Also heard JFK was shot, in case that hasn't made it to another forum.

Well if this works out it will be the first 5 Star, I repeat first 5 Star recruit to ever come UNT's way. Guaranteed NBA lottery pick!!! :bow: Down to the Great Johnny Jones!!! All UNT athletics will benefit from the national exposure we're about to receive provided Mr. Mitchell enrolls at UNT!!!

That national exposure could go either way. We may garner positive exposure if Mitchell enrolls, takes care of his academics, gets his degree or stays on track to earning his degreee and plays well for the basketball team. Then again, we could end up with no exposure because Mitchell carries the same attitude towards academics that he has exihibited to this point and never sees the floor. The responsibility is on Mitchell to hold up his end of the deal.

I hope it doesn't end up like this, Previous Top 25 Commit, so I will reserve getting excited until a later date.

I wonder how anyone that is posting knows what Mitchell's academic issues are? He went to an unaccredited prep and ending up short on necessary core courses to qualify for a scholarship. Did he get bad advise, does he lack intelligence, or does he not put enough effort on his academics? I have no idea, but I will give him benefit of the doubt and assume that the prep school mix up was the reason he did not qualify. Not everyone is college material and there is no shame in that, but why make that assumption.

At this point, Mitchell has taken the first step to get qualified for NCAA competition. I and most are very happy that he has selected NT for that step. I know there are a lot of colleges that once enrolled, he would be almost assured he would be eligible. I don't think NT is one of those schools but I am sure they will do everything they can within the rules to better his chances of playing. A great coup for JJ and NT and if nothing else it should worry NT's competitors.

Fleming by the way ended up with a very successful stint at the University of Hawaii.

This mornings' Startlegram has a note in the sports section under "Mizzouri basketball" that Tony Mitchell, a highly ranked recruit for the Tigers, has been rulled academically ineligible.

Nothing more.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      Some of you think these professional athletes have to go to classes?

      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?
