For those wondering … my OnTexasBasketball in-state rankings for 2027 post TABC Marcus Spears Jr. has the highest NBA upside down the line. Dawson Battie is what I call a “Final Four” player. Al Horford’lite Reese Alston visited Overtime Elite last week. Second Baptist fighting to keep him Im going to expand the state rankings to top 20 after July … a terrific class in-state right now, prior to guys leaving for national programs over time. Dynamic Prep should keep three of the best in state, Richardson will finish HS at Friendswood … so hopefully the state doesn’t lose as many in this cycle

I know Chase Richardson very well being a former Friendswood High player that is very close to the program. Hes ascending quickly as a player/PG right now. Won’t surprise me if he ends up being a top 50-60 player in the class. There are 25’ish high-majors watching him in Rock Hill next week. A lot of head coaches I’ve watched Avery Huston multiple times since the spring. Love where he is headed as a player. He should be a top 100 prospect (maybe top 75 or higher) in time.

I'll root against him. Phuck him. Players that go out of their way, like Petersen, to disrespect Texas I consider to be a**holes. I hope him and his phaggot dyed hair freeze in Indiana.

One of the few times I disagree with you. Although it's not a big deal it's odd behavior by the kid. We'll see how he does in that system with their average QBs. Not a kid I'd recruit through the whistle or accept in the portal for that move. Alright I'll smoke grass.

Agreed but glad there was a thread about it. I think pretty much every longhorns fan will root for the finleys even at notre Dame. Just odd to toss a Texas hat to the ground. It's water under the bridge but would have been much more fitting had he tossed an A and M hat.

These dudes get caught up in the moment. No big deal.

What is your Mount Rushmore for Texas College Basketball? As a Celtic fan I'm cancelling out Joe Z saying Payton Pritchard with Avery Bradley. Longhorn Nation, who are your top picks in hoops? TJ Ford and Kevin Durant should be shoe ins...

If that's how he feels... cool. If Pop's gon let him get down like that, cool. My Horns saw that. The recruiting class saw that. Jalen and James Lott saw it, too. They also watched Ojo play games, too. At the end of the day... handle your business and hope they land on the schedule in the playoffs. Settle it on the field and make him regret it. Period. As for Pop's.... he's just being a dad... but he gets the smallest steak at the alumni gatherings, no cap!🤘🏿

Probably feels that Texas has disrespected him

no class

These guys are going to learn it’s not wise to burn bridges. How do they know some day these college coaches aren’t in the NFL or what if they are in the portal and they look to play for one of them? Or how about getting a job with a Longhorn alumni that saw the video? Just not a wise move. Could even hurt their NIL opportunities?

They will shell out for pretty much every player they want. Going to be interesting to see if it works. They are in the top ten again in basketball. Toppin is back for another year.

Texas basketball recruiting is going to be almost as exciting as football recruiting is. Thanks for the update, Gerry!

Not gone lie I thought it was extremely disrespectful and it made me look at him different

Hey @Gerry Hamilton @Bobby Burton @Blake Munroe for Monday’s Coffee & Football or on the OTF website, can we set up a donation link to some sort of relief fund for the Kerrville flooding? This community has been awesome about giving to people in times of need.

Watching different announcement ceremonies each year, it’s impressive to see kids (regardless of whether they choose Texas or another school) who show a lot of class and character, who are transparent and honest throughout the process then show humility, respect and gratitude (at the time of their decision announcement) for each of the schools who rolled out the red carpet for them over a multi-year process. The ‘hat fake’ is tired at this point, imho.

Sounds like an insecure kid trying to make a statement and failing miserably. He could have attended Texas if he was not so interested in the bag and being fawned over by a coaching staff.

Ok. I think you are making a mountain of a molehill.

Not a good look. 🤘

Wait, you guys are …well is that what he did? I didn’t see it. IF he did throw it on the ground then yes he did disrespect Texas which is different than if it bothers the poster or me ,for that matter, that he did.

Why post this stupid crap go touch grass or go to orange bloods

Fully appreciate it’s one of the best days of his life. There’s a right way and wrong way to do things in the moment, imo. Ojo was a different level of classless with all the deception beforehand combined with the way he did his announcement. I’m not suggesting Finley comes close to Ojo, just think he could be better, especially given how great of a legacy his dad built at UT.

Or maybe you’re just that shallow? How deep does it need to be to have class or respect?

It’s not that deep. It’s a teenager picking a school on one of the best days of his life. He did not set out to disrespect Texas.

https://apple.news/ABdDMryNCR2i1lZQXwkyZ-A Especially with a legacy, it’s beyond mind boggling to see the classless disrespect for his dad’s Alma mater, who recruited him hard, why would Kaydon throw the Texas hat on the ground? For the hundreds of hours of time and all the money invested by schools in their recruitment, this crap reflects low character imho.
