OTF Premium Texas basketball 2026-27 season thread
harveycmd replied to Gerry Hamilton's topic in On Texas Football Forum
To further Gerry's point, the NBA doesn't play centers in the post with their back to basket anymore. (That's not to say they shouldn't, but they don't.) Matas needs to become a better rim protector without fouling. He needs to show the ability to pass and screen better. All of this entails better quickness and lateral movement. Then he could get into the first round. -

Gerry Hamilton replied to Gerry Hamilton's topic in On Texas Football Forum
Nobody did, but Swain has more of an NBA game... what he needed to do was make contested three's and answer the bell vs. SEC (highest level comp) over a season. Swain had an NBA frame and NBA ability off dribble and high IQ of offensive ball. Matas has a key NBA issue ... he can't defend in the NBA unless he makes major changes. Hard be a drop coverage defender, and be a low block only threat on O and go in the first round. This 2027 draft may give him a shot, but that hasn't been a 1st rounder very often at all. - Today

Watch: Marcus Fakatou's Texas official visit video
MarkInAustin replied to Hank South's topic in On Texas Football Forum
Thanks for posting this video. I have to wonder what his visit to Ohio State was like. Is there a video of that, as well? -

I hope so, but personally from what I've been hearing from the experts seems like it'll come down to if people in his camp can persuade him to Texas. I'd love to have him. -
Media effort to get Royal to flip
MarkInAustin replied to TexTheHorn24's topic in On Texas Football Forum
Agreed. Gerry has repeatedly told us that Royal is open and honest. The young man should investigate all his opportunities. This is a lifetime affecting decision for him, as it would be even for a non-athlete. He is not public property because he runs 10.17, he is a someone's son, a human being with choices to explore at an exciting time in his life. I can only add that if he has an agent I hope the agent sees himself or herself as the servant of the principal, not the master. In other words, as Royal is deciding what college best fits his life now and in the future the agent should honor that in seeking a deal. There are some agents, perhaps most, who count their commissions as more important that the life choices of their principals. The agent only gets a cut of the initial signing, not a percentage of the student-athlete's lifetime earnings. That can make for selfish short-sightedness on the part of that agent. I wish Royal the best, but hope he notes that his family name is on the stadium in Austin! -

Gerry has it as 51% anOSU and 49% Texas which is a slight move towards Texas. Evidently several members in Fakatou 's camp favor Texas! 🤘🏻🤘🏼🤘🤘🏽🤘🏾🤘🏿 -
