At UNT, where football rules the roost, mention signing day and people immediately think about early February.

Well, the other signing period arrives tomorrow. Its the early period, which is pretty important in the basketball world.

Here is a look at where things stand for UNT:

I chatted with Carter coach Lyndon Love this afternoon to find out what Jeremy Combs plans are. Combs is a 6-7 forward UNT made a big priority in this cycle.

We have four scholarships. I am hoping for a solid juco big and a well rounded Juco shooting guard and two solid freshman which one of which is combs. Looking forward to seeing who. Benford can bring in next year.

We're going to have 7 seniors next year, at least 1 junior in Anefiok, and at least 1 freshman in Wesley after a redshirt year.

I think 2 JUCOs and 2 freshmen would be good. We need freshmen badly but we could also use a JUCO or two so that Anefiok isn't our lone senior in two seasons.

Paper reporting that Combs will, indeed, sign with the Mean Green today. Great get by Coach Benford and company.

In other local news...Arlington is local, right?...Lincoln star Derrick Neal has withdrawn his commitment to UTA and will not sign today...nor will his brother Erick. Both say they are "exploring options" with Derrick maybe signing to play football instead.

And...in a match-up of some interest last night...SFA beat it's old coach and Texas State 64-57 last night in San Marcos.

Best news is that Combs plans to sign today!

There is about a 0 % chance we steal Evans. I still think we sign Jovan Austin. If not tomorrow , then down the road

Where does Austin play? He's a JUCO, right?

And do we have any chance with the Neal twins? Have they actually been recruited by us?

Austin is a Paris JC. He's been on campus more than once. I'm guessing he's out of the picture now w/ the Harris commitment ?

I don't think the Neal twins have been recruited by us in either football or basketball. They seem to want to stay together, even if it's Derrick playing FB & Erick BB. Derrick is a solid football player and is probably making the right choice to stick with that. He's a great hooper, but would have a better shot of going further on the gridiron IMO

Got it. It looks like we're just about filled up if Jalen Jones really is going to transfer here. I wonder how close Carrington Ward is to pulling the trigger.

Combs, Harris, Ward, and Jones would be a decent class. Just still only 1 freshman and no true post but I wouldn't be upset with that class.

I would like to see a post player over ward but that is just me

When are we going to update the pinned threads on this board with the players that have signed/committed for next season?

It's been pinned on the UNT Football Recruiting Board:

I've updated it to include the latest two commits. We are now up to 13. The list shows the date their commit was recorded and links to the discussion about them on the site.

Once we get through the regular football season I will put a copy on the main football board. We just have limited real estate on the main football board right now but you can always check for updated signee info in the Football recruiting section! GMG!

That's great, thanks Harry!

Now, about the basketball recruiting forum and the pinned threads...

That's on me.

Between Treys departure and Hopkins arrival, I lost almost all enthusiasm for the program. NT03 was handling a lot of the recruit and commit info, but 12-20 took a lot of it out of him, too.

If someone else wants to track it, I'm happy to unpin and replace... But as long as we keep signing 8-9 guys to replace 4 seniors, or until Benford either wins or loses his way out of town... I'm not keeping up with it like that anymore.

Fair enough. Can we at least unpin the 2013 stuff?

Also, it just shows how far things have fallen that you lost you passion like this.

I'll cut you some slack since you were one of the what, 1,500(?) in attendance for Nichols.

And, one of two of us in a suit no less! I came over from the Alumni Association Ring Ceremony held that evening. Didn't think tech guy types wore suits. It looked like a pretty nice garb...had that shirt with the stock broker white cuffs and collar shirt. Way cool, man!

Styling at the BB game. Were you in disguise?

For the record Kram means tasty. I try to avoid suits.

      Transfer Portal Hits pre First Responder Bowl

      Because Morris & Cobbs believed they didn't need to. I think McGill, Harris, & Evans are returning, but who knows if Harris or Evans will even be healthy? We added Becks from MOSt, and Hawkins from HS in OK, but who knows what they bring? I don't know that McGill is a starting caliber RB in the AAC. If you think Porter should have been scholarship'd, you're second-guessing Pat. I doubt anyone around here really wants to second-guess Pat's judgement of talent. OR (and this is doubtful), Pat pushed to have Porter 'shiped, but Morris said "no". If that's the case, and Porter goes on to ball-out at UTEP while we struggle in the run game, it's another log on a growing fire under Morris' seat.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      The PAC stands a real chance of becoming the 'Big East of the West', but I think they'll still be fighting to get into the CFP each year with the rest of the G5. MWC obviously is a huge downgrade since they're the conference that got raided. The best thing they have going for them is stability. Outside of AFA and, to a lesser degree, NIU and UNLV, no one has any interest in those schools. AAC did well with the Army pickup. What happens in the next few years under the new commissioner will be important. As a conference, we've scheduled ourselves into a one bid joke like Sun Belt or CUSA. They've gotta figure out some strategy there. For football, it's hard to say we're better or worse off than last year. SMU going to the CFP was a fluke compared with the past 30 years, but I imagine they'll be a stronger program in general than they were in the AAC due to the amount of money and attention the ACC brings. At least while it lasts...

      Mean Green Travel to Tulane for Midweek Matchup

      I started to do "official" game threads almost 20 years ago for the men's games to try and create some order, but I don't mind when others do.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      In terms of the Pac12/MWC tweet above and what they both started with (not the legacy Pac, the WSU and OSU Pac), the Pac12 came out way ahead of the MWC. They need 1 more right? Where do they get it or do they try to add more than one. In terms of the AAC, SMU out and Army In. Love having another service academy as a conference mate and it was probably the best move the conference could make...national recognition and following. The whole Army/Navy game piece is kind of a monkey wrench. Overall, with SMU's performance and getting into the CFP this year makes the loss of SMU a bit more that the addition of Army (at least this year). Let's see how the next couple years pan out.

      Like a lot of complaints, it’s probably a vocal few.
