From the discussion on coffee and football this morning.  I think basketball is the eliminator when it comes to figuring out the best athlete.  During my playing days I played with guys that were incredible football players and baseball players, but looked like totally inept on the basketball court.  You find me a guy that can play two sports well, as well as basketball, and you’re looking at one of your best athletes.  On the Horns to me it sounds like Jonah Williams is that guy.

    I agree on that. Basketball is the most athletic sport of the big 3 ... by far

    Besides the constant run and jump, changing direction constantly on both ends, playing through the feet and hips on both ends every possession ... it'a totally different level of athletic stamina.

    Trevor Goosby - wasn't he pretty good at basketball in high school?

    Stamina yes.  But getting your ass handed to you by Leonard Davis then having to tackle Jamaal Charles in open space.

    And sticking with old guys, I’m not sure there would have been a place for Brandy Perryman on the football field.
