Wow.  Mack obsessing over Longhorn basketball too.   He has really moved on fellas!

The team is just young.  Shaka will get them there eventually.  Back to back blowout losses is no big deal.  

 

The Ags aren't very good either if that makes you feel better.  They miss JJ bad!  Our point guard play is brutal.

Doesn't make me feel better.  Rooting for the Ags in basketball.  You guys will have 2 of our kids next year.  

As for us, I'm not surprised and was told before the season that they would take some early lumps.  But you're right, Shaka will get them there eventually.  That's one hire I have absolutely no doubts about.   You have to trust the process.  

We have two blowout losses, I'm not the least concerned and still believe we will be fine by the end of the year.  Ags lose by 2 at home against USC and some Ags are freaking out saying they aren't a tournament team.  We call it basketball IQ.  You are correct that y'all need a PG badly and JJ getting hosed by the NCAA took a team that could go sweet 16 or deeper and probably turned them into merely a qualifier.  But they will be fine and are also young.  I would bet a hefty sum the Ags make the tournament.

He will. Very young team.

Aren't all of the good teams in college basketball young?  1 & done has a lot to do with it.  You can't make the same excuses in basketball that y'all do for football.  

 

Kentucky's roster includes 7 freshman, 4 sophomores, & 3 seniors.  They start 4 freshman and a sophomore.  They seem to have a pretty good team this year for a bunch of young kids.

There are no one and done guys at UT.

Shaka did not have one and done guys at VCU. 

They should get better.

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.

    • Well Mustang fans it's time for my annual end of season rant. I've had so much company up here on the soapbox that I may have to start charging rent. After 3 years I don't think anything needs to be said. We all know what's wrong. We all know why. So what's the decision at the next board meeting? IMO, there's been enough imaginary success for the board to rubber stamp the Superintendent's vision for our future student athletes. #make every second count Due to soft scheduling and a weaker than normal district. The luck of knocking off 2 ranked opponents early when they were not healthy or still trying to figure it out. Also led to a premature ranking and a hollow DCTF weekly award. The 2 late season losses vs ranked teams proves what we know has been the biggest problem.  Football 19-15 .559 Baseball 9-35 .205 Basketball 19-35 .352 GBB 11-29 .275 Softball 1-22 .043 Volleyball 0-38 .000 Overall 59-174 .253   For anyone living in the district, I ask that you contact you're elected board members publicly and privately. Don't let them think this is exceptable. Be the solution to the equation. Not the divisor. This starts at the top and falls heavily upon those walking the halls. They deserve better.
    • I don't think it's 6-5 maybe 4-3
    • Sounds like a good idea, and something’s been needed for a long time. I know—where my kids & grandkids live now (DFW area)—schools are like revolving doors for athletic purposes. I don’t think the DPISD & LPISD option enrollment are anywhere like that. I assume it’s pretty above board since it was an arrangement apparently agreed to also by the state. I do know some kids that went to LPISD elementary schools in DP chose to go to DPHS because of the district rating. (Of course, at the time, DPISD and DP in general wasn’t very racially mixed like La Porte.) LPISD has a high number of kids on assistance programs compared to DP. Say what you will, it does make it more difficult for educational purposes and scores can reflect as much. LPISD is still rated high even with that challenge. Some of the kids that chose DPHS were very solid athletes that I’m sure LP would love to have had attend LPHS. Of course, part of the big rivalry between DP & LP has always been because DP ‘looked down’ on LP even though we worked side-by-side. Now that Shell DP refinery has been sold to PEMEX, DP is changing. Some aren’t happy about it. Some of us in LP are kinda tickled about it after the history.
