tech fans were gristly and couldn’t get enough beat down vibes out of them. That Washington State debacle had everyone from Sweetwater to Clovis in the mood to rumble. We need to be seething with get right game fumes all week. GMG

      NOW can we be honest?

      These posts are sobering and true. I would love to see UNT commercials and marketing represent our distinguished alumni. Visualizeextreme professionalism, potent influence. You know that change the world stuff all other universities seem to preach. We are way beyond being just a first generation prep degree. We will always have those success stories but we have professionals working on the world stage. Some of those billboard students wow. Who is President Keller? What do we think he believes? How do we think he will position our fine university? GMG

      Do we start the who will the next head coach will be now?

      I understand long term, guaranteed contracts for highly sought after coaches with a track record of success at the FBS level. I do, that's the only way to bring in someone with skins on the wall. However, I don't see why we have to guarantee money to first time (FBS) coaches and coordinators for 5 years. Imagine getting that kind of runway at your job. You can douchebag up for FIVE YEARS, with pay, before suffering any consequences. Is there any precedent for writing in clauses that give the university the option to terminate if certain metrics aren't satisfied? Like you need to get 6 wins by year 2, 8 by year 3, etc? We are in a new era of college football. At a school like UNT, you are going to lose half your roster each year no matter what, the continuity and 4 year development cycles are over. Its no longer an excuse to say "I need to get my guys in here", that just isn't an issue anymore.

      Oregon State AD: Pac-12 will look to add new schools quickly

      This rebuilt PAC will be the strongest and most valuable G conference, which in turns will lead to earning the 5th auto-bids most years and enhanced media exposure. North Texas would be stupid not to join if offered. Just think of what the AAC will become once they lose the programs and markets the PAC is targeting.

      Notre Dame- 66, Purdue - 7 ...........it can happen to a Big10 team too!

      Yes, the 3-3-5 was badly exposed by Tech over and over. Players out of position and biting on QB ball fakes that allowed receivers to run past them and become wide open. It's past time to shelve this defense and try another defensive scheme (and coordinator).
