If you're not familiar with Twitter, this title might not make very much sense. You're also probably older than srr50.

It's not a typo. And it's not a long dormant Y2K virus.

It's incoming freshman PG Myck Kabongo's Twitter feed and he's already uniting nations with it. Myck doesn't accept the term Rebuilding, nor should you.

Saturday's Tweet:

"Long Horn Nation Safe To Say @SdotGibbs13 Is Hook'D ?"

That was two days before Ashton Gibbs' little bro, Sterling, committed to Texas.

Then Monday night, Barnes' best new recruiter, was at it again:

"D.D. Wednesday ? hmmmmmmm RELOADING!"

It's not D.D. Lewis Day tomorrow in Austin. That's in July. He's talking about Deandre Daniels, the kid who was supposed to come to Texas then Kansas then Duke and now has come full circle. Perhaps it's wishful thinking, or a new form of Afro-Canadian Twitter diplomacy where Kabongo is the puppetmaster and we're just along for the ride.

With Texas losing most of its starting lineup to NBA glory, Daniels knows he can come to Austin, log 30 minutes a game as a freshman and get set up by the best playmaking PG in the country before taking his talents to the League.

If that's the case, we just upgraded from NIT bound to firmly on the bubble. Clinging to Joe Lunardi's hair helmet. Relaxing on Kate Upton's breast. This is the New Physics brought to you by Myck Kabongo and we think you'll like it.

Here's some footage on Daniels from last summer. If you're going to rely on a freshman to come in and fill up the bucket, Deandre is a pretty good bet.

I like Kabongo even if he’s only here for a year. They really need to change the “one and done” rule in college basketball. It is slow suicide for the NCAA tourney.

let’s hope the nba collective bargaining changes the 1 and done.

I Like Myck.

Get ACE on an Eisenhower button photoshop, stat.

Does he give any predictions on the end of the world this Saturday?

Better than a bubble team, unless you just had to run those lines out there.

ACE is working on something even better.

Best DD since Dolly Parton.

And yes, we’d only have him for one year. So prepare yourself fragile Horn fans who like to feel personally spurned!

Is there not a 6’6, volume shooting 2 star we could have for 4 years in place of this Daniels rental?

So we should start battling Texas Southern for recruits?

personally, i don’t like how college basketball does things. i think they should make players available to the nba after one game. that way every game would be a whole new lineup for both teams.

every game would be like opening a new box of chocolates.

Dickie V might have to open a Diaper Dandy Day Care here in Austin.

Daniels told Bill Self this morning that he’s coming to Texas.

Daniels told Bill Self this morning that he’s coming to Texas.
If true, WOW.

We will be awash in frosh, and should make the tourNay.

Looks like Daniels won’t decide today after all. per Jerry Meyer @3starmeyer

Good chance that daniels will not make an announcement today. Looks like he is torn between texas and kansas.

Darrell Arthur has to be impressed.

So what does that mean since today is the last day of the signing period? I can’t find anything on the netwebs.

by Texastough on May 18, 2011 1:01 PM CDT reply actions

good lord

If he goes to Kansas, it’s your fault.

by Vasherized on May 18, 2011 1:40 PM CDT reply actions

Latest from Meyer and others is that he will announce today.

Texastough: If he does not sign today, he buys more time but also more hassle. He may sign scholarship agreements with as many schools as he chooses, and then can pick one. However, he can be recruited until he goes to class.

is that jordan h mk 2?

Multiple sources now saying to tune in tomorrow.

I’m not at all surprised to see at least one more twist.

by Bob in Houston on May 18, 2011 3:41 PM CDT reply actions

His IMG teammate, Jamari Traylor, chose KU today. I think that IF DD was going to sign with KU, today would have been the day to do it. I believe he ends up at Texas.
