Tillman Fertitta is a jackass by almost all accounts. However, he IS a billionaire and I believe most billionaires are jackasses by nature. Most of them have used jackassery to amass their fortunes. Just a personal theory.

This was the least surprising news of the day. He has a kid to support and he doesn't need 50 carries per game miles on his tires. To be honest, I didn't like how he was used at all towards the end of the season. He needs to save those carries for when he gets paid to do it. His first contract won't be huge because he's probably a 3rd rounder (or thereabouts). Hopefully he stays healthy to get that second one.

Jarrett Allen could be a one and done. He was the top Big in his class. Andrew needs more time to develop. Jacob is likely a 4 year guy.

Shaka will be fine. He's a rock star who has a great understanding of the game. He signed 2 Mickey D's AAs this year alone. I would put him in the top 10 college coaches the kids want to play for and possibly top 5. I will put it this way, he's closer to 5 than 10. Texas will be a perennial top 10 program very soon. I will be back to tell you I told you so.

This is a very skilled 6-10 as well. Jamie Dixon is assembling a powerhouse up there in Ft. Worth. Samuel next year. One of the best PGs in the state (if not THE best) in Class of 2018 in Kendric Davis. And word is TCU is the favorite to land one of the best player in '17 in Jarred Vanderbilt.

Anderson plays pretty well for a tennis player, huh? He's been back on the floor for a little less than a year now. Love his intensity.

Yep that's Sam. Their PG Kendric Davis is an absolute dog.

He has games where he does. He had 27 against Houston Christian and to be honest, it looked pretty effortless. To me though, his court vision is one of his best attributes. With a team full of talent, you need a Devon to distribute the basketball. That's not to say he doesn't need to put the team on his back at times but I've always been impressed with how he makes his teammates better. If he played more of a Sahvir Wheeler game where he looked for his shot first, Silsbee would not be NEARLY as good IMO.

My understanding is Kobe finished with 31. Not sure the breakdown but as ccs said, I heard it was efficient. That is pretty impressive against that Tiger D.

One thing about it. He's not going to be rattled in any high school game. Used to going up against the best in the country in the summers and almost always draws the other team's best perimeter defender.

Wow, gotta say it was a lot closer than I thought it would be. Good game to both teams.

Yes. Mack ended up at Kingwood Christian with Coach Sleep Harris. He's going to be tough for the other teams to contain. They also have a very solid big in Taj Royster. He's listed at 6-8 but I think he's more like 6-7. Got some size to his length though and plays very savvy. They will be a tough out in this tournament.

Kingwood Christian Life is a solid late entry into the tournament. Cameron Mack is a handful.

That was apparently a source of the negotiations. I hear the opposite. If Herman chooses, he is free to bring him back.

I'm also hearing Applewhite is not out of the picture. If he doesn't get the UH job, I would expect him to be back in Austin. Also would have liked to have seen Traylor retained but Brewster may be the best recruiter we've ever had as an assistant.

Seeing the staff he's putting together, we will see how this class comes together. After this year, welcome back to getting the Texas culls. You heard me. You'll take who we don't want and like it. Is Tom a lock? No. But I like his chances of success at Texas. And make no mistake. Ol' PM is scared. Because it's either scared or dumb and I'm betting the former.

Miss St lost to South Alabama who lost to ULL sooo...

Chins up Titan fans. Good news is after being the best QB on campus since he was a freshman, you have a kid who will finally get to start his senior year. And watch how much more effective Hines will be with Jones taking the snaps and a threat to pull it and run.

Best post in the thread! (Honorable mention to Goblin for breaking out the Oxford comma reference - which like REB above, I personally prefer.)

It's jealousy. Besides, you would make the 5A teams look like "boo boo" too but only one of them had the stones to play you. And they looked like "boo boo," unlike when they got into district.

Did a player, A PLAYER, complain in a tweet about the coach losing control of HIS locker room? Smh. Look no further than this tweet to see a lot of what's wrong in our world today...

They have a few different guys who can step up and do that. Last time it was Slazinski who stepped up and led them to a win. I agree with winwin. If they can play Silsbee that close (and beat GLV by 20 the other day), they will waltz through their TAPPS division.

I guess we need to root for PSU, Wash, and Clemson all to win (and Bama to lose for that matter), to really stir it up. But it probably won't happen that way and the committee will get a layup.

Wow. The new UT coach (and Mensa member) Tom Herman is really something else. Hasn't even coached a game and already has the Longhorns bowl eligible!
