We offered Gui after Joey Hart decommitted from UCF My point is that the coaches may not have wanted any more wings.

Hart will have a cardiac while walking into the ground floor Basketball Office and being dwarfed by the 10' wide Longhorn over the elevator! They don't have those in Linton...

Probably TMI but here is a 20 minute video of the UT hoops facility. I scanned the video but didn’t see the Longhorn that you mentioned in the video (but it might be). Definitely an impressive facility. UT has tons of money and resources that a little school like Linton or UE does not. m.youtube.com/watch?v=iKi5zXGjLv4

I like the wall with the plaques of every team that has been at Texas...but put it in an area for public consumption. There could be some great conversation and memories shared about the teams of the past.
The equipment guy gave some interesting tidbits, like how the weight of the uniform has gone from 27 ounces a decade ago to 11 ounces today.
Basketball is a funny game though, even us poor $ mid-major teams can go out and find decent players that can make a run in the tournament, beating teams that have AAA rated facilities and amenities.

I'm sure I'll be criticized on my post but here is my take on joey.He is a mid major player who can shoot the 3,doesn't have great speed to create his own shot.Only reason the power 5s are after him is he might be the best available shooter.If he goes to a power school he will probably redshirt ths 1st year and maybe at best be a 5 minute mop up player.

Agree. I think he could be an elite MM player, but hes likely no better than an Anthony Leal at an IU or UK. Those programs would not be after him if they didn’t have openings left and a shrinking talent pool. Both IU and UK have had disappointing off-season when it comes to guard recruitments.

You guys are exactly right but explaining this to a kid who’s mind hasn’t fully developed is next to impossible. He will pick one of these schools and sit the bench then transfer. Rinse and repeat.

You guys do understand that Elite MM players are really good HM players and play a bunch right?
Shooting is in demand like it’s never been in history. Let the kid take his chance, and wish him well.

Small fish / big pond or big fish / small pond.
I think of someone like Jon Hood (Kentucky Mr. Basketball) that rarely played in his 4 years at UK. For UK, he played 425 minutes in his entire career.

You may be right Aces44 but my money is on the Anthony Leal comparison. I hope he proves me wrong though.

Anthony Leal has played 429 minutes in three seasons at IU. www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/anthony-leal-1.htmlHe was born and raised in Bloomington. So I’m sure that has something to do with his decision.
