According to today's D-RC......(the story isn't online yet) .....but:

Colorado State, Montana, Cal State-Northridge all offered him scholarships (as well as us and St. Francis).

His coach says that elbow problems affected his shooting this year...and that he's a much better shooter than his stats would show. After seeing the difference between Josh this year (with sore hand and without)....I think that's a reasonable explanation.

Anyway, maybe they'll post the story online...and you can read it for yourselves.

Sounds like a very good athlete who should help us out with our perimeter defensive weeknesses of last year. Could be a big battle for perimeter minutes next season between our four roughly 6'5" Juniors, and our two sub-6 footers. I'd like to get a look at Richard's high school statistics. Will be interesting to see what JJ does with our last ship. A high quality young guy who could sit out a year and grow with Holmen and Knox would be nice.

I've got to go with JJ's instincts for talent. We have had some very talented players at NT under Jones.

This looks like a player who could potentially fit in quite nicely with an already talented team for the next two years. However, at this point, am I wrong to assume that the final recruit will have to be either a freshman or a transfer with at least two years left (after sitting out next season)? I realize that I'm looking way ahead, but I would hate to see nearly the entire roster have to be replaced before the 2011-2012 season.

I'm hoping for a potential impact transfer with multiple years left (like Odufuwa) or a high potential freshman we could potentially redshirt next year.

too many guards. too many 6-4 guys

Huh, JJ runs a 3 guard offense (point guard, 2 wings) and he currently only has 6 guards and one of those, Mangrum has a horrible history of injuries. If anything, he has too many front court players; six for only two starting positions.

      Unfortunately I feel like many folks might rather watch the Notre Dame/Indiana playoff game on Friday.

      Mississippi Valley State (12/18/24)

      We've shown over the last handful of seasons that we have one of the most suffocating defenses in the country. I still think the defining game of this era was the NIT semi against Wisconsin when we held them scoreless the last nine minutes of regulation.

      Breaking: North Texas lands Miami QB Transfer (Free)

      Ok so what's your suggestion? Don't get a QB? I'm confused as to what the end goal of your argument is. Regardless of who we get, we're going to suck? Looks like you're complaining just to complain.

      Not thrilled about playing State

      I'm looking forward to the game. In-state bragging rights up for grabs and a good built-in storyline with the two head coaches going head-to-head. Should be a lot of hype leading up to the game. I know we have a couple games on future schedules, but it would be good to rekindle the series. Give me an annual matchup against Texas State over the likes of South Alabama or any FCS opponent. I'm not going to call this a litmus test for coach Morris, but it's pretty close to one. His tenure has not gotten off to the start we were sold on. In fact it's been pretty disappointing. In two seasons, Morris has a record of 11-13 (.458). Those 11 wins have come against teams with a collective record of 45-87 (.341). His signature win is against South Alabama who finished 6-6 in the regular season this year, but did win their bowl game to finish 7-6 to become only the second team with a "winning" record he's beaten (FCS SFA at 7-5 is the other). Ouch. 2 of the 11 or 18.2% of coach Morris's wins have come against FCS opponents. 4 of the 11 or 36.4% of coach Morris's wins have come against teams named Tulsa and Temple. This is going to be an important game for coach Morris. I hate to utter these words, but is this an "opportunity" game? If we win, he will get a little bit of a lift and goodwill for the program and his tenure so far. If we lose or do so in embarrassing fashion, I think his time here is running out. Of course, I don't know how we treat bowl games anymore. They run the spectrum of meaningless exhibition games to the game that defines a coach's legacy. Should be fun.

      Mississippi Valley State (12/18/24)

      Sure. But this wasn't the first game I have thought this about. My knowledge of hoops is limited and I try to stay out of posting on the BB board for that reasons. Maybe it happens multiple times every game played by every team, but it seems like NT's defense forces this turnover type regularly against good and bad teams. Probably just selective memory. GMG
