Glad someone brought this back up after last night lol

Yes

85% end up going public for Texas. There's definitely been a rug pull or three in the NIL day and age

Not hoops

Okay.

That time again. Hi

One thing I will push back on ... is the NCAA Tournament games ... You went hard on him after the NC State game ... don't want to put words in your mouth, but something along the line of first round picks don't have games like that ... Here's a list of some recent first rounds picks having bad/poor games in the NCAA Tournament ... some very high picks and really good pro's on this list ... 2025 NBA Draft first round: *Carter Bryant (Arizona) R32 and R16 … 5 points, 6 rebounds, 1-4 FG’s 8 points, 3 rebounds, 2-10 FG’s *Will Riley (Illinois) vs Kentucky R32 … 5 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist (3 TO’s) , 1-7 FG’s *Jase Richardson (Michigan State) R32 … 6 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 1-10 FG’s *Liam McNeeley (UConn) vs. OU R64 … 8 points, 6 rebounds, 2-13 FG’s, 1-8 from 3 2024 NBA Draft first round: *Ryan Dunn (Virginia) - 5 points, 5 rebounds in first round game loss *Terrence Shannon Jr. (Illinois) - vs. UConn in E8 … 2-12, 8 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists *Yves Missi (Baylor) vs Clemson in R32 … 2 points, 4 rebounds *Jared McCain (Duke) vs UH R32 … 7 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists in 40 mins *Rob DIllingham (Kentucky) vs Oakland R64 … 10 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 2-9 FG’s *Reed Sheppard (Kentucky) vs. Oakland R64 … 3 points, 4 assists, 1-5 FG’s 2023 NBA Draft first round: *Brandon Miller (Alabama) SDSU S16 loss … 3-19, 1-10 3’s … 9 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists vs. 6 TO’s *Anthony Black (Arkansas) vs Kansas R32 … 4 points, 4 rebounds, 1-6 FG’s in 37 mins *Cason Wallace (Kentucky) vs Providence R64 … 7 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists … 2-11 FG’s in 39 mins *Grady Dick (Kansas) vs. Ark in R32 … 7 points, 7 rebounds, 3-9 FG’s in 36 mins *Keyonte George (Baylor) in R64 and R32 … 9 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist … 2-9, 1-7 from 3 7 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 1-10 FG’s, 0-3 3’s *Noah Clowney (Alabama) in R32 and S16 … 5 points, 9 rebounds,, 1-5 FG’s 3 points, 8 rebounds, 1-6 FG’s *Nick Smith (Arkansas) vs. Ill R64 … 6 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists, 2-10 FG’a R32 vs Kansas … 0 points, 1 rebounds, 1 assist, 0-4 Many others had average or slightly sub-par games in the tournament. They don't all perform at an elite level every game in the tournament. I'm betting if I went through 10 years of NBA Draft pick first rounders ... it would all look the same. Off nights, bad games with TO's, any young player almost bad nights defensively, etc... Think that's just the reality of basketball.

You do realize we are saying essentially the same thing about Swain right? He's a fringe first round pick in this tremendous 2026 draft.

Haha. You got the wrong guy. I have never claimed to know it all. That's more your stance based on posts, honestly. Just being real. I literally can't keep up with all the Swain ridiculous statements over the season by many. But love it. Sure Swain could take some time in the G-league, plenty of guys do. Has anyone said otherwise? And if a players does, is that seen as a negative? It shouldn't be, and here's why: Notable Current NBA Players with G League Experience Pascal Siakam (Indiana Pacers): Raptors 905 Rudy Gobert (Minnesota Timberwolves): Bakersfield Jam Khris Middleton (Milwaukee Bucks): Fort Wayne Mad Ants Fred VanVleet (Houston Rockets): Raptors 905 Clint Capela (Atlanta Hawks): Rio Grande Valley Vipers Jordan Poole (Washington Wizards): Santa Cruz Warriors Alex Caruso (Oklahoma City Thunder): Oklahoma City Blue Max Strus (Cleveland Cavaliers): Windy City Bulls/Grand Rapids Drive Spencer Dinwiddie (Dallas Mavericks): Windy City Bulls Robert Covington (Philadelphia 76ers): Grand Rapids Drive G League Ignite Alumni (Drafted to NBA): Matas Buzelis (Chicago Bulls) Ron Holland (Detroit Pistons) Tyler Smith (Milwaukee Bucks) Scoot Henderson (Portland Trail Blazers) Jonathan Kuminga (Golden State Warriors) My info on Simeon Wilcher ... I was relaying what Texas thought. He would be an improved shooter in year three. So throw that shade at the staff, and not try and take a weak BS shot. Haha. I'll add ... damn that feels like a post a 13 year old girl would make on social media after a boyfriend breakup. Geez. Haha.

This is going to be one of the best first round drafts in many years ... or it will be talked about in that manner Just being in the convo from 25-30 in this draft says so much. https://www.tankathon.com/mock_draft If it was the 2025 draft, Swain goes around 22-23 IMO. If he were to return, he would likely go 17-22'ish. He's not going to end up a lottery pick if he comes back IMO. So not a huge difference.

You already said no chance he's a first rounder. Correct?

They won't. It's utterly ridiculous

Texas absolutely loves Udom The Horns are watching SMU close here … he’s a top area target for the Mustangs

100%, and I bet he takes it. UNC will get excited and put an NIL war chest behind him in hoops ... and Donovan will return UNC to a top two job in college hoops. Future Duke-UNC games will be epic

Has to IMO
