Ever the innovator, Benford has now found a way to get two players for a single scholarship. Now he can go back to subbing in players every minute and it's still the same name on the stat sheet.

Wesley and combs will be freshman. I will be interested to see how they do next season. The majority are JUCOS. Just hoping to turn it around fast I suppose...

Congrats guys!!! You got a very good player. I wish we (Iona) had offered him. He is very tough, has very good hoops and has a knack to be in the right place at the right time. In crunch time he s

What is his height and who does he replace? Colman I am assuming.

Edited... Gaines I am assuming since I started at the first post and worked my way down.

Mohammed Ahmed (Gillette College (WY), SO.): A Junior College prospect, Ahmed’s strength overpowered opponents on both ends of the floor throughout the Elite Camp. On offense, the rising sophomore exhibited terrific footwork in the low-post, escaping defenders with elusive ball-fakes and spin-moves. Around the rim, the 6-8 forward finished with both hands while displaying a capable mid-range jumper. On the defensive end, Ahmed’s quick feet allowed for the forward to pressure ball-handlers on the perimeter while Ahmed’s size contained opposing big men in the paint.

Definitely loosing some height but hopefully gaining some hustle

Honestly, our best bet is just to go small at this point anyways. Especially if you're going after guys with no other offers. 6'9" guys with no other offers are very rarely the players who will help a team turn around a team with among the most unproductive posts in the conference.

Definitely smaller. Especially if we do lose Colman and bring in the other post player mentioned.

Jones, Taylor, Anefiok, Williams, and Voss would be interesting. Very short but they are the top 5 guys. Run a 4-1 motion and protect the paint with a inside 2-3 zone without spreading it out to the perimeter to much.

1st Flash, now Ahmed. We've really opened up the Wyoming JUCO pipeline.

Hey, the Idaho JUCO pipeline slammed shut after things went sour with Casimiro. Gotta salute the staff for making desolate, rural lemonade here.

Hooray for the Equality State!

Interesting -- he is from the Bronx (like the other guy Benford was looking at) but played one year at Gillette and his first Juco year at Miami Dade.

Here are his stats from Miami Dade:

Pretty impressive progress as a 3-point shooter. Went from not attempting any 3s as a freshman to going 22-46 from deep as a sophomore.

Yes, other than his FT's his numbers are pretty impressive. Sure hope he's the kind of guy who can mesh quickly with the team. We need some firepower among other things.

FT's look amazing compared to the other Wyoming Juco...

Flash averaged 3 pts a game, this guy has to be better than Flash. You don't recruit JUCO guys that played like Flash, you recruit JUCO guys to make an immediate impact.

      24/25 MBB Attendance Tracker

      3,715 and what, maybe 200 students (not counting cheer, dance and pep band members), showed up and witnessed a clinical take down of our recent nemesis in the second half as the Mean Green pulled away for a 77-64 victory over FAU. Oops, two years removed from a final four appearance FAU (time flies). In contrast, we had 4,551 show up to see us play FAU last year. We are starting to run out of them (or are we?), but I supposed this week's excuse is the NFL playoffs. We are down 733 or 19.09% compared to the first 11 home games last year and down 1,024 or 24.8% compared to last year's full year average. We have 5 home games left this season. In the final 5-game stretch last year we averaged 4,809 (4,316, 5,689, 5,247, 4,241 and 4,551). In comparison, our highest attended game so far this year is 4,029 (780 less) for Temple. Next home game is UTSA on 2/1/2025. Last year we had 5,247 attend the UTSA game. Can we get that this year? This team deserves better.

      I think UNT Doge needs to look at those funding trails. I’m all about creating more experience environment for our fans. For adult ideas check out the concourse activity in the Thomas and Mack for UNLV games and for the kiddos check out a Texas Legends game in Frisco. It’s nonstop entertainment. Also, how about a supporters group like the Dallas Beer Guardians in Frisco before FCD games. They have an elected Board. They have a membership level as low as $10 for the season. But this group meets religiously before every game and puts on away match watching parties in Dallas and Frisco. The after party at Miss Angeline’s was fun and connecting. Organize this on the front end before the game. Jared would be well served to hire an experience engineering team that scopes successes and simply focuses on engagement initiatives. This is not his forte - he needs a team with some influencers sprinkled in. To heck with those who don’t want to come for whatever reason (some students dormant alumni). Go get the peeps who want to be entertained at the family group and individual level. GMG
