GoCoogs has been asking players who the best under-the-radar guy is in their position groups. The two names we've heard most often are RB Re’shaun Sanford @moneybagrrae and WR Koby Young @K2lethal_.
Neither has played a collegiate snap, but many Cougar players are impressed.

“You can tell by the way they recruit, they’re not worried about rankings. They’re worried about finding tough-minded young men that are willing to put the Houston program above themselves.”

Another cool, authentic moment from UH Basketball.
Jamal Shead @Thejshead was the first player out of the locker room and the first to see Jace Abarca, a young man living with lupus and kidney disorders.
Jace signed a letter of intent with Houston Basketball in October.

Brandon Wilson returned a missed FG 109.995 yards for a touchdown. For my money, it’s the greatest play in school history. UH jumped to No. 6 with the statement win.

What if the University of Houston honored Kurt Hester’s impact by changing its Blackout Game to The UNBREAKABLE Game going forward?
Each year, UH could celebrate UNBREAKABLE around Coach Hester’s birthday (10/28), wearing black, and tying it into cancer awareness and screening.

Final:
Auburn folks will tell you that the missed free throws are the story.
Wrong. The story is how this Houston team stepped up and kicked the 🤬 out of Auburn in the second half without their starting guards for half of it.

Milos Uzan declared for the draft, which was always part of the plan. He will get his draft grade and then decide his future.
Today is a good day for UH Basketball - the point is to help these guys excel in life. Milos is proof that this program builds winners.

UH’s win wasn’t pretty, and there’s a ton of analysis to come, but it’s a helluva lot better than the alternative.
