  1. Not if you're pulling for our side. He simply can't play meaningful minutes at this level. And I'm not just basing that on tonight.
  2. Samuel Morse would be impressed by how often Kent telegraphs passes.
  3. Sounds like he's physically ready for a lot of snaps and can help bridge the gap to the next wave of young studs. Heroic indeed.
  4. If Kent doesn't play by far his best game of the season, we're probably losing by 10. If he does, maybe it's a coin flip. Unfortunately, he's shown zilch so far.
  5. I thought Mwenentanda's defensive radius and overall quickness were subtle factors in last night's win. I say that without even checking her stat line, but she did seem to complicate a bit of what TN was trying to do offensively. In a tight game, it doesn't take much from an unexpected source to make the difference.
  6. The only reason I don't want Micah Hudson and Johntay Cook both to portal to OU is that Venables then might get them to do a PPV fight to raise NIL funds.
  7. And those few minutes by Preston in Q2 really helped.
  8. Jones with the game of her life. Epic.
  9. Time for Booker to become Booker again.
  10. Their bombing ability and quickness on D are hard for us to deal with. We need to get into the bonus asap and keep pounding the boards. Another dose of Preston might also be useful.
  11. Shay needs to get it together.
  12. Jones and Preston are stepping up huge.
  13. Coach's old Kiwi accent seems to be bubbling up a bit more than before. I take that to mean we're about to leave every 2025 opponent gobsmacked.
  14. Our 2024 season had a lot to do with their pessimism. They're accustomed to not competing for the league title, but to see evil tu immediately be successful and then sign the No. 1 class was simply more than they could bear. At the moment they're not even sure they'll win their spring game.
  15. Not sure that rim needs protecting.
  16. Latimer strikes me as a slightly smaller, slower D'onta Foreman. Can't find a 40 time. Not a ton of wiggle, but a tackle shedder and strong north-south runner. Also has pretty good hands. Overall, looks like a solid red zone guy who's also big enough for effective pass pro. I'd call that a clear take in a multi-RB class.
  17. Given the obvious draw of the almighty dollar, it's impressive that even a program with deep pockets could hold a roster together after the season we just had and the talent we return. How much of that came down to straight NIL vs. relationships, team culture and/or the appeal of Austin itself? The answer undoubtedly varies from player to player. I'll assume nobody turned down ridiculously more money from elsewhere, but it speaks even better of our program and its trajectory if they did. Just a great effort by everyone involved.
  18. Fair points. Weaver's edge is his utterly fearless play late in games. I trust him more than anyone else to get his hands on a crucial loose ball, keep a rebound alive or draw a charge. He's this team's Silas Bolden, and I sense the other guys feed off that.
  19. I think Weaver's status will determine how this season plays out. That kid regularly makes momentum-shifting plays out of nothing. With the scoring difficulties we often face, it's going to take a fair bit of his magic to get us safely into March.
  20. Lots of grit on display here tonight. Mizzou will be puzzled at this loss, but Texas has simply outplayed them overall. I'm as hard on this bunch as anyone, but kudos tonight.
  21. Ouch. Break out the peach baskets.
