Drayton is a baller. I went to Vandegrift with him and Greg Brown. Drayton was the best IM player at UT these past 2 years. He could’ve gone to smaller colleges to play if he wanted to. Greg was a freshman when I was a senior, so he hadn’t gotten very far in the recruiting process. Roy Williams, Bill Self, and Shaka and Bamba came to our game against west lake. His dad played football at UT as a DB a while ago, and he grew up a Texas fan so we’ll be in this one.

Drayton and Greg never played at Vandegirft together, but they’ve played pick up together and all the old players still come to open gym over breaks so I’m sure they know each other.

I remember Greg Brown the DB.  He was on ]Mack's first couple of teams.  He was a solid player.

Is the sound not in sync with the video?

Or am I missing something?

PS- Does Will Baker like:

1) Seasons & Politics?
2) The Beach & Asian Girls?
3) Mild Winters, Hot Summers, Live Music & His Mother's Cooking?

Just want to know in advance so that I don't get my hopes up.

"Hillcrest Hoops" sounds like a very reputable institution of learning

Along those lines, one of his listed schools of interest is Grand Canyon.

Sounds like a school located on a street named "Hillcrest" that focuses on improving Scantron test scores by lowering the time it takes to bubble in the "hoops" on an answer sheet.

No?

Weird for one recruit to schedule 3 OVs to the same school

Commas matter

Didn’t see it posted yet, but Will Baker is set to announce on November 8th

Not really Texas related, but gotta agree with Barking Carnival that this is fucking weird

I might be late on this, but how does the scholarship limit come into play if Baker commits and also McDaniels?

I see 11 scholarship players after Roach/Dylan leave.  2 committed guys to 13.  Are we expecting 1 or 2 transfers then?  Like Banks or an exemption for Jones?

[Machinator 32097]

If McDaniels wants in, we'll make room.

I guess it would be the count on natural attrition every year aspect.  I don't see anyone from the current class leaving early outside of Hepa.  If he plays that well, then that's a good thing for the coming season, but i don't see him as an early exit candidate.

Are you the guy who sank the half court shot at the drum and won a free year of chik fil a about 5 years ago?

This is going to be Jones last year at Texas. He will move on to the NBA, most likely the D-League. Wouldn't surprise me if Ferbes leaves either once his PT is cut to under 10 minutes a game for some unknown reason. Hamm probably leaves as well, as he has already been recruited over in both the 2018 and 2019 classes.

if you're talking about me that was december of 2006. and it wasn't actually me, it was my old roommate who used to use my handle sometimes. it was pretty epic when he tackled the chik fil a cow.

ESPN doesn't have Sims in their top 100 draft prospects so there might be a chance he returns after this year. 

Imagine a Sims, McDaniels, Jones, Baker, Hayes and Hepa front court. That would be unreal. 

[Machinator 32097]

Kai Jones was a helluva find and land by Shaka. He's much more skilled than I originally gave him credit for.

 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Kai Jones is a NBA prospect. He's just your normal long-term recruit that needs a couple years in a college strength and conditioning program.
