Mulkey's face keeps cracking like a dry lake bed.

Livingstone still bugs me.

Could it be any bigger?

I wish I knew why Longhorn Network takes forever to post these.

With Coach Vic it's all about how well you practice. You have to earn the minutes. But he recruits kids who get it. Very few coaches demand that their players play defense like he does. Aaliyah Chavez plays no defense. She would be on the bench here. If you come to Texas, you better come ready to compete and play hard. He wants dogs.

Preston needs to continue to develop her midrange shot. Next year, we have some outstanding three point shooters. The new girls have played against great competition since their freshman year so they are ready to step in and compete. Very similar to Crump this year. The development of Justice Carlton has been significant, but remember she was coming off a knee injury. She has so much more bounce this year. She's physical and tough. I wish I knew how Lovisa Hose is coming along. She's 6'7" and is redshirting this year. I hope she's hitting the weights and working on her inside game. We need that two headed monster in the paint. I am super excited about next year's team.

My starting five next year: Post: Brea Cunningham Forward: Justice Carlton Guards: Madison Booker, Jordan Lee, Bri Preston First off the bench: Lovisa Hose for Brea Cunningham Bri Crittendon for Justice Carlton Aaliyah Crump for Madison Booker Addison Bjorn for Jordan Lee Lizzy Spaight for Bri Preston On the Bench: (Used when Needed) Amalia Holguin: Guard Izi Itute: Forward Grace Prenter: Guard 13 deep! This is going to be a very solid team. Itute can play post, but she also can hit from the outside and has a great handle. Holguin is a three point sharp shooter.

No doubt. Rori is the heart of the team. But fortunately Bri Preston has been her understudy for two years. Coach Vic has been praising Bri and putting her in for crucial minutes. I think she will be ready. Hopefully, Rori will make the W.

Bri Preston and Lizzy Spaight have that Rori heart. Lizzy is a Rori clone. Holguin is more of a three point shooter, but she can play point too. We have a wealth of combos that Coach can use. There is a rumor that there is another big just waiting to get signed.

You forgot Holguin and Izi Itute from Luxembourg. These two are studs. Plus you forgot the big girl who is redshirting right now, Lovisa Hose. We are 13 deep next year, because we have the guard from Ireland too.

Our other signee, Joyce "Isi" Etute is a strong rebounder and scorer. She reminds me of a slightly bigger Justice Carlton. I have watched all of her highlight films and am amazed at her skill set. Originally from Luxembourg, she's balling at IMG. Can't wait to see how next year's roster meshes on the court.

UConn struck gold with Sarah Strong. Fudd has gotten so much stronger and reflects her numbers this year. They will be very tough to beat this year.

Bri and Addison are tall, strong ballers that are highly skilled. Couple these forwards with the girl from Luxembourg, playing for IMG, is a trio of forwards we have not seen on the 40 acres.

Bri Crittendon, Addison Bjorn, and Lizzy Spaight are on the West team. So next year's team will have a roster of McDonald's All Americans. Jordan Lee, Aaliyah Crump, Justice Carlton, Breya Cunningham and Madison Booker round this elite group!! Eight out of our 13 girls! Amazing. Great job Coach Vic and staff.

All these shows remind me of my first marriage. We didn't miss many. We had no kids. I was a high school teacher and baseball coach, my wife was working her way up the corporate ladder. Mainly great times. We were too young and stupid not to weather the storm. One of my biggest regrets to this day.
