  1. I haven't been following the team as closely this year so can someone succinctly explain why everyone is so up in arms against Pierce? Seems like he has been good other than this year. 3 CWS appearance, pretty much always top 10. I like the Clemson coach Bakich if he does get canned. Comes from the Corbin school, took a Big 10 to a runner up finish, now doing well at Clemson. But first get ATM to give Schloss a Jimbo-level contract lol
  2. Mark seems like a baller on both ends. Pope would be awesome and Larry seems like a good pickup. Add Weaver and Tre Johnson and that's an excellent 5-man rotation at the 1-3 positions. Three stud scorers and a few stud defenders. Then just need 1-2 more bigs.
  3. Burnt Orange Nation report said 1 but the Arkansas reports when he entered the portal all said 2, so yeah idk edit: looks like he did get a medical redshirt - Tramon Mark - Men's Basketball - University of Houston Athletics (uhcougars.com)
  4. How many years eligibility does Mark have left? I've seen different numbers online. Looks like Larry and Kent only have 1 year.
  5. The cancelling future years thing is definitely weird. Maybe that was a Diggs requirement to go along with this peacefully. Regardless, I liked the deal a lot before this news but that 2nd round pick seems a little pricey for a 1-year rental.
  6. That Shead injury sucked. Probably my favorite non-UT player to watch this year and seems like a really good kid. I'm no UH fan but they win that game if he is healthy. Hated seeing that happen.
  7. Hunter is a good defender and good when he can get a head of steam going to the basket. His shooting is average and his handles/creating bad for a PG. If he could bump his 3pt shooting just a few %, he'd be a good 3 and D type of 2-guard. We definitely need a true PG though and multiple guys who can create things on offense since Abmas and Disu are gone. tl:dr he can be a good role player but shouldn't be asked to run an offense
  8. Small sample size but I never would've expected Peja's son to shoot 50% on FTs...
  9. Don't they already have a lot of cap space right now? Not sure why they would need more. Not many big names even still out there
  10. Yeah that is very surprising. Basically pointless at that level, wouldn't be a problem for any big program. Gives Sark all the leverage in any future negotiations.
  11. Most of Surly the past two years: Sark sucks, fire him! Anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot! Most of Surly after one top 5 finish: You're a pussy if you don't think it's smart to give him a deal at the same level as multi-title winning coaches like Kirby! Y'all need to stop riding the roller coaster so damn much. Year 1 was too soon to judge him but claiming he's a slam dunk now because of one year is also foolish. He definitely deserved a big raise and 10 isn't crazy, but history has shown that long-term fully guaranteed deals based off one good season are not wise. Regardless - idk if this means it is fully guaranteed, hence the original question. Will also be curious to see what the buyout is if he were to leave. Hopefully it's a lot higher to help prevent renegotiating again soon.
  12. So is it all fully guaranteed? If so, we just gave him a fucking Jimbo contract...
  13. Looks like BoB is getting the most public buzz for the BC job right now. That would actually seem like a good hire for them and makes sense given his Boston ties
  14. That's what I want to know. What about Red Bull for Perez? Although I saw somewhere that Sainz/Verstappen didn't have the best relationship when they were teammates. He'd win a lot more races at Red Bull but obviously be clear #2. Mercedes would be interesting. Sauber/Audi seems like a big risk. He'd be #1 but their car sucks at the moment, no chance of winning races. Aston Martin would be cool if they could ditch Stroll but that'll never happen because pops owns the team.
  15. The glass dick? Sorry, couldn't help it. But yeah this sucks. Do we even have a GM? Seems odd that he'd leave
  16. I watched about a minute of one of those interviews someone posted and Baker came across very well. Definitely seems charismatic.
  17. Defensive coach, not ideal for Bijan. Also yeah like others said, wtf are they thinking. At least this means Slowik likely staying in Houston
  18. This is definitely the most surprising hire Sark has made so far but it could end up being a great one. There's nothing saying the guy is bad, there's just not much saying he's good either. Very limited track record either way. The Choice comparison is silly but actually this hire isn't all that far off from Chris Jackson, who only had 4 total years of coaching experience (all NFL, 1 on defense, 2 as assistant WR coach). Granted, Jackson had a long playing career too. Now we just have to hope hope the new Special Assistant - Defense can help coach both the secondary and DL..
  19. I choose to believe Matt Zenitz screwed this up and Baker is actually joining as an analyst
  20. One thing is for sure - hiring an unknown like this shows Sark really has some stones on him
  21. I bet Rod Wright is looking a lot better to everyone right now..
  22. SIAP but what about Clint Hurtt as a possibility? He may be waiting for the HC hire to see if he still has a job. Obviously a Pete Carroll connection there.
  23. I'm not even ready to assume he loses a bunch of games next year. He seems to be assembling a good staff, he's a good coach himself, and that roster is still loaded with talent. Plus I assume he will pull some transfers in before the season starts. If he can figure out the QB situation (big if), I expect Bama to still be a top 10 team next year.
