So funny people compare players that never played each other in their respective primes as a valid comparison

- unless you're the opposing QB, CJ👀

Wow. Just Wow.

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.

Wow - Wisconsin.

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. 😛

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.

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)

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

But???

🤔👌 🤘🏻🤘🏼🤘🤘🏽🤘🏾🤘🏿

Did that ball not go over the right field scoreboard???

I don’t need Tinney batting any higher than 6th right now.

83-60 Horns! Coach rested the starters almost the entire second half.

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.

Thanks for putting in the call Trouper 😂

FINAL (8): Texas 14, USC Upstate 2

Walked it off!

Grand salami for Anthony Impact Jr! 🤘

Pack could end it here

Was pretty much the entire offense for Westlake tonight scoring like 29points. When he builds up a head of steam, he's good at getting to the hole. Had an off game from three going like 2 for 8, but teams have been face guarding him all season. Westlake finally just let him bring the ball up the court which allowed him to build speed getting to the hole...at that point, he started to take over. However, not sure how much he's going to contribute next year. He's gotta get faster & improve his footspeed. Right now, when he squares up, he's not super effective with his first step to the hole and doesn't exactly blow past people. It also remains to be seen if he can defend D1 guys next year. Like I said, he needs major footspeed work in order to compete at the D1 level. We know he can shoot at a high level though but just may need a couple years of D1 seasoning.
