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…. 🤔

Terrific. I'm a big, big fan. Plays under control, but at the same time can play fast. Has the feel, knowledge and knack for getting to FT line for 6-1.5/6-2 guy. Had two straight attacks and would have been FT's Texas was very structured offensively today. They are teaching all these guys the reads on offense this summer. Install on O and D

Did you see anything that concerned you today?

@Gerry HamiltonHow does Isiah Johnson look? I’m the most excited about him a three level scorer who can also pass at a high level!

Texas No. 4 here ... https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/49491209/mens-ncaa-basketball-2026-27-way-too-early-top-25-rankings-biggest-nonconference-games I have Texas anywhere from 4 to 9 range ... see if these 22's can transfer ... If Dillon Mitchell returns to St. John's, they jump Texas for me.

Live look at LSU’s new spokesman.

6% body fat at 255 ... looks tremendous physically. Strong and fit. His game ... you can tell he's working to be more patient on offensive end. Defensively won't truly be tested until games this season. This was a designed summer workout

top 10 level team. How much Austin Goosby and Marcus Spears Jr. ascend throughout the season will be key to the ceiling

An ass kicking level summer workout

Who impressed with their shooting? Any surprises physically?

Probably some kind of pyramid scheme

What looks different about Matas’ game/frame right now?

@Gerry Hamilton from your eyes how does this team look

Was it a good practice?

Ask me questions about today and I will answer them

All media was told not to write a practice report … so OTF is not Let’s do this … ask me questions
