32 Random Thoughts I Had While Rewatching The Shawshank Redemption
Fix today. Protect forever. Secure your devices with the #1 malware removal and protection software

As a kid, my parents’ movie library was an important resource for my cinematic education. And you could bet that we had a copy of The Shawshank Redemption on VHS, just waiting for me to eventually one of the best ‘90s movies to ever exist. Upon rewatching Frank Darabont’s iconic Stephen King adaptation, I certainly had some thoughts, and they further proved why this movie has endured.

I’m Kind Of Surprised Andy Dufresne Was Even Convicted

I know if Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) doesn’t get convicted of murdering his wife and her lover, there’s no Shawshank Redemption. But between our protagonist’s profession, and the infidelities being visited upon him, do you seriously mean to tell me a 1950s jury wouldn’t side with these implied actions?

I Can’t Think Of Anyone Else Playing Andy Or Red

Here’s a piece of Shawshank Redemption trivia you may not have known: Tom Cruise and Harrison Ford were among the potential pairs considered to play Andy and Red. I’m all for considering “what if…” scenarios when it comes to classic films, but I honestly can’t think of anyone else matching the chemistry of Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman’s friendship on screen.

The Shawshank Redemption’s Casting Game Has Always Been Strong

Every time I watch this movie, I swear I notice new actors that I either forgot or hadn’t noticed were part of the cast. This time around I “discovered” that Robocop and E.R. vet Paul McCrane was one of the guards, and was reminded that 24’s Jude Ciccolella was also a screw at Shawshank. Meanwhile, every go-round reminds me how I’ll always recognize Jeffrey DeMunn after his short but powerful turn as the lawyer who sends Andy up the river.

Stephen King Knows How To Write Grounded Adult Fairy Tales

While Red (Morgan Freeman) delivers the line “Prison is no fairy tale world” in The Shawshank Redemption, I still consider it an example of realism meeting such morally tinged fables for adults. The fact that Stephen King would not only go on to write The Green Mile as a sort of “Shawshank meets magical thinking” heartbreaker, with Frank Darabont returning for its 1999 adaptation, only proves my point.

(Image credit: Castle Rock Entertainment)

Bob Gunton’s Introduction Is So Subtly Chilling

Throughout the entirety of this prison drama, we see Bob Gunton’s Warden Samuel Norton barely raise his voice, except for when he discovers Andy’s escape. Revisiting his chilling introduction through Andy Dufrense’s arrival at Shawshank, I was reminded that vocal hysterics are no match for wielding a bible, and knowing how to hurt someone with just a nod.

Jake Is One Of The Many Clever Ways The Passage Of Time Is Shown At Shawshank

Most movies show time passing with either obvious dialogue or handy title cards. There are moments in The Shawshank Redemption where dialogue helps contextualize when we are in the story, but it’s never clunky. Also, with the added device of Jake the crow growing from a baby to a full-grown buddy, we’re shown progress without needing to put a calendar right under our noses.

Clancy Brown Plays The Line Between Menace And Authority To A Tee

When your kids are old enough, show them The Shawshank Redemption, then a random episode of Spongebob Squarepants. It’ll blow their minds by connecting Mr. Brown’s roles of Byron Hadley and Mr. Krabs, and it’s only another example of versatile performers filling Frank Darabont’s cast. While he’s not always turned up to 11, the shifts between unchecked menace and simple authority are so seamless.

I Wish I Could Tell You Andy Dufresne’s First Encounter With The Sisters Wasn’t Tragic

One of the emotional moments that never fails to maintain its tragedy is when Bogs (Mark Rolston) and the rest of The Sisters gang up on Andy in the prison laundry. We don’t see the brutality, relying on Morgan Freeman’s narration to confirm that the worst had indeed happened. Each time that scene comes on, expect your heart to sink.

The Roofing Crew Scene May Be The Best Scene In The Shawshank Redemption

If there is one scene that ties all of The Shawshank Redemption’s perfection into a subtle package, it’s when Andy and his fellow prisoners enjoy that cold bohemian beer after tarring a roof. It’s idyllic, visually stunning, and gives the audience the same temporary moment of unbridled joy as Andy Dufresne. Other moments may be more pronounced, but the joy truly sneaks up on you every time, even if it’s a consequence of Brooks Hadley threatening to cause Andy “accidental” harm.

