I don’t doubt that he can be, but more than his blocking needs to improve.

The ones that were listed to get back would be Smothers, Gefridge, Mascoe and Cryer. Those are about the only realistic ones. Guys like Biles are likely going to be high draft picks. Maybe Mascoe tries his hand, same with Gefridge. My take is you need to figure out your G, C, G through the portal because no one Flood has developed there has turned out well. You could go the WR route but should we not trust some of the guys we've spent money on already? Unless it's an actual top tier pick I'm not sure it's worth it, imo. TE is a need. Townsend is good but injury prone, Winston is okay but he's more of a tweener. Shannon has the size but he's not going to magically have a great 5th year. Masunas coming back would be great but he's not a real threat in the passing game. Potentially some S help. Even CB if there is one there. LB you could grab one but I'm not sure if they want to if Cryer comes back and you have Okpala and Cummings. Maybe Atkinson figures it out? Definitely need a better P. Getting Spetic back would be huuuuge. Been a nice surprise this year. I was going to say RB, if Smothers decides to go pro. But I like Cooper/Terry combination (personally) but there are some good options out there. Really like the RB out of Duke but that's just dreaming not reality. Not sure they need to go after Edge/DT. Really like those rooms but if an elite talent shows up.....

He is a baller any way you slice it. He needs to improve on his blocking.

Most likely not

Chicago State 81-62 at Cal Baptist .. they score one again for the KenPom... up from the 340's to 311 LOL

Yeah, we probably should have

UC-Santa Barbara is the mid-major you do not want to see in the tournament as 3-14 game. They can shoot from several spots, and have multiple high-major level players.

That would be marvelous - good player, great leader.

I'm thinking about someone this size, Dave:

Thanks Hank! Dang, more than I thought, and there are some (Spetic, for example, gimme my solid kicker so I don't have to worry about it) that I really want back.

If Biles doesn't go pro, something horrible has happened.

Wait Cryer could come back?

We need to bring in at least 4 OL starters We don’t have ANY above average players coming back next year None. Nada. Zip.

Hah! Seppo is what Aussies call Americans. Seppo = Septic Tank = Yank. Don't look for too much logic.

That is ALWAYS a thing. It’s why most of the time people like to kick onside kicks to your own sideline and throw sideline passes your own way. Way different with replay but that’s how it used to be

Love that they explained how it was definitely a fumble VERY clearly and fanbases from all other 15 SEC schools (with some Tech and Baylor fans sprinkled in for good measure) are still whining, crying, and gnashing their teeth

How about our Aussie? She stepped up big time.

Hero will play.

Thank goodness. Thanks Hank.

Just to be clear, I didn't verify it or anything. But that's the second reference to it I've seen. Both supplied by Gerry.

Do you guys not promote your own content on here? Not trying to be a jerk - not this time at least. I sincerely don't know how it works. Jeff and Gerry do my favorite basketball interviews of anyone ever that cover Texas basketball. Gerry has always been one of my favorites going back almost 30 years, but Jeff brings plenty to the table himself. Here they are interviewing Austin Goosby after the 3-0 start as we head into the Baylor game on Sunday:

Wow…and thanks for the info! That is an insane stat…

As opposed to what? What college basketball used to be? College basketball has been the slimiest college sport for the last 30 years. Ever since Michael Jordan demonstrated the endorsement of one person could be worth billions to shoe companies, and they spent the next several decades cultivating relationships with promising players, As opposed to football? Same kinds of things are going on there. Frankly, we see it in other sports where donors are willing to contribute major dollars to help build a team. Women's basketball, softball, baseball, and volleyball all have plenty of 6 digit earners on teams. And it's only going to grow. I was never a supporter of allowing NIL in the first place. I know it was unfair to student athletes, but there was never going to be a realistic way of enforcing it to where it wasn't going to be pay for play. Well, the Supreme Court decided that issue. So now we either play by the rules as they're written by the courts, or we become like Stanford that is finding it harder and harder to be relevant in any of those sports when they used to be highly competitive in all of them. I'm not trying to talk you into buying back your Germania club basketball tickets. I don't care if you ever go to a game or watch a game ever again. But we finally have a coach where the players on the roster are actually going to get better, both over the course of the year and as they move through the program. It's been a long time since we could say that. Even Barnes wasn't as good as Miller at developing players on the offensive end and for the NBA. Decrying this Texas program as a group of mercenaries is both a naive point of view regarding the cesspool college basketball has always been, as well as a bit of a shame since we finally have a head coach whose teams are going to embody the hustle, team work, team first attitude - and get better over the course of the year while doing it - that we've been missing for a long time.

Love it. Close calls or wrong calls go against us. Crickets. IN our favor. Congressional hearings, Special prosecutor appointed and national talking heads go nuts.
