Great News!

Now a certain forward from LA is next

That. Is. Awesome.

Bradley and that forward, the #5 rated player in the 09 senior class by Rivals, have said they would like to play together in college. Things are looking promising for next season already.

no surprise

  But still a huge commitment. When Hamilton finally pulls the trigger this will be a damn good class. Tremble in fear, Big 12.

Brilliant

The ’09 class is going to rival the ’06 group…

Nice work, Rick.

while on the subject (kinda)

I met Minka Kelly yesterday on the Drag. She’s as nice as she is hot.

FNL

Adrianne Palicki looks AMAZING in person…the show doesn’t do her justice.

I thought I saw Minka Kelly at Austin-Bergstrom once, but wasn’t entirely sure if it was her or not (and of course, I was too scared to ask).

My friend saw Buddy Garrity eating at Madam Mam’s.

Man, I love Friday Night Lights.

Williams, Bradley,...

and possibly Jordan Hamilton. If Barnes lands Hamilton, this class will no worse than the second best ever at Texas.

The future of Texas basketball is bright indeed. I’m giddy!!

Great news,

still hoping to pick up commitments from Jordan Hamilton and Elijah Johnson. Johnson will probably end up in the Big 12 anyways so I really hope he’s playing for us and not Kansas or Oklahoma.

Looking good.

This is a great pickup. We’ve been sniffing the final four a couple times since 2003, and I think that this upcoming class for the 2009 – 2010 season might just get us there. Consider…

Though Atchley, Abrams, and (most likely) James will be gone, we should have Mason, Balbay, G Johnson, and a plethora of front court guys (Sexy Dec, Wangmene, Chapman, Hill) to rotate in and out. Hopefully J’Covan Brown does eventually make it in to give us further depth in the back court. That, along with a very strong incoming class could make for a real good team.

I’m already excited about this year, but things are looking bright for beyond the coming season. Hook ’em!
