Perhaps the most recognizable mascot in sports, and certainly the toughest looking, Bevo is a fixture

Now Barnes can go to work on the class of 2010, where he already has a top 5 player committed.

The cherry on top...

Wow. We’re loaded for this class and will likely be loaded in 2010. God Bless Rick Barnes!

Incredible

thinking about this basketball season gives me a tiny hard on, but damn just hearing that we landed 2 five star recruits for the 2009 season made me poop in my boxers. what else is left to do for this recruiting class? do we finally have the pieces we need to win it all in 2009? what about this year’s team? why am i geeking out about this? damn it i want to KNOW. What a coach we have in Rick Barnes

I think Barnes is Muschamp's older brother.

This news is a BOOM MOTHERFUCKER.

No news all this time about this year’s team, nada. But with this kind of herd building, we must presume that no news is good news.

one question

Can he play tight end? Just until the injured ones get back.

by edsp on Oct 9, 2008 11:54 PM CDT reply actions  

Who will still be around for this class?

Justin Mason, Pittman, Balbay, and Hill most likely.

Gary Johnson? Who else?

by JohnsonUT on Oct 10, 2008 8:06 AM CDT reply actions  

Mason, Johnson, Pittman, Chapman, Wangmene, Hill, Balbay, Ward

Check out the clips

Follow the link in the main post and watch this kid in action. He’s got a very mature game and does everything well. Should start at 2, maybe a 3 in a guard oriented offense.

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. If they get mad, you're a mile away AND you have their shoes.

Probably one of my best weeks ever as a Longhorn fan

The OU win and finding out how loaded our bball team will be.

Is it a great time to be a Longhorn or what? We are very lucky to have Mack (and his coordinators) and Barnes.

great pickup!

this is an absolute great pickup by barnes…however, i’m hearing that hamilton has major attitude problems. is this true?

by buiyahkah on Oct 12, 2008 10:21 AM CDT reply actions

He seemed like a good kid in the interview….Barnes will shape hiim up!

wrong

i dont know what your source is, but thats a complete load of crap. theres been nothing but good things reported about Hamilton, both on the court and off. A very family oriented kid. He will be a welcome addition to the program and the Longhorn family.

id really like to know where you’re “hearing” this from…because everyone ive spoken to that has met him/seen him play/known people around him have said completely opposite things.
