  1. It will be interesting how this works for TCU. They seem to be going the "tiktok" and "social media" route with the Prince, HVL, and Cavinder types. Talented players but also big personalities.
  2. This is starting to feel like what @closetojumpingsaid in the recruiting thread that Garrison's handlers apparently have a high premium on his value. This feels like a recruitment that just comes down to if we value Garrison enough to pay him what he wants.
  3. Sounds like that's where Arterio Morris is headed. They likely just hired him to get Morris.
  4. Terrence Shannon, Arterio Morris, and now maybe Pop Isaacs. CB certainly doesn't mind recruiting players that have a questionable history with women.
  5. Somebody from On3 made a prediction for Pop Isaacs to Ole Miss. Nothing like having a fiance-beating head coach paired with a player that likes to sexually assault women.
  6. I mean it's just a dumb comment. Another final 4 team (Alabama) just won with their top 3 players transferring from Ohio, South Dakota State, and Hofstra. Really good players come from non-P5 schools in college basketball. Those type players are not "low hanging fruit." Do you think Larry was an easy get simply because he went to a non-P5 school? You do know that schools like Duke, Baylor, Kansas, Kansas State, etc were all involved right?
  7. You implied players like Mark and Larry are "low-hanging fruit" because they aren't 1st or 2nd team P5 players. They are very good players and generally the type of players you have to add from the portal.
  8. I want you to list all the 1st and 2nd team players from P5 programs you think are available in the portal. There's like 2 or 3 of these available on a good year. Last year there was only 1 (that I can count) and that team lost in the 2nd round. Teams build around good P5 players and all-conference players from G5 programs because that's generally what is available. Let me guess, you blame RT for not landing a 1st or 2nd team All-conference P5 player last year when there was only 1 available?
  9. Hunter not being a PG is the problem. He's 6'0 and he's an average shooter (at best). Nobody wants that as a shooting guard/2.
  10. Hunter was so bad at PG that RT had to change course in the middle of the season and play Abmas at PG. I don't think we make the tournament if RT keeps Hunter at PG. The change happened after the terrible losses to UCF and West Virginia when we were 1-3 in the Big 12.
  11. Hunter has been the 3rd best guard on all those teams. E8 team at Texas (Rice and Carr) R32 team at Texas (Abmas and Weaver. Frankly, Weaver should have received more of Hunter's minutes) S16 team at Iowa State (Brockington and Kalscheur. Hunter put up better numbers than Kalscheur but he dd a lot of little things and especially on the defensive end). Hunter has been surrounded by legit college guards for his entire career. Yeah, you can win with him "if you have the right pieces around him" and he's your 3rd best guard but that summarizes him as a player.
  12. What's the question. You referring to the starting 5? There are some tough decisions if Texas also adds Pope. Larry (only prototypical PG on the roster) Mark (started at UH/Arkansas and is probably a top 25ish transfer) Johnson (#6 recruit) Weaver (really productive for Texas last season) Pope (top 40ish transfer and started every game at Oregon State) Only 3 spots. Somebody good is gonna have to come off the bench.
  13. I don't think Mitchell is complete garbage. He's a limited offensive player but he can defend and rebound. Mitchell's ranking at #33 seems fine but that's if he's willing to embrace he's that type of player. Reading between the lines, I think he's going to want more $ than what his value is which is about right at #33. Hunter shouldn't be ranked anywhere close to 31. Personally, I think every guard on our roster could be better than him next year.
  14. If Texas does land Pope, it will be interesting who will start 1-3. I think it will be Larry, Mack, and Johnson. Pope as the 6th man. Larry is a more prototypical PG so think he has to be in the starting lineup. Not sure where Weaver fits in this either. Our backcourt could be pretty damn good next if it also includes Pope.
  15. I think Storr is drastically overrated. He can score but that's about the only thing he can do. He's not a good playmaker for others, bad rebounder, and not a great defender. Mark is straight up better than Storr.
  16. These rankings seem fair other than Mark. He's much better than the 40th best player in the portal. 247 has Mark ranked at #24 which is more in line with where he should be.
  17. By my count, there are only 3 P5 players in the portal that were 1st or 2nd team this year. Ballo (1st team Pac 12), Storr (2nd team Big 10), and Aidoo (2nd team SEC). I'm pretty sure we pretty much passed on Storr for Mack.
  18. Not sure, you need a subscription but we currently have the #4 portal class in his rankings (that's without Pope). The biggest point is that the argument "you need 1st and 2nd team P5 transfers" to make a deep run in March is one of the dumbest things I've read. Most of those players run out of eligibility, go pro, or don't transfer. Last year, I believe there may have been only 1 transfer who was a 1st or 2nd team player in a P5 conference (Hunter Dickinson). Caleb Love was an honorable mention in the ACC, I don't think Kel'el Ware even made an honorable mention in the Pac 12, LJ Cryer was 3rd team all Big 12, etc. The idea a bunch of 1st and 2nd team P5 players are available is how clueless @UTEE97is.
  19. UCONN just won a national title with these players having a significant role. Tristen Newton (transfer from East Carolina), Hassan Diarra (couldn't even get minutes at aggy), Cam Spencer (transfer from Rutgers/Loyola Maryland and had never made the NCAA tournament as a player). I don't think you watch college basketball.
  20. If you think Tramon Mark and Julian Larry are "low hanging fruits" you're clueless. Once/if we land Pope, we will likely have the #1 or #2 portal class in the country based on Evan Miya's portal rankings.
  21. The other thing about Mark is he put up those numbers playing on 1 shoulder for most of the year. People should go back to the aggy game where he dropped 26 in College Station. He was essentially playing with 1 arm/shoulder. That's also why I find the "bad teammate" discussion to be funny. A lot of players wouldn't have played through what Mark did this past season. https://247sports.com/Article/tramon-mark-fights-through-injury-to-lead-hogs-past-texas-am--227491978/
  22. Feels like this is the more likely one since it's somebody we offered but it could also be Karter Knox. Another Kentucky decommit, wing, and higher rated than Scott.
  23. Weird choice for a player of his caliber. A coach that hasn't made the tournament in 3 years at OU and a new coaching staff at Oklahoma State. But @closetojumpingseems to be implying that his handlers want more $ than his actual value.
  24. That’s not a HS recruit if you’re referencing what Womack is talking about.
