Not only will Hill graduate in three years, but he’ll do so while excelling in the classroom.

Going into college, this was my number one goal. Outweighs any other accomplishment to date. God is good! ??✅ https://t.co/g4T3DI0xDw

Yurcich Drama

Rumors have swirled over the last few weeks regarding Yurcich in coaching searches. His name was thrown into the hat for the Tennessee OC position.

In Tennessee OC search, watch for Oklahoma State OC since 2013, Mike Yurcich, 43. OSU has had four 10 win seasons with Yurcich. In 2017 OSU was first Big 12 team to have 4000-yard passer, two 1000-yard receivers and 1000-yard rusher. He was GA at Indiana 2 years (2003-04).

Cowboy Basketball

Isaac “ICE” Likekele really showed some potential against Houston with 16 points. Love how he uses his size against smaller guards.

Sampson sounded off on his relationship with Eddie Sutton.

These two had some epic #Bedlam battles over the years. Very classy gesture by Kelvin Sampson to go visit Eddie Sutton after Houston’s win over #OKState. Sampson even gave Sutton a kiss on the cheek as he said goodbye. pic.twitter.com/HYcn4NBW0Y

Some encouraging words from Sampson. Boynton wasn’t going to let scheduling be the primary reason they missed the tourney come March.

Kelvin Sampson says that if Houston had #okstate's schedule, the Cougars would've been 4-4, too. He was impressed with Isaac Likekele. "They might be 8-0 if they played our schedule. … Mike's building something good here."

— Nathan Ruiz (@NathanSRuiz) December 8, 2018

Consistently impressed with word choice from Boynton.

This week will be critical for me as I search for ways to help each guy be more productive. In the meantime, crush those final exams!!! The most important thing you can do at @okstate is #GetYourDegree

— Mike Boynton (@thacoachmike) December 9, 2018

And of course, the recruiting never stops.

Mike Boynton and pretty much his whole staff are here to watch Class of 2020 guard target Bryce Thompson.

Pokes in the Pros

Jawun still looking good since the move to the Suns organization. He signed a two-way contract with the Suns last week.

A team record eight steals and another great performance for the new @Suns point guard @j3vans1_!

Russ explaining the *Rock the Baby* is so good.

Not breaking any news here, but Russell Westbrook is so savage. Here's the origin of why he does the, "rock the baby" celebration from his appearance on The Tonight Show. #Thunder pic.twitter.com/VqXyltNqkK
