UTDD

He posted as another person -- I highly doubt that is normal for his generation.

KD is a great player no doubt. I also support all UT players unless they really shame the university, and this is not the case here. I also don't blame him for leaving OKC -- playing with Westbrook was not ideal compared to a different style of offense. However, he is a very strange person to me in little ways. His entire social media stuff and how he has "posted" things and so forth is really strange to me. He seems incredibly sensitive to things that shouldn't bother someone of his stature, but it seems he entirely cares way too much about external forces rather than just saying something in his mind like "I'm F'ing Kevin Durant, f' what anyone else thinks and I'm living large in my life my way so deal with it..." I also think he wasn't right to not at least handle his exit from OKC differently than he did. I can understand not talking to them before his decision (even though I would have informed them before I left personally) but why wouldn't he do so after he left? I think the way it was handled was kind of meek - like he was afraid of conflict - and not how I would have handled things because I think you always stand up like a man and just state the truth and just man up and do it.

The Tua brothers' mother is a first cousin of Tuitele's grandfather so they are distant cousins. Don't get your hopes up for this recruit either -- it is Alabama's to lose with Tua being a former teammate at St. Louis and the two families already meeting and connecting well. Hawaii ties matter a LOT to many parents from the state considering sending off their son very far away from home and Tua's family lives there already and of course Tua is now a legend in his home state even more than Mariota to some (also attended St. Louis High School as well). Texas should try really hard to even get one good successful recruit from Hawaii -- it may tend to snowball for future recruits rolling downhill so to speak. A lot of Hawaii kids would find Austin appealing too in my opinion.
