No. 83 - Mean Green All-Conference Selections Since 2000
From Lance Dunbar to Brad Kassell, Brandon Kennedy to Craig Robertson, North Texas dominated the all-conference teams in its first full decade of Division I-A play. As a matter of fact, the Mean Green placed 83 players on all-league teams from 2000-10.
It's easy to forget the success of the 2000's, but North Texas owned the early All-Sun Belt squads. NT placed 14 players on the 2001 All-Sun Belt rosters (eight first-teamers), and followed that with an SBC record 16 in 2002 (10 first-teamers).
North Texas registered the league's first four Coach of the Year awards, and three of the first four league MVP's (Brandon Kennedy twice, Jamario Thomas in '04) and Defensive Player of the Year nods (Kassell, Kennedy and Chris Hurd).
North Texas owns three Sun Belt Freshman of the Year honorees (Ja'Mel Branch, Thomas, Giovanni Vizza) and three Newcomer of the Year winners (Kevin Galbreath, Dylan Lineberry and Aaron Weathers).
