Targets

Is he a SLTH, or is he a dirty(good) recruiter? If he is a SLTH, then you may lose him to Nebraska or Iowa State in a year or so...

north texas was at least nominally a finalist for tony mitchell.

hmm...that's a little odd. Still SLTHy in my mind...

Still curious what SLTH stands for.

As far as Tony Mitchell goes... JJ had us in on him legitimately. He's done a good job of forging relationships with kids and their families; a lot of guys who go to Power 7 conferences come back our way as transfers. Collin Dennis, George Odufuwa... There have been rumors swirling for two years now that J'mison Morgan could be transferring back home. Mitchell was very, very close to signing on with us right from the start. If it weren't for Phil Pressey, I think we might have landed him.

One of our recruiting gurus that follows Texas high school hoops insanely closely told us that Tony Mitchell's mom apparently still has a soft spot for JJ and North Texas. At Pinkston's senior night (team colors: gold and black, just like Missouri), she showed up wearing a "North Texas Basketball" shirt and green warm-ups/sweatpants.

If you're wondering whether we're playing dirty in recruiting... We don't have the budget for it.

If you're just bitter that Mitchell cut you guys from the list and kept us as finalists... It's probably because he heard you guys were out trying to sign the sloppy seconds from Sun Belt bottom feeders. You've got FIU stank on your recruiting class; I can't blame the kid for wanting to avoid that.

SLTH = Solid long-term hire

Term of derision popular around these parts since we fired the definition of the term in Jim Wooldridge a few years back, yet still see numerous programs making the same mistake elsewhere (ISU, Nebraska, Colorado, etc.).  We mock their misery.

Thanks.

When we tear down the walls and gates around Manhattan, I promise to do all I can to make sure you get spared.

Greek-
Just so you know, when we beat you and we start chanting, "We own Texas" it is not directed at you. We like to remind UT that we own everything that they think they control. Tia

I'm not sure what SLTH stands for, but JJ is pretty much the closest thing to the second coming you can imagine. No shady recruiting, no lax standards. Twice during this 4 year run, he's suspended or outright cut from the team essential players over disciplinary issues. One of the reasons never even made the news, so it's not like he was doing it for PR reasons or to avoid criticism... If he'd let the guy slide, nobody would have ever known the player had done anything wrong in the first place.

sounds terrible  you poor bastard

Auburn just fired their SLTH Lebo.  The stories in the paper sounded exactly like Woolridge -- 6 years, no real success, player defections, etc.

Johnny this is Ames, Ames this is Johnny.

Whoa there, speed racer...if JJ's gonna move it's gonna be up.  Up, like West Virgina.
