As a late addition, I'm not sure Worthy was even on my radar in 2021. JT Sanders was the 5 star and was the most anticipated.

It seems like they've enticed donors who are interested in a return (which you don't get with NIL) to back an advance to the school. The school is counting on a big enough increase in media rights five years from now to pay back the investors. The problem as I see it is that they are paying out from a boost in rights later that they will not be able to put into the program. For you old Popeye cartoon fans, this is Wimpy agreeing to pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today. It's possible that they could keep this going, but there is a chance of a reckoning long after the people who put this into place are gone.

Kiffin is at 40-50 million , Wade is most likely 20+ , Jay Johnson is 6.5-8 somewhere. Just on those 3 is 66 and the low end and 80+ on the high end. With only 20.5 per year for rev share. Thats 40-60 million to push through the CSC. LSU holds weight but I highly doubt they can push that much through. So either A. Some players are not going to get paid what they’re owed or B. they are skirting the rules HEAVILY

Moscona is a clown. All he does is tote the water for lsu.

I wish nothing but bad luck to LSU and a shiny new belt to ass for them once Texas comes to Baton Rouge

Every day that Royal stays with us drives the LSU Swampers crazy. All their so called Insiders said he wouldn't take his OV here. Mom had to make him haha. Then flipping on his Birthday etc. Now it's will will get him by December lol . I love seeing them squirm. Seems their Brewster momentum is gone as well. I'm not naive, they will hound Royal forever.And he could flip of course. The pressure will only get crazier. But so far so good.👍

They've recruited him hard as well. Could make a late push.

My top 25 preseason list right now ... with understanding things could change if the 2022's get eligible: 1. Florida 2. Duke 3. Illinois - David Mirkovic has to come back from broken foot/surgery July 31 4. St. John's - if they get Dillon Mitchell back. 5. Michigan State 6. UConn 7. Texas 8. Arizona 9. Tennessee 10. Arkansas 11. Louisville 12. USC - big man just got injured, but young depth is quality 13. Michigan 14. Virginia 15. Miami 16. Vanderbilt 17. Alabama 18. Missouri 19. Houston 20. Gonzaga - was top 10'ish level before the PG porked Few 21. Kentucky 22. UCLA 23. Kansas 24. Iowa State 25. North Carolina Just missed: Indiana Villanova Nebraska Purdue Arizona State

There was a charge taking drill lol

Learning how to draw fouls without flopping on every shot?

Pope definitely undervalued as a floor spacer. Agree 100% ... BTW Texas A&M trying to get Jordan Pope (They may not get Bryson Warren eligible). He was a floor spacing initiator for sure! Not going to get in paint and create rotations Let's see Johnson play this year. I actually think Johnson will be a better pro long term. He's two inches taller, longer arms and has all the same three level ability.

OKC Head coach and staff member's were in attendance today.

That was the Texas team's first practice in Moody Center all summer. All the transfers and freshman first time shooting and working out in Moody

As described above, if he does not step it up he might be first string portal.

One thing I always say to keep in mind on 3-point shooting ... The last five National Champions shot between 36.5% and 35.3% from 3 for the season. No great shooting teams since Baylor from 3. Texas was 35.5% last year

I really liked Pope and his ability to hit some big three's but he was so limited breaking down a defense without a ball screen. Is Augustine too high of a comp for Johnson?

Who couldn’t see this coming

It's on par with 3-4 others. My goal this season is to be a top 2 seed. If you are on the 2/3 seed line, and are 3 ... okay too. It's damn hard to get to a Final Four, so I don't go there. Get me to that seed line area mentioned, and see what happens. If you had me list teams right now (still have to wait to see what happens with 2022's), I think there are a lot of really good teams and Texas is on the list: Florida, Duke and Illinois - should be No. 1 seeds if healthy UConn, Michigan State, Tennessee, Texas, Arizona, Arkansas, St. John's, Louisville and USC likely my next group. Virginia, Michigan, Alabama, Miami, Vanderbilt, Missouri the 3rd group.

I’m very aware! I just thought it was hilarious you posted that and I popped on over there and they have a full report talking about the drills ran, etc. We all know OTF is the go to… get Paramount plus added to your membership and I think you might shut down Horns 247 COMPLETLEY!!! LoL

I was more concerned about high turnovers, bad passes, overall sloppy play. Also if the effort didnt seem there.

Not supposed to. Just ask Q's There is nothing you will not have already learned if you follow my summer reports here.

After watching today Gerry, is this the most excited you have ever been for a Texas basketball season to start? Do you think they can be a legit Final Four contender?

Nothing I didn't already know from sources. Ceiling will be determined by freshmen growth over the first 20 games of the season. What doesn't show up today is ... Have to hit 74% from the FT line and I believe Texas will be 35.5%'ish from three this season. Neither of those were going to be judged in a sctructured workout. And I would say this importantly ... any media member that tries to judge how a team will shoot the three off one workout, they are basketball dumb.

Interesting…. Horns 247 has a full practice report up…. 🤔
