North Texas Gets Another High Value Hoops Recruit

[Coach Bill Lewis]

Greg Wesley, one of the top basketball prospects in the Dallas area, saw what Tony Benford is building at North Texas over the weekend.

That was all that was necessary for the 6-foot-7 forward to decide he wanted to continue his career with the Mean Green.

Wesley, who is ranked No. 17 on TexasHoops.com's list of the top players from the state in the class of 2013, committed to UNT on Tuesday, just days after taking a weekend visit to the school.

"I enjoyed the coaches and the players," Wesley said. "I liked their talent and intensity. It's far enough away from home so that I can grow up, but close enough so that my mom can see me play."

Wesley averaged 14 points and 6.2 rebounds for Seguin last season and was a first-team All-District 7-4A pick.

Wesley said he chose UNT over offers from Kansas State, Oklahoma State, Arkansas, TCU, SMU, New Mexico State and Louisiana-Lafayette.

UNT has already picked up commitments from three highly regarded forwards for its 2013 class in Kingwood's Josh Friar, Midland College's Anthony Norris and Oldsmar (Fla.) Christian's Tony Nunn.
