Pretty sure it will be a bare knuckle brawl with some other schools for Toppin.

I haven't heard much on the former UCLA (buyuktuncel) how about Longhorn mig?
Toppin got a late 2nd round to free agent target. Was considered a heavy Texas lean, but talking to some of my BMD for Texas; they aren't certain as tech upped their offer and now he wants to see if Texas ups their offered, which doesn't usually happened. But is he willing go out like the FBPs to get any extras. Any truths to this Longhorn mig?
Thus I laughed at tejasrulz and SHA about email address, but whom I deal with most stuff is encrypted, but they are unknowledgeable in my dealings of health and wealthness company yet dealing with lots a BMDs ppl or family of BMDs wanting work for several universities and fortune 500 companies.

There are those who if they want to get into your email, can. This is why HRC had to use BleachBit.

The rumor has been circulated, that he has a 7 figure offer on the table, maybe 1.5 million and Texas may not be interested in going there.

Apparently we said no to matching the seven figures. Unless something drastically changes, sounds like Toppin is a no go.

Also, haven't heard anything on Buyuktuncel. A new name that may be on our radar: https://247sports.com/player/trevon-brazile-46103325/

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Are we dealing with the crumbs from the cake by now?

I was thinking the same. They do need another post player pretty bad. We missed on a few good ones. I was really hoping for the OSU guy as a defender and rebounder.

Never mind, apparently Gerry said Brazile isn't happening.

Sounds like it's similar to what happened with Damonic Williams in football. They weren't going to pay even more money and cause issues with what they paid other players, etc.

Thanks Longhorn_mig. I've heard that as well. But, one interesting note is that Toppin is as big as he is listed. The NBA says he is closer to 6'6" than 6'9".

Sure, that some dumbass tech guy will be claiming to outbid the Texas guys, though.

UNC. Unless they don't want or won't match any NIL deal.

Got 2 weeks to have the kids decide whether to stay in draft, go back to the original school, g league, portal, or overseas. Several of the kids have been told to go back to school, but which school is up to them.

Is there any place to get a current roster cause it ain't on the Texas website.
That is my biggest beef with the athletic dept. They won't spend the little bit of money (relatively speaking) to update the team rosters in an expeditious manner.
