    Where’s our little white guy who makes 3s?

    Those guys aren’t “Texas good.” Signing such commoners is beneath us. We’d rather brag about our class ranking of guys with dazzling measurable than hustle up some actual players.

    So I looked over all of our schedules and under Shaka before tonight Texas is 22-28 in games decided by 5 points or less. Shaka is fucking terrible in close games.

    22-28. 

    Well, when you can't make a late FT or open jumper or keep from turning the ball over or get a rebound, it's kinda hard. 

  3. A team reflects its coach. Maybe not on any given play or game, but after awhile that’s who the team becomes. And Shaka’s teams play as if they know there are going to be clutch meltdowns, both physical and mental. Through a void of leadership (perhaps somewhat related to difficulty identifying prospects with the right mental attributes), Shaka’s Texas teams have been trained to believe they’re losers. It’s now virtually self-fulfilling.

    TTU got a couple of commitments the last couple of days.  

    Got an athlete out of Bishop Gorman (Donovan Smith ) who fancies himself a dual threat QB but played WR last year.  At 6-4, catching passes is likely to be where he ends up I'd guess.  He's the TT  RB coach's son and will now move to Lubbock to play his senior year..

    Dont know where else to put this (please, nobody say I'll tell you where you can put it), but they also got a commitment from Lubbock Cooper freshman safety Kobie Mckinzie.  Already at 6-3, 225, he's likely to be a 5 star type as he already had 6 offers including one from Oklahoma State.  

    That said, I refuse to give a lot of thought to a commitment who hasn't even completed his freshman year in high school yet.  Life long (as short as it's been) Tech fan who's been around the program a good while now.

     

     

    I'll crawl out on a limb and say that if you're 6-3, 225 as a freshman in high school, safety isn't your most likely position in college.

    So Johnny Wilson never even considered going out of state until Texas came calling.  Now the two biggest threats to Texas are Oregon and Washington.

    Hmmm. So after Texas offered, he went from not thinking about leaving California at all to considering only OOS schools?
