  1. He's from that international group that visited Texas today. Grew up in Sweden. Father was an OU offensive lineman in the 1990s.
  2. Harden and Kyrie are both out for Game 5.
  3. Got no respect due to their limited nonconference schedule. You could say the same for the Big Ten but nobody considers them an elite baseball conference.
  4. ESPN has been sending their broadcast crews to games. Wouldn't be surprised if it were about money.
  5. Traore from his unofficial visit. https://www.instagram.com/p/CQHLf13hwpi
  6. Someone from Surly should apply, at the least. @closetojumpingthis seems to be up your alley.
  7. Among the above group: https://247sports.com/player/deandre-moore-jr-46084735/ (has a Texas offer) https://247sports.com/player/eugene-brooks-46113362/ (no Texas offer yet)
  8. Jovantae Barnes is also visiting today (with the same group as Hero Kanu). https://247sports.com/player/jovantae-barnes-46094222/
  9. The 2010s were a down decade by this program's standards, and it's not like our previous ADs did much to help the fan experience. Then we hired a new coach who had relatively little acclaim, and 2017 was a decent, not great, year. The 2018 team started up and down before rising from the ashes to win the Big 12 and break through to Omaha. 2019 started quite well, and we had some early marquee opponents in LSU and a highly ranked Texas Tech. I remember the atmosphere being pretty good in those series. Then the team imploded, and that was that. 2020 was cut short before conference play started, and obviously the 2021 season didn't allow for much of a fan experience in the regular season. All this to say, assuming the 2022 team isn't a repeat of 2019, we should have a pretty good indicator of the staying power of fan interest for an entire season next year.
