[howard]

Too many players, max is 13 scholarship players. Jai is going to give up his scholarship and pay his own way.

If everyone is happy, and it appears so, then this team is gonna be special. I don't frequent the BB boards very often, but when I do, it seems Rick Barnes is always making great strides.

Great gesture, Jai. You have already generated positive feelings in the the hearts of the fans, before ever taking the court as a Longhorn.

we need to do what we can to stay in john's good graces, considering his influence in the houston area and beyond. i'm sure everyone is on the same page.

Man this guy is a team player.

1. You know things are looking good when you have a Mickey D's All-American as a walk-on.
2. Yes, this is a nice gesture by Jai and his family, but this deal was worked out before he transferred.

John also did that at OSU.

Definitely a good familiy. Best of luck this year.

Can't wait for Bball.

 

[The Horn Identity]

Sounds like Barnes was upfront with the Lucas family that this was a possibility. Still, it is great to see that we were able to work things out.

Can't wait to see our Horns this year!
