UNT JC hoops recruits no longer in school

[Harry]

We are closing in on the end of the college basketball season — and
with it the late signing period — for high school and junior college
players.

UNT signed three high school players during the early signing period
that will serve as the basis for a pretty good recruiting class and also
picked up commitments from two junior college players — forward Anthony
Norris of Midland JC and Arthur Casmiro of San Bernardino (Calif.)
Community College.

Coaches from those junior colleges confirmed this morning that both players are no longer part of their programs.

The future of NT basketball looks BRIGHT!

No big surprise here but it begs the question, where do we find suitable replacements? Don't most of the best players commit early? Here's hoping Benford has some ace's in his sleeve.

Well... He definitely surprised us with a lot of deuces in the bed.

Next year is going to be epic.

My 8 win prediction looks to be in jeopardy.

And not in a good way.

If it weren't our school this whole story would be hilarious.

Just wait till he has a chance to get his own guys in here. We don't need talented, 1st round of the draft, gloryboys. We need 5 little Benfords out there, guys who will buy into the system.

We've won 10 already... or was this an SBC-play prediction?

[golfingomez]

oh dear...

[Green P1]

Anyone take the time to consider that it's not these recruits fault. What if their JC coaches were selfish, reading their own press clippings, and not coaching with heart?

[untjim1995]

This is just great news, Andrew/Skiver. I'm sure we will see LOTS of improvement next year when we get rid of that hack Tony Mitchell to the scrub NBA.

[H-towngreen]

So what I'm taking from this article is that players would rather give up basketball than play for Benford.

[UNT90]

No, 8 is for next year ( and only because Benford will schedule MUCH easier OOC games next year).

My prediction for this year back in late November/early December was 10-12 wins. I really wish I would have been wrong.

At this point, I sure hope Friar and Nunn can really be a force in the middle. Our problem is going to shift from poor outside shooting to being dominated completely in the paint.

Assuming Tony bolts, Coleman will be the only returning post. With no inside threat, our outside shooting is gonna get a lot worse.

Of the couch, at home?

Considering Friar and Nunn are incoming freshmen, I would hope not. I took this article to mean that Norris wasn't making his grades at Midland College, which shouldn't be too difficult, and the Brazilian was hurt and went home. I don't think any of us were terribly impressed with them, so Benford has to find some late replacements.

Ok, so I jumped to the joke too quickly.

Still, an awesome effort.

A for effort

"Here's hoping Benford has some ace's in his sleeve."

He did.

Then he subbed them out for Jokers.

This is spot on!

if people can blame Bush for a hurricane I'm blaming Benford
