  1. We will see some of that for sure but I think weaver will spell Hunter and abmas and kind be this years rice unless we can’t find a decent wing/sf in the portal We need at least one more guard who can bring the ball up the court and a decent wing/sf who likes to play D and can hit open 3s at a decent enough rate to keep the opposition from cheating down
  2. Good work spotting the quality by the mascot
  3. I rather have a “we” guy who plays good defense and has decent basketball iq
  4. He knew things were going south at the end of the Texas run and got to head closer to home for a fresh power 5 start and salary … I doubt he feels any lingering negativity forthe longhorn nation unless we are going head to head
  5. Fuck the razorbacks… and fuck the Aggies and Sooners too!
  6. A portal guy who has played well in college a couple years or more and grown up is a better one year rental than an aloof 5 star who gives you one year of pouting, attends zero classes, and already thinks he’s league ready
  7. Starting is a bit of a red herring … I’d rather come off the bench, get 25 mins of PT, and close out a game than start both halves and get 10-15 mins A third guard will get plenty of minutes next year and could well start a few games.
  8. In fairness, though improved over the dark ages of recruiting coverage, those ratings are somewhat subjective and they cannot fully account for factors like player growth/improvement, competition, coaching plans that might not be the best fit for a player, and environment/personnel conflicts The portal different between 5 and 50 can be deceiving … depends on what you are looking for I guess and who is doing the rating
  9. Perryman gets anything more than 90 seconds of blowout time and a lot of guys he is guarding will have career games
  10. Rebuild with several new players not familiar with system and new coach with questions as to how well he can do with his own roster and coaching style Lack of PT and development of 5 star recruits The theme that Terry was basically surfing Beard’s wake… which lost steam as Terry kept the team on track The theme that assistants no longer on the team were “running the offense/defense” The theme that Texas has a gluttony of riches and resources that at times makes players lax, focused on $ over hard work, and distracted from just winning games Disclaimer: I don’t agree with many of these
  11. So damn smooth and focused… will be missed
  12. Lets get some crooked numbers in the R column this inning
  13. Just like a red light does a whorehouse
  14. My vote is no, with the caveat that giving a walk-on quality player a scholarship to fill up the spots doesn't count.
  15. That’s a wet dream until we see what is on the roster. Even with a couple decent to good portal transfers this team won’t sniff a 1-4 seed … way too much turnover… with maybe three strong portal transfers (if they even exist) and Hunter and Disu back, we might have a shot at a 4 seed and top 3 conference finish … but right now a tourney 8 seed and top 1/2 conference finish would be a success
  16. Any coach competing for a portal guy with RT will absolutely point that out
  17. Chris Beard was on the verge of turning Texas into a monster. Anyone who thinks RT will be as successful as Beard COULD have been are not worth debating. Beard definitely has the higher ceiling, which approaches dynasty level. That said, one is here and the other isn't, because Beard despite all of his salesmanship and coaching prowess... is a moeran. Let's also all remember that Beard was 65-38 in his last 4 seasons (63.1%). Granted, it looked like he had it going in 22/23, but there are no guarantees. And yes, Terry has a career 0.530 record, but that includes two major rebuilds at historically bad teams. His last 3 years at Fresno he was 66-34 (66.0%). He won't be a 0.500 coach at Texas. I would bet my retirement on it. Next year will be much rougher than this year due to all the roster turnover… regardless of who was the coach… if Terry can get some good portal value and put a competitive, hard nose team on the floor next year, he could well have a good run at Texas
  18. If you can find it after that moonshot
  19. I guess Jameer, Sr must have starting humping without his raincoat at a very young age.
  20. I want a team addicted to playing well enough to keep winning
  21. We definitely need a interior shot altering decent rebounding big man from the portal … someone who could step in and start if Disu can’t or at least a big body that can give some valuable minutes inside and keep the opponents’ centers from easier shots against smaller defenders
