If you're looking for something that gives hope of Swain returning to Texas, he wasn't listed on this CBS Sports mock draft, which was published Friday.

A mock draft from USA Today, which was published before Thursday's Sweet 16 loss to Purdue, had Swain mocked 24th overall to the Denver Nuggets. Here's the analysis: "After transferring from Xavier to Texas during the offseason and then leading his team to the Sweet 16, Dailyn Swain has become one of the more intriguing breakout players in college basketball. The All-SEC forward is versatile and contributes a little bit of everything for the Longhorns on both sides of the ball, scoring well both in the paint and on fastbreaks. Another element that is notably compelling is that Swain is efficient one-on-one in isolation against his defenders."

ICYMI, Jordan Pope scored 12 points on 4-for-10 shooting (4-for-9 on 3-pointers), grabbed two rebounds and recorded one assist in 33 minutes of Thursday's 79-77 loss to Purdue on a broken foot. This is Pope after the game talking about playing through the injury:

After Thursday's 14-0, run-rule victory in seven innings, the Longhorns go for the series win against the Sooners tonight. The game is on the SEC Network with the first pitch set for 7 p.m.

We we spoiled with a great first game, now we gotta sit through a forty minute ahh whipping.

How many visits will this make Hank?

In the WNBA it's the wing and four spot right now that's carries you. Booker should be a diet Napheesa until she gets her sea legs under her in the league. Crazy how different the two leagues are.

Blakes and Galvan missed two wide open three point shots to tie the game. The Irish advance.

In the women's game, guard play is the difference between winning and losing.

Last night was fun. Let’s do that again! 😂. Also, I don’t know if I’ve seen a ball leave the Disch with the speed and fury of Borbas HR.

Hannah Hidalgo is nice though

I don't like Vanderbilt. Their coach is a Geno protégé and very cocky too.

The discussions on Kanu are interesting. There really isn’t anything in his history to show that he was under consideration as a high draft pick. I’m not sure he has an overwhelming trait and his production is not particularly special. He hasn’t played a huge number of snaps either. I certainly have no inside information on what his draft grade was. In looking at PFF, I don’t see anything that has him inside the top 10 in grading. You are correct in that we played more difficult competition with respect to teams, but the OUs and OSUs were better defensively than offensively. They do show that in our 3 losses he only had 1 pressure. I wouldn’t say PFF skews things, but there certainly should be context applied to the information. Our opponents had Simmons and Hill to contend with whereas others may have been able to focus on the interior Dline. Overall, we have the personnel to be impactful, but it needs to happen. Kanu and Watson have received a bit more hype than what has been earned. They should be better, but we certainly need more impact plays from them.

Man the refs are letting Notre Dame maul Vandy

Schloss didn’t mislead the Aggies. There are no coaches that really want to be there. The Aggies don’t want to hear it. Truth hurts.

I was in company gym today and Aggy was wearing a Come and Take It shirt. Take what - I’m not sure. We’ve already stolen their soul. My friend suggested it must have been printed before we took Schloss. 🙂

Schloss was fleeing from a boss everyonr despised (much like Buzz Williams did a few months later), and going to a much preferred, higher pedigreed blue blood program to work for a boss he already had a close working relationship with. This happens every single day in corporate America. By contrast, Will Wade got fired for paying players and lying to his AD / investigators about it at LSU. He eventually took another P4 job at NC State, quit via email after one season, and went straight back to LSU to work for the exact same boosters with whom he conspired to illegally pay players and mislead investigators years earlier…except this time the boosters got rid of the old AD (S.Woodward) who was in the way last go around. Now, they’ve fully enabled Will Wade to be even more corrupt this time! Other than those pesky facts, the situations are very analogous.

He was away from the team because of something that happened off the court.

pulled same crap on matas

Couldn’t agree more. I think Kanu is gonna be a monster this year.

Is this bulletin board material for Hero Kanu? Believe Hero is near the top 10 in PFF grades for returning IDL and he did it against some stiff competition. Some of those IDL in their top 10 are playing against a weaker schedule than Texas. PFF has gotten better but they are not perfect and the weaker matchups can skew ratings and make it harder to compare vs players with more challenging matchups. Regardless, Muschamp and Baker should have our IDL rotation playing at a pretty high level. Looking forward to seeing the development of January, Watson, Sharma, Terry and Charles. Believe a more fit Geffrard at NT will perform what he is asked to do at a high level if he can take the next step and get his pad level down. Overall, the TX IDL should play at a high level due to talent, further development, coaching, scheme and a complementary rotation allowing our top IDL players to stay fresher and go 100%. NT: Geffrard, Watson, Sharma January DT: Kanu, January, Watson, Terry, Charles, Johnson, Carlton
