Reports are Tristan Thompson AND Jordan Hamilton will not enter the draft, but will return next year.  Can you say favorites for the national championship?

[/quote]lets start with winning the conference championship and tournament out-right first next year. We all know UT can be bi-polar sometimes. I will have them in my top 3 next yr though

Bipolar because of their coach. Not a Rick Barnes fan at all. But he brings in the best talent. I hope they get it done and everyone comes back.

[bullets13]

if they have Joseph, Hamilton, Brown, and Thomas come back, plus a recruiting class including a PG grading out at 98, two shooting guards grading out at 95 and 94, and a power forward grading out at 95, i like their chances.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Barnes is not a bad coach. he was good at Clemson before he got to UT. If any other coach was at UT coaching the bball team we would probably be talking about him being fired.

He has done a great job recruiting... Next year is when it comes togather for the Longhorns!

[/quote]Not gonna happen according to some (very) close inside sources.

I don't believe for a minute that all of them will return.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

I know for a fact Tristan is coming back to play with Myck (future Longhorn PG).....I dont believe for a second Jordan Hamilton will come back.

[/quote]Hamilton is a sure bet lottery pick.

Texas will have plenty of fire power without Hamilton ;) Thompson needs to come back for another year.. He is the key

Texas had some solid players but they aren't NBA ready,if they declare it will be a mistake.

[/quote]Reminds me of the Oklahoma players from year before last. Came out too early. One finally made it somewhere overseas after being dissed by the NBA and the other was cut from a NBA team and I think is in the D-League now. Both came out too early and listening to the wrong people.

Amen.The potential for these kids is unreal but they need to mature phsically and mentally to be successful in the NBA.
