Do we still only play 7-8? 😝
This is what I have. This was tough. We’ve had some pretty great players. Lorient is more potential that straight up production.
Starters:
Javion Hamlet
Rubin Jones
Aaron Scott
Thomas Bell
Zach Simmons
Reserves:
Ryan Woolridge
Tylor Perry
James Reese
Brennon Lorient
About Ousmane
Too good to leave off:
Deng Geu
Kai Huntsberry
Moulaye Sissoko
Jason Edwards
Why put players under contract when in the current form, you can just dispose of those who aren't performing every season? Scholarships are currently renewed on a yearly basis. Putting players under contract would mean you'd be looking at deals worth 2+ years. What happens when a guy just isn't working out but you're on the hook for another year so the scholarship can't be used for somebody else? I know you could say with "NIL," you could just give enough to cover tuition and some extra but I doubt the boosters would want to pay that much for an unknown player just because a scholarship is used up on another bad player.
Reality is, coaches hate when players leave after a great season but those same coaches are quick to push guys into the portal if they're not working out. I'd be all for contracts at our level, though. Contracts mean you can include buyouts so if you really hit on a prospect, I'd love for UNT and our NIL to get some money back for developing a good player.
If you were given ten picks to build a roster (so, a starting five and five off the bench) made up exclusively of players from the McCasland/Hodge era…who ya got?
