August 8, 20205 yr 35 minutes ago, hornfromdallas said: the moment collins committed shaka started working on joplin & stopped his adams pitch shaka liked joplin better i dont know whats so hard about comprehending this joplin has a midrange shot & can shoot 3's adams can not Joplin has offers from Wisconsin, Ohio State, Marquette, Iowa, and Butler. All good programs. I can get why people would question the Itejere and Ellis takes based on the offer list but Joplin is far from a bad take. Joplin is going to end up a composite 100ish type very similar to Adams. Even if you think Adams was a take it's not like they're replacing a 5 star with a random 3 star that nobody has heard of before. Joplin has been one of the most talked about names on the summer circuit. Edited August 8, 20205 yr by texasstrong12
August 8, 20205 yr yeah nobody should feel like Joplin is a bad take, or a guy we only took because we didn't land Adams. Joplin will be a good player who is likely a 4-year guy, which should be a welcome sight to all UT basketball fans.

Edited August 8, 20205 yr by shadow_operative
August 8, 20205 yr I have a friend who’s pretty tapped into Austin basketball. Last off-season he was saying Brock needed to play more for us. I had no clue because I only really look at rankings. My same friend doesn’t think KJ is very good.

It’s cute.
August 8, 20205 yr "doesn't think KJ is very good", lmao. quick, someone tell Chris Beard or Bill Self to hire this guy's friend! i mean they, along with every other coach and recruiting service in the country thought that KJ >>> Brock, but hey, your friend is tapped into the Austin basketball scene! it's so funny how there wasn't a negative word said about KJ, nor a single thing about how Texas didn't want him, until after he chose to go to Kansas. the truth is that KJ's game and physical attributes have all clearly improved over the last year, only KJ isn't 6'9" or 6'10" like people projected him to be at this stage, so he's dropped in the rankings. thats it. his play for both his AAU and HS teams speaks for itself- he's the best player/alpha dog on Team Griffin, which has a ton of D-1 talent on it, including Damion Collins, who we all still like/want to come to Texas- that is, unless he commits to OU, in which case he sucks and we never wanted him anyway, right? the tape, the stats, the W/L record, the work ethic, the physique, the fact that he led a team of short white kids who will never play ball after HS to a 33-2 record last year- anyone who thinks that he's "not very good" shouldn't be taken seriously, even if he's your friend.
August 8, 20205 yr also, as for these hyper aggressive Dallas guys who keep bragging about their connections, let's run down what we have here: you have a cousin, who is friends with some players on the team, and apparently you think that Shaka and staff keep all of their players totally tuned in to the program's recruiting comings and goings. those players then get in touch w your cousin, who then tells you what's what, so that you can come here and tell all of us what's what. yup, sounds super plausible and air tight. meanwhile all i have is dozens of lifelong, first hand connections to the program, including countless current and former players, coaches, SID's, AD's, pxp guys, you name it, as well as a relationship with the player in question, PLUS, a metric shot ton of circumstantial evidence (you know, like KU, BU, TTU, Rick Pitino, etc all trying to sign KJ) which all points towards KJ spurning Texas, and not the other way around. hmm, tough call on what to believe here. could go either way.
August 8, 20205 yr and as for revolution512, seriously- take a step back, look at yourself, and reevaluate. everyone else here is talking recruiting; you are in here whining about my presence, and nothing more. nobody is derka'ing this thread but you.
August 8, 20205 yr Guys, the all time assists per game leader playing at least 200 games for the Spurs would have been a 2 star if there were ratings back then. There are plenty of under the radar kids that once they get good coaching and in a good strength program can blow up big time. Its not always about how many stars and what offers a young man has. Some kids mature faster than others and a good coach can spot those kids. Let see what some of these kids do once they get on campus.

All that you have been doing since you started posting here is crowing about all the players you know, etc. You even did so earlier today. Big deal. That doesn't mean crap. I was friends with Dr Cooley but that doesn't mean I know heart surgery. I know more players than you do and you know what I call them? I call them fellow teammates. And as far as stating an opinion, you have yet to learn that your opinion isn't a fact and that a differing of an opinion from yours doesn't mean that the other poster is wrong. Maybe you'll figure that out one day. And btw, I am about 90% sure that I know who your Dad is and if I am right, your Dad had interviewed me when he was a member of the Austin sports media.

I thought Johnny Moore was a freshman in 1976. Abe showed up in Austin in 1976. Moore's rookie year with the Spurs was 1980. But sure, you're absolutely right, he was a finished product when he arrived.

I never said that he was a finished product when he arrived but to discount his first 2 years of development was inaccurate.
August 9, 20205 yr So shadow is derka? how many accounts do you need? depends on which personality he is that day?

August 16, 20205 yr Joplin is going to be a really good player. These are the kind of players that Texas has had some success turning into workhorses at the next level.I am an ATX-homer, but I agree that Joplin will be better than Adams.
August 16, 20205 yr thats 1 of the 2 silents collins should be dropping soon as well possibly next week
