And to weigh in, that Concordia game was one of the more impressive games I saw silsbee play last year...even though it was a loss. They fought and scrapped from tip to buzzer.

You are correct about Hellums. We have enjoyed having him this summer. Saw a stat this week combining all the kids from the major sneaker circuits. He’s leading the country in 3 pt % and is the third most efficient scorer in the country. But what I love most about him is he’s tough as nails. For a scrappy “little” (comparatively against his competition) 6-2 guard, he comes up with more loose balls and rebounds than he should. Some mid major is going to get a steal with this kid. And by the way, he had a 30 pt outing in Dallas being guarded the majority of the game by the most legit 5 Star I’ve seen all year - Anthony Edwards out of Georgia (2020 kid). Edwards, barring injury, will play one year of college ball and be a top 10 (at least) pick in the draft.

Concordia is going to be one of the best teams in the state regardless of classification again.

Texas now has 3 of the largest 10 cities (with Austin at 11) in America, 5 of the top 20, and 6 of the top 25. As sports crazy as this state is, not surprising we occupy the top 2 spots.

Thanks for letting us know the updates AAW. Amazing news so far. Keep it up Grad! You’re in our prayers!

Indeed. Crazy how you can see how a story will be played out when those things happen.

He was arguably the best AD in the country while at TCU which is a big reason they were an upgrade for our conference. I’m not surprised. He’s the Hank Aaron of coaching hires.

I slightly preferred Mitchell Robinson because his upside is monstrous (could be a perennial all star - 7 footer with skills), especially that late. But Williams is probably a safer pick. Won’t be flashy but will be a solid rebounder who defends well. He cost himself a lot of money coming back to play another year in aggieland. A likely top 10 pick a year ago to barely a first rounder. Everyone knew this draft was going to be one of the most big heavy in years. Not sure what he was thinking.

Love the Williams pick. Steal at 27

I might have one or two for you

Chick-Fil-A has the best product and the best service in comparison with its competitors (imo of course). In the end, that’s why they are and will continue to be successful. I never cease to be amazed at how well and gracefully they handle huge crowds, especially in the drive through. The fact that they are Christian-owned is a nice aside for me. But if their food and service was like many FF joints I could name, I wouldn’t patronize them either. You can agree or disagree with Chick-Fil-A or Starbucks’ politics. But neither of them are going anywhere, absent some very agregious mismanagement.

English, imo, is a top 5 or 10 coach in our area. I am also a believer in his abilities. There are a lot of haters of Nederland and I think that’s where a lot of the downplay in his coaching prowess comes from. There are good and bad coaches, just like there are good and bad teachers, doctors, lawyers, etc. On any given Tuesday or Friday, I can direct anyone to the appropriate gym in this area to see good or bad coaching, whichever they prefer.

Very beneficial to have him playing on 8 foot goals

It’s almost a bigger surprise when we don’t make it at this point. He has been unreal. It’s a pretty elite bunch (including his dad) who have their numbers retired but if this season ends in a win and he continues his tear in Omaha, there will be discussions about it.

Stop using logic and reason.

You mean the network that broadcast the World Series? Don’t let your hatred make you as “special” as the rest of the inbreds in your conference...

I know. And the offers keep coming Don’t worry, you can see him play on TV in a power 5 in a couple of years...

You’re right. They probably do have the top two.

Yes. That good. Deepest team in the area with the best player in the area in Tunisha Strong.

Their JV team would have won a lot of districts around here last year. HJ is crazy stacked on the girls’ side.

Although the Jordan vs LeBron debate will continue on regardless of this series, I think we should all realize that LeBron bears a lot of the blame for the state of the Cavs. There is no question he has been the de facto GM of the Cavs since his return from Miami. He has insisted on the franchise making certain signings and pretty much held them hostage to do so. And so when we talk about what kind of team he has around them, we also must remember that this is the team that he basically put together. To sum it up, while is without question one of the greatest players to ever lace em up, he is also a pretty terrible GM...

Meh, I hope OU loses today. Just like you guys did before you entered the “let’s beat our chest when others accomplish things we did not” conference. Or to be more accurate, the “keep it in the family conference.” Why if the gomers had discovered jock riding prior to the last five or six years, think of all the bragging they could have done! Most NCAA appearances (58) Most CWS appearances (35) Most NCAA tournament wins (235) Most CWS wins (85) But those aren’t conference totals. Those are TEXAS totals. Which illustrates why aggy could never brag about conference mates’ successes before, and why the Longhorns don’t have to

Raise your hand if your team advanced to the Supers. Bright side: SEC participation ribbons should arrive by Thursday...
