Why not.  He was here before and allowed to back out supposedly due to an ill grandparent, if memory serves me correct.  Then again, he is listed as 5'11" and could be a tad shorter.  I won't pass up a scorer, but we should be after bigger guards.

I'd take him. His height might be what deters bigger programs but if he wants to come and be Perry 2.0, I'm here for it. I do like Brumaugh from Tulane but he'll likely be out of price range.

Wasn’t his granny sick or somesuch?

We have a stellar 6-6 guard sitting on our bench...

17 points per game as a true freshman , I’d take him.

Not sure Ross would play him being a freshman and all.

Would be a soph. portal transfer. Right now, we have 0 point guards for 25-26. I really liked the kid but many times ego gets in the way of making the right decision. Probably would have bumped Floyd from the starting spot or at least taken some minutes. Might have been a defensive liability but his play making ability would compensate. Reminds me of a poor man's Mark Price. (who they listed as 5-11 or 6-0)

 I think Mason and Cotton would have averaged 17 ppg. as freshmen as well at Central Arkansas.

In this portal era, the kid was smart to go to a lower level school and shine. 
Beats coming here and sitting on the bench all season like the kid from Plano East did. 
Taylor probably has way more value on the open market than Tyran Mason does right now. 

We are going to see kids transferring UP more and more. North Texas has proven to be a great destination for players to win and increase their value. All of our guys from last season who transferred “up” got paid, had meaningful roles on their new teams and made the NCAA tournament.

Ross is not ever going to play any high school players as the level we recruit to is not game ready for a league as tough as the AAC.  I personally see no reason to recruit high school players with this NIL and portal crap and that goes for football as well.

      North Texas accepts NIT bid to make 4th consecutive appearance

      For the fourth consecutive year, the North Texas men’s basketball team (24-8, 14-4 American Athletic Conference) accepted a bid to the National Invitational Tournament. As the No. 2 seed in the Dallas region, the Mean Green will host a home game against Furman (25-9, 13-3 Southern Conference) on March 19. The team received its invitation after its 66-56 March 15 AAC semifinals loss to UAB. Three days removed from the UAB loss, head coach Ross Hodge said the team took time in its meeting to talk on fully refocusing on the NIT. “These guys were all in on wanting to play again,” Hodge said. “They love playing basketball. They love each other. They’re human beings so obviously there’s a disappointment level associated with not being able to reach a goal you set.” Senior guard Jasper Floyd said the team needed to turn the page quickly after failing to reach its season-long goal of winning the conference championship. “Because of the work that we put in starting last summer, we were confident in our abilities to go and as a group win the American Conference Championships,” Floyd said. “But we weren’t able to do that and that was kind of shocking to us. [...] We’ve been blessed with another opportunity.” In its previous three NIT appearances, North Texas has gone a combined 7-2 in the tournament and won the championship in the 2022-2023 season. read more: https://www.ntdaily.com/sports/north-texas-accepts-nit-bid-to-make-4th-consecutive-appearance-blessed-with-another-opportunity/article_943b2ea4-036d-11f0-bd0a-f3c54ceef5f5.html

      Education Trump administration targets UNT in a federal civil rights investigation.

      The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights said it is investigating the University of North Texas and nearly four dozen other schools for engaging in “race-exclusionary practices in their graduate programs.” The department said Friday it believes the 45 universities are violating Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by being involved with a relatively small project that aims to promote racial diversity at business schools. The investigation is part of the Trump administration’s efforts to rid institutions of “diversity, equity and inclusion” programs.
