I’m at Elgin Park downtown Tulsa. Enjoying watching the Poke fans go nuts. Fuck Baylor.

BAYLOR NEWS:

Source: Matthew Mayer to withdraw from NBA draft, return to Baylor for senior season

Baylor forward Matthew Mayer will withdraw from the NBA draft and return to school, a source told ESPN on Monday.

Mayer was one of 69 players announced as having accepted an invite to attend the NBA combine in Chicago, which starts Tuesday, but has changed course and withdrawn his name from the event, a source told ESPN.

The NCAA deadline for players to withdraw from the NBA draft and maintain college eligibility is July 7.

Mayer, a 6-foot-9 junior, was ranked as the No. 63 prospect in the ESPN 100. He averaged 8.0 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 16 minutes per game for Baylor, which won the national championship in April.

Mayer is expected to step into significantly more playing time next season, and making another deep tournament run with an expanded role would undoubtedly benefit his draft stock.

Mayer should enter next season projected as a potential first-round pick and Big 12 Player of the Year candidate on a Baylor squad that returns several important pieces from last season and has added some real firepower in the offseason via the recruiting trail and transfer portal.

Tech will finish the season in the Top 25.

 

Before you Texas folks lose your minds, check out podcast 14 and take note of who predicted the better record for your Horns... and that was BEFORE the current roster was assembled.

Regarding Tech...

 

Friend text that he placed some futures bets for NCAA champ.

Went snooping around and found sites that had Tech with considerably better odds than Texas.  20/1 to 40/1. I thought maybe it was old info based on losing Brown, Jones, and Coleman.

He checked his site and was Tech +2500, Texas +3000

What am I missing?

Possibly the continuity within the tech program?

Texas is going to be plenty good, with a strong possibility of being elite. That doesn’t erase the fact that there is a massive culture change taking place within the program. That would be the only negative/opportunity I see with regard to the horns.

were those odds for tech before or after Shannon made his announcement?

This is a heck of a pickup. All 4 of our transfer pickups this year were pretty incredible. Our roster is going to be loaded talent-wise top to bottom. Now lets see if they can play together and collectively replace or even outdo Cade's numbers.

This guy can grab the ball and dunk… but shot 32.4% from the free throw line!

👀

Averaged 6.6 pts and just over 6 rebounds a game, but seems to have a long way to go to learn to shoot the basketball.

He also had 4 double-doubles, so the talent and potential are there. Didn't notice the freethrow shooting, definitely gonna need to work on that. We lost a few games last year with shitty free throw shooting.
