Useless clickbait

What happened to the Lady Vols? The lost Pat Summit is what happened.

Check that...Matt Coleman back in 2021 was last "true PG" we had. Since then, the position has been held down just fine by combo players.

Correct....we can find guys that can do it all now at the guard position. However that doesn't mean the true set-up PG still doesn't have value...its just a rarity these days. I mean who's the last "true PG" Texas has had worth a damn? Myke Kabongo?? Better to have 5 guys on the court that are real scoring threats.

True PG or Combo Guard...doesn't matter. We just need someone better & more athletic than Jordan Pope. If Miller proved he could eventually coach up & win big games with a guy like Jordan Pope running the point, then there's no telling how good we could be with a superior talent upgrade.

Fair enough. The pre-draft camps will speak volumes for him. If he's nailing some 3's, & playing good D, then he's going rise in stock for sure. His bread & butter is that dribble drive game. He's gotta show more though. I would imagine his camp will compare his potential draft position money vs a healthy NIL payday. I really feel he's the perfect draft candidate to return for his senior year in order to really boost his draft stock in a weaker draft class next year. His rate of improvement was impressive this year...if that continues...then sky's the limit.

Hey grown men can act like babies too!

I didn't say "no chance" but I did say I viewed him more as a 2nd round guy & that I didn't see NBA stud written all over him. I'm sure you're just waiting to beat your chest & prove me wrong. I guess us underlings can't have an opinion & need to kneel to the all knowing Gerry Hamilton. Nothing I saw in the tourney has changed my mind either. I see him as a 1 trick pony right now. Very good dribble drive finisher. Good defensive potential but was inconsistent 1v1 wise late in the season. Improving 3pt shot, but at times plays a little soft & doesn't always make the best decisions with the ball. He had 2 really bad turnovers late vs Purdue. His last bucket was big to tie...but obviously showed some lack of strength vs Purdue's brute on the final play (who clearly fouled Swain IMO). Again, he'll need major seasoning in the G league if he bolts this year. Not sure I see him being a long term NBA guy. So many guys like him out there that are fighting for an NBA roster spot. I'd like to see him coming back 1 more year, rake in more NIL, & get drafted much higher in next years weaker class. But what do I know? I'm just a little piss ant underling. And for the record, your preseason info on Simeon Wilcher was dead wrong.

His pre draft workouts for teams will give everyone the info they need

20 assists, 5 turnovers. Dailyn Swain...6 assists Huge

Swain settles down tonight...damn solid. 6 assists...big.

Will have to see if we can overcome the travel fatigue & an emotional victory.

Yeah. He's a 2nd rounder at best, & his perimeter shot is still suspect. He'll go to the G league if he gets drafted & I doubt he makes the big leagues. Tons of dudes out there with his skill set. I didn't even mention his defense...great defenders don't have games like he did tonight. I just call it like I see it. We'll see over time what happens.

He's looked great at times this year, but he's also looked awfully pedestrian in many games as well. That doesn't scream NBA player if you ask me.

Swain certainly doesn't look like an NBA pro to me tonight. Inconsistent perimeter shot & shaky defense. Guys like him, dime a dozen.

Not sure what's laughable because that's exactly what happened that night.

Well in Round 1, Vista Ridge didn't nearly have the athletes that Little Elm did, but VR got physical & pressured him which clearly rattled Ogden...shot 1 for 8 from three for 10pts on the night. Again, he had a tough time with getting around defenders. The next 3 playoff games, opponents played him like he was a regular Joe, & Ogden went off of them. Not saying the kid isn't talented, he obviously is. But IMO, a top 40 guy in the nation should be able to almost have his way with HS defenders. D1 wing defenders are going to all over him. He'll need time for his body to get stronger & faster.

Man, I dunno. Ogden looking awfully mid major pedestrian in this State Title game. Once again, he couldn't get around anyone on the dribble drive, & he couldn't stay in front of anyone on D either. I just don't see D1 footspeed...not yet anyways. He shot 1 for 12 from three and rushed almost every shot. Didnt mix in any counters moves. Finished with 18 but mostly because he was the tallest guy on the court & got everything inside & off FT's. The slower Westlake team looked completely overwhelmed by the faster, more athletic Little Elm team. I see Ogden being a year or 2 away at best from contributing at Texas.

Great feet, non--stop motor & mauler on the field. His dad was a tough as nails grinder. Apple never falls far from the tree. Sign me up!

Yes. I got snip snipped last year. I'd sell them for $10k!

Was pretty much the entire offense for Westlake tonight scoring like 29points. When he builds up a head of steam, he's good at getting to the hole. Had an off game from three going like 2 for 8, but teams have been face guarding him all season. Westlake finally just let him bring the ball up the court which allowed him to build speed getting to the hole...at that point, he started to take over. However, not sure how much he's going to contribute next year. He's gotta get faster & improve his footspeed. Right now, when he squares up, he's not super effective with his first step to the hole and doesn't exactly blow past people. It also remains to be seen if he can defend D1 guys next year. Like I said, he needs major footspeed work in order to compete at the D1 level. We know he can shoot at a high level though but just may need a couple years of D1 seasoning.

Just says he visited correct? Don't see any mention of an offer

Don't know the exact number, but I do know that when my son was guarding & battling Bo Ogden the other night in an extremely physical bi-district contest, Bo spouted off, "I'm making more in NIL than both your parent's salaries combined." I chuckled because its probably true! Lol

Georgia OL tackle/guard visiting.
