harveycmd Posted August 14 Posted August 14 @Gerry Hamilton Jerry West talking to Shaq about Kobe in July 1996. "I got this kid. He's going to be the best player in world. I'm telling you. I know talent. He's going to be the best. You can win multiple titles with this kid." 1 1 Quote
Moderators Gerry Hamilton Posted August 15 Author Moderators Posted August 15 Texas wrapped up summer workouts Friday with a full game scrimmage. Two 20 minute halves, refs and coaches on both sides. Matas led all scorers with 28. Punch had an impressive all-around performance Amari Evans had his best workout as a Texas Longhorn. Isaiah Johnson was really good. Bo Ogden hit three 3's, and a couple of big one's late. Texas hit a lot of 3's ... they got on a little heater (not what the normal will be for this team). 9 Quote
Texasborn91 Posted August 15 Posted August 15 Talented team + great coach usually means good things. Super excited basketball has some juice this year. 1 Quote

Different situation for Jordan. He wanted to come back to Texas but just recently became eligible. Texas wasn’t going to wait, and rightfully so. Parker on the other hand acted like he was forced out when it was his own choice. Quote

Texas moved on from each of those guys after the season. Even when it became apparent they may have possibility to get another year... Texas wouldn't have made that move. 1 Quote

The good will Pope established is now greatly diminished. He couldn't play for the Longhorns, but he wasn't forced to be an Aggie. It's business, but that needs to be the response to him in the future now as well. 2 2 Quote

Definitely more, and by a decent margin I hear. Because A&M fears Bryson Warren isn't getting eligible I don't blame Pope for picking A&M for that reason. Quote

TTaylor2135 Posted August 18 Posted August 18 (edited) Pretty cool drill to move without the ball. I see enough useless dribbling these days so a pretty good idea imo. Edited August 18 by TTaylor2135 2 Quote
