20. Tony Mitchell, PF/SF, North Texas: Aim high! In a draft full of middling prospects, it seems worth it to go after one of the biggest boom/bust guys we have seen in years. Mitchell is one of (if not the) best athlete in this class and like some of the other players on that list has not impressed this year. That said, Tony did a good job in the U-19 World Championships where he was the per-minute rebounding leader over guys like Jonas Valanciunas and Patric Young. If he can put it together, Mitchell could be an NBA starter and/or an important contributor on a strong team.

Always a chance, but they will be in the lottery and Mitchell is projected to go later in the 1st round. If they took him, it would be a reach.

Mavs may not be a lottery team yet. They have a chance to get into the 7 or 8 seed...

Boom or bust is the perfect description for TM...he's likely to go in the 20-30 range in the first round, or maybe even early second (doubtful as long as his workouts are still amazing), and whoever drafts him is either going to end up with a really good starter with the ceiling to be a star...or a taller, better defending Gerald Green.

Gerald Green....? He could actually shoot the ball and played little to no D. Mitchell is the exact opposite of Gerald Green at this point. What are you talking about!?!?

      UNT HEAD COACH’S HUSBAND SAVES A LIFE AT DETROIT LIONS GAME

      UNT Head Coach Brittany Roth’s husband, Ben Roth, and their daughter were in the right place at the right time on Sunday December 22nd, and Roth was able to briefly save a life. Brittany Roth has been the head coach at UNT since 2017 and Ben Roth is a paramedic and firefighter in Plano. They hold season tickets to the Lions games, and Ben Roth told a Detroit Newspaper they try to make “four to five games a year as a family.” At the game on December 22nd between the Lions and the Bears, Ben and their daughter were sitting in club seats he described as “As close as you can be without actually being on the field.” That was when he noticed someone in a North Texas shirt, which was shocking as neither the Lions nor the Bears are based anywhere near Denton, Texas, the location of UNT.

      RB for 2025??????

      He reminds a little of Lance. Cowboys would line him up in the backfield then shift to slot. No linebacker could cover him.

      A plea to our "football-only" fans

      You missed his point entirely. He’s not talking about having another“but Denton hates us” pity fest. if the same people (or just half of them) who can manage to make it to Datcu to watch a sub .50 team would make it literally across the street to the pit to watch a team that has won 🏆, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      We should elevate if possible and meaningful. After the PAC’s new deal we will see if that is worth the elevation. There is no point looking west until they have something to offer. Any decision made must elevate UNT. We have a lot of goods. Let’s do like Memphis and wait and see what their offer will be to enter into the Rich DFW market. GMG
