WOW! Hate to see this, but certainly wish Coach Nelson all the very best in his retirement. I thank you for your service to the program and to the Mean Green Nation.

Enjoy the start of your "career" of retirement! Life is great...enjoy it!

Coach Nelson . . . thanks for the work you've done for the North Texas Mean Green. We had what may have been the best D-line in all of C-USA last year, a feat that would have seemed impossible a few years ago. Here's a heartfelt thank you from Mean Green nation, and wishing you all the best!

Here's my immediate concern. He's the D-line coach and that is the glaring hole in this year's recruiting class. Considering that Texas lost THREE defensive linemen commitments when their D-line coach left it makes me a bit nervous.

Right there with ya, but it's worth mentioning that DMac was a lineman himself. I hope that accounts for something?

I too hope it doesn't hurt our efforts at getting Xavier Washington. However, our two commits from DeSoto don't list any other offers right now and you'd like to think we can beat out Texas State if we really want Tillman Johnson, the other d-end we're after.

      I think Floyd is going to be solid at the point. Our backcourt is deep with good shooters. Massey has me really intrigued as he hit the glass and appears to have some hops to him. I think I expected more out of Wright, thinking he was our prized pick up out of the portal. Lorient, even if Hodge says he is the most athletic player he has had during his time here, doesn’t really have a shot and doesn’t go up strong at the rim. I thought Sissoko looked tons better than last year. Better hands, couple of steals and solid play in the paint. He’s not going to be a double double player for us and that’s alright with the scorers around him. Stone still runs to hot. I think in his effort to be our energy/hustle player on defense, it hurts his offensive game. He rushes to shoot or pass and the same dribbling to the basket. How many breaks has he had where he didn’t finish? There is no rhythm to his offensive game and that kills him. He either has to contribute more on offense, or we need to give Cotton and Mason a shot. I don’t know much about the freshman Smith, but he needs to put in some weight and probably get up to the speed of the D1 game. Hope to see some of the youngsters tomorrow night.

      I'll be at The Pit tomorrow, but between my friend group we've got 8 tickets unable to be used. All lower level near the UNT bench - two solos, a pair, and a group of 4. If anyone needs tickets, let me know! Per my ticket rep a ticket for the men's game will also get you into the women's game at 5:30 if you can make it.
