  1. Would be even better if the supposed 🐐 didn’t turn into a 🦆 #FreeAspinall
  2. Good point lol. I was a student at the time and had a mutual friend with Banks and got to hang out with him a few times. Needless to say he was pretty mad about that. Side note, Banks told me we were getting Matt Coleman, Mo Bamba, and Brian Bowen (who was his high school teammate) in that class. Should’ve been 3 for 3.
  3. The 2017 game still stings, gave it completely away. Shame that Mo and Jericho both fouled out and left Osetkowski and 4 guards to have to deal with the Bagley and Carter front court for overtime. Osetkowski’s best game of his Texas career by far, he looked like baby Kevin Love that day lol.
  4. Mo Bamba and Lexi Sun dated for like 27 seconds when I was a student on campus
  5. Well, Royal Ivey or Jai Lucas are very obvious candidates, but not sure if CDC can sell the fan base on another guy with Barnes ties (and Shaka ties in Jai’s case). Not a lot of candidates out there that make a ton of sense if we start from scratch and go after best coach available regardless of if they have ties to Texas.
  6. He’s at the magic 8 games played mark so would tell me they’re going to try to preserve a redshirt. Part of me hopes we build the team next season around the young group of reserves that have gotten to build chemistry in practice instead of chasing stats in the portal. Pope, Weaver, Pryor, Codie, Vinson with Presley and Clark off the bench. Pick up a couple role players from the portal to round out the bench.
  7. Potential 2025/2026 depth chart: Harmon, Preston Phelia, Chavez Booker, Lee, Crump Moore, Carlton Oldacre, Boutillier/transfer Could average 120 pts a game next season
  8. UAPB was obviously completely overmatched so can’t use it as TOO much of a barometer, but I think that game showed we have so much more potential as a run and gun up-tempo team. Let Pope and Larry push the ball up (even after a make) and let Tre, Tramon, Arthur, Chendall, etc fill the wings and attack before defense is set. KenPom has us 213th in adjusted tempo and feel like if we want to reach our potential we should be close to top 50. We have a bunch of upperclassmen that are used to playing with the ball in their hands and 20 more games isn’t enough time to learn how to effectively play off the ball in the half court (especially when a freshman is the one with the ball in his hands the majority of the time).
  9. Blue, Wisner, and Gibson all more likely to be back next season than not (Blue would really have to go off this final home stretch to increase his draft stock). Baxter added back into the mix at some point in the offseason. Same with Clark but would assume he’s going to need next year as a developmental year so probably doesn’t get included in the count for game ready bodies. Simon and Stewart coming in as early enrollees. Don’t think bringing in an RB1 caliber player would be on the list of offseason priorities especially with the price tag someone like Gordon would command.
  10. Thoughts? As a basketball guy I am choosing to believe this is regarding Aaliyah Chavez and can’t convince me otherwise
  11. As someone who is currently at work 2 miles from Conroe High, I’m intrigued by the potential extra stop
  12. Starting 5 absolutely stacked with Rori, Phelia, Book, A-Mo, and Jones. Will be interesting to see how the bench plays out. Holle will get her lion’s share as the 6th man at the 2 and 3 with Lee getting spot minutes here and there. Curious to find out if Preston gets thrown into the fire when Rori needs a break/gets in foul trouble or if they choose to develop her and let Book run the show in those minutes like last season. Also let’s see if Carlton gets Muhammad’s minutes at the 4 or if Mwenentanda developed enough over the offseason to steal some rotation minutes. Oldacre will obviously be the backup 5 but hopefully Boutillier is healthy and can get some garbage time action.
  13. The thought of a Harmon, Booker, and Aaliyah Chavez Big 3 in 2025 has me grinning from ear to ear. Man we gotta hold off Mulkey to get Aaliyah.
  14. So at the moment we’re looking at a lineup of: C- Galvan, 1B- Borba, 2B- Mendoza, SS- Flores, 3B- Rodriguez, OF- Belyeu, OF- Winfield, OF- Gasparino, DH- Schuessler?
  15. Big Alcaraz fan but torn because an American hasn’t won a Grand Slam since Roddick at the 2003 US Open so wouldn’t mind seeing Paul breakthrough
  16. 53rd in the live rankings now
  17. It’s 3:37 am and can’t sleep due to having no AC from the storm so just up picturing a Chavez, Lee, Booker, Carlton, Oldacre starting 5 with Preston, Crump, and Boutillier off the bench. All those girls except the 2 bigs can grab and go off the rebound so would be such a fun team to watch. So much length and skill and versatility. I’ll be crushed if we don’t get Chavez.
  18. Aaliyah+Aaliyah backcourt would rake in NIL
  19. I don’t like the fit for him. Luka and Kyrie take turns playing high pick and roll and try to hunt favorable matchups. Klay is just going to be relegated to standing in the opposite corner to space the floor. I think if he had gone to the Lakers then Redick would’ve used him as a key part of the offense since he himself was a shooter that loved to come off screens.
  20. Please don’t tell me we’re losing Belyeu to A&M…
  21. Lakers fan here. LeBron has a player option and could theoretically leave if he wants. Lakers had 55th pick and with only 58 picks in this year’s draft that means only 3 picks were made after them. If drafting Bronny helped seal LeBron retiring in a Lakers jersey then I don’t have a huge problem with it. Highly unlikely that the guys the Lakers would want as undrafted free agents were selected in the last 3 picks so not a huge difference between drafting him at 55 and waiting to sign him as an undrafted free agent.
  22. Kaluma it is
