If you want to keep talking about the rapist, start another thread. Phil never said he'd rather keep Shaq. He came back to coach Kobe to two more titles. Did Jerry West tell Shaq that Kobe would be the best player in the world in July 1996? Quote

Is it safe to say Texas upgraded at every position (aside from sf with swain) from last year? Bench included. I do think Texas is potentially better at every position (not to start the season at SG), with one distinction ... Texas played two SF's last year and not a traditional 4 man, so they are combined. Lead guard/PG: Isaiah Johnson upgrade over Pope SG: Tramon Mark over Austin Goosby to start the season. Goosby has the future first round NBA draft, and possible lottery pick. But Mark has a huge experience advantage, and clutch moments over multiple years. By the last few games of SEC play, this could potentially be a push because Goosby has more playmaking ability and more ability to make plays on both ends and in transition. SF/PF: Elyjah Freeman and David Punch over Cam Heide and Dailyn Swain. Swain is the best player among the four, but Punch could have close to the same impact in different ways. The combo of Freeman and Punch is two future NBA draft picks, and Texas will have a true 4-man so this one is pretty easy to go with. Center: Matas 2026-27 over Matas 2025-26. Just natural progression of a player. This is very key here in the discussion ... the bench/depth: Mikey Lewis over Simeon Wilcher. This one isn't even close. Big upgrade. Amari Evans over Chendall Weaver, but not by a wide margin early in season. Evans in year two, making the natural jump, will bring more to the team when you combine both ends of the floor and size. Teams literally didn't guard Weaver last year on the offensive end. While Evans numbers weren't impressive as a freshman, teams will have to honor him as an offensive player in year two. He's a more talented offensive prospect/player. Evans is very good defensively. Weaver made the hustle plays very few others do, so he has a lead there over 95% of players. Marcus Spears Jr over Nic Codie (went with how the season ended with Codie playing). Not even close, even at 17 years old. Bo Ogden over nobody from last season. Lewis Obiorah and John Clark over last season. Wasn't the option last season, as early season Nic Codie was non-existent. Will be fun to watch the team build, develop and hopefully gel. 8 Quote

Hornsfan01 Posted July 31 Posted July 31 @Gerry Hamilton weaver granted another year of eligibility. I assume pope may end up with the same outcome. Probably 0 chance they end up on roster ? They would have to walk on? Or is there zero room at all even with walkon spots. Just curious since the news came out. Quote

LonghornFan4Ever Posted August 1 Posted August 1 Good list, but I would swap UofL for UF and maybe swap Texas for UConn. I want a Tennessee-Texas Regional Final matchup in San Antonio so badly. Something would have to give for both HCs and both programs in that scenario. Quote

Despite the fact that he is a long time hoops fan who should know better he won't respect others at this website and he will not back away from his apparent obsession. However, there is a remedy that will not interfere with Harvey's self indulgence and yet will make your reading of hoops threads more enjoyable. There is an "ignore" function available to you. Quote
