"Perhaps the most GQ-ready look was found on Tristan Thompson, the fourth player selected, also by the Cavaliers. The forward from the University of Texas wore a custom charcoal suit by Paper Brown Bag, a Harlem label, that called to mind a very fashionable Pee-wee Herman with tapered pants and a shrunken jacket. Thompson, 20, comes to the league with a taste for Ferragamo, YSL and Comme des Garçons. 'I definitely like a European look, pride myself on the European style,' he said."
22.5 pts and 7 rebounds in the two Texas wins. Oh yeah, and a winning attitude. Jordan off to a fantastic start. Congrats!
Some Good info on Corey Joseph, this guy has been pretty spot on the last few weeks.
Texas comes in at a 7 seed, Baylor, Duke, Purdue, Michigan St. 1 seeds.
No real surprises: Blake Griffin is Player of the Year, Bill Self is Coach of the Year, Cole Aldrich and JT Tiller share Defensive Player of the Year, Denis Clemente is Newcomer of the Year, and Willie Warren is Freshman of the Year. AJ Abrams and Damion James made the All-Big 12 Second Team. Justin Mason was named to the All-Big 12 Defensive Team. These awards are voted on by the coaches. AP awards are very similar. Also, Texas landed six players on the All-Big 12 Academic teams. Connor Atchley, Dogus Balbay, Damion James, and Gary Johnson all earned first team honors with GPAs of at least 3.20. Justin Mason and Dexter Pittman landed on the second team with GPAs of 3.00-3.19. Congrats.
Following a 1-1 week, the Texas Longhorns fell further outside the top ten for the second straight week. Wake Forest, the nation's lone unbeaten team, slides into the top spot after Pittsburgh's defeate at Louisville on Saturday night. The ACC and Big East dominate both polls taking the top four spots in each. In the Big XII, OU is 5/6, Texas is 14/15, and Baylor is 23/NR.
"Although no official announcement will be made any time real soon, you can expect incoming point guard J’Covan Brown to enroll at Texas at mid-semester but not play this basketball season." With info like that, who can possibly doubt it?
Now Barnes is really building himself a program. We got mommas throwing their babies at us!
