Calling my shot re: our basketball team

[HotCheeto]

I’ve been burned by Shaka so many times in the past. I was one of the last to lose hope with him as our coach and tried to stay positive as long as possible until he gave me no choice but to face the music and admit it just wasn’t gonna happen with him coaching our team. I had resigned to the belief that we needed to move on, we just weren’t going to win anything of substance with him leading the way.

Having said all that..... I’m back baby! This is a top 15 team and this is the year that we make a run in the tourney! I predict an Elite 8 run at minimum and I also predict we’re playing Baylor in the conference championship game when the time comes. This team has too much talent, depth, and experience to not put it together this year. This is the year we finally see real progress and have hope with Shaka leading the way. Let’s go!!!! Hook ‘em f*ckin horns🤘😤

I reserve the right to take back everything I just said in the event that the Horns lose tonight. Thank you for your time.

Greg Brown will also be in the running for POY awards at seasons end. This concludes my predictions for now.

 

[jshorn]

Lol

 

[mln59]

put the kool-aid down, ohpee, and back away slowly

Sight unseen predictions;

1. Team doesn’t finish in top 3 of Big12
2. Team doesn’t make Big12 CG
3. Greg Brown underperforms, but still comes out
4. First round loss in Tourney

[mln59]

also sight unseen prediction:

end of game possessions with a chance to tie or win are still abysmal

 

[Texas Diesel]

Coaching matters. We will show flashes because of our talent, but will vastly underperform.

 

[westcoastorange]

First game will tell you all you need to know. If they actually run a play that is actually designed to free up
a certain individual, and it actually works....I'm all in.

 

[littleearl34]

Greg Brown can dunk with the best of em. If he has actually developed an outside game, watch out.

 

[porthorn]

Does the NIT call the final 8 teams the Elite 8?

 

[FTP Horn]

Me and @RLong68 could coach this team to the 2nd round of the tournament but somehow Shaka will screw it up.

If he does win a tourney game be prepared for an extension.

Sorry....but there will not be a March Madness this year.

OP must be new to Shaka ball

 

[GRight21]

Pretty much the only college basketball team of the modern era filled with 4 and 5 star upperclassmen while adding another 5 star freshman.

Shaka is on an island of historical failure during his tenure here but he’s coming into this season at an advantage no other coach has had before.

Lots of truth.

First round loss to a highly seeded Rick Barnes team.

Not sure this is true. Shaka’s Texas teams start out red hot in the 1st 2-3 games then regress from there. We will see plenty of movement, great 3 pt and FT shooting %s and then they will fall off a cliff before mid-season.

 

[tabascotexan]

I’m expecting a dysfunctional offense until proven otherwise under Shaka.

My prediction is no matter what happens this thread will get a bump down the road.

1. Buy
2. Buy
3. Sell. Heavy buy. FWIW, IMO, reasonable expectations for Brown are in range if 18 ppg/ 8 rpg.
4. Cautious sell.

Greg Brown is highly rated but so are the 10 other players ranked ahead of him in his class. He might not even be a lotto pick but he will leave after one year for sure.

Coin flip on making the tournament.

 

[Pho King Master]

I haven't watched more than a couple hours of UT basketball the last 2 years. Actually excited about watching this year. I'm sure I'll be let down.

If Shaka doesn’t make the tournament with this team...full of 4 and 5 stars...after 5 years of never winning a tourney game here with 4 and 5 stars...he needs to donate his brain to science.

 

[Rotarran9116]

Call me back when Football gets fixed. Until then Caka can do whatever he wants and he knows it.

 

[Her costar in the beaver picture]

On paper, this is probably a top-10 team that should make the sweet 16 (of the ncaa tournament) at least. But with Shaka, all bets are off.

 

[mulligan30]

We have a senior point guard and have some good athletes which is good. The question is do we have enough guys who can shoot? Do we have enough difference makers to beat the really good teams. I doubt it. Then there’s the fact we are handicapped on the coaching side.

OU sucks.

Shaka could miss the tournament and he’s not going anywhere.

It may be April Madness, but it will happen. I would hope by April that we may be able to start to fill up arenas. I want to hear the roar of the crowd at the Masters and at basketball.

The sun rose this morning js. That’s my prediction. We’re both correct.

I’m an optimist as well, so I’m right there with you. Just hopefully they don’t disappoint us again this year
