Timmy Allen has some personality, but he is the rightful owner of theBuckets nickname until his brother stepped in.
Teddy said Saturday that he was the original Timmy Buckets. He went crazy and it went to Teddy Buckets. We both get to the basket.
Timmy transferred from Utah to Texas after the 2020-21 season, while Teddy Allen has four schools in five years. Longhorns coach Chris Beard said the team delayed several film sessions so Timmy could watch Teddy play. Chris Jans is the coach of New Mexico State.
Beard thinks Timmy was the original Buckets. I love Teddy, but I am a Timmy guy.
Timmy has his own swagger and is more outgoing than Teddy.
Texas guard Courtney Ramey said that Timmy has his own dance. A big fun guy over here. A big fun guy.
The moves will come out if Texas keeps dancing.
