[quote name="stevenash" post="996987" timestamp="1302723045"] Isn't that already a foregone conclusion? [/quote]Yep, but its good to get reminders ;D

The athletic bigs that LU has had in recent history were of that variety, ala Fairley, Beard, etc.. The only guy that PK signed to TT that had any ties to LU was Petteway (his big brother was a staple at LU several years back and the younger version was at many of the games), but he has Big 12 talent from what I hear and would probably not be interested based on that fact alone. [/quote] I don't expect any TT recruits to bolt as Gillespie kept Asst Coach and recruiting coordinator Chris Beard from Knight's staff.  It would be a nice surprise but not likely. [/quote]Maybe the hiring process should be who recruited the big name players.  ??? Nevamind, we tried that already.

[quote name="stevenash" post="996924" timestamp="1302716541"] Graduating from Rice speaks well for him.  Some consider Rice to be the Harvard of the Southwest [/quote]I knew an athlete from Rice who became a very successful businessman. He told me he didn't have to meet that 'Harvard" requirement to play ball there. But seriously, I don't care if he's fromRice as long as we whip 'The Harvard" of Sour Lake  ;D

If not, then why are they not following if he recruited them. [/quote] Nope!! Because they wanted to play in the Big XII. The guys he got were HS, Big XII caliber recruits, so I doubt they would be interested in playing in the Southland..  ::) [/quote]Thank you sir! You answered the point I was making ;D

[quote name="weslinder" post="996856" timestamp="1302707771"] Paulino was a good player at Texas during their Final Four run, and the years after.  I always kind of thought that he was TJ Ford's brains.    ;D [/quote]I bet TJ is thankful Paulino's brain put him in the NBA ::)

[quote name="dawg13" post="996833" timestamp="1302705769"] What does skin color have to do with him becoming, the head coach 0f the 2012 State champions,you take that to your good source. [/quote]My only problem is that he attended Rice. Coach, I bet you know Steve Trauber.

[quote name="Bobkat" post="996849" timestamp="1302707505"] Was he the girls coach at Kountze a few years ago? [/quote]YEP!

Athletic bigs are at a minimum, especially at the mid major level

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="996809" timestamp="1302703043"] Decello is a good basketball coach. Curious to see how he "meshes". ;) [/quote]I hear his players love him and he's strict.

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="996780" timestamp="1302699978"] I heard from a good source that some of the players questioned his skin color. ;) Decello will bring hard discipline to the program. Question is, will "some" of the players accept it? ;) [/quote]THEY BETTER! Thats one step forward.

[quote name="stevenash" post="996391" timestamp="1302645002"] Dove- NOw that the coaching puzzle has been solved, are you now endorsing your prior prediction of a 2011-2012 State Title for the Longhorns? [/quote]The pieces are falling into place as I type. ;)

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="996212" timestamp="1302618795"] Anthony Decello will be the next boys head basketball coach at HF. He is currently the head girls coach at Tyler Lee. Was at Kountze a couple of years ago as their girls head coach. (of course, this could be subject to change ::)) [/quote] 3-A shaking in their boots now. Especially Silsbee and HJ ;)

[quote name="dribblemonkey" post="996194" timestamp="1302616518"] So what is going on Dove? [/quote]keeping fingers crossed  ;)

[quote name="dribblemonkey" post="996136" timestamp="1302581434"] if rumor  heard at track meet today is true, a certain Offensive line coach that was the 9th grade coach for a school whose varsity has made it to the Drum, will fit right in with UOS. [/quote]My rumors are different. Pat Knight took his name off the list as well as Roc 9former LU coach) and now its  :-X :-X

And the new HF coach is.................. :-X :-X :-X

[quote name="The Spy" post="996097" timestamp="1302577509"] i agree BlueDove, idt hes really a good basketball player but i will admit hes exciting, a star bball player IMO is one who plays his heart out the entire game, can shoot, can play Defense, and isnt selfish but knows WHEN to carry the team. Jacob Tucker is just a dunker and thats prolly all he'll ever be but i just thought it was cool to see a 5'10 kid jumping like MJ lol  8) [/quote]Yo bro! I was just messing with you ;)

This kid is SICK!!!     Coach Barnes get your butt to Illinois College [/quote]I'm disappointed in you >:( How dare you look at ONE MINUTE of clip and decide this kid is a baller.  This is whats wrong with our kids and obviously *some* grownups too, they think dunking makes a person have game. Ask LeBryan Nash in Dallas. Our only High School McDonald All-American from Texas. The kid can dunk-oh well! And I thought you were an expert :D

[/quote]The new coach has nothing to worry about from the parents unless my kid is cut from the team. ;D [/quote] Then you better make sure he can lift adequately. [/quote]He's still recovering from the season ;D
