  1. The depth behind the admittedly elite Dickinson/KJ duo is suspect. Also not a lot of length or true shooting threats beyond Timberlake. They don’t have anything like Wilson/McCullar/Dick in terms of a wing, not even a Brock. They’ll need 2-3 true freshmen ready to be in the rotation (especially Elmarko), Arterio to make the jump we thought he’d make here, and Timberlake to match his Towson production versus tougher comp. This past year’s KU roster was much better on paper IMO. They do have Bill Self and Allen Fieldhouse, so they still should be the favorite and will finish top 3. But if Texas actually ends up with two more talented players then I think there would be an argument for that roster. I love the potential outside shooting team being built, and think the Disu/Shedrick combo is going to be lethal. If they somehow pulled Spencer and Kaluma, I’d start booking accomodations in Glendale.
  2. Adam Zagoria dropped an article on Cam Spencer’s recruitment taking shape. If this is really an NIL-oriented recruitment, then it seems like we are at least making a decent offer. The list includes defending national champion UConn, former Big East powerhouse Georgetown, blue bloods Kentucky and Indiana, and NIL-equipped programs like Miami and Texas.
  3. I’m guessing Brock will be rich as fuck without ever playing a minute of pro ball.
  4. UL Monroe 2007
  5. The “bias sips” at On3 also had Iamaleava as the #1 QB in the final rankings. Facts are irrelevant.
  6. That was legitimately the most excited I’ve been about anything NBA-related since Game 1 of the 2017 WCF. As an admittedly terrible fan since Kawhi bailed, I’m so pumped to fully restore my only pro sports interest. Go Spurs Go.
  7. I guess this guy can run a little bit. Would like to introduce him to Anthony Hill.
  8. Don’t think Holland can do anything until UT releases him from his NLI. The Ball St guard Jaylin Sellers is visiting UCF right now, so we don’t seem to be pursuing too hard at the moment. Not sure what Tyrese is waiting for if he’s planning on coming back. It looks like there’s a dead period from May 18-26 so maybe the activity will start up again after that and some guys withdraw from the draft.
  9. Their “best season in 50 years” being the covid year is too good. It was great to have CFB on and went better than I’d expected, but I pretty much consider it an asterisk year with everything like the limited/no fans, players praying to avoid a postive test, and games being cancelled. Obviously the craziness of a worldwide pandemic on everybody’s minds too. Honestly would’ve forgotten that they thought they deserved to make the playoff if it wasn’t for this thread. If I were them, the Johnny year would be far superior to 2020. But that would be admitting Sumlin was anything other than the architect of their recent failures, so it may be controversial.
  10. “Kansas St lost to Tulane” Not like Tulane actually won a NY6 bowl game where the opponent still had their best players contributing. Jimbo would’ve used the COVID excuse again if he was matched up with USC and Caleb. Also, Texas A&M lost to App St
  11. Colin Simmons is in Austin this weekend to train at Jeremy Hills’ facility “Kollective” with some NFL players like Parsons. Hill and Baxter have been there recently too, so that is a nice tool to have in recruiting and for offseason work. Gerry also mentioned that there is a good chance UT grad David Mulugheta will be Simmons’ agent. IT had LSU with the edge (for the EDGE) as of yesterday, but this seems like decently important information pointing in our favor. Mulugheta does have big time athletes from other schools signed as well, but not sure if any of them have been with him while in college for NIL deals. Hopefully Simmons somehow finds some time to visit campus.
  12. Bijan’s debut is a home game in Atlanta vs the Panthers and Bryce Young (exactly one year after the two played each other in Austin). 1pm eastern the day after the Bama game and three hours from Tuscaloosa. Only two for those staying in Birmingham. As someone who has never been to or really had the urge to attend an NFL game before, think I have to make this my first. Can’t pass up such a golden opportunity to have seen Bijan’s UT and pro openers.
  13. CBS Post-Spring QB Power Ranking Save you a click: 1. Caleb Williams 2. Drake Maye 3. Quinn Ewers I think this offseason most of the CFB media has finally realized that claiming Texas will be good will get them even more engagement than saying we suck again.
  14. That does look way more interesting and unique than ours admittedly. If a recruit decides to go elsewhere because he prefers the architecture of their practice facility I will have to respect their decision, at least it wasn’t all for the money.
  15. June 23-25 pool party is about to be lit af. Best class scenario updated from IT, hope it pastes correctly.
  16. He shot .545/.353/.829 during conference play which is encouraging. Interesting that his minutes went down drastically in the tournament, not sure what happened there (injury or Rick didn’t trust him under that much pressure?). Personally I’ll wait for Gerry to send out the bat signal before getting too excited.
  17. But could he do it with Chris Beard’s roster?
  18. Love it. Also Joe Tipton really fills his role as the basketball Hayes Fawcett perfectly down to the painfully generic and random edits.
  19. Saw a tweet that said Weaver was 47% on corner threes this season. High school numbers are impressive too. He would be a perfect fit either as the third guard if they actually start three or in the sixth man Sir’Jabari role if they go with Abmas/Hunter/Holland/Disu/Shedrick. Definitely good with three guards on the court at times, but that lineup w/ Holland at the 3 would be crazy with a bench of Weaver, Brock, Onyema, and a combo guard who would be good with around Arterio level minutes. If Anamekwe is ready then I’d love to see what he can do to help with additional depth. Not sure if Weaver can be a lead guard but if not, it feels like the last guy needs to be a third guy who can run the offense to take pressure off Abmas and Tyrese. I guess I wouldn’t be suprised to see Holland take the ball up though like Timmy did a bit this year. Gerry seems to think the minutes are there for a really good player at guard even if Weaver/Onyema hop on board, and hinted that there are still some priority targets expected to hit the portal. Love watching the team come together. Going to be an annual occurrence seemingly.
  20. WE FUCKING GOT HIM
  21. The week after last year’s game I impulsively bought two nights at the Tuscaloosa Howard Johnson for $156 total. Going to be real shitty but fuck it, when in Rome. Helps when trying to stomach the price for the tickets off stubhub.
