I don't remember tbh, I just looked up his stats and he only appeared in 4 games that year for Texas. Â 6 minutes a game I think. Â Was 8.5 mpg in 21 games the year before.
Barnett's last year at UT was 2015-2016 and his first year at Mizzou was 2016-2017. He clearly left UT once he finished finals during the fall 2015 semester or got some sort of waiver to avoid sitting out a transfer year (which I doubt). Plus he only played 23 games his first season at Mizzou which either means he was injured or he started playing after the last set of finals in fall 2016. Like I said before he played about a month under Shaka. Â

The NCAA on Wednesday increased its investigation power by providing itself de facto subpoena power over nearly anyone involved in college athletics. Likewise, it gave itself the ability to accept outside investigations as fact without confirming the findings itself. Meanwhile, it announced it is establishing more forceful penalties for rule violators.
This here is a doubling down on the NCAA rule book that holds the concept of amateurism sacred … at least to college athletics’ bottom line.
Mostly, it was a power grab disguised as “reform.”
The NCAA claims it “delivered on a promise” and made “profound and meaningful changes” to college basketball in response to last year’s federal indictments within the sport.
Except there were neither profound changes nor meaningful changes, let alone both. There were hardly any changes at all, actually. There may have been a promise that was delivered on, but to whom that promise mattered, other than the NCAA itself, remains a question.
Don’t buy the hype, the spin or the few common-sense concessions that were long overdue.
use fear of lost eligibility to prevent players from exploring professional options while also assuring their rosters were set by early spring.
It’s good this is gone, but it’ll likely effect just a handful of kids a year and it’s still equal to what hockey and baseball players enjoy.
Meaningful and purposeful? Not quite.
This was all about enforcement, which is to say this was about protecting the money. It’s about not even bothering to address the free-market value of players, making a move toward the Olympic model that allows for sponsorship or endorsement opportunities or even truly protecting student-athletes.

Didn't Barnett transfer at the end of the fall semester? If so, he played for a month under Shaka.Barnett played a season under both Barnes and Shaka. Â Neither played him very much but Barnes did play him a lot more than Shaka. -

So how does this work allowing them to come back and coaches recruiting and knowing how many scholarships they have available, just based on the timing of things?
My immediate thought as well. Â

In fairness the Euro leagues weren't as good back then as they are now and no other young euro star has been this accomplished coming into the NBA. Darko barely played. His hype was all based on potential, not even what he'd done in euro leagues as he had barely played at the time. Even the hype surrounding guys like Porzingis was based on what he'd done in international tournaments against age mates because he barely played in his pro league.I am skeptical about any 'can't miss player', especially foreign ones. I believe this was the same kind of talk that one dude from 2003 or 2004 had. Can't remember his name but I think the Pistons drafted him.Â

Drazen(sp?) Petrovic was on his way to becoming one before his untimely death.Darko Millicic.
There hasn't been a Euro perimeter superstar.........ever.    And there are consistently very large busts in the top 5-10 from Europe.   He looks pretty good in his league but to act like he is a can't miss is just too much for me.  Â-

There's a distinction between can't miss and certified star. It's just a barometer of where people think his floor is. I'd honestly be shocked if Doncic wasn't at least as good as someone like Joe Ingles, Tyreke Evans, or Bojan Bogdanovic. The question is whether he'll be in the realm of an allstar level player.

Generally for me, the slow pace of new episodes doesn't defeat me. I enjoy the entire BB world world so the buildup is part of the allure. But you're right about rewatching this show. I don't know that I'll ever do that with BCS.

Just dropping this here as a place holder. 2 Texas Exes are involved in this project as Writers and Executive producers.Â
Jamund Washington. and Kelley Robins, They were on campus with me during the late 90s so I thought I'd give them a plug. Have no clue what it's about but looking forward to it.Â

Shit, what's her name? Â That's right in my timeframe for undergrad and UT law.
It was tagged in the tweet originally quoted. It's probably not a big deal but really don't feel comfortable posting her name on a message board. Â

