Texas McDonalds All-Americans

Texas is represented by 4 players on the 24-man McDonalds All-American team this year; 2 from the Dallas area and 2 from the Houston area.  Marcus Smart of Flower Mound and Isaiah Austin from Arlington Grace Prep made it from North TX.  There were also 3 girls on their team from the Dallas area, and there is a junior boy at DeSoto who has committed to Duke next year.  It's amazing the respect that Texas basketball is now getting.  The weird thing is that despite his success, Rick Barnes rarely lands these TX all-americans.  He keeps getting his players from elsewhere.

I just don't understand Rick Barnes at all.
Maybe I should reword my comment.

I do not understand the lack of huge success at UT at all.
Terrible arena to watch a game in on TV. Misses TX talent. They never have a personality, whether it be run and gun or slow down pressure defense.
