Question. If he visits this week who will he meet with?
As an aside, Angelina College was an at large for the Juco National Championship tournament in Hutchinson, Kansas. They won their first game to make it to the Sweet Sixteen for the first time ever. Their next game is today.

Yep can confirm. It really does look like Coach Braeuer is going for some defense minded coaches. Connected with him in Sam Houston when Sam had a great defense. I do hope it's a mentality of Defense strong but strong scorers.

I haven't watched tech in a few years. What type of game do they play?

Not sure. I did post a video on Techs defense and ability to score. I'll repost it here in a second. Well after rewatching that video I did post. It was the one under coach beard that was heavy defense. But it does seem that mind set under the new UNT Coach.
AC lost to South Plains by 79-70. Best MBB season ever at AC.SFAJack_76 said:Three of the final eight are from Region XIV. AC, TVCC, and Panola.No-look said:AC beat Jones tonight pretty solidly.

AC stayed ahead up until the last eight minutes and then couldn't buy a basket while South Plains got hot. Great season
In addition to building his staff, Coach Braeuer is actively engaged in recruiting.
. That's good to hear. Anxious to see the commitments this year.SFAJack_76 said:

Hopefully he can get Trey Maddox the top 100 recruit back. That would be a big get!

How so? What have you heard, 76?
TVCC and Panola both won, and will play each other in the semifinals tomorrow.No-look said:

Hope Coach can get one or two of Tech bench players to join him in Nac!

I'll take two! Need a 7 footer and a Kensmil type. I miss Kensmil.
Bigs pouring into the portal, if SFA could pull off getting one elite big for at least a season.

So with it all about the money these days, how much are we able to pay any player at this point?
I chatted with a basketball parent with a kid at a D1 school. All players received a base minimum over and above their scholarship from NIL. Then basically NIL "incentives" once they get to campus like appearances etc. Do we have something like this?

I don't know if there's a "base minimum", but there's certainly opportunities for NIL funds for athletes in all sports for participating in community activities. And in some sports, including MBB, the HC has some discretion in how the funds are distributed among his/her players.

Looks like Keon Thompson is back. Per SFA MBB Twitter.
Good. If he works on ball security, he can be a solid piece. I hope we get another point guard. We need a new identity.
What little Emanuel played looked solid. Like to see more. ??
Anxious to see what bigs are recruited this year. Any news on if Hayman could be reconsidering the portal plunge?
