  1. Welcome to the portal. Expect to have an unexpected leave every year and to have 2-3 new guys coming in. There’s no such thing as getting and stashing a talented freshman to build up a program. Too much opportunity to play and play how you want. Brumbaugh left to go to 7-25 Georgetown because he wants minutes. Morris will go somewhere where he can have the ball in his hands 80% of possessions. It is what it is. Gotta be able to replace em in the portal. You get the usc kid, Abmas and the Virginia big guy plus Disu possibly back and we’re sitting just fine. If you’re looking for retention of low to no minute playing freshman (especially on a team with multiple 5th year seniors), good luck finding a coach that you can have faith in.
  2. Uhhhh these guys are considered top 10 locks for this years draft Will Levis and Anthony Richardson It’s based on potential. He’s got a cannon arm and will look great throwing in front of scouts during a pro day, combine setting. He’ll get drafted strictly off that even if he doesn’t make a jump (which he will with the better line, weapons he has this year.)
  3. Bryce had a day 6 IP, 2 H, 3 BB, 1 HBP, 6Ks, 0 R on 79 pitches
  4. This made me curious. this last season at Cal 15/3/3 on 37/30/86 splits (14 shots per game)
  5. Pure stats, really only Miller and Swoopes and Lieberman (that I’ve seen) match up. Better stats than Parker, Taurasi, Bird, Stewart, Moore etc. The greats from the 80s-90s of Tennessee I’m not as familiar with so I’m sure I’m missing some players there. Definitely more stat driven now a days but there was talent all over those UConn and Tennessee teams every year. Iowa really only has one other player that’s decent. Clark commands a ton of attention for obvious reasons I don’t know enough to have a true arguement for or against it. Just straight stat searching shows another level with Clark but I’m sure there are greats that have close to her stats that I don’t know about.
  6. Got on this topic with a buddy of mine. Is she the best women’s player of all time? Over a 3 year career at Iowa 27.0 PPG 7.1 RPG 8.0 APG 1.4 SPG 46/38/86 % Splits 1000+ points in one season. 2,687 (and counting) for her career. 74-24 since she’s been on campus. 3 tourney appearances, 2 sweet 16s, 1 E8, 1 F4, 1 NC game appearance. The 5 years before she was there 115-50, 1 S16, 1 E8, missed the tourney 3 of 5 years. Only player to ever have back to back 40 point tourney games in women’s history. Most points scored in a Final Four game in women’s history.
  7. I don’t feel like that’s bad. No announcement of name being in the portal or anything like that. Test the nba waters, not what he feels it should be, come back.
  8. That’s the point of my post though. Keeping RT and what we have momentum wise coming off our first E8 since 08 is more important in my eyes then the results he had from 2 historically bad programs. Barnes two previous stops before Texas was Providence from 88-94 where he made the tourney 3 times with 3 first round losses and Clemson from 94-98 with 3 tournament appearances and 2 first round exits and he was very successful at Texas because of the brand. Fact of the matter is RT will have the resources he’s never had with a program with momentum from an Elite 8 appearance and a brand new stadium. He’ll recruit well because of the brand and has seen what kind of team he wants to have. His contract is half of what beard was making and the buyout won’t be insane so if 3 years from now it’s not great, cut ties. But this moment in time, there’s not someone better for the spot that’s feasible.
  9. Who‘s the big hire then? Who do we get that confirms our commits and keeps the momentum going forward?
  10. The “he wasn’t good at fresno or UTEP” argument is fucking stupid. Fresno St has made the tournament 6 times ever (Terry coached one of the 6). Made it to the second round twice and the sweet 16 once. They’ve won 5 conference championships ever (Terry winning 1). UTEP hasn’t made the tournament since 2010 and only made it past the 2nd round 4 times. You can say Terry wasn’t impressive at these places sure, but fucking no one has been. “Good coaches win at lesser programs to get bigger jobs”. Shaka says hello fuckasses. The “we’ll need to hire a new coach in 3 years but don’t ask me who I’d hire” group needs to suck a dick too. “I’d hire Billy Donovan or Mark Few or pull Jay Wright outta retirement!” Yeah like we’ve done with every hire the last 10 years. Beard was as close as we’ve gotten to doing that and his ass was walking through the door before we had the contract numbers set. RT was the only hire to make. Was there a perception part to it? Sure. It was gonna be a hard sell for it not to be RT. He’s a guy that kids will vouch for, he’s got momentum coming off a great run, our two 5 stars have reconfirmed their commitment and Texas NIL will always bring kids in. The questions were about his coaching and we had the best offensive team we’ve had in years and the biggest part of that is returning as an assistant next year Some of y’all are just like Bohlsack or fatfuck Ketch. Everything’s a fucking negative.
  11. I’m in Gonzaga, UConn, Duke, Creighton, TCU, Missouri, Memphis, Charleston
  12. Nsiap. These announcers are fucking terrible.
  13. I watched him play week 1 vs Grapevine. That fucker is ginormous and has some good movement for his size. Might take him a few years to package it all together but damn he is a giant human
  14. It’s a strange spot for CDC to be in for sure. Who’s your big targets? Call Jay Wright? Calipari (FUCK this)? Can we be sure that Oats or Muss bring more to the table? If Terry makes an elite 8 or deeper run, he’ll be given a shot I think. It’ll be quite a story to follow. also, just to re-emphasize, FUCK Calipari.
  15. just picked up Monday and practically been wearing ever since! so cozy Agreed. It’s a very dope hoodie
  16. assuming this is about the TCU safety?
  17. Name for Gilbert’s replacement right?
  18. snagged this a few days back Texas Longhorn 1/2 Zip Hoodie should pair well with the cream baseball hat
  19. Majors isn't losing his job, while he isn't the greatest they are not moving a two-year starter at center. Just don't see it. Inside as in guard. From L to R Banks - Campbell - Majors - Jones - Williams
  20. I like this outside of moving Jones inside and not having Neyor on here.
  21. If Mitchell comes, I like the way Sark, whether intentional or not, has set up the WR room. You’ve got a hell of a room with experience with Mitchell, Worthy, Neyor, and Whit for this year that on paper is a year to make noise and you’ve got open spots to sell to younger guys in the program for next year. Come in, learn behind the older guys (outside of Cook, I think he gets time), and be ready to fill spots left by those 4. Every one of the young guys should have a spot to chase and be able to envision starting in with Arch as your starting QB.
  22. I know a rando rumor Twitter doesn’t mean much but there’s definitely buzz about it all
  23. Good. Fuck em. Them not having a clue is a good sign of shit staying under wraps with Sark/CDC/whoever else is involved with coaching hires.
