That’s what I thought when my sources told me that Daniyal Robinson is leaving Cleveland State to become the head basketball coach at North Texas.

Robinson won 65 games in three seasons with the Vikings, winning 21-21-23 games. This past season, Robinson led the Vikings to a 23-13 record, 14-6 in the Horizon League.

Furthermore, Robinson’s team had a 3.3 grade point average in the last grading period. They were 3.1 for his three years at the downtown Cleveland school.

North Texas is in the American Athletic Conference with schools such as Memphis State, UAB, Temple and Florida Atlantic.

North Texas was 27-8 this season, 14-4 in the conference. Head Coach Ross Hodge was hired as the new head coach of West Virginia. Hodge had a $500,000 base salary with $200,000 in media bonuses and other incentives. His contract at West Virginia is supposed to be the $3 million range per season.

Odds are Robinson will at least receive a contract in the $750,000 range – if not more.

North Texas is considered a good job and also a launching pad to major college opportunities. Before Hodge, the head coach at North Texas was Grant McCasland – now the head coach at Texas Tech.

His stats don't really look that impressive. Highest scoring game was 14 in a lower league. I would hope he would be option 4 or 5 on the team.

As a true freshman and comparable numbers to Newell, an experienced former P5 junior.

Yeah, thats understandable, I just meant I hope he isn't filling the void of Tin. Newell replacement would be the exact place I would see him, especially since it sounds like he will play defense.

First, he is a freshman, lots of room to grow.

Second, we will likely be in full rebuild and could use the body. 

Looking forward to seeing the new coach and roster come together.

Agreed, I just feel we need to be picking up transfers from bigger schools. And I hope he does. All I was saying is I don't want him to be the biggest piece of the team like Atin was.

      The End of an Era

      Been following the Mountain West for decades and you could act like San Diego State or UNLV. As a former UNLV season ticket holder I loathe SDSU but admire them today. They built an identity, established it on the national stage, nourished it and they keep coming back. UNLV meanwhile has floundered. A once proud program stuck in disillusion. The Rebels could be special again with a steady program and leadership but they have gone all over the board looking to reset. Been trying to reset for decades. I was hoping Krueger would work out but again they look lost. We have an identity and will benefit from nourishing it. I like the direction Jared went with Robinson. Keep being a thorn in our conference mates arse and best Memphis soon. It’s Green it’s good. GMG

      Hodge wanted to set us up for success

      I have learned over the career journey that we hold a lot more keys and power than people want us to believe. Ross could have said, “Wren I’ll make my decision after UNT’s season is over. I am staying focused, staying the course, my team and University deserve this. Was wren really gonna go get anyone else? Hell I wouldn’t have even interviewed until my current goal was accomplished or unattainable. Then I have a full clear mind to weigh everything even negotiate a stronger deal. I only personally realized this after I’ve been pressured in the business world to act fast or risk losing. When you are solid with a lot to offer they wait. We hold a lot more power than we know. A championship by this team would have elevated each players and coaches profiles immensely. Wren played Ross and crew like the more seasoned business man he is. Now GTFONT. I’m excited about Robinson. I would love to see a coach embrace Denton Texas USA too. Robinson seems thoughtful, strategic, steady and strong. Will this translate into wins, who knows. But a coach that arrives with skins on the wall, affirms his excitement for my University and his opportunity, has my attention and support. Show some love to the Community and get the alumni and locals excited, we’ll build you a statue. Opportunity rocks. GMG

      Could UNT go undefeated this year in FB?

      There’s only one major high profile program left to make a national mark and I think we will have a special season. Undefeated, a possibility, probability low. Big win season, fun and championship promise deep into the season I could see happening. Potential goals: Playoffs. AAC Championship. Strong Bowl marquee matchup. New Mexico Bowl or similar. I’m going with AAC Championship goal with a good season being a marquee bowl matchup. We must progress, so minimum is a lower profile bowl win. GMG
