Mitchell is carrying on the proud Texas tradition of underwhelming, underutilized, and/or wasted 5-star talent. 🙃

Well, he's playing as a scholarship athlete in college and is a student at UT so that's already 2 things that he has accomplished that you haven't.

It’s uncanny, isn’t it?

[shadow_operative 15932]

always wild to go back and look at the rankings 2-3 years after the fact.

the #9 player in the 2022 class is dropping 30+ for the Utah Jazz, while the #8 player from that class is basically just a high jumper in a basketball uniform.

Stings worse when you consider the fact we probably could have had George but Beard instead chose to go on a wild goose chase for Cason Wallace.

I've been brainwashed into believing "5-star" in basketball is synonymous with bust.

I am finally going to catch my first game at Moody on Saturday. What are my best options for parking?

I could tell you but then I would have to kill you

I always just go park my car at the Hancock center and then take an Uber to and from the game.

Cars and motorcycles are pretty easy. Horse might be a hassle.

[HookEm 2467]

I suppose there are only 10-20 people who actually read this thread so there is no reason to keep my spot secret...

Seriously, did he say that before or after Disu went to the ground like he'd just been shot by a sniper then grabbing his knee?

No updates on Disu? It's been three days.

Since there's no competitive disadvantage to saying he's going to play, I'm assuming they haven't said anything because he's not going to play.    Then, if he's either not on the sideline or in crutches, you will know his season is probably over.  So we wait until Saturday.

[Js1 85326]

Well someone like Ketch hasn’t gleefully broken the news, so maybe not as bad as feared 

[Red Five 40857]

Just a gut feeling that if it were an ACL or something we'd know. Plus Terry said he's "fine". 

[Hermanator 7043]

They're going to hide it until the tournament seeds are announced. I think there's zero chance he plays Saturday or in the Big 12 tournament. They'll say they expect him back for the NCAA tournament to try to get the 9 or 10 seed bid and not get left out because of injury to their best player. 

Will be interesting to see what the committee does

Lot different than Vic.  When Rori got hurt and didn't play, his postgame comment was: 

“We’ll know more [Thursday],” Schaefer said. “I don’t really have anything for you right now.”

[jimmyjazz 45926]

E Hogan (or his sidekick Nick) said this morning that Kurt Bowels reported Disu is OK?  I can't remember the exact quote.  Consider the source.

[TommysTinyTowels 785]

He was on the bench later and walking fine in the handshake line. I figured it was no issue.

[ztejas 43425]

I was completely gutted when he went down. 

If he can play Saturday and play postseason we have a shot. 

If he's done then so is this team.

Yeah, Abmas going nonlinear wasn't near enough to cover the loss of Disu against Baylor.  We might get by a 1st round opponent (maybe a 7 seed) but beyond that it would be pretty grim.

That guy is snakebit.

They say "only" but knee sprains fucking suck man. I am dealing with one right now and walking in a knee brace. The pain and general feeling of instability got so bad a week or so ago I had to go to the ER and get an MRI to make sure I didn't tear my meniscus or something. He's a young D1 athlete though so he's prob fine.

Yeah he'd be out for weeks with a knee sprain. 

But we already knew Bowels was an idiot.

i’ve unfortunately suffered seven knee injuries (subluxed right kneecap five times + torn meniscus, plus i dislocated and tore the mcl in my left knee). even if it is just a sprain you have got to do some real rehab to get the stability back in your knee. never mind the mental fuck that is trying to come back to play competitive sports when your body has failed you so many times. whatever his knee injury is i doubt we will see him again before the postseason, possibly even the big dance.

damn. maybe he just tweaked it and we sat him to make sure he was healthy for the postseason. really hope that’s the case.

[satyanash 14484]

[Js1 85326]

Well at least he doesn't have the shits anymore.

[MAUFRAIS 6628]

Maybe when he hurt his knee he pooped a little bit and freaked out.

I assumed his shots were short because he was clenching his sphincter closed.

[Ghost of Shag 2608]

If the coaching staff plays Disu against Oklahoma then every one of them should be fired with cause. 

Come to think of it, they should play Disu against Oklahoma.

So heading into The Dance we got Brock playing with a broken thumb, Disu potentially playing on one leg and Horton playing in general.

[The_Great_Hornsby 3236]

Typically knee sprains are month long injuries at minimum. But very minor tweaks can be pretty quick turnarounds. Also sometimes people like Disu are just built different. lol

As long as Tyrese Hunter plays like 2004 TJ Ford we've got a chance to make some noise.

Maybe he was running funny to keep the demons at bay and that’s what caused the knee sprain?
