The only ones I could see UIL entertaining is 17, 18, and 19. Shot clock would prove too costly with the smaller schools.

Lot of Brownwood and Stephenville on this list. Makes me wonder why the town in between could never be that successful.

Baylor. Where we promise a scandal every 10 years and also to never learn from the previous ones.

The Warriors bench were not shooting any differently than all season. The only players who is shooting above average is Barnes and he found his touch towards the last ten games of the season. Steph and Klay will wake up and unless Cleveland slows the game it will be over in 5 this year.

Hopefully Oxford won't be too packed when I pass through Thursday

Just I said last year, Cavs being healthy may end up hurting them. Love and Irving are offensive minded and no team wants to get a run and gun game against the Warriors. Keeping it low scoring is what hurts the Warriors. OKC with their height is the exception to the rule.

Reading that Ian McCaw is leaving as well

Not the guy I expected. My guy probably said no.

If they come out and say that is the reason then Baylor needs to release them and let them play anywhere. If it is the other case I am not so sure because as people have mentioned you sign with the school not the coach. Yes the coach recruits you but it is the school that you represent. Same with high school and pros. Coaches leave or get fired.

Are these players not wanting to play because Briles was fired, or are they not wanting to because of what they learned about the program with the Hamilton report being released and they do not want to be associated with a team that treats women that way?

I don't know about Zalalem and Green. Both are young and have the hype, but they have not done well. Zalalem this season lost his starting spot for 2nd division Rangers and Green barely plays at all. They have time to become better but right now I just do not see them. On a side note, can Lalas ever say anything positive about the US under Klinsmann?

Just wait until he can drive himself to practice. For all the players that have been given the hype, he looks like the best one to break the curse and sustain it. Along with Nagbe, Wood, Yedlin, and Zardes, if he ever masters the first touch, this team should be a force in Russia (or wherever it gets played in) in 2018. Copa America Centenario could not come at a better time.

Been kind of quiet on this thread. Looks like it will be Golden State Cleveland again, but with the Warriors somewhat hurt this year.

Only one name can save face for Baylor. Let's see if he wants the job now.

What about a TV ban for Baylor football? Not from the NCAA but what if the networks say no to broadcasting Baylor unless Briles is fired? The contract they sign is with the conferences so as long as they show the required games the networks (Disney and Fox) would not be in violation. The other schools in the conference will probably be on the fence, but the coaches will like that it hurts Baylor's chance to recruit players. Recruits want exposure and without TV they are not going to want to go there if they are offered by another school. Just an idea

Nobody is going to go anywhere near Baylor when this is all said and done. Yes it is a job in a power 5 conference, but too much risk not enough reward. As for Briles it will be very difficult to find another job, because everywhere he has gone there has been controversy involving morality and ethics. No one knows what the truth is except him, but there always seems to be something.

Out of 300 teams, their is only a 5 spot difference. 67 vs. 72. That is what I meant by just above.

Maybe not, but when that report is finished I got a gut feeling it will be leaked by somebody and Briles may end up resigning.

Yes it is that you forgot about the hometown Cardinals. Lamar's ranked just above Houston

There's even more to the whole story that makes it much much worse, but best not to go into the info publicly. More than just the higher ups and athletic department are involved with these cases.

How about home and home Thursday and Friday with possible game 3 at Lamar on Saturday?

Highland Park will never build a new stadium. They have no room to build anything else. Just to expand the high school they had to build a basement.

Troy has been looking down here recently. I think he already has two players from Beaumont on the team. HPU has a H.O.T. Scholarship that help many of the students with tuition. Only challenge is going from a city like Beaumont to small town Brownwood, but hey it still beats Stephenville.
