TEXAS???

Career suicide playing under Rick Barnes. Do not like that decision by Cory. I was hoping for UConn.

I was thinking he was going UConn too but there had to be something pulling Joseph to Texas. I think he’ll be okay there but you’re right about Barnes, he can stunt, let’s say, a career somewhat. I think he’ll fit into the system they run and Joseph should be the started from day one but he won’t have spectacular numbers as a freshman. This guy should be two and done if anything, at least at Texas.

Ray any idea if the 10th Annual All Canada Classic Rumble In The T Dot will be televised?

I’m looking to talk to Wayne Dawkins in the next week or so so I’ll find out for sure. I would expect the game will be aired but maybe on a delay or even a few days later on one of the sports channels like last summer. Once I find out, I’ll post it in the Canadian Content section and through the Can Ball Twitter account.
