Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (Oops... I did it again!)

I don’t even know how that works anymore with counting back and such. Thanks for clarifying.
Not sure how one leaves out Jamaal Charles in this discussion. A guy who won the 110 and 300m hurdles at state then dropped a 10.13 as a frosh in the NCAA's.
Our veteran guards are vastly overrated.
None of them are consistent shooters and , worst of all, they have a collectively low basketball IQ.
I'm ready for this circus to leave town.
Perhaps to some extent. The reality is Shaka's program doesn't exactly give me confidence that they would all of a sudden "catch fire" once the Tournament hit.
This is why the "regular season doesn't count crowd" strikes me as misguided. They just don't pull names out of a hat come seeding time. You would the best seed possible and that comes with the best regular season you can fashion.
I just don't know that winning two games is catching fire. It'll likely come down to who is in the bracket.
Hell, Penders' last sweet 16 had everything to do with the bracket falling the right way once Coppin State did what it did in the first round.
well, yeah.... but we're at a point in the season where we have a very good idea of where the team WILL be seeded.
And my point would have stood if they had won in Lubbock. They could win the4 next six or seven games leading up to the Tournament, but winning i the Tournament is how the team will be remembered.
Cade Cunningham is what happens when a frosh has a legitimately ELITE skillset. Not just elite athleticism. What he's doing isn't the least surprising for people who have been paying attention for the last 2 years.
"Potentially?" There is no "potentially" about it. The more schollies Sark has the better for '22.
Sark is going to have 25 for 2022 without even trying.
Period. It's simple math when you look at the current numbers and the guaranteed attrition in the next 16 months or so. He'd probably have room for 30-35 if he could.
Is Texas playing like a drunken bum in losing closely on the road in Lubbock, by 2 at home to West Virginia and by seven on the road in Stillwater?
Or has it simply lost three very competitive games against very good teams?
Pretty sure a lot of OBers didn't quite understand what Okie Lite was getting. FWIW, not saying you were surprised, but exactly how many times prior have you even bothered to discuss Cunningham?
well, how many times has he dropped a 40-burger in Bedlam?
He's a projected No.1 overall player in the Draft, so anyone paying attention knew he was sick. I can't really speak for anyone that just didn't give a shit to know that basic point.
Timing is everything. If it had happened midweek, it likely doesn't get mentioned.

I mean, he's only averaging 20/6/3.5 and is going to be the Big 12 POY and probably at least 2nd team AA.
Agreed. Against the best competition on the recent schedule, Texas has more often been on the slightly not good enough place against Sweet 16 or better level teams.
I think it becomes truly problematic when combined with recent seasons, but this season's team can't control what happened in the last decade.
I just don't think they are playing the kind of basketball that warrants being compared to previous seasons, but that still might not translate to Tournament success.
The tournament exposes precisely a team's biggest flaws. And we have several fatal flaws that not surprisingly show up too often against better teams.
The back-court failings in crunch time have been the most problematic issue for me in the last couple of weeks.
I don't know that any of the three can be counted on, which is exactly what Coleman in his fourth year was supposed to be. A guy in the final 2 minutes you can count on.
No. That was during the time I was living in LA. 2004 was a long time ago though (as much as I hate to admit it). So long ago........Lance Armstrong still hadn't won the last of this Tour de Forces, the Red Sox still hadn't lifted the Curse of the Bambino, Osama Bin Laden was still the leader of Al Qaeda, Rosa Parks & Christopher Reeves were alive, and Maalik Murphy was 6 months old.
... And when they do, I'll be absolutely effin thrilled! Until then, we'll continue to have DB's that have to cover all day, RB's that have to make their own holes, WR's who don't have time to get open, and QB's who spend most of their time playing ineffectively through injuries.
Nobody will remember Jerrod Heard outside of one stellar game against Cal. You know the answer to this question and I don't, but how good was the OL in front of him in 2015? I'm guessing it wasn't great. How much upside would he have had if he had four 4* and a 5* O-lineman in front of him?
Well, they were out of their ****ing minds in 2004. Not Ohio State-like, but not far away.No. That was during the time I was living in LA. 2004 was a long time ago though (as much as I hate to admit it).

Are you somehow of the position that I am debating you on the importance of OL/DL recruiting?
BTW, haven't we landed special QB's the last three years? Or am I overstating signing Card, Jackson, Thompson and Rising?
Don't get me wrong, I'd rather have Murphy than NOT have him.
But I'm old fashioned in that I believe 4* Lineman turn 3* skill players into superstars, and not the other way around.
Nah, I guess I'm just argumentative today. I pray that you're right and that the big uglies are coming.
Potentially, but the stats you provided about the receiver rankings throughout the years was rough to read.
I viewed Card as special. The national services did not.
Jackson/Thompson/Rising were all 250-level prospects.
It's the WORST producing position of them all, along with linebackers.
The other positions tell different stories.
