  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Hunter's shooting also developed. He had a career year, he just was wildly inconsistent and he's got a low basketball IQ.
  4. 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.
  5. How hard is it for these guys or leagues to just say, no gambling at all on any sport. Just too easy to owe bad actors money and then that is when things get dicey. I also think that there is no way Ohtani wasn't making some if not all those bets. No bookie is floating a low-level interperter $7M in credit.
  6. The only reason he brought back Hunter and Mitchell were the late decisions from Johnson and Holland to go pro. I will agree Terry passed on some talented guys from the portal for Hunter and Mitchell. The coaching staff will likely make different decisions this portal season. We shall see, if he doesn't get at least one impact player to help take the pressure off of Tre Johnson, his one year on campus will be wasted.
  7. College football is nothing like it was 20 years ago. You should know this.
  8. Nevermind that Whittington was the benafactor of another WR that got hurt to reclaim his spot as the #2 in 2022.
  9. You think Texas will not be trying to get edges in the portal every season? The dude can't stay healthy. It's not writing him off, it's seeing the reality of the situation and commenting on it.
  10. He can't stay healthy and he's been recruited over already in both the incoming HS class and portal.
  11. I don't think he's eligible for the draft. The reason he was going to the Ignite was to use his one year in "pro" basketball.
  12. Good effort, too many TOs from Hunter and another cold shooting night from both Abmas and Disu. Creighton or Oregon will beat Tennessee, not enough shot makers to make it much further.
  13. Brock taking one for the team. Need to draw up a play heading to the basket or get Abmas open from 3.
  14. Team is fighting their asses off right now. Don't know if they have enough to pull it out, but what an effort.
  15. I hope. We need size next year in the SEC.
  16. I am not sure the new portal era is a good thing for a Self. He's used to building his program with 2-4 year guys. He went to the portal big time last year, and this was likely the worst team he's had since the back to back 1st round upsets. He's likely going to have to completely rebuild through the portal next year as well. McCullar, Dickinson, and Furphy are likely done. Something I miss Texas having, are the 6'6"-6'9" wing/forwards that Rick could recruit in spades. Boddicker, Thomas, Buckman, James, and Johnson. I am jealous of of San Diego State having Ledee. That dude is a brick wall. Sad, he's from Houston too. Disu probably could have been another one of those guys if he had ever been healthy enough to put on lean muscle during the offseason(s).
  17. They had a great game earlier this season. Going to be a war with UH missing Tuggler and a hobbled Roberts.
  18. Pumpkin. Lulz your insults are very lame. Why does Terry succeeding hurt you so much? You are on a Texas board, yet, want the team to do poorly.
  19. SEC is really not a good basketball conference. Lots of athletes with poor basketball IQs. Terry will easily be one of the top coaches in that league next year.
  20. No you don't. You love being negative about the program, coach, and players.
  21. I would have never believed it has been 17 years since the back to back Bucknell and Bradley round of 64 losses for Self.
  22. This is amazing and really puts into perspective how difficult March is.
  23. And it took nearly two decades and 4 coaches for Texas to hit that streak again. Meanwhile, Cailpari is now 4 seasons removed (covid not included) from back to back Round of 32 appearences.
  24. Disu's body is so under developed due to his inability to stay healthy. He could easily add 10-15 pounds of muscle, and his only hope at the NBA is being healthy in an off-season to put in that work. Weaver also needs 5-10 pounds of good muscle moving forward.
  25. You are miserable today as well with this weak attempt at a rebuttal.
