Dion Dowell a UT forward has told coach Rick Barnes that he plans on transfering due to lack of playing time. JJ has done good with getting transfers from big time schools(UT, LSU, ARK) to come here. This would be another great pick up.

Did I hear he was going to Rice or was that a Texas football player?

It would be nice to have players transfer FROM a big XII school rather than TO a big XII school. Thanks, Vic.

From Fort Bend Owl on the CUSA board:

Dion Dowell, a 6-6 small forward who was a national top-50 recruit out of high school, is apparently transferring to Rice at mid-semester. He'll be eligible for C-USA play next year and have 1 1/2 years remaining at that point. We're not going to be a postseason team this year but I like our chances for minimum of NIT next year with a 1-2-3 punch of Almond, Williams and Dowell. We only lose 2 seniors this year and both are replaceable.

It's not a done deal yet but Dowell was on the local radio today saying he is transferring to Rice.

Dowell is transferring to UH but was originally rumored to be going to Rice.

Did UNT do well in fall (and spring to date) recruiting? I was impressed with UNT's team and your facilities. If you win a few games like UH at home and A&M on the road, your team could really take off with confidence. You can still do it with a strong streak of wins. The SunBelt is pretty tough but I look forward to JJ pulling out a SB Title and NCAA berth in the near future. Eat'em Up!

We are pleased with these signings:

But the best may be our transfer from Arizona State, Keith Wooden, a 6' 9" 245lb. power forward.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