(Image credit: Castle Rock Entertainment)

Thomas Newman Really Poured His Heart Into The Shawshank Redemption Score

Andy’s escape into the rain. Red’s arrival on the beach in Zihuatanejo. Brooks’ sad end. All of those moments are cinematic history in The Shawshank Redemption, and their perfection is aided by composer Thomas Newman’s emotionally charged musical score. Good luck trying to drive if “Brooks Was Here” comes up on shuffle.

The Shawshank Redemption Helped Me See Beyond Stephen King’s Horror Writing

Growing up, I was introduced to Stephen King as “The Master of Horror.” That image only grew through my eventual initiation through watching miniseries like 1990’s IT. But when I saw that The Shawshank Redemption was written by the same man who masterminded such frights, it was a watershed moment that helped me look past the stereotype and love the man’s work even more.

(Image credit: CBS)

If Anyone Should Have Remade The Stand, It Should Have Been Frank Darabont

Mick Garris’ 1994 miniseries adaptation of The Stand, in my mind, has never been topped. I’ve slowly slogged through the 2020 Paramount+ remake, and with all due respect to the talent involved, it pales in comparison. But now that I’ve rewatched The Shawshank Redemption, I can’t help but wish that Frank Darabont’s Randall Flagg easter egg led to an alternate universe where he got to do his thing with the epic clash between the disciples of The Walkin’ Dude and Mother Abigail.

Brooks’ “Easy Peasy” Line Holds Up, Even If It’s Of Questionable Taste

“Easy peasy, Japanese-y.” I know it’s not a terribly offensive line, but hearing the sweet Brooks Hadlen (James Whitmore) utter that line always gave me pause. Upon this most recent viewing, however, I realized that this line is another clever way of showing character. Thanks to the institutionalization of Brooks, we get a window into what the world was like when he was a free man; back when that sort of phrase was probably more prevalent.

(Image credit: Castle Rock Entertainment)

Andy’s Story Doesn’t Forget To Include Moments Of Levity

I’ll never look at a copy of Alexandre Dumas’ The Count of Monte Cristo without thinking of William Sadler, Tim Robbins, and Morgan Freeman debating where to file it in the prison library. Humor and warmth go hand in hand with tragedy and tears in The Shawshank Redemption, allowing for organic breaks from the harsh realities of incarceration. Frank Darabont’s sensibilities as the writer/director of this film are sharp as the rock hammer Andy uses to get his freedom, knowing when to lean into either extreme.

(Image credit: Castle Rock Entertainment)

No Letter Writing Campaign Could Ever Beat Andy Dufrense’s Quest For Books

A former friend of mine and I used to love referencing the moment when Andy Dufrense petitioned his local government officials for better resources in Shawshank’s prison library. As someone who loves a good story where a dedicated fanbase gets something done through letter-writing, I have to say that Dufrense’s triumph is probably the greatest example of this time-tested form of protest winning the day.

How In The Name Of Castle Rock Did The Shawshank Redemption Bomb At The Box Office?

The weekend of September 23, 1994, had some pretty decent movies in the box office top 10…and somehow The Shawshank Redemption wasn’t one of them. That’s right, the only reason we’re still talking about this picture is thanks to video rentals and constant airings on TNT in the years that followed. How did people let this happen?!

(Image credit: Castle Rock Entertainment)

Shawshank Is A Masterclass In Patient Storytelling

In a little under two and a half hours, you really feel like you’ve gotten to know Andy Dufresne and some of his pals at Shawshank State Prison. It consistently amazes me that I can still feel this way about a movie I’ve watched frequently over its three decades of existence. There’s never a moment where it feels like you could either skip or fast forward to the next, putting the pacing in that sweet spot where you don’t want it to end, but can’t think of anything to add.

(Image credit: Castle Rock Entertainment)

William Sadler Really Is One Of The Best Actors We Have

I originally thought that The Shawshank Redemption proved that William Sadler was one of the best character actors on the scene. Upon further thought, I’d say he’s one of the best performers out there, period. The dude’s range has seen him hang with the Crypt Keeper, tangle with John McClane, and try to reap the souls of Bill and Ted. Watching him as Heywood always puts a smile on my face, because how can you begrudge a man just listening to his Hank Williams records?

