  1. This team needs experience if they ever want to get out of the cycle of forcing non-Bamba freshmen into major roles right out of the gate. Roach would help with this, allowing guys like Ramey & Febres to be used situationally as they grow into above-average D-I players (and I think they will, sooner or later). If Roach comes back and plays like he did that last month of the season, this team will be markedly better for it. (I like the incoming class, just would like to let a few of them get their feet wet instead of dunking them in the deep end.) Also, the IT report jives with what I'm hearing.
  2. Nobody seems willing to give a definitive answer as to why he has to leave. There have been rumors of weed, fighting with teammates, and being a,poor teammate, but nothing concrete. The only thing you mentioned that's incorrect is the fighting; the rumored Roach/Tevin locker room brawl didn't happen. People pointed to a shiner, but if you go back and look at the days leading up to that game, Roach already had swelling around his eye (a source told me it was a reaction to medication). Those two were buddies; there's a reason they got suspended together and for the same number of games at the start of that season, it's because they got caught for the same thing. (Some day when it's legalized, this will stop being an issue in college basketball.) These things all contributed to him getting tossed, but the final straw I'm not going to get into in any detail on a public board except to say Tevin doesn't really deal with authority figures well. If you've seen me reference elsewhere how much I'm going to enjoy watching him interact with a coach that turns the screws like Avery, that's why. Maybe Tevin has settled down since he was in Austin, I hope for his sake he has.
  3. If you ignore the off-court issues that caused him to be tossed off the team, sure.
  4. They have 2 right now, if Roach leaves they have 3 scholarships available. Perhaps you're thinking of Jones. http://verbalcommits.com/schools/texas
  5. They have. http://usatodayhss.com/2017/report-nike-eybl-employees-subpoenaed-by-fbi-as-amateur-basketball-scandal-escalates
  6. I've read it. It's mostly the same debate being had on BC, BON, IT, Reddit, Snapchat, Bangbus, and Friendster. I tweeted this for a reason:
  7. Nobody needs to bash my podcasting skills because I don't have any, I am a talking monkey with a mild drinking problem. I have been lurking here off and on for a long time, long enough to know to ignore Derka. And Shaka sucks at offense because he doesn't run the touchdown play, obviously.
