  1. Yeah he's had a couple of high profile cases in his relatively short career. I've come across his name before.
  2. I'm not a recruit-nik and don't have a lot of prior knowledge of Roach and how he gets down, but he came off as a fairly decent guy from podcast. I did get the sense that he's a big high school football fan and clearly prefers it over college football so that claim checks out with everything I've read on here about him.
  3. Roach interviewed a bunch of former UT players for his book. BJ in particular gave him a lot of access and got him in touch with other former UT players for the book. He mentioned on the podcast that the interview with BJ was in the office of BJ's construction company.
  4. He was on the "it's just banter" podcast recently pubbing his book. Told a good story about BJ Johnson getting locked in a room by then assistant coach Urban Meyer asking him how much money would it take to get BJ to Notre Dame. Roach didn't mention Meyer by name, but it was clear that is who he was talking about.
  5. He would've signed before the season and probably in early January as well. However, after we waited to see whether he was needed to be part of a deal with Porzingis that ship had sailed. I don't blame Cuban/Nico for waiting until the season started and for JB to prove his worth, but the critical point would've been to sign JB after his play during the Covid issues we had during Christmas/New Year's. That was our chance to get him signed on the cheap.
  6. Is "banging down low" even a necessary requirement for NBA bigs anymore? Not only has the need for defending post ups diminished significantly over the last decade, but most teams concede defensive rebounds as well. Most offensive rebounds they do get in today's NBA are of the long rebound variety where half the time they rebound it as they're running back on defense.
  7. This is a great point often ignored when projecting college bigs who are highly skilled.
  8. Really hope we can get Trey Johnson away from Baylor despite his Dad having gone there. . The kid is tremendously skilled.
  9. How is being named All-American and defensive player of the year a MASSIVE bust?
  10. I think most people are lamenting the fact that we're losing an asset free of charge rather than the fact that we're losing Jalen Brunson the basketball player. We hit on our draft picks so infrequently that it really hurts when we finally hit on a 2nd rounder only to lose him 4 years later with absolutely nothing in return.
  11. The irony in all this is we're ultimately losing Jalen because of Luka's freak calf strain in the last game of the fucking season. Without Luka's injury Jalen never blows up against the Jazz and probably resigns with us for somewhere in the neighborhood of Hardaway's contract.
  12. One thing that still hasn't been explained is why did Dallas give Brunson a rookie contract that never called for restricted status. Now the Ticket (mainly Jake) has alluded to it being some sort of altruism of sorts because Brunson should've been a 1st round pick, but I'm calling bullshit. Everything about the Mavs and Mark Cuban's history tells me he wanted to lessen Brunson's future cap hold in hopes of having cap space in attracting a future free agent. Once again Mark's irrational need to hit a home run in free agency fucks us in the end.
  13. His dad has worked as an assistant to Tibs multiple times over the last decade.
  14. I like both TC and Monty. Both of them are better at radio than Sean Bass or anyone else at the ticket below the tier one guys or maybe Mino, although it's debatable as to whether Mino has much over them as a broadcaster.
  15. I thought the hoodie ban was weird when I first heard about it, but our pediatrician told my wife that apparently the latest craze for teenage girls is that they go commando under their hoodies. So I guess it makes sense given that bit of info.
  16. Jake didn't pick Sean over TC, Cat or Bill Bennet did.
  17. They're not the only ones. Even purportedly knowledgeable college football people like Stewart Mandel made ridiculously inane points like Donnie and Norm.

  19. You're right they didnt win a game in the the NBA Finals after Kyrie after winning only 1 game in the Finals with him the year before. 😕
  20. Kyrie is this generation's Stephon Marbury. Teams get worse when he gets there and better when he leaves. Back in the early 00s Marbury was traded from the Nets to the Suns for Jason Kidd. The Nets immediately became title contenders while the Suns record plummeted. Fast forward 3 or 4 years later and the Suns let Marbury go, signed Steve Nash, and suddenly became title contenders again.
  21. Or maybe it was just an area of concentration back then within the Liberal Arts Department.
  22. https://www.texasstandard.org/stories/conference-celebrates-50-years-of-black-studies-at-ut-with-eye-toward-programs-future/ The name has changed through the years, but UT began offering the major in 1969 according to the article above. I think the confusion on the name of the department is due to renaming it after Dr. Paul Warfield in 2008 or 2009
  23. He'd worth a lot more than that. He took a team friendly deal.
