The saddest thing about this thread is seeing good UNT fans not only bash the most talented basketball player to put on a uniform for the Mean Green in the last 30 years, but openly hope that he doesn't succeed in the NBA just so they can point their finger and say "see, I told you it wasn't Benford's fault."

Even this program's fans are dysfunctional.

And all you are doing is attempting to justify your dislike of Tony Benford by placing any blame of Tony Mitchells failures on him (Benford). Is it any different? You want Mitchell to suceed to prove it was Benford. It goes both ways so get off then high horse and give it up. Let's just cheer on the players and the coaches and hold them all accountable going forward.

Benford is the reason Mitchel stayed. That in itself kept the team together. That was the big goal. Otherwise just think about how bad our team would have been without CJ, JW, and TJ. If Mitchell is s

Mr. Mitchell will be heard from again. It maybe a few years at worst. Once Mr. Mitchell becomes an NBA success story the sad truth will be that none of his Millions will ever come back to UNT. I bet T

My point was what I explained. Take it as you as you choose.

Is it possible that he was told last year that he would not likely be a first round pick so he decided to return for another year and try to improve his status?

Or was he a consensus lottery pick that chose to forgo the riches of the NBA for a chance to play for benfryzewski?

I guess we can only hope Andrew get a chance to talk to mrs. Mitchell so we can unwrap this mystery.

I never said I personally talked to his mom. But I am sorry I should never associate myself with anyone. Instead I should sit on the boards and play the conspiracy theory game.

Wrong, as usual, Andrew.

I want Mitchell to succeed because he attended UNT and will represent UNT in the NBA next year (hopefully). Perhaps you missed my earlier thread that showed that almost everyone on the team this year that was a contributor last year had worse stats. After a year of seasoning. So, yes, statistically it bears out that Benford did not get the best out of his players and I do hold Benford accountable for that.

Remind me again, how many years did Benford attend UNT?

That's funny, I've had the feeling that you would like to see the team do poorly next year just so your predictions will come true.

Not at all. I hope Benford completely changes his coaching style, stops yelling such inspirational nuggets from the bench such as "Go up strong, Jacob!!!! We went over that in practice!!!!", stops an inane substitutionm pattern, thinks and not reacts during a game, and recruits talent in here that can beat bettter competition.

The odds of this happening? I'd put it at less than 2%.

It means you find it perfectly fine to criticize basketball player's character and effort, yet have a complete double standard for football players, especially football QBs.

I wonder what you could have in common with football QBs that you don't with basketball players. But, then again, I haven't seen you question Niko's effort... ever...

Wow, now playing the race card when race has absolutely nothing to do with it. I should be surprised you went this route, but I'm not.

I won't even try to clarify my points that you are way, way off base on because you will twist it into something to fit your agenda which now includes the race card. I would post my true feelings but don't feel like getting banned.

Everyone back to your corners, red or blue (not that I see color, mind you...) and we'll pick this up again when the next Tony Mitchell draft analysis/projections come out and get a new thread.

      Finishing Out the '25 Class

      Please keep in mind that it looks like shortly they will be changing the roster limits and the amount of players eligible to be put on scholarships. I believe then you will have to keep the minimum of 85 but you will be able to go higher if you choose but with a lower total number of players that can be in the program.

      Thank you for this insightful recap Billy.

      Finishing Out the '25 Class

      1. I have us at about 80 scholarship players. This count does not include Makenzie McGill who we almost assuredly need to put on scholarship to keep, and Evan Jackson who deleted his transfer portal post and hasn’t posted anything since. Also does not include high school commit Terrence Lewis who still seems in line to sign in February. That being said, we probably could sign a few more HS guys this February. We have space and likely will have more space after spring to bring in more portal guys this summer if needed. 2. Probably will have a better idea on this after spring when we have a better idea of where we still are weaker than we want to be. We have pretty good numbers at each position. 3. There definitely will be more transfers after spring but pure speculation on who. Larry Moore appears to be passed over at tackle, and I doubt he wants to spend his last season of eligibility on the bench. Same for VJ Bronson at DT. At safety I don’t expect Isheem Young to come back but I could be wrong. He came here because of Caponi and we seem to have been recruiting that position as if he isn’t coming back. BJ Allen at safety looks like he is in danger of getting passed up by multiple guys so he could be better off looking elsewhere for more playing time. I think Zach Evans is similarly buried on the depth chart. I‘d be surprised if any of those 5 guys were still here after spring. Those are 5 spots I pretty much expect to open up just based on guys who are sort of the odd men out at their spots, but looks like they’ll be here through spring to have a chance to carve out bigger roles.

      SMU 's New Facility

      Many people on this board, constantly talk about competing with SMU. We should also pay attention to what TCU and other programs are doing, so we have a bar to set for ourselves. Ignoring the competition, gets us where we are now.
