    Was is a launching pad out there this weekend? 

    No wind to speak of today.  Friday night wind blowing into the hitters face and Saturday crosswinds from left field toward right, so blowing out toward the right side.

    Seen on the 247 board that Stacy Wilkins and Steven Parker ( DE from Dallas ) are standing out early in the UA competition.  Haven't heard much on Parker, he's a composite 4*, maybe we take a look at him down the line.

    Long time til signing day, but Parker has been committed to Tech for a good while now.  Has ties to TTU and family in Lubbock.  We'll see what happens.

    Biased, but Zhaire should stay. He needs to improve several areas of his game to make it in the NBA.

    He's very young.  Zhaire doesn't turn 19 til June I believe it is.  He of all people could benefit from another year in college.

    That being said they've had, by their own admission, some guys who society would deem undesirable, between Rika Levi allegedly murdering at least one person after leaving, Nigel Bethel being arrested for drug trafficking after leaving (not to mention his incident with Amber Battle), the whole stolen guns out of a drug dealer's safe with Dakota (who I believe is a good person), Castaneda, and Ellison, Paul Banks being arrested recently for organized crime activities, Boyd cutting Farrar's throat after being on campus a couple weeks, Duffey being suspended from the university for allegedly sexual assaulting a young woman

    I'll admit up front that I'm a Tech fan, but certainly not an apologist for illegal behavior on the part of their athletes.  That being said, the above is complete bullshit.  The behaviors of Levi, Bethel (who KK had kicked off the team) and Banks all took place, if true, a substantial amount of time after they left the team and Lubbock completely.  If you trace the post athlete experiences of the ex athletes at any school,  logic dictates a variety of inappropriate behaviors would be uncovered.

    Secondly,   Farrar's throat wasn't cut or anything remotely close to it.  It was a completely non legal issue and Boyd is a starting WR at Utah now.

    If you watch the video of this week end's incident you see Duffey appears to be sober as a judge and reserved in his behavior.  He didn't deserve to be arrested IMO.  Taylor did deserve it.  As to Duffy's supposed Title IX transgression, there were no legal charges, court appearances, arrests or anything of the sort.  Title IX is an absurdity.
