North Texas lands Matthew Stone

One of the top shooting guards in America is headed to play for the 2020 Conference USA champions.

Three-star shooting guard Matthew Stone out of Kingfisher (Okla,) High has committed to the North Texas Mean Green.

"I felt so comfortable right away with them. ," Stone told Rivals.com. " Talking to coach B (Matt Braeuer) he just had extreme confidence in me and how I would fit in with them when he was talking to me about what they do and how they play.

"Then being able to talk to coach Mac (Grant McCasland) more about it just gave me even more confidence about playing for North Texas and the way they will play me. I think myself, Coach Mac and Coach B have the same characteristics. They see how hard I play and I see how much effort they put into coaching. That fit is amazing."

A hard nosed guard with a great blend of skill, athleticism and ability to get the job done on both ends of the floor, Stone was drawn to North Texas by the Mean Green staff's belief he can help them early and willingness to push him.

"They will play me as a two guard. They think I can come in right away as a freshman and play some really good minutes. I really liked how they emphasized that. I'm ready to work and really listen to and follow them to get my game together and help for the next level."

The No. 50 ranked shooting guard in America, Stone is North Texas' first commitment from the class of 2021.
