We have #3 or #4 class now, only behind UK and Duke on most lists.  After an 11 win season.  Jones should be back as well.  I still am a huge Shaka fan and believe he can make this an elite program.  And he's definitely building. 

As for Mo Bamba, he's a special kid.  This is probably my favorite commitment statement I've ever read.  He will be a great ambassador for the 40 acres:

Too bad he will only be there for 1 season.

True.  But he is projected to be first pick in draft.  KD was a one and done and great for the program.  And like Bamba, he always maintained his education was important.  He proved it by buying a condo in Austin and going back each off season to earn his degree.  And Bamba is one of those kids who will immediately be a force.  Joining one of the top incoming PGs (which we desperately needed), I'm excited about this year.  And if we do find success, no telling what kind of recruiting Shaka is capable of.

I hope you are right. Things sure feel on the up-tick on the 40 Acres.

Hopefully we will be much improved.  Think I'm going to venture out to Portland for the PK80 during Thanksgiving (sorry aggy, adidas teams need not apply).  Should be fun regardless - going to see a couple of our kids that will be playing for OU and Georgetown.  And my son loves Duke BB almost as much as UT hoops.  But a strong Longhorn showing would be icing on the cake.

next big thing 

This kid is the real deal.   Last year’s draft was loaded and I think he would have been the top pick (without the Philly trade).  This year, I can’t imagine him going before Bagley, Porter or Ayton.  Some legit perennial all stars at the top of this one.  Williams from A&M may drop about 10 spots (from where he would have gone if he’d come out) just due to depth.   But I think he too will be a solid pro.

    • You won’t get an argument from me that this won’t hurt her nationally but I don’t think this will hurt her in SD or even an appointment in a Republican administration.  I’m sure she saw backlash from some, apparently not from folks like you and me, which is significant, but like I said, I appreciate the honesty.
    • Appreciate the confidence.  Why don’t we see how this works out for her.  Going great so far.  She MIGHT be able to get re-elected in South Dakota next election, but if a good candidate runs against her in the Republican primaries she may be in trouble.  I don’t think there’s a chance in hades she gets the VP nomination, and if for some reason Trump is dumb enough to give it to her, his chances of winning are probably over.  On a positive note, maybe DeSantis gets it now?  If they win and do a decent job then we’d have a VP ready to run for president in four years with a good shot of winning.  
    • I honestly don’t have an issue with it.  I grew up around livestock.  We had a neighbor lose nearly 30 animals in a 3-week period before they caught the dogs doing it. Those dogs needed to die.  I was there when my uncle killed a dog that was eating his chickens… didn’t bother me. If one of my dogs ever bites one of my kids it’ll be dead.  Immediately.  But some things are better left unsaid, and probably 90% of the country loves dogs, with only a small fraction of them being able to relate to why she did what she did.  
    • If only she was as politically savvy as you. 🙂
    • Lots of republicans are giving her hell over this.  An overwhelming majority of moderates aren’t going to like it, and obviously the over offended left hates it.  She’s tanked her shot at VP, whoever you want to blame.  I stated in an early post that I don’t have an issue with some dogs being taken out if they’re biting and killing animals.  But it’s not your opinion or mine that is going to matter on this one.
