Drake now on the schedule

Sure you’d like to see 100% of all shots made. Have you checked the players field goal percentage. I’ll just stop addressing this ignorance. Opponents do understand that if she goes one on one down low.... it’s a rap! You do know that right!

No, would just like to see the shots that 7th graders make 90% of the time made. Her FG% should be over .700 with the shots she's been taking. Why did you address it at all if you're "going to stop"? Perhaps you would be addressing the ignorance if you looked at all the variables or had any analytical skills.

Let's see what happens to her FG% in the B12 when she can't just stand under the basket and keep putting it back until it goes in. The one team Texas has played that has equal athletes she was 4-11. That's not even good for a 3pt shooter.

I counted 7 easy shots that IMS or Kelsey Lang certainly woulda never missed.

This is what happens when she’s doubled every game. The narrative becomes what you and your counterparts are saying. Egbo wasn’t doubled. And guards are definitely free to roam because there is one less man on defense. I’d say Charli is a great decoy right now so our guards can score and our other bigs can go one on one. It’s funny that y’all fall for the narrative presented when she is down low and doubled. Maybe she should smile next time while 2-3 defenders only target her and handle it with grace. Lol. Bad refs don’t help either. But.... it’s a blog and that’s what we do.... analyze based on ?. So actually it opened up around the 4th after Charli asked to be moved around. She was told to stay down low and get banged up so people like y’all can analyze her frustration. And so you can see her try to score while struggling to get the ball. And to get blocked out by 2 people on all rebounds. Yep.. that’s exactly what you saw. But neither of you, maybe a few said she should be moved out to add dimension to our team and to add more versatility. All we need is for her to be doubled so guards can dribble drive. Just take it Charli. You can’t look like this is easy for you so you better stay longer to learn to take it and be the best doubled post in this life. Yep that was the tears you saw. And obviously hitting outside jumpers opened up some opportunities for the high low you mentioned during the 4th qtr. Now that can only get better. I told you earlier, they are trying to create this narrative so she shouldn’t look like top 5, she should stay, ... and all of what you guys are saying. It’s actually all good, at least we know they have SUPPORTIVE fans . Y’all really do entertain your selves with these kids lives.

I'm having a hard time following your narrative but, just in case it isn't obvious to you, I'm a huge fan of Charli and her game. I've never said one negative thing about her. I try not to criticize players, especially those who work as hard as Charli does, and I'm not a fan of the negative comments made about her. Some "bunnies" are not as easy as they look with people hanging on you, holding you, pushing your body out with undercutting.

I see the steady improvement in Charli's game from season to season. I realize her how much her strength and conditioning has improved, and how much more physical she has become. As a former collegiate player I know the hard work and dedication that goes into that.

I stated that Charli is best served at the four. Is she capable of banging when necessary? Yes, but she is not the type of player that belongs nailed to the low block. Her face up skills and shooting range are too good. However, with the personnel we've had available, that's what the team has needed from her. I'm sure with adding Ebo we'll now see Charli utilized more facing up. But even with that, depending on matchups both offensively and especially defensively, some banging is going to be involved.

Charli is most likely going to be a Top 5 this year or next regardless of how the season goes. So I wouldn't get myself too worked up about what anyone says. Scouts know what they're looking for. Period.

Charli is still a relatively young player is the point I was trying to make. Basically she's played two seasons plus six games. She will continue to grow as this season goes along and I look forward to seeing how that unfolds. I want to see her become the very best player and most complete player she can be... not just a top pick... and it's my personal opinion that a full four-year college career will develop her into that.

However, as I've said before, it's her decision to make and I'll be pulling for her success whatever she decides to do. Does her ultimate decision matter to the future of our team? Of course it does, in terms of WHO we put on the floor.

But just as I stand by my high praise of Charli, I stand by what I say about Coach Vic and his staff. They will put a winner on the floor regardless of the personnel. There is quite a recruiting class coming in next year and, if the NCAA passes the one-time (non-COVID) transfer rule as I expect them to, there will be roster shake-ups all over the country. I expect Texas might benefit heavily from that.

You know folks, there's a way to set your notifications so that when certain commentators post, you don't/can't see their comments. Nice option.

I’d give anything right now for that emoji to be larger.
