"Best Fans In America...North Texas. Thanks For Coming Out And Supporting Everybody. S/O To Future Boys @C_Overlander, Jon, And Brandon"

Who is Brandon? Or am I looking too much into this?

Saw that too. Could be interesting...

Rumor has been around since early signing period came and went that Brandon Pye might come to North Texas on an academic scholarship, redshirt a year, then come on athletic scholarship in the class of 2013. The circumstances of his offer and commitment are a little peculiar, but we did offer him a scholarship at one point and he did decide he wanted to play for us. And he could definitely fill a role for us somewhere down the line.

But... Pye has (had? He's started and shut down at least one other one I'm aware of) a Twitter account. I'm pretty sure he's referring to Pye, but not sure why he didn't link to Pye's Twitter account like he did with Overlander.

If it is Pye, then I'm very glad he may end up with us without having to tie up one of our few available class of 2012 ships. If Tony's talking about him like he's coming on board, that's good to see.

Also... I'm going to move this to the Basketball Forum for now. If it turns out this is someone nobody has on the radar, we'll turn it into their prospect thread and move it back.

Link to the Twitter message.

Maybe the most exciting thing about this isn't the news that we have Pye coming on despite no scholarship, or some mystery recruit... But that Tony is talking about looking forward to playing with incoming recruits. Can't do that unless you expect to stick around for next season.

Rookie question: When it shows school's interest does that mean the player is interested in the school or vice-versa.

That is the player's interest in the school

      UNT Basketball Wins Fifth Straight With 77-64 Win Over FAU

      DENTON – The UNT men’s basketball remained undefeated at home with a 77-64 win over Florida Atlantic at the Super Pit Sunday. Moulaye Sissoko recorded his second double-double of the season and third of his career on 14 points and a season-high 13 rebounds. Sissoko has now scored double-digit points in four consecutive games, extending his career-long streak. North Texas (15-4, 6-1), who trailed by seven at the half, scored 50 points in the second half to earn its fourth come from behind win of the season. It’s the most points UNT has scored in a half against a conference opponent since scoring 55 against Rice on Dec. 29, 2018. “I give coach [John] Jakus and his staff a lot of credit, they came in with a big spirit,” UNT head coach Ross Hodge said. “I thought with eight minutes to go in the first half, we started getting a little more active, started getting some more turnovers and cut into the lead.” The Owls (10-10, 3-4) got their early lead behind Kaleb Glenn, as his 11 points at half led Florida Atlantic to the 34-27 lead at the break. UNT’s offensive explosion in the second half was led by Brenen Lorient, who built upon his five points in the first half with 12 in the second half. The Mean Green also took care of the ball as they finished with 10 assists and just five turnovers on the day. The Mean Green took the lead at the 11:07 mark of the second half on a Sissoko jumper and did not look back. Lorient finished with 17 points, his 11th double-digit performance of the season. Atin Wright also scored 17 points, going 4-8 from 3-point range. Sunday’s win also ends a five-game losing streak to FAU and is North Texas’ fifth straight overall win this year, which is a season best. They are now 11-0 at home for the first time since the 2010-11 season. Next up, North Texas heads to Wichita State on Wednesday at Koch Arena. The contest tips off at 6:30 p.m. on ESPN+ and the Mean Green Sports Network presented by Learfield.

      Man, Moulaye Sissoko has been the man lately. Goes 14/13 today, plays the most minutes and is a beast in the paint. Flour was also terrific, but the big guy kept us in the game early and was so solid all night.

      SUMG, FFR gets the credit for that one. The younger amongst us probably had never heard it, but jumped right aboard! GMG
