  1. Wow, just now seeing this.... This is pretty low even for you. Every year you come out with some new trumped up reason to justify your hate for Smart, all while simultaneously claiming you don't hate him. I wonder what next year's new Shaka Smart anecdote will be.
  2. Sims fouled out. The choice was between Banks, Hamm, and of course Eric Davis.
  3. So much of this. That vaunted SEC gauntlet has always been bullshit, especially when you consider they've always played only 8 games. Half of the teams went 6 or 7 or years without playing each other. I'm not sure how one can even refer to them as conference mates when they play each other so infrequently. How many years has Georgia gone without playing Bama or A&M? If anything, the schedule for SEC East teams will actually begin to approach the difficulty they've spent the last 15 years crowing about now that OU joined them alongside of us.
  4. Reading defenses wasn't MM's issue. Consistent accuracy and composure when under duress was the issue.
  5. This little note just earned the article a read from me. I'm sick and tired of the low hanging fruit that gets grabbed anytime LHN is discussed and the fact that A&M and prior to that Nebraska was offered a Big 12 conference network which both of them turned down. I forget the name of the conference commish who was especially focused on starting a conference network and eventually left for the Big 10 to start their network once our Big 12 compatriots turned him down. This never gets mentioned when realignment talk gets going and it predictably devolves into how we are the catalysts for all that is bad in college football. I believe he tried to get the ball going early in the conference's formation. Just think about a world where the conference has it's own network in the late 90s and early 00s. Back when the Big 12 south was thought to be formidable. This was before ESPN started their brand management work for the SEC, maybe the Big 12s success during that time would've ignited something and allowed Nebraska, Colorado, and even Kansas St to further develop and maintain some prominence.
  6. Mitchell's improved play to begin the season gives RT and company a template for developing athletes like him and showing prospective recruits that they can improve their stock by staying an extra year.
  7. I disagree, but I understand why you might feel that way. We're playing way faster to start this season than we did last year so it seems more erratic,. Through 5 games we have 87 assists total on 58% of our field goals compared with 77 assists through 5 games last season. It would be nice if I could find a stat database that tracks passes per game and player movement like NBA.com does because I bet our rate of passes/gm is a little less this season due to our pace of play and time of possession numbers being less than what it was last year, but I've noticed our sets are much more spread out than what we had over the past 2 years with Beard. Last season, especially when Beard was here, most of our movement was below the free throw line (this was done to exploit Carr and Tiimmy Allen's midrange game). This year our movement is spread out as far as the 28' line). Man if we can get DIsu playing anywhere near the level he ended last season this team is going to score a shit ton of points.
  8. I really enjoyed the minutes Weaver gave us tonight. He was out on the floor pretty much every time we made a run. He needs to be mixed in more so that we can reduce the minutes where all 3 of Abmas, Hunter, and Horton are on the floor together.
  9. It's Kietkowski. Another DC in love with his calls over the athletes he recruits. Bring in top flight athletes and neuter them for 4 years only for them to go to the league and be deprogrammed.
  10. This is fucking stupid. We essentially give QBs layups with this outside leverage by our dbs. We need a DC who is used to utilizing his athletes in coverage.
  11. I'll never understand why our dbs play with so much outside leverage. What's the point of recruiting athletes on the outside if you're going to completely neuter them with your coverage calls? Not to mention allowing every QB we face to get into a rhythm completing easy passes in front of their face.
  12. Our defensive behemoths can't get a holding call for shit yet our oline gets called for holding seemingly 5 times a game.
  13. Holland's situation is a little atypical in that in his last year of high school his profile shot up exponentially and the gleague wasn't really thought of as an option initially. By the time the McDonald's All-Americans practice week finished many people thought he was the best player in the class(he's currently thought to be the #1 pick). That sudden change in profile amped up the money Hollabd could command and in turn the gleague offer. Guys like Tre Johnson and Cooper Flagg have been the top of their class the entire time they've been recruited. There isn't going to be a sudden spike in the money coming their way that causes them to make sudden decisions. And on top of that Johnson and Terry have a much better relationship so we won't be in the dark if Tre changes his mind.
  14. I'm not sure any individual school NIL program really matters for basketball recruits like Tre or Cooper Flag. Guys like that are getting their coffers filled by a much larger scale of vendors who are ultimately all hoping to secure their services when they go pro. Basketball is a lot different than football due to the enhanced level of certainty you get with top prospects.
  15. And for those wondering, yhe difference between Tre and Ron Holland is Tre and family will keep Rodney Terry and Texas in the loop. Rodney coached Tre's father and has maintained that relationship. A decision to go to the Gleague won't come of nowhere like it did with Ron. On top of that, Holland's last year to 6 months saw his profile change tremendously. Some saw him as the best player in the class after the McDonald's practice and game. Tre has always been among the top 1,2,3, or 4 players in his class so the Gleague advances aren't going to change much between now and when he has to make a decision like that while the opposite was true with Holland.
  16. On top of getting a national schedule I think Tre (Richard Johnson the 3rd) chose Link academy specifically as a result of the state of Missouri's NIL allowances for high school students once they fill out scholarship papers.
  17. Tre's definitely announcing today. His Dad made a post saying today's the day.
  18. Same here man. I wish the move was for football only. Id love to keep the basketball team in the Big 12.
  19. Of course he'll be down if he's tackled before the ball fucking gets there. Fucking piece of shit refs.
  20. Quinn's biggest issue is he's relatively unrefined. All his injuries in high school combined with losing that year of play really stunted his progress. Also going from a spread, binary, this-or-that system to Sark's full field read system is a pretty big hurdle and I'm starting to believe Sark has picked up on the fact that Texas high school QBs have issues going from a spread to his system. Hence the pattern of not recruiting Texas high school QBs sans Troy Owens who just so happened to play in more of a full field system at CY-Fair.
