I just remember how excited everyone was when he committed. I remember how impressed we all were with his play as a true freshman, he was spectacular in the games that I saw. He seemed to be a good teammate and liked to have fun. He played with style and you were always excited when he had the ball in his hands.

It just doesn't seem right that he wouldn't finish out here his senior year. I know this has to be a bitter pill for his teammate and friend Jordan Williams.

I am sad that he is leaving the program but I wish him well. He will be missed.

He definitely has talent, and I would rather have a 100% healthy and committed CJ compared to anyone else we can roll out, but at this point I would rather get a look at a new guy rather than another half hearted awkward CJ/Benford no chemistry season.

On the bright side, we are going to basically see a brand new team this year.

I don't think any player has really had chemistry with Benford, and I'm certain I have no confidence that Benford will be able to turn it around this season or the next, or any other season.

Against full D1 schools?

Hell, you know me. I'm not smart enough to wait until the full schedule is released.

(This is a joke. No more betting for charity).

I expect Chris to be immediately impactful, wherever he winds up, since his coach will probably realize he has a Russell Westbrook-type, shoot-first PG, and tailor the offense accordingly.

Question for you all:

Which would you rather have step into Chris' empty starting PG spot?

1. Todd Eaglin - http://www.meangreensports.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/041614aaa.html

2. Trey Norris - http://www.goyotes.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/trey_norris_820067.html

Remember when just about everyone was on board with losing Norris for Hardwick? "Hey, if we're going to be big-time, this is the kind of move we have to make!" There were a handful of us who were very much concerned with that move.

Now, we have neither, and a huge hole to fill at the most important position on the floor.

The reigns are now firmly in the hands of Todd Eaglin. God Speed Mr. Eaglin, & forgive me for doubting. I'm pulling for you man.

I honestly think we will win ten (regardless of schedule)

Shock of the century that you think the team will win...

Ten games.... I think that is a safe call.

I think it should be wins against D1 teams. No padding the stats with DII or NAIA schools.

Just about everyone schedules a d2 opponent throughout the year. Not just as an exhibition, but as part of their schedule. Johhny would regularly being in one or two division 2 schools a year.... Why suddenly are we against having a d2 school. I think we should always start the season with a d2 opponent at home. Get off to a 1-0 start.

My memory of Chris Jones? Showboating moves that led to frequent turnovers.... him failing his classes and being ineligible to play.........and now him quitting the team his senior year.

I'll never forgive he or Jordan for screwing up our last realistic shot at anything his freshman year...To me its less about him leaving and more about Benny f-ing this thing up to the point that kids would rather give up D1 athletics than be anywhere near his stupid ass.

      Is this what an “offensive genius” looks like?

      The defense was disastrous last night but stop with this "offense did enough to win" crap. A 3 and out and interception in the first 2 drives is not doing enough to win. Were it not for a defensive stop after the onside kick and a Porter 79 yard run, we'd have been down 21-0 and counting. Yes, the defense needs to do more but what high powered offense puts up 7 in a half? This team did the same crap last year. No offense in the first half and then when we put up garbage time points people say "look at the offense." The offense is bordering bad. Tulsa put up 46 on UTSA. Texas State put up 49 and even Rice put up 29. Just to show you where our "high powered offense" stands.

      ***OFFICIAL UNT vs. UTSA IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      Atrocious in "all 3 phases" (that onside kick was a film study discovery by UTSA) but E Morris is just a horrible game manager. Just stupid decisions on multiple levels. I wish we weren't in the bowl hunt so Caponi could be fired if at least as a symbolic action to show the rest of the staff (minus Cobbs) they need to step it up a bunch. To the decision making, it's all been said. The timeout at 2nd and 16 with 49 seconds to go when most offenses would just let the clock run out to close the half, not taking reasonable field goal attempts early on, poor playcalling (honestly surprised a screen didn't get intercepted), these things fall on Eric Morris. Just garbage level game management. It's like he's playing a video game where there's no real consequences. Time of possession was about 39 to 21 in UTSA's favor. I know Porter had huge runs but UTSA also had huge plays. Why is it that others are capable of sustaining drives and eating clock but our "elite" offense can't do so? Defenses aside, you'd think our supposed top notch offense could be more consistent. I know our defense needs to make stops more consistently but anybody please tell me why our offense isn't capable of having some 6 or 7 minute scoring drives? Morris needs to relax on the pace of game. Just idiotic at this point.
