Exactly!
I respect Hunter's confidence in planning to rock that jersey #.
Why? Because it was his HS number?I respect Hunter's confidence in planning to rock that jersey #.

I wish we did. All these guys like single digits now. Gone are the days of the best forward of the team wearing 33 or 32
That Orr/player photo reminds me how much I loved the schedule posters from that era. I can remember some with cool b&w photos of players like Grayer and Alexander. My dad had them all over our basement when I was little. Wish I had a few.
That what you want to hear. Win.........NOW! None of this "oh gee, it's going to require so much time and patience to build the right culture, team's lose games all the time" BS. I really don't think people fully understand how good this team can be.....right now! With the talent that was kept along with what was brought in........the only thing left is chemistry. If Foster is %100.....Enaruna plays to his potential and Hunter is as advertised.........! Not including J. Johnson, Kalsheur, Brockington, Conditt, Grill etc. Personally.........I think this is tourney team 1st year.

I sort our guys into tiers. I count roughly four of them.
ENOUGH TALENT TO BE STARS -- BUT NEEDS TO PROVE IT AT A COLLEGE LEVEL
Enaruna
Foster
Hunter
PROVEN HIGH-MAJOR STARTERS -- PROBABLY NOT STARS, BUT VERY SOLID PLAYERS
Brockington
Kalscheur
Kunc (if healthy)
Hinson (if healthy)
PROVEN ENOUGH TO BE BENCH GUYS -- LIKELY BENCH DEPTH AT THIS POINT
Grill
Jackson III
ADEQUATE TALENT TO MAKE AN IMPACT -- BUT NEED TO PUT IT ALL TOGETHER
Conditt IV
Johnson
Jones
Walker
If maybe 2/3 of the top three work out (and ideally all three), if the next four are productive as they have been in the past and stay healthy, and one or two more guys from the lower tiers surprises us enough to at least be usable bench depth if not more, then we could be very competitive.
We are not going to break into the Olympian heights of the top of the Big 12 the first year of the TJ administration, but we could finish in the middle of the pack in the Big 12. And finishing in the middle of the Big 12 is generally good enough to get you in or at least fighting for a spot on the bubble.
If TJ gets us into the tournament his first year, then he deserves Big 12 COTY.
@GetAwesome why was this stupid? It was literally his HS number. I will almost guarantee that's why he picked it. Not because of Tinsley, Blalock, Monte, or THT. Hell Blackwell was # 11 last season. So it's not like the number is reserved for great guards only.Why? Because it was his HS number?

Or he just wanted his number.Hunter takes on the responsibility and honor of wearing the same # as the two greatest floor generals to ever call Hilton home. I give Hunter a compliment. End of story. Enjoy.
Fair warning, boys and girls:
