This site and I owe each other nothing.  I joined some months ago, brought my Big 12 roster breakdowns, generated little meaningful discussion, and pretty much left.  I haven't been reading this forum or the articles here.  The only reason I commented on this particular article is that it popped...

The Bill Self legacy of NBA big men?  Quick.  Name an NBA PF or C who played under Self at Kansas who is pulling 6 figures.  You can't do it, because there are none. Making college superstars of big men?  In Self's 13 years at KU, he's had two first team All-Americans at C or PF.  Wayne Simien...

Iowa State Lost: Fred Hoiberg, Bryce DeJean-Jones, Dustin Hogue, Daniel Edozie Gained: Steve Prohm, Hallice Cooke, Nick Weiler-Babb, Deonte Burton (mid-Dec.), Simeon Carter, Brady Ernst Ungained: top recruit in class Nick Noskowiak, who left after picking up several criminal charges So what...

Baylor Lost Kenny Chery and Royce O’Neal to graduation. Deng Deng decided to leave. Gained King McClure, Wendell Mitchell, Jake Lindsey. JUCO addition Jo Acuil was recently diagnosed with a heart condition and will sit at least 8 weeks for study. Manu Lecomte, transfer from Miami, won’t be...

Now we know the real problem Texas had this year.  Lack of opportunity to play OU in the first 5 weeks. 

Six, if we assume no redshirts, early departures, transfers Texas has only 12 on scholarship this year.  Ridley, Ibeh, Lammert, Holland, Felix all graduate.  I'm guessing Taylor will leave early, so seven spots will be available.  The next season will then have us losing only two (Cleare and...

I see more similarities than differences, even if Banks is a little longer and probably the stronger post defender and not quite so adept with the mid-range jumper.  While the natural inclination would be for Banks to be a 5 and Allen a 4, I don't know if those numbers will have much meaning on...

Long, willing to mix it up inside, shows a strong tendency to beat everyone down the floor.  Love this acquisition for more reasons than the fact Texas was facing a huge hole in the middle after this season.

Shortly after Strong was hired, Stephen A. Smith said UT should give Strong a chance and every resource to fix the mess and forget the politicking and just let him coach.  He also made a big point about (what else?) the difference between having a job and being black and having a job and being...

High ankle sprain.  Day to day. http://www.hookem.com/2015/10/05/charlie-strong-press-conference-highlights-it-does-look-gloomy/

If I gave a single flying you know what about what Stephen A. Smith has to say, I might consider updating Flash player and reactivating it in my browser. But I don't, so I won't.

No, it would be due to a combination of Brown leaving a dumpster fire, Strong making some poor hiring decisions, Strong not making connections with the powers and influences, and Strong not doing enough with the roster he inherited and the time available to make additions to the roster and...

I don't quite understand what you mean by "If Strong falls."  If we are talking about him very quickly losing his job before he has had an adequate opportunity to build his talent base, it will be because he did not ingratiate himself with powerful donors and the administration.  If we are...

No to all, but when are we ever 100% sure of winning a game in even a good season? We had some awful games early (BYU), in the middle (KSU), and at the end of last year (TCU, Arkansas), but we also had a win (WVU) and close losses (UCLA, OU) to ranked teams on the heels of some of those losses...
