Cool event they set up for the new student section, which is being called the Corral. Hopefully the students show up in full force.

Cool. But Jeff should know better in hosting and hosing a player.

But, yes they have been hosting several big time players since the official visits started back up at the beginning of September.

FYI, from last week...

Sounds like we're trending well with Ronald Holland (5-Star) and it's between Texas and UCLA at the moment.

Elmarko Jackson (4-Star) makes his decision tomorrow. Sounds like it's between Texas, Kansas, and Notre Dame.

Jackson, got 2 nods to Kansas on Wednesday evening. Believe that was his last stop. 

Holland wants to visit UCLA 1 more time, I believe.  He also plans to go to the charity game at the moody center between Arkie and Texas. Hopefully he sees what he needs to see and hear from the coaches what he needs to hear to choose Texas.

There are a couple of more guys on 247 that the staff are working on. Plus the top player in '24 in Tre Johnson out of Lake Highlands and 2-3 other 5* guards in the '24 signings along with others.

Does anyone know Adam F. on 247? He seems to be a guy around the 247 Texas basketball, but not certain who he is. He does have some info. on some 9f the early practices for Texas.

Sounds like Holland wants to go back to Arkie one more time too.

Last year I think Texas was overhyped because of the transfers, and all those guys needed to gel quickly for it to work. that didn't happen.

This year, I think we have a more established core of guys with a few good transfers/freshmen sprinkled in.

So, Holland is supposed to visit for this charity game. Has aleady done 2 visits to UCLA and will make 1 more visit to Arkie.  But won't make a decision until spring. 

BTW,  any thoughts on Z. High a 4 star that is a 4 with long range shooting ability? Not going to call a high schooler a stretch 4 until he can show he can shoot from  deep in college.  But would Beard take both. I would hope so.

Who do you think wins a Natty first? Beard or Vic?
