  1. Past hour
  2. He will play 15-20 mins freshman year Tate Sage at Iowa is a comparable player look Pryce Sandfort at Nebraska… Bo will be better than he was as a freshman The game opens up and changes so much for guys when surrounded by other DI/high-major players AAU is not a great basketball product at all in terms of pure basketball, but it’s easily the best evaluation tool for prospects by fans, media and especially college coaches. Bo was a top 10 leading scorer on the Adidas circuit at 21 per game, led in 3-point % at 52.8% and looks like in different player in a faster pace game with 3-4 other DI guys playing with/around you IMO, Bo will be an overseas pro after 4 years at Texas. We shall see if he can ascend beyond it. If he’s a 42-44% three point dead eye at 6-6 in the SEC over his career … he will get some good opportunities Purdue HC was going to play him very similar to Fletcher Loyer if he had picked them. Virginia absolutely loved him, and they play fast
  3. 42 k’s with 3 walks according to my count. Dude numbers!
  4. What a badass!! How many K’s does he have this year?!? Feels like he’s been a K machine!!!
  5. A 2020 peer ranking of faculty strength across departments in 67 American universities, public and private, had Texas at 14, overall. Eleven of the 67 schools have all academic departments ranked 30th or better in the nation. The private elites in this group are Stanford, MIT, Princeton, Harvard, Columbia, and Cornell; the public universities in the group are UC Berkeley, Michigan, Wisconsin, UCLA, and UT Austin. IIRC, 15 departments were ranked for the metric. Some of the privates would argue that their undergrads are exposed to their vaunted faculty, and that in the publics one has to be in an Honors program to avoid instruction by junior faculty and T.A.s. Two of my daughters are alums and were not in Plan II and they did see "vaunted" faculty members as early as their second years. But more important, faculty rankings are based on publications, not teaching ability, so this "debate" really gets into the weeds pretty quickly.
  6. Today
  7. So funny people compare players that never played each other in their respective primes as a valid comparison
  8. This ranking and the London Times world rankings have a different perspective than US News or Niche rankings. Graduate schools are extremely important to the world rankings. That contrasts with the ranking of undergraduate schools upon which US News and Niche focus. Texas has ranked as high as #29 in world rankings in one past year. An obvious difference in the rankings: Princeton is always US News #1, but never in the top world group. Princeton has no professional schools - no medical school, no business school, no pharmacy school, no law school. The great US public universities of which Texas is one are all well endowed in breadth and depth of graduate and professional schools. They usually score among the top fifty both on US undergrad rankings and world rankings based on metrics like peer reviewed publications and patents produced. The consensus that Texas is an elite academic university is widely shared by employers, peer universities, the press, and the public. As one result, it is ever more difficult to be admitted as a freshman - and even automatic admission [requiring inclusion in the top 5% of one's HS graduating class] does not guarantee admission to Cockrell or McCombs, both now accepting fewer than 10% of applicants. I have twin 17 year old granddaughters one of whom wants engineering and one of whom wants marketing, and both want to go to Texas. They are both in the top 5% of their junior class and both worry that they will be admitted to Texas but not to Cockrell and McCombs, respectively. You may remember a time when it was less competitive. I certainly do.
  9. Agreed. I saw him play one game this season, Austin High and I was a bit disappointed. I was told post game it was his worst showing of the season. I'll keep my expectations in check and hope that Gerry is more accurate with his projections than I am. 😛
  10. Add this to the fact that I never saw MJ on his knees begging for a foul call. I don't remember MJ doing that stupid flopping dance even when there was no contact. As far as just small forwards go, I'd take Bird over LeBron.
  11. He will contribute a lot IMO basketball IQ and perimeter shooting (he will be a 38-42% career three-point shooter in college IMO) There are a lot of players playing high-major basketball in his area code athletically … truly knowing how to play (spacing, cutting with timing, understanding how to play smartly a step defensively, making the correct play with the correct timing, floor spacer shooter)
  12. For reference - non-private, power 4 schools in the top 100: #9 - Michigan #20 - Wisconsin #33 - Ohio State #37 - Texas #45 - USC (Southern Cal) #47 - Virginia #80 - Washington #81 - Penn State #85 - Michigan State #87 - Utah #91 - Arizona State #95 - Maryland
  13. Did that ball not go over the right field scoreboard???
  14. I don’t need Tinney batting any higher than 6th right now.
  15. 83-60 Horns! Coach rested the starters almost the entire second half.
  16. I was thinking base knock, not grand slam. I hit the submit button on the comment a split second before I heard the radio call. Broken Clocks and Blind Squirrels.
  17. Thanks for putting in the call Trouper 😂
