Good stuff!

I think that is spot on

Same place I'm at in seeding, at 8-10 in Big 12

I do think he will play one year at Texas. He likes the idea of being a college player ... and he has nice NIL runway

Year two will tell the story. Problem for Texas basketball is they have had too much coaching turnover in a short amount of time. Beard comes in, and they have Brock Cunningham and have to build a team. Get into tournament, win one game. Beard on track, but then we all know what happened. RT gets job, and essentially has Brock Cunningham and injured Dylan Disu for sure coming back and has to build team. Texas needs to get in the tournament this year, and build more in year two. Texas needs some stability to have shot to build, but RT and staff have to win enough to create it. I'm in no way saying RT/Texas is in a position similar to UConn ... but they gave Danny Hurley time to build something and create some stability. He went 16-17 and 19-12 and no NCAA Tourney. Then lost in Round of 64 next two years before the obvious breakthrough. Texas isn't a blue blood basketball program, and the University certainly doesn't approach basketball like they want to be a blue blood. But they have enough with Moody and NIL to compete.

OSU is a must win. Can't lose that one. Need to win all three home games.

Not a bad comp!!!

I do like the 2024 class, especially at guard. Tre Johnson (6-6) and Cam Scott (6-5) bring size and individual shot making wither perimeter skill. Devon Pryor (6-7) sophomore at wing, Weaver returns ... that ideal off ball skill and size. Chris Johnson also a 6-4 combo guard. PG in portal is possibile. If Texas could win out for 6-11 Ulrich Chomche (if he doesn't go to NBA), that would be huge. That's three future first round picks in 2024 class. Rugged, but skilled enough big in portal for sure. Maybe two.

Prediction is in! Love it

Agree with you ... solid point

We agree for sure.

Agree on WR. Would take a Jamie Ffrench level dude to have real serious interest for OOS to truly factor in right now. Not ruling Marcus Harris out totally, to be clear.

Not sure he's the sure fire No. 1, but he's top 3 for sure.

If Texas continues to play through Abmas and Disu on offense, and Mitchell and Hunter play off those two guys without forcing into bad situations off the bounce too much ... Texas can definitely hit the 75 point mark needed in talent neutralized situations (road or neutral). On defense, Disu and Weaver staying out of foul trouble is the key IMO. We pretty much know who and what this team is, but now they have to maximize it as many times as possible the next month.

For those that may not know when Dubose committed ... I talked to a college head coach that recruited Dubose ... "Freak athlete that could be really good if he stays healthy and learns the position." I'm an interested observer.

Such a tough deal with Vasek. He's still not where he needs to be health wise, but hopefully he can get back.

I too think Texas finishes 8-10, and gets in ... and not in the play in game. One thing that could push Texas to 9-9 is if they get to play a Quad 1 team on road with an opponent having a key player out due to injury. Look at Kansas at Texas Tech this week. McCullar is not going to be 100% the rest of the season.

Nothing new other than continue to hear he's one of the top pound-for-pound athletes on the team headed into spring.
