Jagneaux is out from what I hear. Took a job elsewhere in Houston. BC did offer a job to one coach, who is mulling it over. I'm not into the baseball scene but this one gets crazier by the second. Remember coaches change their mind all the time. Stump will make the right hire.

Just for you HJHAWK

Coach Roc will announce his two new assistants and a new director of basketball operations on/or around June 24. I also asked Roc about a schedule and he's nearly finished with it as well. Remember, I told you about Tic Price. More to come! Kermit is still on staff.

Maybe this won't get deleted....! : No names, just post a photo!

How'd you get the DCTF book so early?

1st QB could likely be this upcoming season starting QB @ Navarro, Andre Bevil (WO-S).

The mag is a good read and good reference tool....BUT It's done early spring. Old info is included because of press time. Several kids don't play anymore and are listed as well as TONS of misspelled kids' names. If you want accurate info, contact the coaches in early August. I personally believe the magazine comes out way too early. The section in the magazine is the college previews.

Per Jorge Coit Four games will be played beginning at 11 a.m. for Class 3A-A underclassmen; 5A-4A underclassmen game at 1:30 p.m.; 3A-A seniors at 4 p.m. and the 5A-4A seniors at 7 p.m.

LOL...You got me. I fell for it.

Come on guys....some of you are way off in things because of what certain people post. Rumors, rumors rumors. Stick with credited sources, not hearsay. Boutte did not say no, he didn't say yes. How in the world do you know whether or not he was offered?

Hopefully by June 1 LU will announce that Tic Price will be the newest men's hoop assistant. It looks like its a go.

AUSTIN, Texas — Combo guard J’Covan Brown (Port Arthur, Texas) has signed a National Letter of Intent to play basketball next season at The University of Texas, head coach Rick Barnes announced today. Brown will join the Longhorns for the 2008-09 season. Brown (6-2, 180), who spent his junior and senior seasons at Port Arthur Memorial High School, is ranked as the No. 40 high school prospect in the nation by Scout.com and the No. 42 prospect by Rivals.com. As a senior at Memorial, he averaged 29.9 points per game while playing in 11 contests. Brown earned all-state and all-region honors along with first-team All-District 21-5A accolades during his junior year, leading Memorial to a 29-6 record while averaging 27 points, six assists, five rebounds and three steals per game. He posted a career-high 50 points in a non-district game at Spring Westfield HS. Brown played his freshman and sophomore seasons at Beaumont Kelly High School and led the Bulldogs to back-to-back 6A TAPPS (Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools) state titles. He averaged 25 points, seven assists and six rebounds per contest while earning first-team all-state honors as a sophomore. In his freshman year, Brown averaged 20.3 points, seven assists and four rebounds per game while earning second-team all-state accolades.

Early projected regionals mean nothing! I posted this on my board...LU has struggled the last few in the SLC tourney and with the lack of pitching this year, it wont get any easier!

Confirming that Brandon has left, I have conformation that his wife Natalie has left the volleyball coaching staff to join Brandon in the private basketball biz.

EC's Tramain Thomas & Spurger's Phillip Whittaker will play for the white team in the 1A-3A TABC all-star game later this summer.

You mean, this fella: MR Wrestling IIhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywC1DlKm1jY

Per the Cougar Den, PA Memorial defensive end Radermon Scypion has verbally committed to play for Kevin Sumlin and the UH Cougars. Scyp is 6-4, 230.

Ok guys... Here is the latest info I heard last night, this coming from someone on the SELECTION COMMITTEE. CDC (Rice AD) is now stating he thinks these few candidates were playing him and they were using Rice as a method of getting much more money from their respected schools. Yes, CDC was ready to hire and had offered. But, CDC has now thrown his hands up in the air and has no one to hire at this moment.

Even beat the Chronicle on this one. Nerds will likely hire Trent Johnson of Stanford as their new HC. Could also be Mich State assistant. Nerds paying $600K per year on this one. Now, don't make me look ignorant NERDS!

He's going into the private side of the basketball business.
