However he is solid. Im sorry no 5 star recruit is going to pass up UT A&M Texas Tech Baylor SMU or TCU to go to North Texas.



Guess we should ask Houston, Providence, Butler, Wichita St., Boston U , VCU, and Utah how they recruit top 100 players.

More specifically, I guess Houston doesn't have same problem UNT has with all those other schools. The bottom line is, I'm not picking on you, but being at UNT isn't an insurmountable handicap to recruiting great. It is what it is, but you act like he's recruiting kids to the University of Pyongyang.

So to recapitulate, he recruited some good players 20 years ago and hasn't approached that level since.

Houston hasnt done shite since Hakeem and Clyde and was one of the first schools to actively endorse a freestyle type of play. Dont know why they are here.

Utah


has a solid history in basketball once again not UNT

Wichita St.


Yeah they have really blown up the Rivals top 100 over the years

quote:

Butler,


has one of the top young coaches in the nation. We are talking about a guy who might be the next coach at duke. Not a comparison that Jones is going to live up to.

Once again Jones is a solid back up plan for a school that has potential but been wildly inconsistant for 20+ years.
