Ja Morant hanging out in Austin with the Horns? Sure, why not.

His shot needs work. He won't be able to launch from the chest in D-1.

It's working pretty well for Ja in the NBA.

Guarantee those don't happen without Chappell. He's real close with all those Bmt United kids.

Maybe Beard can find a year of eligibility for him..?

So, the coaching staff  has been finalized. The former special assistant to Beard is now an assistant  coach and we have a new special assistant to Beard in McCain.

To TB14, any more info on Chappell other than  being from the area and has spent like 5 years with UNLV? Because I don't  know much on him? Seems to be a young guy.

Nothing too important. Just that he’s an up and coming coach. This does seem like a big step up for him. But he’s a very smart guy

Thanks TB14.  He does seem to be an young guy and an up and coming coach like you said.  I have only seen that he was at UNLV?  for a few years and helped get 2 guys from us to transfer there. I do like the hire.  Seems to be a high energy guy as well.

A few notes I believe from 247 or one of the basketball writers from BON.  Allen had a foot injury, but is over that and has been working on shooting from the 3 point line.

Disu feels like he is finally back to where he was prior to the knee injury and working on all in inside moves as well  as his 3 point shot.

One of the assistance coaches has worked with both along woth Brock on those 3 point shots.  Apparently, Brock has shown growth in his shooting technique.  

Hopefully someone has worked with Carr with his shot and ability to not lose the ball so easily on offense.

Andrej Stojakovic in town for the big game...

I love the "Longhorns" in script jersey. Nice throw back look

What are the thoughts with him and I guess AJ Johnson both on their officials to Texas? Thoughts on Yates and Holland from last weekend? Who else might visit for unofficial or official visits? Anyone?

Beard is building

Out of everyone, sounds like Yates is the closest to ending up in burnt orange. I think we have a solid shot at Holland, but it sounds like Arkansas is the biggest threat. As for Johnson and Stojakovic, I haven't seen any reporting on how the visits went. I'd love to get Stojakovic, but I feel like he'll ultimately end up at a PAC 12 school (probably UCLA). I hope I'm wrong. Malik Presley is going to be in town for the Iowa State game. He previously visited TCU and the only other visit he has scheduled is Arizona State.

Thank you longhorn_mig.  I did see a report that Mailk Presley was down to 2 schools they believe in ASU and us.  I agree that we are right there for Holland. Yates would be a very nice pick-up.  Think you are right with Stojakovic, seems like he is a lean to UCLA, but would love to get him.

So, the conference schedule came out on Friday  afternoon.  We start on Dec. 31st surprisingly, at ou sux.  We have 3 big Monday games with Baylor at home, on the road at Kansas and then at tech. That are 3 straight big Monday games.   We end the year with Kansas at home.

I still think he stays on the West Coast, but at least we're still in it.
