George Mason guard Vertrail Vaughns commits to UNT

[Harry]

The more Vertrail Vaughns thought about all that North Texas has to offer over the last few days, the more coming home to the Dallas-Fort Worth area made sense.

The former Mesquite standout spent four seasons at George Mason and enjoyed some great times at that school before deciding to transfer for his senior year. The 6-foot-2-inch guard had plenty of suitors, but none could offer what UNT could in terms of both his basketball future and his personal life.

Vaughns committed to UNT on Wednesday.

“My gut feeling led me there,” Vaughns said of UNT. “I liked it there and it gives me a chance to be close to my family. I feel like it will be a nice environment.”

Vaughns averaged 5.0 points in 15.3 minutes per game off the bench last season. He started all 33 games for the Patriots as a sophomore in the 2011-12 campaign, when he averaged 8.8 points.
