Agree with you guys on Ohio State ... Oregon has a talented 1-3 room in the convo.

I don't think so - not a 5. Outside shot 6 just IMO Some weird/unexpected upsets in other conference tournaments would have to happen too

KJ has the three visits scheduled right now. The April 6 visit is the key IMO. If something happens and that falls through … would likely be telling.

Haha … yes

Love your profile pic! A great one

Not sure yet on portal attrition ... but Texas is going for two bigs and a PG ... what will that do to current guys on the roster that could return? We shall see.

Just me, but I think he's a very good coach ... OU needs to get serious in the NIL game in hoops to have the best shot moving forward. I'm interested to see is Porter actually sticks with OU too ... it's one arm behind ones back vs. the expectations if OU isn't fully invested in hoops NIL IMO.

Did you see the Shaun Rogers interview on Coffee & Football this morning!!!

I think what you want .. is an offensive system with a bunch of half court offensive sets that you can define ... problem with that is you would suck on offense doing that if the ball is out of the hands of Abmas and Disu. You have to run the offense through those two guys. That means a lot of ball screen action, a lot of two man game out of the ball screen game from the wings - but closer to/off the elbows ... but you want to be more center of the floor to keep opponents from the hard hedge/trap along the wing pushing to corner of the court. If you ran a bunch of off the ball action for Chendall Weaver and Tyrese Hunter and Dillon Mitchell... Texas would be very bad on offense. Texas runs about every type of ball screen action you want playing off the elbows. They run that to get into a two man game on the weak side at times, to get into a inside out game, and get into a floor spread drive and kick game ...Texas actually does a very good job on offense making a defense work ... without the ideal parts to maximize. What Texas does on offense is actually the best thing with this team ... its atrractive in recruiting for guards. It's freedom in an NBA style. Up to RT and staff to construct a roster to maximize it. Texas has run some action for Abmas off the ball ... you can see some of that against UConn early in the season when they didn't have the Abmas/Disu two man game for everyone to play off of. More of the Abmas action off bal in second half ... if you watch closely, Texas does a good job of moving without the ball, attacking/getting into some favorable switches and got a lot of clean looks - shots just didn't go down early in the game.

I think Texas HC in your eyes is likely where most come out ... and that is the most likely scenario. Agree on what CDC says to all his coaches. My only issue with what CDC says to his mens basketball coach in that regard, the university doesn't really act like they want to be that - which would be a blue blood level basketball program IMO.

Texas is a top 20 offense in college basketball playing in the toughest conference. They are top 50 in the country in 3 point %, Free throw percentage and effective FG % ... they are going to run everything through Max Abmas and Dylan Disu on this team, as they should. A whole lot of two man game with others playing off that. Running a bunch of off ball offensive sets on this team would be a disaster IMO. The ball has to be in their hands, and offense run through them on this particular team ... Texas is 4th in the Big 12 scoring in Big 12 games, 2nd in field goal %, 4th in 3-point %, 2nd in FT shooting %, 4th in assists per game, 3rd in turnover margin The Horns are a very good offensive team. Really the only reason they have a shot to win a couple of games in the NCAA Tourney if they can get off that 8/9 seed line

lol Speaking of ... BYU pulling away from UCF right now.

Texas definitely interested in him, and last I heard Texas is on his early list.

What is "getting it done" in your eyes? Just wondering. Good conversation

Texas is definitely the better team ... Kansa State shoots a lot of 3's (more 3-point attempts than free throws on the season), and hits only 31%. They also average more TO's than assists on the season. If K-State doesn't shoot the three well, tough to see them scoring enough points tonight unless Texas has a cold game from mid-range to three

You are consistent! Year two will be a big one for Terry and staff. They are in the NCAA Tournament this year ... and the vast majority of the RT bad hire group didn't think that would happen. So he's working +1 against the awful hire group. Year two will be a big one for them.

PG and two bigs for sure. Maybe a glue guy that can shoot it too ... if that player leaps in.

100%. Four games in four days headed into NCAA Tournament is a losing formula

And away we go ... This is a great site to keep up with the who's jumping in the portal and where they end up ... https://www.verbalcommits.com/transfers

Disagree. It's just that people want instant gratification ... how often does that happen with development? There is always going to be some guys that work out long term, and some that don't. From a singular basketball development, being in the gym without restricted hours working with NBA trainers/development coaches is always a basketball win over college with restricted hours. Outside of just the basketball aspect, there is a different convo for me. The life part ... the guys decision making on what they will do with their time.

I don't think the G-League Ignite program is ending after a recent conversation with someone that works for the NBAPA ... could it change in the future, can't rule that out. But I asked this person after Adam Silver's remarks at the All-Star Game

IMO, Texas won't limit Disu tonight or against Iowa State if the Horns play Thursday. Those are the go get 'em games. Plays into the last Q ... I don't think Texas will move any higher than a 7 seed even if they win the Big 12 Tournament. Doesn't mean I would agree with it, but it's just unlikely with everything else in CBK taking place in terms of conference tournaments/results.
