Gerry, 1. How is Texas looking for Beckham Black i have heard that UNC is back in this recruitment for him.

2. Is Yam K the 7,1 center likely to reclass if so do you like Texas chances.

3. What are the odds we can get both Yam and Beckham

Texas is right there. Don't think he makes a decision in November

2. Yes he is. Too soon to know. Hasn't made a visit to this point

3. Way too early for me on that. If both are spring decisions, Texas would like that so the staff has a better feel for the current roster and who is likely to return

Haha. That's great 

I heard the delay was caused by a Ukrainian special forces mission.

Gerry, Who are all the basketball recruits Texas is looking at for this 2027 cycle I feel like I really only of heard of 2 Yam and Beckham. Do you think we will sign a top 10 class?

It's 2 guys right now in 2027. Yam will very likely reclass to 2027 to make it three currently. 

Impossible to say on any class ranking. Texas could have a lot of guys return off this team ... and choose to only sign one 2027 HS player and go to portal for any other need. So hard to say right now

From the analytics standpoint ... if you like those... Evan is good

If you don't want to take a listen ... 

My thoughts haven't changed (all health dependent) 

Goal is a No. 2 seed ... best case scenario

The analytics say No. 3 or 4 seed likely...

I can see Texas anywhere from a No. 2-5 seed headed into season 

 

I want a Tennessee vs Texas Regional Final so bad because something would have to give between the two programs and coaches when it comes to making the National Semifinal.

These guys always come up with a bunch of crazy, high end lottery picks. They're trying to guess who is going to hit big, but it's a fruitless exercise.

Tennessee blown out at home by Xavier 86-68 in exhibition game

Tenn lacks interior O and D 

Not the typical Rick Barnes team ... will be interesting to see what he does with them

They will shoot it better more nights, but it was rough

Watched this one … Alabama will definitely be better than Tennessee when Roll Tide gets the team drug dealer back

I thought Holloway was already back. Has he been suspended for a game or two for trying to distribute two tons of weed?

ESPN needs to do a documentary series on Oates and the Bama basketball embrace of criminality to go along with the Saban hagiographical stuff.
