Basketball recruiting

[utisdabomb12]

FYI Jerry Meyer changed his crystal ball prediction back to Texas. I'm not sure on this but I think that's where the Mack to Georgia narrative started.

Huge news here. 

Gerry Hamilton:
#ESPN100 No. 48 Tevin Mack (@sl0wbucks) will be making an unofficial visit to #Texas #Longhorns this weekend. @ESPNRNHoops

I gave the MidlandHSSports guy a shout out on Twitter for being ahead of the game on this Mack recruitment. He DM'ed me and told me that Mack is pretty much a lock to Texas and Georgia isn't in the mix. Take that as you will. FYI MidlandHSSports covers Mack's HS basketball team (they cover that area).

Avery Johnson JR is transferring to Alabama. He was a big part of getting some of those 2015 recruits to A&M. Let's see if some of those guys try and get out of their LOIs.

Why is he leaving?

Why is he leaving?

To follow his father who is the new head coach.

I have watched some of the Mic'd Up Shaka practices, and my description is exciting, competitive, and intense.  The guys get immediate feed-back, and Shaka is Involved and Intense.  A team is a reflection of their head coach, and ours will be exciting, intense, and give 110% buzzer to buzzer.

You can't replace the kind of energy and intensity that Smart brings to the BB team, just as you can't replace the qualities that Strong brings to the FB program.  I'm so glad that we have Smart.  Havoc is just a name coined for a style of play, it's fine with me that VCU keeps it because we have the coach that gave meaning to the name.  Smart is the style of play, and he knows how to bring it on.

Come on down Tevin Mack!  Smart and Texas, a winning combination.

Hook 'em!

I hope to see them play this year, to see the FIC rockin'.

Last 3 CBs on 247 have been in Texas' favor for Dickerson, including Jerry Meyer which is pretty significant.

Jerry Meyer over at 247 agrees with me on $#@!erson. 

"I'd expect $#@!erson to play the 5 at Texas."

 

[Bear19]

I am a little lost. Who is Dickerson?

 

[utisdabomb12]

I am a little lost. Who is Dickerson?

He was a Florida commit but recently got out of his LOI after Donovan bolted for the NBA. Texas is apparently in the mix to land him. Head over to the Tevin Mack thread there's some info.

Thanks utis. Where is he rated?

 

[utisdabomb12]
