  1. Lol I saw you tweet at him the other night. There were also a bunch of other funny responses. I think his funniest bit last night is he was running with this narrative that Beard keeps yelling at Askew. There was one play in particular that he was criticizing when Beard wasn't even yelling at Askew but trying to hype him up on a fast break dunk. It's truly incredible what that guy has become.
  2. True, I don't really follow volleytalk so I don't know what was said there. This board has been pretty respectful in regards to Gabriel. Everyone here knows that she filled a major void when Shook didn't work out but I think there are valid questions about her size. Those type discussions are kind of the nature of sports boards but I think in a respectful manner it's fine. Regardless, I hope Gabriel's health is fine and she finds whatever she's looking for outside of volleyball.
  3. Yeah, I forgot about that. There is an advantage to adding another good setter so they have a year in the system in case Swindle isn't ready the following year. I get the idea Elliott probably had some tough conversations with certain players but that's just a reality of the business. If Elliott made it known that SKT was going to start next year it probably played a role in Jhenna stepping away. As a player, I would prefer that honesty from a coach.
  4. It's kind of wild how the transfer portal is changing college sports. Not that it isn't expected. Texas could be starting a transfer setter, libero, outside hitter, and middle next year.
  5. Loved the grit that Gabriel brought but this needed to happen. It will be interesting to see what Elliott does in regards to the back up.
  6. Good luck to Gabriel but this is good news for Texas. SKT time.
  7. Yeah and they blew like a 4 or 5 run lead in the 9th inning of the clincher.
  8. I think the only conclusion I've reached about this roster is I'm not a fan of the 3 guard starting lineup with Allen at the 4. Carr, Ramey, Jones, and Allen doesn't work together. There are too many mouths to feed with that group of players and we're also way undersized. I prefer this bigger lineup with 2 guards, Allen, Bishop, and Mitchell/Disu. I wonder what the minutes distribution looks like recently between the 2 guard lineups and 3 guard lineups?
  9. Isn't On3 stealing a lot of the 247 talent? I wonder how this impacts 247 moving forward.
  10. Looking back at last season, I'm not sure I've seen a bigger choke job than TCU losing the outright Big 12 championship. That was incredible.
  11. I think having one of Cunningham and Askew on the court is a positive simply because they aren't scorers. As said earlier in the thread, we have too many guys that need the ball in their hands. That's not really either of those guys. I get Askew runs point but he's not looking to score or really do anything offensively.
  12. There's 6 years of evidence of no tournament wins to know what it would have looked like.
  13. The Beard infatuation only reinforces my belief that Texas is in the head of everyone. You would think Texas has one of the worst teams in the country by all these articles/tweets yet here we are with Texas at #15 in Kenpom, #12 in T-Rank, and #16 in NET.
  14. I am for one shocked that a major troll and TCU alum is a bitch this morning.
  15. Look at Michigan State in the last 3 games. They lost at home to a below average Northwestern team, then beat a legit Wisconsin team on the road, and then lost to Illinois the other night without 2 of its best players. And Michigan State is ranked in the top 10. It is pretty much everyone in CBB.
  16. Beard owns Dixon more than any coach in the Big 12. He apparently beat Dixon in similar fashion at Tech. I think it’s mainly Dixon and I can’t blame him based on the ass whoopings.
  17. I’m not trying to troll Derka but Tennessee’s offense is kind of awful from what I’ve seen. They are really good defensively though.
  18. This is an interesting question but which 7 guys need the majority of minutes moving forward? I think this has probably changed and has with me.
  19. I don’t know about Disu but Bishop has played really well in the last two games. I think this bigger lineup with Mitchell at the 5 helps him.
  20. Yeah, this is pretty much it. When our guards play well we are really good and when they don’t it’s an adventure. Shocking news I know.
  21. My big takeaway from the SEC is that both Arkansas and Alabama are way overrated.
  22. I personally think Texas matches up well with Kansas. That bigger lineup of Allen, Bishop and Mitchell is going to give Kansas a ton of issues unless McCormack figures things out. Kansas is the worst defensive team in the conference so Texas should be able to score on them.
  23. My guess is 3-4 but I think people are overvaluing the top of the conference. What makes this conference legit is there are no bad teams. The idea there’s about to be a major step up in competition from the front end of the Big 12 schedule seems to be a bit of a false narrative. The schedule will definitely be tougher but a team like K-State was a play away from having 3 straight wins over Tech, Texas and Kansas. Texas has already been in a meat grinder so while the schedule will be tougher I don’t view it as a major step up in competition. You’re gonna play good teams every night in the Big 12.
  24. I think I’ve changed my mind on Brock. While he obviously has limitations on offense I think he needs more minutes. When Jones doesn’t have any offensive game going I would prefer to see Brock on the court. Better defender and rebounder.
  25. Funny thing is nobody is arguing UCLA is bad. They’re clearly a top 10 team. The PAC 12 sucks though. It’s a really bad conference.
