Hopefully b/c the Mean Green coaches told him that our last scholarship has already gone to Alex Voyoukas.

Hopefully b/c the Mean Green coaches told him that our last scholarship has already gone to Alex Voyoukas.

According to Vito that would be a no. Why would we be after another guard?? ...........

Hoops recruiting update

I spoke with a member of Caleb Patterson's family a few hours ago who told me the same thing Patterson told a few other media outlets this weekend. He will not visit UNT, but there is a little more to the story. The person I spoke with in the Patterson family said that UNT told the center that it was interested in him, but that the coaching staff had already offered its last scholarship to another player.

My immediate thought was that it had been offered to Alex Voyoukas, so I gave him a ring. Only Voyoukas told me that he has yet to hear from the UNT coaching staff and he has picked up offers from Marist and Morgan State.

I am starting to wonder if that final scholarship offer might be out to someone other than Voyoukas. If UNT was hot after him, I would assume that the Mean Green's coaches would have spoken to him by now. It seems like every other mid-major program that is interested in Voyoukas had made its pitch at this point.

The only other players on the board who are supposed to have offers from UNT are prep school point guard Cardell McFarland and Dallas Kimball guard Darian Thibodeaux.

Thibodeaux plays for Dallas Showtyme Elite, a program run by Erven Davis, the brother of former UNT great Chris Davis. UNT has had a number of Showtyme players in the past. If it isn't Voyoukas or Patterson UNT is after, it could very well be Thibodeaux, who is ranked No. 56 in Texashoops.com's list of the top 100 players in the Class of 2008.