On July 29th 1910, citizens in predominately African American town of Slocum, TX were massacred. One of many towns (ie Rosewood, Elaine, Tulsa & more), where a successful Black community was subject of terrorist attack.Â
Unlike most Texas communities in the early 20th century, the unincorporated town of Slocum—like Rosewood, Florida—was largely African American, with several Black citizens considerably propertied and a few owning stores and other businesses. This alone, in parts of the South, might have been enough to foment violence. But in the area around Slocum, roughly 100 miles east of Waco, there were other issues, according to newspaper reports and other sometimes conflicting accounts of the massacre.
When a white man reportedly tried to collect a disputed debt from a well-regarded Black citizen, a confrontation occurred. Hard feelings lingered. When a regional road construction foreman put an African American in charge of rounding up help for local road improvements, a prominent white citizen named Jim Spurger was infuriated and became an agitator.
Rumors spread, warning of threats against Anglo citizens and plans for race riots. White malcontents manipulated the local Anglo population and, on July 29, white hysteria transmogrified into bloodshed.
Stoked and goaded by Spurger and others, a collection of white mobs made up of Slocum locals and heavily armed white residents from all over Anderson County roamed through the area in groups of six or seven or in mobs of 30 to 40 and, according to some reports, up to 200. Members of the mobs engaged in what authorities later termed a “potshot” occasion, firing on Black citizens at will. They moved from road to road and cabin to cabin, shooting down African Americans in their tracks. Survivors of the bloodshed spread the word, and African Americans began fleeing. The white mobs followed Blacks into the surrounding forests and marshes and shot many victims in the back as they fled. Several bodies were discovered with bundles of clothing and personal effects at their sides.
Every initial newspaper report on the transpiring bloodshed portrayed the African Americans as armed instigators, but these accounts were heinous mischaracterizations. Anderson County Sheriff William H. Black, of Palestine, Texas, and Special Deputy Godfrey Rees Fowler arrived in the Slocum area, and they discovered a terrified white populace, most of whom had slept overnight in churches and schoolhouses. But it was increasingly apparent that the alleged African American mob that had supposedly conspired to attack the local white community hadn’t materialized.
When reporters gathered on July 31, up to two dozen murders had been reported, but local authorities had only eight bodies. Sheriff Black said it would be “difficult to find out just how many were killed” because they were “scattered all over the woods,” and buzzards would find many of the victims first.
“Men were going about killing Negroes as fast as they could find them,” Sheriff Black told the New York Times. “These Negroes have done no wrong that I can discover,” Black continued. “I don’t know how many were in the mob, but there may have been 200 or 300. They hunted the Negroes down like sheep.”

I'm with you. Although Davis was a much better shooter when contested (barking carnival or burnt orange nation had a blurb mentioning this stat) he had to lead our team on shots/gm off the dribble or at inopportune times with Dylan right up there rivaling him. And Young would rate if you measured it on a per minute basis. And I'm hopeful that Frebes will thrive playing alongside multiple guys in Coleman, Roach, Ramey, Long, and hopefully Jones who can drive and kick. Overall I want more movement without the ball from our perimeter players. There's no need for us to be as stagnant as we have been off the ball over the past 2 seasons, especially when we aren't going to be looking to the post to get buckets as much as we have been the past 2 years.if you think about, losing young and davis should be addition by subtraction in this category, and DO, Coleman, and Febres *have* to be better shooters this year. Also, I spent a lot of time last year complimenting Roach's form from outside- it was evident that he'd spent a lot of time working on his shot. I won't be surprised if he shoots 40% from deep this year, and I'm usually the pessimist around here. So in the end, I do think that we should be much improved in this area, but I still question if we have the talent and poise to actually be a team that shoots well overall. I think we'll have a few games where we hit 11 or 12 from deep as well as a few where we go 3/18. -

yeah we missed a bunch of open shots but we also took more stupid threes than any team i've ever seen, zero hyperbole. our shot selection was *terrible*.
No disagreement here. When you miss as much of we did you're able to fill up all sorts of categories of shots taken. Open shots, contested shots, what tha fuck shots, are you fucking kidding me shots, etc.Â

Dak is a certified dumbass.  There's a way to make that statement without throwing guys protesting under the bus and without using the same language people who've been against blacks protesting have used since the dawn of time.  He should probably pick up a book and gain some perspective.  I suggest "Why we can't wait" by Dr. Martin Luther King to start with.  Of course Jerry in all his dumbassery has continued to light a fire on a subject that hasn't once been an issue for his team. Now he's encouraging bullshit like this:

I disagree. We've missed more wide open threes than any team in the conference. Dudes just can't knock it down.The thing about good 3 pt shooting teams is that they usually structure the offense to make sure they get/take good 3 pt shots. That has not been my observation with Texas. -

I don't know how it will translate as freshman but it was always funny seeing people project this class as "not adding shooters".Â
Both Ramey and Hepa were above average to elite HS shooters.Â
In fairness a lot of those comments were made before Ramey committed. And still 2 shooters out of a 5 man class is a bit lean. Â

According to spotrac D.J has made nearly $36M so far in his career and he's still owed nearly $15M on his current contract. Not bad for an undersized PG once thought to be a 4 year player with little chance at the NBA. Additionally, I vaguely remember when he left for the league he still had a 4.0 GPA

This series has all the ingredients of a show I should be in love with, but season 1 missed the mark with me. There wasn't enough story/character building to meet my needs. That being said,  I actually think this season has a chance to be somewhat compelling with all of the pieces finally coming in contact with one another. I'm hopeful anyways.Â

I guess if you were already in high school or older by the late 80s or early 90s you missed the Air Jordan craze. These dudes weren't selling cleats for $2500. They were selling retro Jordans which go for a pretty penny on the resale market. Â
