so arch comes back for his senior year?

Because Atwood was on deck I think, the switch in the lineup helps Katie out a lot. Basically have to pick your poison.

I can see Texas with 7 picks in the first 3 rounds Four first round McDonald, Mascoe and Biles in 2 & 3

Always wary of kids who "enjoy the recruiting process." When you hear that, you know they're more interested in fluff than substance.

I don’t believe we have a chance of keeping Royal . Kiffen is on him like bees on honey. He he’s getting pressure from every direction. Seems to be enjoying the chase . Great player, starting to doubt his commitment. Guess we will see. Hope I’m wrong, but he’s visiting LSU so many times you would think he’s already a student there.

At least it’s not A&M or BlowU

Back……back…….back……

They can, but it's not looking good. They seem to think they can flip the switch and decide when to play. As it stands now, we're in for at least one stinker a week.

Is this a squad that can make it to Omaha?

Vic is doing a great job for us. Like all fan bases, it amazes me how many band wagon riding fans start attacking players and coaches after a loss. I love our program and will wait and see how it goes next year. We have a great class coming in . Will be young but quoting Coach Royal, if a dog is going to bite you, it will do it as a pup. Bob Knight would not have shut down Alford or Thomas. You don't shut down your best players. Booker had carried us all year and got us there. Dance with the one that brung you. Another Royal quote. We came really close to winning it all with Maddy having worst game of her life. Hook Em

@Jeff Howe Who on the staff is responsible for outfield defense?

I am rooting for this dude! If he makes the team, he will become a fan favorite!

Great point made. No he wouldn't have!

If you don't show the team that you are willing to hold your "favorites" to the same performance standard, then the team isn't likely to take it well. Do you think Knight would have let Isaiah Thomas or Steve Alford shoot 3-23 in a Final Four?

How do you know that Knight didn't have favorites? Have you seen his interviews? He had favorites dude. They all do. It's human nature.

The team and Vic are the reasons we made the Final Four, not Booker alone. I don't know that Bobby Knight is a comparison here. First, he was a great coach in the 1970s and 1980s. That won't matter to contemporary players. Secondly, Knight was never accused of having different standards for different players.

When I was getting my doctorate at UT, he had a class next to mine. We would chat it up every time. He was very shy, but kind. He was like one big muscle. I couldn't imagine tackling him. We are both from California, so that was our connection.

Katie Stewart hits bombs! The girl has power. Why even pitch to her?

Here we go again. Vic definitely has a stubborn streak. Most head coaches are control freaks. Remember Bobby Knight? Anyway, it's easy for players to think coaches favor others more than them. Why? Because it's true. They reward effort, skill, body language, defense, hustle, etc. See Coach Vic's love for Rori. Booker is the reason we made the final four so he rode her all the way even when she shot horrible against UCLA, as did Jordan Lee. Players on the bench saw just what we did. Parents of those girls were all thinking why is she still shooting? Vic loves Booker. Carlton never got the Booker treatment. Old school coaches who win aren't going to change. Period. Either the girls on his team give 100% effort 24/7 or they will eventually portal out. Vic isn't going anywhere. The only portal transfer that bothers me is Jordan Lee. She was among his favorites. She's joining a loaded South Carolina team where getting minutes will be a challenge. She obviously left for the bag. Sad. I think she made a mistake.

It looks bad any way you slice it. Even if you think all this transfer stuff is more about the players than Vic, he brought them in, coached them, and constantly told us they were "great kids" except for the outburst after the Vandy game. All this tells us it wasn't properly managed. I'll add that you don't just ride with Booker during a 3-23 game. You adjust and let other players shoot the ball. It's obvious many players on the team thought that Vic wasn't fair.

It’s literally the Green Bay Longhorns of Miami at this point. the amount of former packers in that front office (who drafted golden and sorrell last year) paired with the head coach, Willis, and Anderson all heading to South beach and then drafting three more longhorns….

Gaston and Carlton make clear, if Schaefer doesn't like you, he doesn't treat you with humanity that he does players he likes. Listening to Gaston talk about 3 hour practices is insane. Schaefer is 0 for 4 against #1 seed's in the NCAA tournament and doesn't seem to try and win any other way than his style. For example, he didn't want to use his 10 players to wear down the 6 UCLA players in that game. As a result, Booker went 3-23 and Harmon made ZERO shots in the 2nd half. Schaefer I think has gotten Texas as far they're going to go. USC, South Carolina, LSU, UConn all have better teams than Texas for next year.