(Image credit: Castle Rock Entertainment)

Brooks’ Epilogue Still Crushes My Heart Every Single Time

You don’t even have to show a person the entirety of this film to bring them to tears. While having the background on Brooks’ character does make his eventual fate all the more tragic, you could merely show them his final scenes on the outside of Shawshank. No matter how many times I see James Whitmore play the end to his arc, I always hope that Jake found Brooks somehow, somewhere far away from that pain.

(Image credit: Castle Rock Entertainment)

This Movie Pivots Perfectly Between Emotional Ups And Downs

In the span of a handful of minutes, The Shawshank Redemption goes from Brooks’ tragic suicide to Andy’s triumphant book delivery, which then turns to our humble bank manager’s solitary confinement. Just those moments piled on top of each other are an emotional roller coaster, but they all land perfectly, without losing a step to any potential tonal whiplash.

(Image credit: Warner Bros. / Universal Pictures)

Frank Darabont Truly Understands Stephen King’s Work

Adapting The Green Mile into a Tom Hanks-starring tear-jerker was the next step in Frank Darabont’s King canon journey, but giving The Mist its soul-crushing ending was probably the greatest sign that Darabont truly understands Stephen King’s work. Especially because according to his own account, Frank Darabont was inspired by King’s original text to get to that traumatizing finale.

(Image credit: Columbia Pictures)

You Could Frame That Shot Of Andy Escaping The Tunnels

The moment that Andy Dufrense escapes those tunnels of…waste in The Shawshank Redemption, he bathes in the rain of liberation in a moment you could practically frame and hang on your wall. Considering it went on to become the original poster art for the 1994 release campaign, I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought so.

(Image credit: Warner Bros.)

How Is This Picture Only 142 Minutes?

There is no way that The Shawshank Redemption is only a couple minutes short of two and a half hours. It never feels anything shorter than perfect, which is honestly thanks to the pacing of the storytelling and every factor being top-shelf. Honestly, this is probably why The Green Mile would eventually be allowed to slightly exceed the 3-hour mark when it was released.

(Image credit: Castle Rock Entertainment)

The Shawshank Redemption Counts As A Heist Movie

I never really thought of Andy Dufresne’s antics as a secret heist movie, but that’s exactly what I came away thinking this time out. Years before Danny Ocean and his ten friends would knock off Las Vegas, Andy used accounting, knowledge of the banking system, and some geological know-how to make his great escape. Is it too late to give Andy a role in the Ocean’s Eleven prequel?

(Image credit: Columbia Pictures)

Tommy Williams’ Fate Is Even Crueler Than That Of Brooks Hadlen

If anyone got a worse deal than Brooks Hadlen, it had to be Tommy Williams (Gil Bellows). Sent to prison for burglary, he wasn’t nearly as hardened as some of the criminals who walked the halls of Shawshank State Prison. Yet thanks to his ability to exonerate Andy Dufresne, the young man who could have had a bright future was taken out with another one of Warden Norton’s patented nods.

(Image credit: Castle Rock Entertainment)

Roger Deakins’ Cinematography Helped Make This A Timeless Classic

Everyone knows that cinematographer Roger Deakins is a GOAT when it comes to his craft. The Shawshank Redemption is a key piece of proof as to how he’s maintained such a reputation, as his eye helps this picture evade any sort of signs of aging. It looks timeless, and feels just as preserved through never being approached as a “‘90s movie.”

(Image credit: Castle Rock Entertainment)

Without Question, Shawshank Is A ‘Remote Drop’ Movie

Thanks to Christopher Nolan’s love for Talladega Nights, the world now knows to call something you can never turn away from on TV a “remote drop” movie. The Shawshank Redemption is absolutely such a gem, as no matter what point in the story you’re at, no matter how many times you’ve seen it before, you’re in for the duration once it’s caught your eye.

Frank Darabont Might Actually Get Me To Watch Stranger Things Season 5

I haven’t cared about Stranger Things since completing Season 2, but have kept up with the series as a responsible journalist. I’ll do the same when its final season debuts, but knowing that Frank Darabont came out of retirement to direct a Season 5 episode has given me a smidgen of incentive to finish the journey.

