I think the fact that we were scheduling recruiting visits with several 4s was a sign. I'm really intrigued by the kid from Wyoming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheA_Bomb Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Too bad about Kent. Texas also signed Tramon Mark from Arky who seems like a similar player maybe Kent is more of a SF and Mark a SG. Good sign that Larry didn't also commit, but I think Texas is holding out for Pope from OSU. So if one of the other Texas schools like SMU doesn't make a play maybe SLU can get Larry on campus. We need PGs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we get a commitment tomorrow and he can go ahead and cancel that visit to Drake. He had 5 double digit rebounding games in his last 9 games.

I didn’t think Larry was high level big 12 calibre tbh From the start, the 2 I wanted were Avila and Conwell. I’m guessing Conwell will go to a Big Ten school. Give us Robbie and Swope and that is good. People can’t say we poached the ISU roster. I think Schertz will actually have better players than the starting ISU 5 next year. I’m pretty sure he can coach them up. CenHudDude likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rumor of 3 seems unlikely. Get Cream! If it drags on beyond Thursday, that would be a bad sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get Cream! If it drags on beyond Thursday, that would be a bad sign. I have high confidence that Schertz will find players to fit his system and coach them. It’s good these kids are getting paid because of the results from his system. It will make others want to be part of it. And, once former players go to Texas and play for a lesser coach and their stats drop, it will show how good Schertz is.

Rodney Terry is a likeable dude and he got to the Elite 8 in his interim year and was awarded the job. He's never won significantly at any other HC stop, sound familiar? I've been worried he's Texas Crews since he was hired. Many Texas fans question his coaching. They were just so inconsistent last season. I can't tell yet if Terry has a coherent offensive system and defensive scheme. These guys might not perform optimally like in Schertz's system. It's really hard to beat Texas when they get someone on campus for a visit. If the majority of the team came over then I was thinking NCAA bid. With a lot of new pieces that's less certain. But I'm hopeful, Schertz had 8 new players last season and they gelled on offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of the guys I hope we get but I trust Schertz to get the right guys. Might not be as strong of a first year if we don't land Robbie and them but imo Schertz was the one who made those guys who they are.

Larry and Kent appear to be unrated coming out of HS. Unrated as in no stars. Not on anyone’s radar. Both cashing out at Texas. Avila was a 2 star center with minimal regional interest. Now he’s a 4 star transfer and one of the best bigs in the country. Conwell was a 3 star coming out - highest regarded of the bunch. Even if we miss out on this cycle. There will be plenty, plenty more. stmdragons likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
