    Again, here is what you wrote: Point us all to somewhere in Lester’s response where he said that.

    90 minute interview with Tim Lester - ANF Podcast

    Listen better... or read better, the transcript is below. Note the emphasized parts. ------------- 1:00:34 really fast. Really fast. Right. And that's where they have to realize and I it was like 1:00:40 recruiting Tony, you know, when you get a receiver in the room and you show like, hey...

    That’s not really what Lester said although I’m guessing you knew that.

    Statement From Texas Tech AD, Kirby Hocutt, On Brendan Sorsby Backlash

    The amount of times this dude mentioned or alluded to Sorsby’s supposed addiction and recovery process, makes it pretty clear how Texas Tech is going to frame this in response to criticism. I would guess pretty much everybody besides TT fans see through it, but will the outrage reach a level...

    If Matt Gatens helped facilitate this, then he's an idiot.

    If Tavion Banks returns in 2026-27, we would have 0 Open Roster Spots (14 players are officially signed)

    There’s 3 open roster spots. If McCollum gets a guard and a center he really likes, that leaves one spot remaining without needing to be in a rush to fill it. The roster would be in a pretty good position, and they can wait for Banks, another player, or just leave the last spot unfilled.

    *****Alvaro Folgueiras enters the Portal*****

    It’s not really a loss if you get a legitimate center. Iowa should be able to replace his production with the guys who will be at the SF/PF positions next season.

    Any rumors or whispers of Iowa players transferring?

    The NCAA granted a one year waiver this past season for JUCO athletes who would have otherwise ran out of eligibility because of Pavia's legal challenge. It wasn't meant to give everyone who's attended a JUCO extra years which is why Banks' request seems like a long shot.

    If Tavion Banks returns in 2026-27, we would have 0 Open Roster Spots (14 players are officially signed)

    I know guys like Pavia got an extra year of eligibility for this season, but are there any other guys like Banks who have been granted an extra year for next season? It seems like a long shot that he’ll get another year unless there are other examples.

    Other Games

    I have no idea why the other Boozer was trying to pass the ball up the floor. Hold it or dribble it out, just dumb.

    The 5 is my biggest question going forward

    Yes, Stirtz always struck me as more of a scoring PG rather than a true distributor. In that case maybe it’s easier to find and plug in a combo guard who is primarily a shooter/scorer that can be paired with Combs. Which I guess means I’d lean more towards spending the money on a legit B1G...

    Defense, rebounding, finishing shots inside all look horrible right now.

    I know this has been posted on twitter, but what is with this guy... He has an IOWA sweatshirt on but he's like Morty on Seinfeld using The Wizard.

    Some bad halves from Stirtz and Cam.