(Image credit: Warner Bros.)

I Can’t Believe The Shawshank Redemption Almost Didn’t Show Us Andy And Red’s Reunion

It took notes from a test screening, and the reluctance of Morgan Freeman, to give The Shawshank Redemption an ending where we actually saw Red and Andy reunite on the shores of Zihuatanejo. I refuse to accept a world where that true moment of redemption doesn’t exist.

(Image credit: Castle Rock Entertainment)

The Shawshank Redemption Is Still A Perfect Movie

A little over a decade ago, I wrote about perfect Shawshank moments in a bid to show that I felt it was a perfect movie. I stand by my feelings to this day, and I don’t think that’s going to change any time soon.

How Did Forrest Gump Win Best Picture In 1995?

The 67th Academy Awards in 1995 saw Tom Hanks’ bittersweet nostalgia trip Forrest Gump winning Best Picture. The rest of the field was occupied by Pulp Fiction, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Quiz Show, and The Shawshank Redemption. Is anyone else ready to send someone to Shawshank for letting this happen?

(Image credit: Castle Rock Entertainment)

This Is One Of The Most Rewatchable Films In History

If The Shawshank Redemption was a storybook, I imagine I’d have several copies that are worn to varying degrees. It’s something you can always return to and enjoy freshly while reflecting on those peaks and valleys of emotion that pop up along the way. Which reminds me…I’m long overdue to pick up the 4K disc, even if the cover art isn’t the gorgeous Drew Struzan poster that adorned the Blu-ray set.

On WWE Raw in 2023, Seth Rollins wore giant red boots, which had become all the craze on social media.

Rollins has not shied away from fashion over the years, often wearing outfits that might be considered over the top to help enhance his personality.

Going Sneaker Shopping with Complex, CM Punk was asked about Rollins’ big red shoe choice.

“Completely ignorant and stupid. I don’t know why anyone, outside of being in a movie or a television show, would wear those in real life. I’m not trying to gatekeep shoes or anything like that. It seems a little too ‘notice me’ for me,” he said.

That settles that.

Punk ended up spending over $3,000 on three pairs of shoes during his shopping venture.

Rollins and Punk will both be in the men’s Royal Rumble at WWE Royal Rumble.

Former WWE superstar CM Punk recently shared his thoughts on current superstar Seth Rollins’ new ring gear, specifically his eye-catching big red shoes. In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Punk described Rollins’ choice of footwear as “a little too ‘notice me’ for my taste.”

Punk, known for his no-nonsense attitude and minimalist ring gear, has never been one to go for flashy or attention-grabbing attire. He went on to say that while he respects Rollins as a performer, he personally finds the big red shoes to be a bit over-the-top.

Rollins, on the other hand, has been known for his bold and colorful ring gear throughout his career. The former Universal Champion has never been one to shy away from making a statement with his fashion choices, and the big red shoes are just the latest example of his unique style.

It’s clear that Punk and Rollins have different opinions when it comes to ring gear, but at the end of the day, it’s all about personal preference. Fans can continue to expect Rollins to make bold fashion statements in the ring, while Punk will no doubt stick to his more understated look.

Titans Coach Brian Callahan Meets QB Shedeur Sanders, Shares His Thoughts on Sanders and QB Cam Ward
Fix today. Protect forever. Secure your devices with the #1 malware removal and protection software

DENTON, Texas. – It started with an introduction.

Titans coach Brian Callahan saw quarterback Shedeur Sanders, decked out in a Colorado sweatshirt, here on Friday morning on the campus of the University of North Texas, so he went up and started what turned into a 15-minute conversation.

Sanders is in town for East-West Shrine Bowl practices, and teams across the NFL flooded the school’s indoor practice facility to see the quarterbacks at a throwing session. The Titans are well represented here, with Callahan, new general manager Mike Borgonzi, and president of football operations Chad Brinker joined by coaches and scouts from the team.

“You can tell he’s been raised right,” Callahan said of his first impression of Sanders, son of Colorado coach and NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders. “He’s mature, he has a really poised way about him, and he seems like a really good kid. I enjoyed talking to him. And, you could tell he’s a guy who has been in the spotlight. He knows how to handle himself, he’s been paid money, so he has a financial perspective.

