  1. That g-league guy isn't one factoring in for real - at this point. See if it changes
  2. I would say ... I bet he improves shooting it from 3 next season in year three. They need him to be at 32-33% ... but Punch will absolutely help Matas maximize because he's a very good passer as a face up 4, and can put the ball on the deck vs. 4's to create rotation. Texas will add another perimeter threat at guard. And Bo Ogden will absolutely provide perimeter threat in his double digit minute role year one.
  3. I'll say this ... Texas really likes where John Clark is headed. 6-9 and strong. Can defend and rebound at the Texas level. Can play some backup 5 at times, but is more of a 4. Has to keep developing offensive game facing basket. Lewis O. is a high-level shot blocker. So Texas thinks he can help in spurts after a summer of development. Legit 7-0.5
  4. Not likely. Not unlimited $$$ Texas still has a plan if Swain ended up coming back. And one without him ... so it might play out into late May
  5. give a Follow to our OnTexasBasketball instagram if you would https://www.instagram.com/ontexasbasketball?igsh=MXBhdGp3N2NjaHRjZg==
  6. Projected starters: Isaiah Johnson, CG/PG, 6-1, sophomore (16.9 ppg, 2.9 rebounds, 3.0 assists at Colorado) Austin Goosby, CG, 6-5.5, freshman (big guard/wing) David Punch, PF, 6-7, junior (14.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.3 steals & 1.9 blocks at TCU) Matas Vokietaitis, C, 7-0, junior (15.6 points, 7.1 rebounds, 0.9 blocks) Key role players: (back up center/PF) (guard with size/shot maker with perimeter ability) (big guard that is perimeter threat - Swain insurance if Texas goes that direction) Bo Ogden, W/G, 6-5.5, freshman John Clark, PF, 6-9, RS-freshman Possible minor role player: Lewis Obiorah, C, 7-0, RS-freshman Joe Sterling, SG, 6-4, freshman Stash and develop: Coleman Elkins, C, 6-10, freshman Still on roster for now: Declan Duru, F, 6-7.5
  7. Texas will be a top 10 ranked team preseason ... mark this one. They are far from done
  8. Too early for me on that one
  9. My use of "on command" is the pure definition ... "On command" means acting immediately in response to an order, signal, or request. It signifies doing something instantly when instructed or desired, often implying obedience or the capability to produce an action at will. That's where I'm coming from. If the game is going to be decided by 75+, better be able to get there on command. If the game is going over 80, better be able to get there on command. The losers in the NCAA Tournament, the majority of the time, can't get to 75+ or 80+ when it's required.
  10. Have to have the ability to go score 80+ on command when the game calls for a team to. Nothing has changed. Deep run teams historically have had multiple games in the tournament where they had to get 80 to survive and advance. All one has to do is the research. Colleges coaches literally have on boards… have to be able to score 75+ in the NCAA Tournament, and go get 80+ when pushed to the limit. If you are playing against a high level teams, they are going to score on good defense. So you have to as well. There is reason guys like Kelvin Sampson and Rick Barnes (terrific coaches) struggle in the higher scoring games
  11. I said you have to have the ability to. And you damn sure do. Teams had to be able to score 90 to beat Michigan in the NcAA tournament… until the title game
  12. OTF expects Texas to offer McKinney High 2028 OLSean Sherman today http://www.hudl.com/v/2SbWR5
