He played against Wayland Baptist for 9 minutes late in the game and as I remember he had two quick fouls. Maybe you saw something that I didn't see, but it seemed to me he was a "Not Ready for Prime Time Player."

Maybe we can see him in against McNeese St next week.

I wouldn't be surprised if he is redshirted. Hodge is probably looking to see if he has enough to work with for the year without having to burn his redshirt.

I thought he looked confident in his minutes vs Wayland.  Very athletic, defended well, made a basket and two free throws.

Didn't he redshirt with Creighton last year?  He only played in an exhibition with them but no minutes in a season game.  

I think they transfer to get more playing time.  I doubt he wants to sit another year.  I'm afraid he'll be gone again.  6-10 and athletic needs more minutes with us!!

I thought he was a true freshman, I didn't know he was at Creighton last year. ESPN didn't list his previous stats so I assumed he was. If he can contribute it would be great to get him in rotating for Sissoko more.

He was rated very high out of high school for 2022-23....

Would definitely like to see more of him. Maybe it's the defensive side that's keeping him off the floor, I don't think Hodge is going to let you out there if you aren't giving him what he wants on defense.

Hodge, and really McCasland before him, seem to have a lot of reluctance to playing underclassmen. the trio of Rubin, Abou and Scott all starting as sophomores is the last real example of kids getting a shot. 

I'd be surprised if Vice (or Cotton, or Mason) gets much run v. McNeese...they'll likely play v. TWU and get some run in that December home-stand, but unless one of them real distinguishes themselves I think the rotation is pretty well set.

      This was so embarrassing. From 5-1 to 5-5 is just unfathomable. And we’ve looked like garbage for most of these losses. I think I’m just over this experiment. I watched the recent Dan Campbell clip where he’s describing his team’s identity, and he references having put “Grit” on the wall as a constant reminder of who/what is at the core of the team’s identity. We completely lack grit. A very soft, sloppy, undisciplined team and program overall. What is North Texas’ program identity? The only thing we appear to excel at is finding new and creatively embarrassing ways to disappoint our fans.

      Why Support this Program?….Seriously!?

      Helwig had Dickey playing 3 or 4 money games a year which skews his record. Coach Jake refused doing the same in basketball and was fired.

      Somebody really needs to get a hold of Jared Mosely. All the heat is on Morris when it also needs to be directed on our AD. What is he going to demand from his head football coach? Will he just pat him on the back and say get ‘em next season? Where’s the leadership in this university? Where are the standards to achieve greatness? All I hear are crickets from our athletic department. Really sad.

      Weeks ago, people were saying we’d be undefeated if we also played Army’s schedule. Total nonsense. This is our team…every year! Undisciplined, out of position, bullied, outcoached. Morris is simply unprepared to lead this team with his lack of tactics and expertise. You can get away with it in the lower levels, but not up here. It’s unfortunate we’re stuck with this “what could’ve been” talk for 3 more years.
