- Tony Mitchell is making quite the impression on first-year North Texas head coach Tony Benford. “He’s by far the most athletic person I’ve ever been around in basketball,” Benford said of the 6-8 Mitchell, who will likely be picked as the Sun Belt’s Preseason Player of the Year. “He’s does things that just make you shake your head and say wow.” Mitchell, who averaged 14.7 points and 10.3 rebounds per game last season is the main cog for the Mean Green but don’t discount two sophomore guards, Chris Jones and Jordan Williams that both averaged in double figures last season. “They’re top 100 caliber players coming out of high school,” Benford said of Jones and Williams. Benford also said he is waiting to hear from the NCAA on whether or not former Marquette commit T.J. Taylor will be eligible for the Mean Green during the upcoming season. The 6-4 guard originally committed to the Golden Eagles when Benford was an assistant under Buzz Williams before he became the head coach at North Texas.

So how does the Trey Norris situation look know?

Norris could not beat out a walk on for playing time.

With or without TJ, he wouldn't have seen the floor this year.

Taylor still has to apply for eligibility with the NCAA. It shouldn't be a problem , but u never know

Again, just leave the North off, and he will be fine.

If not...

Considering that he played against guys like Olajuwon and Drexler, that's really saying something.

TJ's tweetss from yesterday I thought we're odd. Apparently he's ineligible.
