As I sit here in Big Mike’s Coffee House on Hickory Street in Denton, across from my old stomping grounds, I’m compelled to write about a current University of North Texas product who should be getting much greater national attention than he already has.

North Texas freshman forward Tony Mitchell is one of the best kept secrets in college basketball in the Southwest– if not the country. The 6’8″, 220 pound Dallas native is currently averaging 16.9 points per game and 10.5 rebounds per game, both team-highs and putting him among the best players, statistically, in the Sun Belt conference. While the Mean Green are struggling somewhat this season, posting a 15-10 record through the team’s first 25 games, Mitchell is earning attention from college basketball pundits and NBA scouts alike.

      Great ESPN Story On Drew Mestemaker

      So here’s the other side of the “no loyalty in this era” coin. Here’s a kid that has been waiting since 9th grade. Put the work in. Made it to QB2. Never got a shot to play during the season even though our starter was obviously injured. Now he gets his shot and proves himself x 1000 But what does he get to see? Watches his head coach go out and get the sexy new toy to come in here from Miami. Is he going to get a shot to compete for the job? How much $$ is the new kid getting to come here? Were promises made? The HC didn’t show the QB he had any loyalty. He looked for a bigger better deal. And that’s just “a business decision” So It goes both ways.

      In today’s world, we don’t have a 3rd year program/coach. We had 77 new players this year. We’ll have a lot of new players next year at key positions. Instead of a 3rd year coach, we’ll have our 3rd, 1st year coach. It’s going to be that way every year. If he comes back next year, we will have our 4th, 1st year coach. How could it be otherwise with such turnover on our roster every year. I’m not being negative about it. But it’s a fact. Hopefully he brings in the right combination next year and they’re a lot better than the combination we had this year.

      lol I remember a couple of years ago at the Frisco Bowl against Boise State. UNT fans were getting mad at me and my friends for standing up during big plays, cheering too loud and some of the UNT fans wouldn’t even high five us. Instead, those fans were just sitting there with their blankets looking like they were watching an episode of the Young and Restless. I love my alma mater but the UNT culture needs a big kick in a$$. North Dakota State plays Montana State tomorrow for the FCS championship in Frisco and I wish we had the fraction of both those fan bases.
