Can't you find him some orange to wear....geez Jeff...where's your manners!!!

He's the one sitting alone in the stands.

He's the black guy :)

Did he leave early like most of he fans did?

You will get to see what all the other stud recruits look like in opposing jerseys because there is no way in hell that a top notch recruit would want to be a part of that GOD AWFUL TEAM that we trot out every game!!! I have said it once and I will say it again, there is NO nba talent in Austin at this point!!! None!!

Let's see why I think Randle will come to Texas:

-Grew up a Texas fan
-Play in front of friends and family
-Friends with most of the team
-The Durant effect
-There ARE pieces around him to compete, but he'd be the MAIN one
-Relationships with the coaches
-Every other team loses ALOT
-KU will only return Traylor, Ellis, and Tharpe of those that played this year. Two of those play the same position as him. Andrew White and Rio Adams can't even get on the floor on a team that struggles at guard at times...
-NC State loses Leslie, Howell, Wood, most likely Brown, and maybe Purvis. Their best player returning could be TJ Warren who is a 3/4...
-Florida loses Boyton, Rosario, Murphy, and most likely Young.
-Kentucky loses Noel, Goodwin, Poythress, maybe Wiljter, Mayes. But their problem is having a ton of high, um, profile guys that will take away the spotlight.
-Oklahoma, even though I don't even consider them in it, lose Grooms, Pledger, Fitzgerald, and Osby.

-No other teams have the defensive presence behind him in Ridley and Ibeh. Kansas will only have Embiid as a center. NC State will bring in BJ Anya but he'll be freshman and alone. Florida will have Walker but he's not as much of a defensive presence. Kentucky will have Lee but he's also not as much of a defensive presence. Oklahoma - no.

Let's be real here.....this was never going to be a good team. It'd be lightyears better with Myk, but still a very average team. However, there are some nice pieces and if you surround them a talent like Randle and/or Frazier you have, on paper a top 10 team going into next season.

He'll be committing after his Kansas visit so this endless wait will soon be over. We'll know the fate of our program in less than a month...

@kbohls: Julius Randle said he's paying little attention to Texas' 10-13 season as a factor in his recruitment. "Nah, it's all good."

Praise The Lord!

Does it help at all that KU is in a tail spin?

I think maybe they just had a little fainting spell.

Yeah, I agree with you. In our first game with them, I remember thinking that their offense at times reminded me of ours - just that they had a more experienced roster top to bottom.
