  1. He's showing he can be an elite recruiter, and we have seen what he can do when he has elite college talent.
  2. Low IQ shenandigans are player problems. You think Terry is coaching Hunter and Mitchell to be mentally and physically weak with the ball. It's amazing that a shitty coach like Scott Drew routinely had sloppy play and low IQ shenanagins game after game until he stopped recruiting those types of players and became a coach that won the tournament. Now, if you want to blame Terry for something it was thinking Hunter and Mitchell could be salvaged. Even though both are having career seasons in terms of shooting, they still aren't playing consistent winning basketball. That doesn't fall on the coaching staff, unless you think he should be benching Hunter and Mitchell until their game to game effort improves.
  3. You mean like when Chris Beard's 1st Texas team went 6-7 after January ended, and saw one of the most talented portal players leave.
  4. He played a hell of a game up until that point, which is why it made no sense because he was a difference maker in compiling a 20+ lead. But yeah, he's a had a inconsistent season overall.
  5. 10-8 is very doable as Baylor plays no defense. It will take the kind of effort we saw from the opening tip last night, but we have already beaten Baylor this season and they are missing a valubale rotation player right now. They have a big game on Saturday and turn that around with a Monday home game.
  6. You mean have a 1st season like Beard did.
  7. When the season ended, we had two committed players returning in Brock Cunningham and Alex Anamewke. Disu, Mitchell, and Hunter were all contemplating their pro futures and the HS class was deciding it would be better to start their pro careers early. Abmas, Shedrick, Weaver, and Horton were added from the portal while Johnson and Pryor were added in the late HS signing period.
  8. Going need another 20 minutes just like this one. Best 20 minutes so far this season. Can we replicate it?
  9. and he's done a much better job than anyone is willing to give him credit. Texas had 2 returning players after the season was over and no incoming HS recruits. If there was a new coach, then you are probably looking at a team without Disu, Abmas, Shedrick, Weaver, Hunter, and Mitchell. Maybe that would have been better alternative, but there's not a lot of success turning over entire rosters in a single off-season in college basketball. Beard's 1st team had some dreadful performances and lost the best a guy now predicited to go in the lottery and another needed big before the season even ended. I am begining to think that the majority of the people in this thread would have gladly traded the EE finish if it meant Rodney Terry wouldn't be the coach today.
  10. Texas is also a few missed FTs or mitchell's dunks away from having 2-3 more wins if you want to play the what-if game. We all expected Hunter and Mitchell to take the next step, but neither are capable. Any other coach besides Terry and everyone on this board is saying give the guy a chance to fix the mess left by Beard.
  11. Please name all the great schools that got to the Sweet 16 every year in the last 20 years, last 10 years, last 5 years. This is Bill Self's 21st season at KU, and he's barely over .500 at that expectation. Beard was fired in disgrace after beating up his finace. In his 3 chances to sign HS players, he brought in exactly one player that stayed more than a single season with the program. Tyson 5-star that left after a semester. Morris - 5-star that assaulted a female friend before he stepped foot on campus, left after a season and raped a woman while at KU. Mitchell - 5-star athlete with little basketball skill, sounds familar to the previous coach. Anamewke - 3-star that was a late addition that has been a program player, but probably not good enough to ever get significant minutes. Johnson - 4/5-star that didn't have the grades nor the desire to go to college. Holland - 5-star that decided he'd rather piss his draft stock down his leg than go to college. So after a season in which Texas made the Elite 8 for the 1st time in 20+ years, Texas was looking at a roster with 2 returning players, a 6th year SR glue guy and a low-star player with little upside. Great job by the previous coach to lay a strong fondation for the next guy. In Terry's two chances to bring in HS talent. He has signed Johnson - 4-star guard that he flipped from KU Pryor - 4-star forward that he got to recalssify and agreed to RS. Johnson - 5-star wing that will likely so up on campus and there is a chance he's as good as Walter is for Baylor this year. Scott - 4-star guard that has a very good outside shot. Codie - 4-star forward that Kelvin Sampson wanted badly.
  12. Choice is on the assistant to HC track. Being tied to Sarkisian's offense is much better than Bobo's offense.
  13. Gerry confirmed that Jacoby has completely blown off the coaching staff starting in January. Made it seem that his decisions might make it difficult to find a new place willing to pay him what he thinks he should get. He also said that Texas has ZERO interest.
  14. It was a mess left by Beard. He put little effort into HS recruiting last season outside of Johnson, Holland, and Stojakovic and had a team that was going to be losing most of the experienced players. Terry's biggest mistake was bringing back Hunter and Mitchell.
  15. Forfeits. Your fans rush the court before the visiting team is allowed to leave, your team forfeits the win.
  16. UH now has the inside track to the #1 overall seed.
  17. I am not sure dumping Mills is a good idea. $2.5M is a good number for your backup. You got to think that Keenum is soon to move to the coaching staff, either here or at UH. The cap hit that really sucks is Howard, that is a lot to pay for an OG coming off an injury plagued season.
  18. Ohio State hiring Shaka Smart would be a total Bjorked move.
  19. Swoopes is so jealous that a white, Catholic, straight woman going to do more for the WNBA than her 4 chamopionships every did.
  20. Really depends on what they want to focus on in the portal. He was always going to be a guy that needed a year. He wasn't going to play at Kansas either. Returning players will likely be Johnon, Pryor, Weaver, Onyema, Anamekwe, and Shedrick. Recruiting class of Johnson, Scott, and Codie so far. Portal needs are CG and a rotational wing. Maybe a PG and/or Center depending on how they fell about what they have returning. Johnson, Weaver, Johnson, portal wing, Shedrick Portal CG, Scott, Pryor, Codie, Onyema
