Someone refresh my memory - do we usually get a good amount of Texas Top 100 recruits? Or is my memory correct in that we normally are happy to get one?

I believe your memory is correct.

It looks like Johnny Jones is starting to show some of his recruiting prowess. I really hope everything goes as planned; this will be one hell of a recruiting class.

Awesome. Sounds like a second excellent recruiting class in a row. Maybe people will actually start showing up to the games.

Harold Stewart is extremely athletic. He is also incredibly aggressive. He pounds the glass on both ends of the floor, and is a better than expected passer down in the low post.

Probably the one thing keeping Stewart from being a high major prospect is the lack of an outside game. If he had a good three point shot, OR if he could break people down off the dribble from the perimeter, then he'd be a top 100 national player, because he'd be an oversized small forward. As it stands now, he is a bit of a skinny, undersized power forward.

In any case, nice pickup for UNT. He should be getting minutes right from the beginning, and could possibly even start at some point as a true freshman.
