I wouldn't be shocked if we end up looking for a replacement for the cancun tournament... Gonna be tough going to mexico if there's another wave around that time and it's a small tournament so i bet they cut losses rather than trying to find a new location... could be a blessing in disguise and have the second annual billiken tournament with some bigger names.

Yes, it is. Penny's wasting of top 60 players in his tenure has truly been a sight to behold.
Memphis is a MESS

I am sure I can dig up some old posts, but as I've said - TJ is gonna be the x-factor this year. I am so excited to see him out there.
Also, dont be surprised if Yuri comes in as an elite PG. He's been very good with some up and down performances, but year 3 is going to be special imo.

Have a hard time seeing Gonzaga move.
Could see them do basketball only in the Pac-12 too

While all of this discussion has been about football having bigger stronger super conferences, they would also have stronger basketball conferences. This could help the Bills by forcing the Big East to grow its numbers and strength. Clearly that league could be better with the addition of SLU and UD, which would also add some better geographic balance which could help reduce travel expense for the non-revenue sports.
I think Big East should grow to 16... Add us, Dayton, VCU, Wichita, and one other - maybe Gonzaga

AAC should try and get Baylor and TTU. Would make for a pretty respectable conference for both sports, but especially basketball. Memphis, Houston, Baylor, and TT - along with Cinci and Wichita state, not bad.
I think that the Pac 12 will pick up Baylor, Tech, TCU, and Oklahoma st to make a 16 team conference with two divisions. North/West - Oregon, Oregon St, Washington, Washington St, Stanford, Cal, USC, UCLA | South/East - Arizona, ASU, Utah, Colorado, Tech, Baylor, TCU, Oklahoma St... I think this would actually be a helluva conference for both basketball and football
-
I think it's all going to be chaos. There are going to be 4 16-team ish conferences... I see Big 12 going to Pac-12, Big 10, and ACC (outside of Texas and OU). I also think that there will be some shakeup in the basketball schools.......

Again, another Texas campfire tale, but there are people who don’t wear burnt Orange that will tell you Texas AD DeLoss Dodd turned in SMU so that the NCAA wouldn’t move its office (or lynch mob) from Kansas City to Austin. Now, obviously we know that SMU itself killed SMU football, but as George Costanza said “it’s not a lie if you believe it.”
Financially speaking, there was almost a “luxury tax” that Texas, A&M and Arkansas were paying - basically subsidizing the rest of the league via gate profits. Look at Rice, look at SMU’s Ford Stadium and Baylor’s old field - then look at Royal in Austin and Kyle in College Station - shrines to the game - and almost always sold out on Saturday. I think Dodd had enough of making sure the coffers were full in Lubbock and Fort Worth, etc, especially after the glory days of SMU, when they’d play their home games at Texas Stadium in Irving.
Probably right but nowadays it seems like an annual tradition of TCU beating UT in football
I think this whole thing is just OU and UT getting ahead of the chaos that's going to ensue over the next 3 years. In 2024 the college athletics landscape/conferences are going to be completely different, and I am honestly excited about it.
-
gonna be chaos... OU and UT are just getting ahead on their plans for 2024. Pretty crazy that if they joined today and there was a 16 team SEC, UT would be 1st in revenue and OU 5th... UT swings a big stick.

Williams is a priority because he is a Southern Assualt kid, could be a guy you run the offense through and he has a lot of Jordan Goodwin in him.
He has a lot of Goodwin grit in him and maybe more athleticism... Kid's got bounce. I would love a southern assault pipeline to go with BBE... That would bring us top tier talent every single year.
-
As I said earlier, Forte gonna get us a Texas player. I can't wait.
-
I expect Forte to snag a kid from the DFW area for this class too... I would welcome it. Those dudes know how to play physical basketball.
-
Now time for a big... Great get by Travis. I really like the roster he's building. Go team blue!

I know he's a defensive center, but that jumper stresses me out
if that jumper stresses you out, idk how you've watched the bills post ellis/loe

Thoughts on them pursuing him because they don't think Williams is going to get a waiver?
it's either that or they don't think Williams is a legit PG back up - more of a shooter imo. We need someone to take some pressure of Yuri.
-
I bet we get that central ark kid.. Then I think we need a big and I am happy about the roster and depth going into the year.

If we get Thames, who is think is projected as a PG, and Kramer, who is a SG, I don’t think we will get Hughes. With his recruitment still not taking off, I would be surprised if he decides to go to a prep school next.
I anticipate prep school too

We get Thames - that's what Travis does. He gets his dudes.

Hes had a very interesting career, and if im not mistaken, he carriers a lot of baggage(?)
I think he's a lessor Jevonte Perkins. Obviously would take a scorer for competition the very least, but I would prefer more of a PF/C.

There are some JuCo bigs out there

I could easily see Hughes Jr. going the prep school route. Kid has great potential but needs to add some size.

Nick Kramer has been offered and judging from the pictures, he has visited as well.
this dude can shoot

No TBT team? I thought there was one in the works

French probably has to do what Alie-Cox did, try to make a practice squad during the year and keep grinding. As a football fan, the videos of him were underwhelming other than his size. He needs more than a few months of training esp. on his footwork. That being said, he's a freak and a season of practice and training could get him on the field someday.

wow catching up on what i missed. This turned into a dumpster fire...
To get us back on topic... Javonte Perkins is going to be an all american. Nesbitt a freshman all american. And we're gonna shock the world making the elite eight or further. I can think these things for the next three months, so don't try to stop me.
