Thanks. Very informative.

Banks has scheduled an official visit to Austin from September 18–20, 2026. 

Banks recently named Texas as one of the four programs communicating with her the most and being there "from the beginning". She publicly noted that she can strongly see herself fitting into the Longhorns' system.

 

Women's basketball is going to be great if the players in college and high school coming up meets their potential. I can't wait for both highschool and college games. 😂 I laugh when people say the world has caught up because USA has a close game and now are capable of being beat on off nights. The USA brings has a team full of all stars sitting on the bench with Olivia, Madison, Mikayla, and JuJu up next. No other country can boast that.

Addison Bjorn is going to be really good for us. She's a big guard/small forward type that can shoot. She just needs to get stronger. She could be a Paige Buecker type if her game keeps improving.

She will dunk a basketball in game before she graduates.

Idk about that.  Would be cool to see, but I thought Toby Fournier was going to dunk in a college game by now, and she hasn't unless you count pregame warmups.

Why do we know the football recruits coming in Saturday, but Coach Vic didn't share who the girls are that he has coming by Saturday? Is he able to say who they are or is it just gamesmanship? I hope he's recruiting the Ukrainian center from LSU. 

Vic isn’t allowed to mention the recruits names, same applies to all coaches during visits

I'm not sure about this, Toby Fournier is hella athletic, stands 6'2" with videos of her out there of her dunking off a power dribble or drop step, and unless she gets out on the break by herself even she hasn't and more likely won't dunk in a game for Duke. I think it's safe to say the same for Addison. Dunking in game is not as easy as the men or most highschool boys make it look.

I have faith it happens again.

Jordan Lee probably would have been one of the KD athletes if she had stayed, instead her dad decided to chase the bag without thinking about the big picture.

If this freshman class plays to their potential, the team will do well, but I'm a bit wary about being optimistic with what's been going on with the volleyball team.  We've been spoiled with elite play for a number of years.
