The 6-0 transfer from Florida will announce his next destination some time this evening. I posted over a week ago that there was a strong probability that school would be Texas. (See comments section.) And that’s definitely still the case. If I hear anything definitive sooner, I’ll let you know.
As for the […]

Look, I don’t want to lawyer the guy to death after a disappointing loss, but there were a some Barnes’ post game comments that stood out to me, considering our monumental collapse on offense down the stretch in the ballgame Saturday.

The first word that comes to mind is frustrating. Texas did some solid things on the defensive end the entire night. Offensively, the Horns flashed some things that could have led to a comfortable win had they been more consistent. The end of the game was solid evidence that Texas could be […]

* Eleven players suited up, and all eleven saw action with only Harrison Smith not getting in until garbage time. This is a deep, athletic bunch.
* Typical first-game offensive display — especially in the first half. Ten turnovers, and once again Texas looked like the […]

It’s that time again. The weather is changing, leaves are turning, and I’m only running my A/C during the day. Yep, it’s almost basketball season, and the 2008 Texas hoops squad is already mixing it up with some of the country’s elite programs with a scrimmage vs. Davidson earlier this week and an […]

Shooting guard Daniel Bejarano of Phoenix North high school committed to Texas last night. The 6′5″ 200 lb Bejarano is considered by Rivals to be the #2 shooting guard and #16 overall player in the 2010 class.
Bejarano picked Texas over UCLA, Kansas and Indiana among others.

I know it’s football, football, football the week of ou, but with the recent commit from Jordan Hamilton and his other brother Jordan Hamilton , I thought it would be a good time to get an unbiased, straight talk assessment. So naturally, I called up my AAU coaching friend to get an unwashed scouting […]
