Looks like Kai Jones over Will Baker for Texas

[SheriffBufordTJustice]

I agree. Rick Barnes would have went for the sure thing and recruited Baker.

Will Baker may be a good center but he is not the type to impact the game on both ends at a high pace.

Has Texas regretted letting Barnes go yet?

Rick Barnes is a decent coach but far from elite.
The majority of time he underachieved.

Every always ragged on Barnes while he was there it seemed like.

Under Rick Barnes like under Mack Brown the population of Texas almost doubled from 1990 to 2010.

Because of the tremendous wealth created from from the FB program Rick Barnes had everything he ever wanted.

He only could get to 1 Final 4.

Yeah, but still think he is better than Shaka.

Shaka sawks bawls.

In his defense, it kiiiiinda seems like a Texas thing.

Smart needs a good season, and he needs one now. Loads of fun young talent in Austin.

Matters how that team comes together.
The guy can recruit but his pieces haven't fallen in place.

The key to Texas is Kamaka Hepa. A 6-10 Alaskan.
According to some he is very underrated and was one of the best players in the US camp this summer.

If Hepa can stretch the defense and can run the court while playing tough D this Texas team can be exciting.

I guess this will only a three man class for Texas.
I think the third will be Jaden McDaniels.
Top 5 PF.
Kinda feel for Baker. I know Baker wanted to stay home and play for UT but his style of play doesn't fit into the team.

The 2019-2020 Texas team is going to be a beast.

Texas is going after Baker hard. Jones and Baker don't play the same position.

Baker will sign with Texas in the early signing period.
