    Still bummed out about this loss. Fell asleep when Cougars were ahead in the second half. I can't understand why UH can't recruit a top player nationally. We are a "system" team largely without top tier recruits. There are no Elvin Hayes' or Akeems' out there.

    Who is the last best HS player to come out of Houston? UH needs to get the next one.

    I just looked it up for ***** and giggles, for the past decade they're all from the DFW area.

    I don't understand why.

    Quentin Grimes and Ken Lofton JR are the most recents I've found

    The best Houston area guy in recent times was De'Arron Fox

    Heh, maybe the quick search didn't consider Katy as being part of Houston? :)

    Also, is 2016 "recent times"?

    They have recruited some great ones...and have some in the pipeline. Mercy Miller was a 4 star. Jarace Walker was super highly recruited.

    I think part of it is that Sampson attracts a particular kind of player...if you want don't want to work your ass off, UH isn't for you. I see Drew recruit guys at Baylor that would never sign up for what Sampson has kids do to get ready to play...and they play far softer because of it.

    Honestly, Joseph Tugler is one of the more recent Houston-area recruits I can think of. Nowadays the best high school talent in Texas actually comes out of the DFW area.

    *EDIT* : Arceneaux is probably another one.

    Guy Lewis award goes to the best player in Houston
    Galen Robinson
    Quintin Grimes
    Ramon Walker
    Tramon Mark
    UH has gotten more of the top players in the city than most realize. Tugler was a finalist his senior year

    For the record, the best Houston player might not be on our radar. We moved into a bigger pond.

    Nice to see Sharp hitting early but the inside game is missing

    Nice to see Miller in the game, felt like he should have been on the court against Auburn

    Nobody hustles more than Sharp, he definitely leads Collegiate basketball and most definitely the NBA in floor burns
