  1. I hope Pierce realizes it is over for him now.
  2. You never really know what to make of these scrimmages. The best news I've seen so far is no major injuries.
  3. Pierce has cost Johnson millions.
  4. Yep, his uncles both used every year of eligiblity in college. The only thing that could change his calculus is the Saints having the top pick.
  5. Man, Enfield was a complete disaster at USC. Just goes to show you that one Cindrella mid-major tournament run is a horrible way to hire a coach.
  6. Except he doesn't have the athleticism or basketball skill that Westbrick had.
  7. Isaacs is a volume scorer only. Those guys are a dime a dozen in the portal, not to mention he raped a teammate's sister earlier in the season while Tech covered it up.
  8. Sarkisian at Texas is going to go on a run. Last year was just the tip of the iceberg IMHO. I think the next decade will surpass what Mack did, only because of the difference between the playoffs and the BCS, i.e. Sarkisian will have more chances because 12 >>> 2,
  9. I bet Cream Abdul Jabar gets a lot of offers to enter the portal.
  10. I was hoping he would stick around, but sometimes kids just don't want to wait their turn. He was recruited over at Kansas and came here, every time he played he was a turnover machine, 24% TOV. He was unplayable in conference games. Building a roster is going to be tough moving forward because you have to nail your evals or you lose kids after a season.
  11. Lampkin is good if he lays off the pot. Just look at NC State's big for reference. Don't confuse athleticism with basketball skill. Mitchell is in the Top % of basketball athletes, but in the bottom % of basketball skill. I'd take Lampkin over Mitchell everyday of the week.
  12. Taafe is the Hayden Conner of the secondary. He sets a decent floor, but the ceiling will never be reached for the entire unit until he's replaced almost completely.
  13. I hope LBJ got a shitton of NIL because his decision to let Pierce become his pitching coach might cost him millions.
  14. Just a reminder last year, Texas signed every player they brought on campus for a visit except the VCU guard that ended up at Baylor. That should let you know how serious Texas is with a certain player once they are in the portal.
  15. Gerry has mentioned several times, that Texas sees McNeeley as a multi-year college player, while the McNeeley camp thinks he's a one and done. He'd want some assurances that Texas would feature him and he's probably not ready for it.
  16. Happy opening day everyone. Let's go Astros.
  17. Everyone could see the writing on the wall with Pierce if you actually took a look at the extreme staff turnover and the context of how he made it to Omaha, i.e. not having to face strong regionals or super regionals.
  18. This is correct, it took Coburn, Sweat, and Murphy 4 years to become quality contributors.
  19. Really only Verlander and Urquidy since we already knew about McCullers and Garcia. Verlander should be back sometime in April.
  20. Made a huge jump in production, don't like his DPBM was in the negative last year.
  21. Nah. If you find a fit go get them. You have to have the belief you can develop who you get. I think last year Texas wasn't agressive enough.
  22. This season was a success but it wasn't maximized because of the increased need from low basketball IQ players to play consistent basketball. They just couldn't deliver. Mitchell was much better overall this season, but was nearly unplayable against Tennessee. It also didn't help that Brock Cunningham for some unknown reason continued to make stupid decisions that cost him team points. 2 flagrant fouls in the NCCAT as a 6th year player. That's just unforgivable. He was playing the tournament games like a freshmen in the Cotton Bowl. Hopefully this season will bring an end to the Beard years at Texas. Should Texas move on from Hunter and Mitchell, there shouldn't be a player left that was recruited or coached by Beard. He had a poor 1.5 years of evualuation.
  23. Hunter's shooting also developed. He had a career year, he just was wildly inconsistent and he's got a low basketball IQ.
  24. We badly need a wing with size and shooting skill. Like say Donovan Williams before he was run out of the program. I guess the last good one we had was Jordan Hamilton.
