Mark Berman on Twitter: "College basketball source: Kelvin and Kellen Sampson have signed their upgraded @UHCougarMBK contracts." / Twitter

 

Kelvin was saying it's not about the recruiting, it's about the resources. And the reason UH got to the point it was at, is because UT and A&M did not want them in the SWC at first and then they did not want them in the Big 12.

It's very much true. I've been a UH fan since the days of Danny Davis, Wilson Whitley, Rob Williams and his cousin Juice Williams.

UH has always been the "IT" school, the New Kid on the block and the main stream schools hated it. The only thing the main stream schools had on UH was money and back door connects in Austin. So they used that to their benefit.....to keep UH down.

UH is on the up swing again where they deserve to be and I think the future is bright.

 

Berman working to the last day! Well deserved for Kelvin and Kellen.

 

Houston Cougars guard Marcus Sasser told ABC13 he expects to be selected in the late-first or early-second round. Denver is among possible landing spots.

Lots of wingspan there. Who are the players? I can decipher a few of them.

 

Joseph Tugler (F)/Cedric Lath (F)
Ja’vier Francis (S)/Jacob McFarland (F)
J’wann Roberts (S)/Terrance Arceneaux (So)

 

The next line of UH players in the NBA continues tonight

University of Houston basketball school

 

Who's the alpha this year? Shead or the kid from Baylor?

 

I'd guess Shead. He put the team on his back when Sasser and Mark were out. Did real well too.

 

Shead is the alpha
He's been that guy the last two seasons

 

Alpha doesn't mean leading scorer. Shead knows exactly what coach wants everyday. He'll set the tone on D and run the offense to a tee. He will get his buckets when we need someone to step up.

 

Look for Arceneaux and Sharp to make a big leap.

 

Sharp made pretty steady improvement all year long and I expect a lot out of him this year. Arceneaux was more spotty and still needs to prove his potential. Sharp had that red shirt year and I think that was the difference.
