  1. I agree with the point of your post. However, while Toppin is very good, he measured in at 6'7 flat without shoes at the NBA combine (with over a 7'0 wingspan). Regardless, Toppin would be massive addition. We still need bigs - hopefully the UCLA transfer. Buyuktuncel is listed at 6'9, but no idea if that's a true measurement. Although, he's still very raw, and I'm not sure how much production we could expect.
  2. That’s for 2025. We don’t go to Maui this year.
  3. JC seemed like one of this year’s “get in the boat early before we run out of room due to higher-ranked guys” commitments. Similar to Kibble last year. That being said, I think he could be a real asset as a nasty IOL. He plays with a great motor.
  4. Sweep Kansas and it probably won’t matter. But as @WBT pointed out, I bet they send Texas to Arky or Aggy regardless.
  5. I butchered point 6 trying to edit before the window closed: 6. Predicted RPI for Texas is 40th (35-20, 20-10). This means it thinks we sweep KU. However, all the above applies. It's likely that Texas will be viewed as a team somewhere in the 17-24 range, which would help us miss a top-8 seed. Even if this is not the case, maybe we get a favorable matchup. Caveats: 1. A bad collapse against KU and then in the conference tourney. 2. The NCAA's potential insatiable desire (fuckery afoot) to send Texas to College Station or Fayetteville regardless of any metrics.
  6. Agreed. Here are some reasons: There a few teams ranked ahead of Texas in the RPI that may not even make the tourney; there are even more that won't secure a higher/more advantageous seed/draw based on the totality of their résumé. Texas' (current) 12 Q1 wins are tied for third-most in the country, behind Kentucky and Tennessee. While the Q4 losses will keep Texas from hosting, the Q1 wins should help with the draw. These Q1 wins will help Texas' KPI rating, while the Q4 losses will hurt it a lot in comparison to other P5 teams. This is the wildcard here. Mid-majors generally have lower KPIs than RPIs, so Texas' Q1 wins should help here still. Texas' conference and non-con SOS are currently top-30. Many similar RPI teams have much worse rankings here. Texas is likely to finish third or fourth in the third-best RPI conference. If third, OU and OSU are likely hosts. Texas has played much better to end the regualr season against good competition. While I know this isn't supposed to affect seeding, I still think it does to an extent. Predicted RPI for Texas is 40th (35-20, 20-10). This means it thinks we sweep KU. However, all the above applies. It's liekly that Texas will be viewed as a team somewhere in the 17-24, which would help us miss at top-8 seed.

  7. Was the left side of the truck sagging towards the ground from a bone-weary suspension system? If so, you got it.
  8. No chance. Three games behind OU with five remaining. Texas could win out and win the conference tournament and still wouldn’t host. Even with something like that, the Q4 losses prevent Texas from being a top-20 RPI team.
  9. Live RPI: Texas: 51 --> 46 UCF: 31 --> 37 https://www.warrennolan.com/baseball/2024/rpi-live
  10. Given Texas' ability to hit home runs, combined with how many FOs they have at the Disch, and the UCF starting staff's ERAs, I feel like Texas should score plenty of runs to win games. UCF being first in overall ERA must mean their bullpen/the composite staff must be pretty consistent. A road series win, especially a sweep, would do wonders for Texas' RPI. Granted, there's probably diminishing marginal returns since UCF is only 18 spots ahead. Nevertheless, win the series and it'll be massive for RPI.
  11. They fence it off for both softball and baseball. That's the softball side. I assume that doesn't happen because the softball fences are closer in. The baseball side looks more predictable based on this video:
  12. Regardless of performance, at least Texas now has the DT depth that players should take absolutely zero plays off.
  13. OT to 2024, but historical transfer "news" nonetheless. On this morning's "OTF Today," Gerry and Bobby were discussing QB recruiting and heights of 6 feet and under regarding KJ Lacey vs. Keelon Russell and that height lends to higher ceilings. Gerry then went on to say that Russell Wilson didn't want to go to Wisconsin and that he wanted to attend Texas, but Mack passed him over because of his height. This was something I wasn't aware of.
  14. Or Saban, the appeal and prestige of Alabama Football, and the bag game.
  15. Maybe this time they won't fuck up getting to host.
  16. I would mind it. We don't match up well with Pig's pitching.
  17. It'll be interesting to see what happens here. QBs are always overvalued in the draft due to the potential value they create when you hit correctly. Despite all the drama, I bet a team drafts him high.
  18. For the current football roster; not for the long-term financial health of the football team/AD (apparently). Granted, I'm pretty sure MM never gets offered if he were a c/o 25 recruit. Yep, this. We've lamented the fact that Davis hasn't generally brought in high four-star or five-star players. We've also been generally happy with his development at the position. Recruiting has always been his issue at Texas.
  19. 2023 – – Played in five games, but had no statistics. 2022 – – Redshirted… did not see any game action… missed significant practice time in preseason and 2023 spring practice due to injury.
