Kendall Sanders: 2012 Texas Recruiting Spotlight
Burnt Orange Nation &bull Yesterday
Sanders is this year's Quandre Diggs-a two-way star in high school who could easily play either way in college, probably projects better to defense, and had Texas fans agonizing for months over why we hadn't offered yet despite both players making it quite clear they wanted to attend UT. Like Quandre, Kendall eventually got his offer and ended up committing the same week as Marcus Johnson. And UT fans… Full Story »

Texas 2012 Top 25, BON Recruiting Edition

Texas Longhorns Basketball: Inside the Numbers, Week 12
Burnt Orange Nation &bull Feb 2, 2012

Bobby Knight used to alway say that you shouldn't call a time out when you had the ball at the end of games, because your team should already know what to do in those situations. This is normally the approach that Barnes takes. Part… Full Story »
