  1. Texas fans who don’t pay close attention to college basketball are going to be confused as hell when they figure out how “Abmas” is pronounced.
  2. No, RT just had an in-home with him. He stayed in Cali and committed to SDSU. I don’t think there was much of a realistic chance there.
  3. We had an in-home with a USC kid too. But both him and Dunn are ranked much lower than Abmas and Shedrick by pretty much everyone who does these type of rankings.
  4. Abmas and Shedrick were our top 2 portal targets and we landed both. Patience is a virtue that this board does not have. This shit only took a single month. RT was officially hired on March 27.
  5. The problem isn’t Drew, the problem is Paul Mills. I assume Abmas trust Mills given that he stayed with him at ORU for as long as he did. If Mills is joining his former Baylor buddies on the negative recruiting, it could have an affect. But in the age of NIL, it might not matter. Those other schools shouldn’t be able to put together a better package than us.
  6. Damn that would be a big loss, he’s an Oklahoma kid. You posted in the 24 thread that LSU is being extra agressive this cycle right, that will make things very hard for us with Durham’s teammate Colin Simmons.
  7. Most of those guys ain’t exactly heralded players and we’re likely processed, but a few of them were guys Deion wanted to keep, most notably Lemonious-Craig.
  8. Kadin Shedrick just committed to us, one of our top portal targets.
  9. It’s not a top list, it’s just literally every team that has contacted him.
  10. He will be a good player. 247 just has him as the #1 player in the state and that’s a bit much for me. Still an obvious take. And Durham is originally from Oklahoma, we didn’t really have an in with either player.
  11. Wesco is overrated imo, but Durham is legit, he’s probably underrated. Just ran a 10.28 100m
  12. Because you don’t actually have all that much information available. At least not with this job, because it’s been 3 weeks. The reality is people aren’t actually judging Terry for just these 3 weeks, they’re judging his overall resume because they didn’t think he deserved the job in the first place. So we’re just having the same argument that’s been going on all season. But that argument is over, he did well in the tourney and he’s got the job now. It’s over, he got it. The need to re-litigate this argument every day something great doesn’t happen is exhausting and pointless. Is anybody putting a gun to your head and saying you can’t do something? You’re allowed to say what you want, and I’m allowed to call it stupid.
  13. I’m not even defending him. If it’s bad when it actually matters (ie. when the season is near), I will be among his harshest critics. I’m just not grading his test while he’s still taking it. Nothing definitive has happened yet, we have no idea what the roster will be.
  14. So just going to ignore all of the points I made and zero in on the word pussy huh? Criticize all you want, but people have the right to make counterpoints and pointing out that barely any time has passed at all is a valid one. If we get to the starting point of the season and the roster looks like a total disaster, then some of the so called “RT defenders”will probably be right there with you. But 3 weeks is laughably impatient, and more indicative of “petulant childishness” than saying the word pussy.
  15. Because it’s been like 3 weeks since he got the job. Because the season doesn’t start for another 6+months from now. Because big time transfers will still be changing teams through the summer. Marcus Carr committed to us in June two years ago. I don’t know if RT is going to work out or not, but I do know being a pussy about it less than a month in is stupid.
  16. Basketball reporting has been super spotty for the last several years, I assume there are other names and we just don’t know about them. We didn’t even know the date of the Abmas visit until right before he got there.
  17. This thread sucks. Jesus Christ. Does anyone here actually watch college basketball? None of you remember the sweet 16 run ORU went on a couple of years ago? Abmas was the star of the tournament. Kevin Obanor became a decent player at Tech and he was clearly the 2nd best player on that ORU team behind Abmas.
  18. He’s not very good, so normally I’d think he just got pushed out, but aggy is low on scholarship players already, they shouldn’t need to push guys out, they actually need bodies.
  19. Texas tried to get in late on him, but he stuck with Baylor.
