IDK if dark horse is accurate. I’d consider them with F4 potential. They’re were already ranked between 7-10 before getting c/o 27 No. 1 player Marcus Spears Jr. to reclassify and commit for next season. They have height and a base play with two 7-footers and a couple 6-10 guys to go with...

Not complaining, but did you hack the Ubben cameras and if so, why didn’t you do it earlier than now?!?!?

That is one of many in that MSU game. Don’t forget the Fears trip.

1. You are correct on the MSU game. He was good that game. 2. We can disagree. It’s likely. However, there is no need for you to try to chastise me or put words in my mouth or attribute ideas, likes, or whatever else that aren’t mine. I have no idea where “your quick handsy Fears “ comment came...

That’s fine if that’s what you prefer. I just personally disagree needing to have Mirk bring the ball up the court.

If you like it, I love it. That’s a 2.1 average for those games. The NCAA average per game was 2.5-3.5 for primary ball handlers.

I live in Houston, so I am well aware of what their MO is. Yes, they did blitz us, but nowhere near their normal rate. Yes, Houston and other opponents will end up with a guard on him with switches and other PNR defenses. That isn’t what I was talking about with teams guarding him with guards...

Yeah, you’re off just a little bit. Probably closer to being off by 100 than the other way. An OOB play isn’t within the offense and we all know Illinois OOB plays probably didn’t convert anywhere near that many all season long. As far as him getting worse in bringing the ball up the court, I...

Well, don’t just go on feel, go back and watch the video. Houston didn’t guard Mirk with their guards and he wasn’t the primary ball handler, that was Keaton and Boswell. Anytime he had a guard on him was due to the way Houston defended the PNR and within the flow of the offense. It was Tomi...

I didn’t say there was going to be a guard on Mirk. If he is bringing the ball up the court frequently, we aren’t in a good spot. I believe my words were opposing coaches would attack him with quicker guards, I’m thinking more like blitzing.

And we saw Mirk back people down from anywhere outside the post how many times last year?

Unlike many on here, the more frequent we rely on Mirk to bring the ball up the court or play de facto pg duties, expect opposing defensive coaches to attack him with quicker and handsy defenders. In one of the videos, Coleman ripped him…actually straight up took it from him.

Don’t sweat it my man. At some point last season, this board ran with “unplayable”, which isn’t in line with the definition. Just a couple of days ago, in another thread, someone said a past player was unplayable offensively. I guess that doesn’t mean the kid was actually a playable bc he...

Resources wise, absolutely, Texas does have big pocketed donors, but they also generate a lot of money. The credit of the appreciation and increase in revenue is due to Del Conte facilitating the move to the SEC Their Big12 departure put them at a near 50 million deficit as they paid buy-out to...

We have a really good one and I love the way he handled the TJ Shannon situation. But, the University of Texas has Chris Del Conte who has done extremely well and they’ve won three consecutive Directors Cups for the best athletic program based on performances of the teams throughout the program...
