Finishing up my scouting notes on Derik Queen and this play against Michigan stood out to me. I can’t believe he fit himself through this window to get a clean layup.

Surprisingly nimble for his size. Footwork is so good. 🐢👑

Happy Wednesday! Here’s 2:11 worth of ridiculous Derik Queen passes that brought me joy.

Houston went 22-1 in Big 12 games this year, with the one loss coming against the Big 12 No. 2 seed Texas Tech by one point in OT.

Just an insanely dominant run from Kelvin Sampson and company.

Hailey Van Lith has been balling for TCU. The former Louisville and LSU standout has led the Horned Frogs to the best season in program history and was named Big 12 POY.

Here are some of my quick thoughts on HVL’s success this season!
