I said on the recruiting board that I was underwhelmed by Beard and got quite a few downvotes. I'll stand by that - we looked like the same grind-it-out mudball team that was mentally weak in 2021-2022 as we did with Shaka or late-period Barnes, we just had a few wins over borderline division II teams to pad the win stats and didn't vomit all over ourselves in the first round for the first time in a decade, so that was something Beard gets credit for I guess. This year? Excellent, no complaints, if Beard had done that, I'd not be underwhelmed, and he gets credit for putting the roster together, but also should not get hardly any credit for what the team actually did after he was gone considering the reason he was gone. RT did a great job this year. Maybe he's not the guy long term, but Beard's one year was not enough for me to think that the good two years at Tech were not outliers compared to the other ones. It also seems rather ridiculous for everyone to be freaking out that we haven't landed anyone yet and using that as a judge on RT long term. 
 
	 
 
	Kansas really wants to take Terio with his trial looming? Surprising to me.
