    I guess you didn't know Baylor had 0 5 star recruits and they won a national title. what he's doing is just fine and that's what has gotten UH to become one of the best programs in the nation and it will continue to be that way as long as hes here. And he isn't going away anytime soon

    You must not have been watching when UH was down 25 by halftime. It was men against boys. We have zero nba players. They have a roster full. There's literally no chance we take them out. You have to be realistic and see the truth.

    The team has to transition to the next level. We are still trying to be 3 star expecting to win an NCAA title. Won't happen. Didn't happen. Not even close.

    Oh big whoop. UH lost to the national champions. Tear the program down immediately! Just dumb.

    they have 2 nba players. Far from a roster full

    did you not see #1 Gonzaga get throttled by the same team. “You must not have been watching” But but they have 5 stars and a top 3 pick and another who can end up in the lottery. They need to get better players!

    where were the dukes and Kentucky’s with the highly rated recruit rankings. Oh wait they were at home not even qualifying for the actual NCAA tourney.

    U don't tear it down. You build it up. Sampson has to evolve. Just like his players, he has to take the next step and recruit top tier talent.

    And every single year he has. He doesn’t need to do anything different from what he’s been doing. Bc he’s showing progress every single year. This is college basketball. It takes a whole lot of luck to be able to win a national title, when so much is on kids and their own personal decisions

    Not really. We've been stuck. Three straight years we lost to the big talent schools right? Doesn't that tell you something. Like we gotta improve our recruiting class to match.

    Lol they’ve been stuck. Ok so getting into the tourney. Then getting their first win. Making it into the sweet 16. Oh then making it to the elite 8. Yeah they’ve been stuck for the last 3 years. How stupid. Yeah it tells me something. You don’t know what you’re talking about

    If that's all you want then that's all you will get. We've grown up now and it's time to act like it. That's the sign of intelligence. You push yourself further.

    Don't know how to feel about Tramon yet. He doesn't jump off the page as an NBA talent out of the gate, or even as team leader, but so early, who knows. He feels more like international player quality. He has to shoot better. But he should be a guy who can get to the line and we haven't had that for a while.

    Can Patrick take care of the Cougars while someone that knows about basketball can take care of the Rockets?

    Really surprised at how good Armoni Brooks has been with the rockets. Always felt he was too small and not alethic enough for the nba, but he's well on his way to getting a deal somewhere.

    I think Grimes will surprise some folks and go at the back end of the first.

    And, Dejon Jarreau....he'll be drafted somewhere in the second.

    class of 2022
    espn, rivals, and 247 have him as a 4 star recruit.

    you love to see it.
    we went from transfers and maybe a 3 star here to top 100 guys

    I could see Dejon getting a two way contract sometime next year after a year in the G league. His only question mark is the NBA three, he can be a lockdown defender in the league for sure. Although you might be right and someone takes a shot on him late in the 2nd!

    He's one of my all time favorite Coogs!

    I would love to see Dejon have a legit shot at the NBA. He would take pesky defense to a new level.
