PS No other Big 12 teams in the Top 16 reveal. Not much room for Texas to stumble in the remaining conference schedule it appears
I mentioned in the game thread that she was in the stands last night, only pics posted were of her and Chevalier.
Is there a reason why you think their names have to be kept a secret? They all signed their LOI's in November, so if Vic can mention them by name, so can you!
Not sure if Femme is still injured, but I've been saying for months that I just didn't see her remaining at Texas another season (assuming she graduates in May); scholarships are valuable.
Hard to figure out the logic of our roster classification listings. But, she was at OSU for 3 years, and this is her fourth year in college. No medical redshirt season that I recall. Perhaps she's already given Vic her word that she would stay for her super senior season.
The one that lays like a guard has to be Madison. The one running track would have to be Abbie since Gisella is under 6'. And that makes sense as getting up and down the court will probably be Abbie's biggest issue.
At the luncheon, Vic was talking about recruits who hadn't yet signed. He said several times that names couldn't be mentioned. He did mention Maul by name, as the one who came to UT to rehab.
The 2023 recruits (Maul, Booker, and Boutilier) signed in November. The only names he can't mention are of unsigned recruits (from any class) or transfers.
Great stuff in this presser, including Vic figuring out that the league office sucks and has it out for us (we don't get a bye week until almost the end of the season!). Some bonus Shaylee content too:
Regarding Vic discussing Texas Exes coming back for diner & a game...IMHO I think it's past time that we honor Clarissa Davis-Wrightsil by retiring her # to the rafters @ Moody. Clarissa was the backbone of the ONLY Longhorn basketball team to go undefeated & win the National Championship. She is already in the Women's HOF. She is an Olympic Gold medalist & international champion, 2 time Naismith College POY, 2 time All-American, and her list of accolades goes on. Perhaps this needs it's own thread, but it's past time to pay tribute to a true Longhorn Legend...raise #24 to the ceiling.
I’m trying to remember to appreciate the season while it’s going on. Takes too long to get here and goes by in a hurry. Great fun to watch the team, learn the new players and see if my expectations for the year play out. Win or lose it’s a pretty great ride, with a coach and team we can appreciate and stand behind. Also nice to have a program that is gaining momentum year by year thanks to Coach Vic. I love this team and I’m really enjoying this year while it lasts. Nice to have a community here that appreciates them as well. Go Horns!
Blame it on 2020. Do any of us even remember anything about that year other than the onset of COVID? Two weeks after that number was retired the whole season retired.
In the 4th photo from this IG post by Rori today, we see Sonya with the team (I think they have an NIL deal with Livestong). Looks like she's in better spirits and with no crutches at least. I'd still be surprised to see her play tomorrow, but at least this is a better sign:
Anyone know why the NCAA power rankings (#10 Texas / #32 OU) would differ from the power rankings published by ESPN (#13 Texas / #10 OU)?
The ESPN one is a product of one person Voelpel(Michele. I imagine the NCAA one is a product by a committee. For sure not an expert of factors used. Just my fair and biased perspective.