“It was a really good first impression.”

The Titans headed into their offseason with the No.1 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, and it’s no secret they’re interested in quarterbacks, from draft eligible players to potential free agents.

In the coming months, they’ll have a number of opportunities to meet the stars of college football, from Sanders to Miami’s Cam Ward to Mississippi’s Jaxson Dart to Alabama’s Jalen Milroe to many more.

While scouts have been on the road for months, the East-West Shrine Bowl presents the best opportunity for those wrapped up in football during the fall, like Callahan, to see a bunch of prospects. Next week the Titans will head to Mobile, Ala., for Senior Bowl practices, next month the group will head to Indianapolis for the NFL Combine, and then there will be Pro Days, private workouts, and officials visits leading up to the draft.

Sanders didn’t throw during a throwing session for the QBs here on Friday, but he’s scheduled to take part in practices in the coming days. Ward, considered by many to be the top quarterback prospect in this year’s draft class, isn’t here, and he’s not scheduled to be in Mobile either.

This week, the Titans will dig deeper into Sanders, who threw for 4,134 yards and 37 touchdowns in 2024.

“The thing that stands out the most is his toughness,” Callahan said of Sanders. “He took some pretty big shots and he kept rolling. He can stand in the pocket and deliver it. He can move and create a bit, he has some ability to move out the pocket, and he does create on his own. He’s not a high-end dynamic scrambler necessarily, but he is productive when he does. And he really has a good feel for anticipation and timing, you can tell he’s been coached in that regard. Those things show up on tape.”

Titans Coach Brian Callahan recently had the opportunity to meet with highly touted quarterback Shedeur Sanders, son of NFL legend Deion Sanders, as well as quarterback Cam Ward. Callahan shared his thoughts on both young quarterbacks and their potential impact on the football field.

During the meeting, Callahan was impressed by Shedeur Sanders’ strong arm, football IQ, and leadership qualities. He praised Sanders for his work ethic and dedication to improving his game, noting that he has the potential to be a standout quarterback at the collegiate and possibly professional level.

In addition to Sanders, Callahan also had the chance to speak with Cam Ward, another promising young quarterback with impressive skills and potential. Callahan noted Ward’s accuracy, decision-making, and poise under pressure, highlighting him as another player to watch in the coming years.

Overall, Callahan expressed excitement about working with both quarterbacks and helping them further develop their talents. He believes that Sanders and Ward have bright futures ahead of them in football and looks forward to seeing them excel on the field.

Travis Kelce says his “strong” relationship with Taylor Swift allows him to stay focused on his career in the NFL.

During a Jan. 15 appearance on “The Stephen A. Smith Show,” Kelce, 35, talked about his career in the NFL. Host Stephen A. Smith also asked the Kansas City Chiefs tight end if Swift is “encouraging” Kelce to keep playing or to retire.

Kelce, who is currently playing in his 12th season with the Chiefs, answered that he has “all the support” he needs.

“She’s fully encouraging me to enjoy playing this game,” Kelce said. “She loves coming to Arrowhead and coming to the games and cheering for me so I got all the support in the world to keep chasing these dreams.”

Kelce and Swift went public with their relationship in September 2023 and have been together ever since. Swift was in the crowd when Kelce and his team won the 2024 Super Bowl against the San Francisco 49ers. He also attended a few of her “Eras Tour” concerts and even made an onstage appearance during a show in London.

“Personally, I think that’s the beauty of being in a very strong relationship is that you get that support to be able to come in and focus on your craft,” he said. “Focus on being the best version of you.

“That’s why I wanted to be at the concerts supporting her and being there for her, making sure she feels comfortable and supported in everything she’s doing in life,” he continued. “I think I’m as focused as I’ve ever been on my job and being the best player that I can possibly be week in and week out for this team, and it’s because I don’t have to worry about things off the field.”

In regards to when he may retire, Kelce said his mindset on it “changes every single day.” He said he’s excited to finish out the season.

“I’ll re-evaluate it like I always do, and I’ll probably tell myself how much I love this thing, and I’ll come back next year,” he said. “It’s just something that you have to keep in perspective. I never want to get to the point where I’m not helping this team win.”

