Welcome to basketball season, people. In this sport, Texas has optimism, a head coach who isn’t dealing with internet rumors & booster skullduggery, and a young roster that will be allowed to work through growing pains without Red McCombs trying to replace Shaka Smart with Jon Gruden. Probably.
Given that we’re all in preseason form here, I’m hitting this review bullet-point style. As the season gets going, I’ll revert to the ‘good/bad/ugly’ format as needed. For now, here are the highlights.
- Andrew Jones is going to be special; it is my opinion that regardless of the available players — Kerwin Roach and Tevin Mack were suspended for relatively minor team violations — Andrew should be the primary ball-handler for Texas.
