Why RGV? Maybe $400 million donors at other Power 4 schools?

And I can look really bad for saying all that. Because the truth is all of these guys are very young. And the roster is too young.

Which is probably my biggest gripe with the whole operation right now

Agree - When you miss on a couple of classes in a row adding talented freshmen is great but our competition is adding players with existing successful NCAA pedigrees.

I feel like if everyone on the team makes 10,000 hook shots over the summer - and not just one guy - we can compete for a natty.

What do you see happening between now and then that would drastically change the outlook of this team for 2026?

You should probably just quit being a fan from now until 2027, or Shaka is fired.  Clearly, Shaka is clueless, guys never improve, and its impossible that any of the redshirt freshman, and true freshman next year bring anything to the table.  We are screwed.

I'm still going to watch the games, root for my favorite team and hope they prove me wrong.

I can also realistically look at this roster, the expected roster for next year and make a prediction based on their current performance levels and what I believe is their potential.

I don't need to put blinders on and keep telling myself everything is going to be ok when there is absolutely no factual basis behind that.  I also know freshmen, no matter how highly ranked, are freshmen and if we're relying on them to perform next year to take a leap, we're still in big trouble.