Kelce previously told his brother Jason Kelce, who announced his retirement from the Philadelphia Eagles in March 2024, that he would like to pursue a media career once his NFL days are over.

“I want to broadcast when I’m done playing,” he said on their “New Heights” podcast in June 2024.

Kelce added that he wants to put on the headset and be up in the broadcasting booth reporting on the game.

“I want to be right here and tell them about the game, the old ball coach, ladies and gentlemen,” he said, mimicking a radio announcer. “I want to do that. I want to be the talking head that calls the games.”

Travis Kelce, the star tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, recently sat down with pop sensation Taylor Swift to discuss his future in the NFL. In a candid interview, Kelce shared Swift’s surprising thoughts on whether he should retire from football.

According to Kelce, Swift believes that he still has a lot left to give on the field and should not retire just yet. The singer-songwriter praised Kelce’s work ethic and determination, saying that he still has the passion and drive to succeed in the NFL.

Kelce, who has been contemplating his future in the league, was encouraged by Swift’s words of support. He expressed gratitude for her perspective and vowed to continue playing as long as he is able to perform at a high level.

Fans of both Kelce and Swift were thrilled to hear about their unlikely collaboration and are now eagerly anticipating Kelce’s next move on the football field. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story!

Former University of Georgia stars recently shared their thoughts on former Bulldogs offensive coordinator Mike Bobo, who has been hired as the new head coach of the Auburn Tigers.

“I think Mike Bobo is a great hire for Auburn,” said former UGA quarterback Aaron Murray. “He has a proven track record of success and I believe he will bring a lot of energy and enthusiasm to the program. I’m excited to see what he can do with the Tigers.”

Former UGA running back Todd Gurley also had positive things to say about Bobo. “I played under Coach Bobo at Georgia and he was a great coach and mentor to me. I have no doubt that he will bring that same level of passion and dedication to his new role at Auburn. I wish him all the best in this new chapter of his coaching career.”

It’s clear that Bobo has left a lasting impression on his former players at UGA, and they have high hopes for his success at Auburn. It will be interesting to see how he is able to build on his past successes and lead the Tigers to new heights in the SEC.

Initial thoughts: Auburn – Mizzou Today: Missouri Tigers Football & Basketball Recruiting
Fix today. Protect forever. Secure your devices with the #1 malware removal and protection software

Here is what was on my mind right as the final whistle sounded and Missouri’s conference losing streak extended to 20.

1. Mizzou isn’t one of the best teams in the country. We knew that coming in. Auburn is one of the best teams in the country. We knew that coming in.

What we saw today was a pretty good representation of the difference in talent level between the teams.

Outside of 3-point shooting and 3-point defense, I can’t really point to anything Mizzou did overly poorly, Auburn was just able to take advantage of any little space, any turnover, any misstep on defensive switches.

That’s what the best teams in the country do.

2. The biggest issue today was Auburn did a fantastic job shutting down Mizzou’s best players.

Ant Robinson ended with zero points on 0-of-2 shooting with two rebounds and two assists.

Mark Mitchell had six points and was 2-of-9 shooting with some bad looks taken. He ended with one rebound.

Tamar Bates had eight points on 3-of-9 shooting, including 0-of-4 from 3.

Josh Gray played 9 minutes and had three points and two rebounds.

If those guys aren’t producing, Mizzou is going to be in trouble whether its playing arguably the best team in the country or not.

3. Missouri is going to lose games in conference play and some of them are going to look bad. We knew that coming in. Some crazy stuff is going to have to happen for Mizzou to beat Auburn/Tennessee/Alabama this season.

Those teams are just really, really good.

4. The final main lineup of Marques Warrick, T.O. Barrett, Annor Boateng, Marcus Allen, Jacob Crews played really well.

I think Dennis Gates was trying to send a message to the other guys that the depth can play and there’s no guarantee that just because you’ve been one of the best guys so far doesn’t mean you’ll continue to get a significant amount of minutes.

Who knows if the message landed, but after a few minutes, it just became clear that lineup was working, so he left it in the rest of the game.

5. Winning any road games in the SEC is going to be incredibly tough this season, starting the conference schedule with one at Auburn was about as tough as it’s going to get.

