Texas at Baylor 02/14/21

Maybe so.

But, I go back to a player like freshman PG Sarah Andrews at Baylor. She was ranked about where Rori is ranked in the recruiting rankings. Yet, she couldn't win the starting PG job at Baylor. She's barely even playing. And, it's not because Baylor had a true experienced PG to start the season.

Conversely, look true freshmen like Paige Bueckers and Caitlin Clark. So, there are immediate success stories, just like there are some first-season freshman flops. I would love for all 3 of our freshman to produce immediately; but, I will temper my expectations, but not my excitement.
I get what you're saying but imo Andrew's was overrated in high school. She looked good against players not on her level and struggled when playing against top players. Rori is a highlight reel against anyone in the country. She went off against Raven Johnson who espn has as the top point guard in the country. I completely understand what you mean and I'm normally the same way with recruits but Rori is just different. She is like a Morgan Williams that Vic had at Mississippi state but much more skilled. I'm excited to see what she can do as well as the rest of the incoming players.
 
On a cold thursday.......and with extreme interest...I read all the posts about the three freshmen next year. I think I agree with ALL of 'em in some form or fashion. In my simple mind, it comes down to whether you are an optimist, pessimist, realist or other strange creature. In self evaluation, I am of the persuasion of always being an optimist in hope for the next wave of recruits to be the best ever. Some times it is correct, sometimes it is not. However, in the exercise I have been doing for like 60 of my 74 years regarding recruiting of all Texas sports ...........it is better for me to be the eternal optimist. Keep offering wonderful observations, logic and conclusions so I will have something to marvel at. We'll assess this time next year and determine if we were right on the 2021 recruits.........while observing that the 2022 recruits are all world. So today, Harmon, Hunter and Moore are all world and will take the women's basketball program to glorious heights. Time for some NBA game now.
