Mean Green Blog

UNT landed its most important recruit for 2008 on Sunday when Paris Junior College power forward Eric Tramiel committed to play for the Mean Green.

Tramiel was a first-team NJCAA All-American, the Region XIV regular season and tournament MVP and was a member of the All-NJCAA national tournament team. He averaged 15.4 and 6.8 rebounds a game in the regular season and blew up when it came to recruiting in the postseason.

East Carolina, Penn State, Minnesota, Drake, Murray State and New Orleans all offered Tramiel a scholarship. That's some pretty good company for UNT to be in.

UNT assistant coach and former Paris JC head coach Bill Foy recruited Tramiel.

For more on Tramiel, including quotes from UNT's latest recruit and Paris JC head coach Ross Hodge, see tomorrow's edition of the Denton Record-Chronicle.

And be sure to check back on the blog later when I will have more on UNT's search for a new women's basketball coach.