After closely following the latest news and developments in Auburn and Missouri’s football and basketball recruiting efforts, I can’t help but feel excited about the potential impact these recruits could have on their respective programs.

Auburn, known for its strong football tradition, has been making waves in the recruiting world with several highly touted prospects committing to the Tigers. Head coach Bryan Harsin has been hard at work assembling a talented roster that could potentially compete for championships in the near future.

On the other hand, Missouri, under the leadership of head coach Eli Drinkwitz, has been making significant strides in both football and basketball recruiting. The Tigers have landed some top recruits that could bolster their roster and help them compete at a higher level in the SEC.

Overall, both Auburn and Missouri seem to be on the right track when it comes to recruiting, and I can’t wait to see how these talented prospects will contribute to their respective teams in the coming seasons. It’s an exciting time to be a fan of both programs, and the future looks bright for both the Tigers and the Tigers.

Houston’s Kelvin Sampson Shares Thoughts On BYU Basketball
Fix today. Protect forever. Secure your devices with the #1 malware removal and protection software

BYU basketball is set to take on No. 14 Houston in the Fertitta Center on Saturday.

The matchup is a barometer for Kevin Young’s 10-2 BYU squad. They face a Houston program that has become a second-weekend fixture in college hoops, reaching the Sweet 16 or farther in the last five NCAA Tournaments.

The Coogs in “Clutch City” have been dominant on their home floor. BYU will look to end a nation’s best 29-game home winning streak for Houston.

BYU basketball will take on No. 14 Houston on Saturday in the Fertitta Center.

Houston has the nation’s longest home winning streak at 29 games.

Since the Fertitta Center opened in 2018, Houston has a record of 100-6 in that building.

BYU has one of those six victories (2019,…

— Mitch Harper (@Mitch_Harper) January 3, 2025

Head Coach Kelvin Sampson has led Houston through their climb back among the nation’s elite since 2014. Last year, he led the Coogs to a regular season Big 12 championship with a 13-3 record.

Kelvin Sampson weighs in on BYU Basketball

In preparation for Saturday’s game against BYU, Sampson spoke to the media and shared his thoughts on Kevin Young’s team.

“Their length in the backcourt, I think, is excellent with (Egor) Demin and the (Kanon) Catchings kid. They’re both around 6-9. They are long and very skilled. They both can get 20 in different ways,” Sampson said. “Catchings is a threat behind the three-point line. Demin, as a decision-maker, is really good at hitting rollers and really good at hitting the opposite corner. They’re extremely well-coached and very disciplined.

“I think part of their strength is they have two fives: (Fousseyni) Traore and (Keba) Keita. They have different strengths. Keita is probably a better shot blocker, probably a better vertical athlete. Traore is more of a traditional low-post player, who can catch and score it. But they complement each other so well. Then, BYU is the number one defensive rebounding team, so it’s hard to get offensive rebounds against them.”

BYU is outrebounding opponents by 13.2 boards per game. In the Big 12 opening win at home against Arizona State, BYU outrebounded the Sun Devils 38-28.

Along with praising BYU’s new personnel, Sampson is impressed with the returning talent on BYU’s roster.

Returning talent on BYU

BYU faced Houston early last season in Big 12 play at the Marriott Center. With 2:20 left in the game, the Cougars in blue were tied with Houston at 68, but Sampson’s Coogs closed on a 7-0 run to win 75-68 and earn their first road win in Big 12 action.

— BYU Men’s Basketball (@BYUMBB) January 3, 2025

Four BYU players from that game last season will be in action against the veteran Houston squad that brings back four of its five starters from last year’s meeting.

“They have a lot of kids on their team that can get 20 to 30 on any given night. Their fives are positioned really well for their team. They’ve got two pros on their team in Catchings and Demin, but (Dallin) Hall, it’s Hall and (Richie) Saunders and (Trevin) Knell. All of those guys can really shoot. They’re dangerous,” said Sampson.

“This is a team that went on the road last year and won some big games. And they lost some games where they dominated for 25, 30, 35 minutes, and lost at the end–great win at Kansas. They’ve got a lot of those same guys back. And they’ve added some really good talent. So BYU is good. I think that’s their baseline. I think they’ve got a chance to be really good as the season goes along.”
