  1. I don't think this team is much different from last year based on the season trajectory. L to Illinois, close wins against meh teams in Rice and Stanford, etc. Don't forget that we were also giving up a ton of points at that part of the year (there were some glaring defensive issues). Now can RT get this team to improve like last year is a big question but it's not like our success was linear last year. We really didn't find our groove until late in the season once Disu was back to full health.
  2. I don't understand why some services vote for NPOY before the NCAA tournament is over. You could not possibly watch the NCAA tournament this year and say "there's a better player than Skinner."
  3. If Nolen and Stewart were attainable at the same price, who would you take if it was either/or? I think it's an interesting question.
  4. BYU has played zero teams in the Kenpom top 25. 2 teams in the Kenpom top 40 (#30 San Diego State and #32 Utah). They went 1-1 in those games. Both those teams will end up as bubble teams or around 8-11 seeds. San Diego State is not nearly as good as they were last season. BYU is ranked high in the "metrics" because they've been blowing out really bad teams. That doesn't mean you are good. Against decent competition, they've looked like a bubble team. I don't think it's very "contrarian" either. A lot of people in the basketball world recognize the same thing.
  5. Kansas down 1 at the half to Yale. This is the weirdest Big 12 season I can remember in some time.
  6. The thing that's propping the Big 12 up this year are Iowa State, BYU, and OU. But if you look closely at who they've played you realize there's not much there. I think OU is probably pretty good. Maybe not #22 good but still good. There is no shot Iowa State and BYU are top 10 teams. I think both those teams will finish .500 or worse in the Big 12.
  7. I don't disagree with the Terry and "coaching part" but the issue I have is I think the "analytics" drastically overvalue the Big 12 this year for a variety of reasons. For example, Texas going 0-6 during that stretch above would really surprise me. I don't think TCU, Iowa State, or BYU are particularly good other than rigging these "analytics" by beating the shit out of bad teams. Iowa State and BYU are nowhere close to being top 10 caliber teams. They aren't even top 25 teams.
  8. Down goes TCU. They're 9-2 but were pretty much worked by the two teams they've played with a pulse (Nevada and Clemson).
  9. TCU's schedule makes ours look like a gauntlet so far and we've played only 2 decent teams.
  10. TCU is down 18 to Nevada. This is going to be a weird year. I'm not sure who is really good outside of Kansas.
  11. aggys doing everything in their power to lose this recruitment.
  12. His dad makes it sound like it's just between Texas and Washington.
  13. The big ones haven't yet (McKinley, Bussey, and Evans). That's why I think this recruitment is fairly big. Get Evans to bolt and then those others are going to have more incentive to leave.
  14. He was one of their first commits in the '24 class. There's definitely a long-term relationship with the school and commits.
  15. I don't really believe in this stuff. You think this kid and the aggy staff are orchestrating some big fakeout? Seems like internet nonsense. This feels much like Tyanthony Smith. Kid wants to flip from a sinking ship but aggy is doing everything possible to keep him and there's a long-term relationship there so it makes things tough.
  16. If anybody has a rivals account feel free to post what he's saying.
  17. I'll try to sum it up for you. 1) 16 year old aggy mod contacts recruit/invites him to some random aggy chat on rivals. Evans is the recruit FYI. 2) Recruit lies to 16 year old aggy mod that makes a bunch of tweets that Evans is going to sign with aggy tomorrow. 3) The kid finds out from somebody that Evans is lying to him and that it's not going to be aggy. 4) 16 year old aggy mod now saying it's going to be Texas tomorrow. Yikes.
  18. He's like 16 or 17. I don't know why aggys have this many "mods" in the recruiting world that are kids. It's weird as fuck. It's pretty clear he was stalking Evans who was just telling him what he wanted to hear. Who is the other recruiting idiot they have that's 17 or 18? Aggiesoftoday or something like that?
