I'm torn....was he good...ya...I think...but I didn't see near enough game changing/takeovers that he should have done in the belt. He had a ton of blocks...double teams...goal tends...and I don't know how great he was here at north Texas. Was it be fords fault....his fault....not sure. So he is leaving...cool...not a big deal to me.

North Texas accomplished plenty before him and will do the same after him...

You know Thor, it was a Catch 22 for Tony in regards to his play here. If he had dominated the Belt, critics would say something like " you can't judge him by that, look at the level of most of the talent in that conference".

Give me three competent D1 college players and I'll shut down Russell Westbrook.

People really needed to pay attention to what was going on with this team off the ball offensively this year.

You know at the beginning of the year, teams were overplaying Tony; but later he was not facing much more than the average center when he is close to the basket.

Many teams effectively played him one to one for most of the game. They basically denied him the lob and put backs, but were more than willing for him to get the ball ten feet from the basket. Problem was that Tony generally played for a dunk or a three.

If you watch the replays from the last half of the season, you won't see too many teams smothering him like they did earlier.

I wish him well,but he really hurt himself this past season. Dropping from 2nd team pre season All American to 2nd team Sun Belt must have scouts scratching their heads.

Nah. Once he gets into workouts and gets decent coaching he'll climb draft boards.

What a sad ending....KNTU did not cover his press conference, nor did the great North Texas athletic department. So sad, but it seems an appropriate ending. Good luck to Tony...hope you have the last laugh.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
