Mean Green

UNT women's basketball coach Shanice Stephens continued to make headway in rebuilding her team this week when she landed her third recruit since arriving on campus. The latest to hop on board is Jasmine Godbolt, a forward from Garland Naaman Forest.

Godbolt will be a senior this fall and has pretty impressive credentials, including being named first-team All-District 10-5A and all-region last year.

I caught Godbolt on the phone in between games with her AAU team that is at a tournament in New Orleans this week.

Check out tomorrow's paper for the full story and be sure to post your thoughts on the blog. What is your impression of UNT's recruiting class thus far under Stephens?

We have an interesting debate going on the Mean Green Blog over Todd Dodge and his public comments that he is holding UNT to the promise it made him to have a stadium by 2010 when he was hired.

Zach T. weighed in with the following today:

"Here's the funny thing, hypocritical really...Darrell Dickey got accused of whining when he spoke about the need for better facilities; Dodge mentions it, and people praise him. Yes, my alma mater's football fans are indeed that stupid and superficial...with memory banks equal to that of sheep. Wake me up when Dodge has four consecutive bowl teams. To me, a coach going 2-10 then running around giving his opinion about the stadium, etc...please. He's the moron who came in saying there'd be no excuses. Gee, things sure do look different from the drivers seat, eh, Todd? Dope."

It's an interesting point. Darrell Dickey often said it was tough to win at UNT because of the overall situation and was blasted for that.

Perhaps my favorite Dickey quote ever went something like this after practice was called of for the day due to rain.

"We were going to go practice in our indoor facility, but we were afraid the players would get hurt running into the lockers."

Insert cymbal crash here.

Lets keep this going. Post your thoughts on the blog on Dodge going public with UNT saying it would have a stadium by 2010 when it hired him and whether is he getting a free pass for saying the same things about UNT's facilities as Dickey.
