This year marks the seventh season in which I’ve written about Texas basketball for Barking Carnival, and over the years of predictions and observations I’ve run the gamut from prescient to dead-ass wrong; for every article where I discussed the increasing allure of pro leagues for high-level recruits or dejectedly called for the end of the Rick Barnes tenure, there are articles where I contemplated Texas making a Final Four run with a straight face. Going into last season, I thought Jericho Sims was probably going pro; the season before I thought Eric Davis would be better at hitting open threes than guarded threes.
