    I didn’t want to post this in the young man’s commitment thread but the first thing an Arkansas booster told me is he was rumored to be involved in a love triangle with another player. Obviously his personal preferences are of no concern but hopefully he wasn’t part of something that damaged the locker room at his prior team. 

    Yes we’ve know about the supposed Arkansas gay story for a few months now.

     

    No one has said shit since. 

  2. Donovan was never coming back to college. Neither is Stevens. 

    It's amazing what college fans think of their programs, that they will be able to attract a professional coach or front office guy to come coach at their college/university just because of who they are and how much money they can offer. It's not always about the money.

    Agreed.  Rick Barnes was a similar hire.  Well known, respected, but not among the elite.  When the time comes to move on from RT, our AD will have his work cut out for him in identifying the right guy for the job.  Beard was a no-brainer (he appears to lack a brain).  Shaka, eh, he certainly could have done better here.

    I don't think we'd ever pay more than we pay the football coach, so as it stands now, I suspect the idea of luring legends like Donovan and Wright back to the college game are non-starters.

     

    Wright isn’t coming back to the college game. He’s done done. 

    I know you’re just using this as an example (and this isn’t a complaint about you and if you think it is you owe me a bourbon), but I’m not sure why some of our fans are stuck on the idea that Texas can have or does have the appeal to get someone of Wright’s caliber, especially now that he’s retired and is pretty open about being done done. (Same with people who argued we could lure Painter from his alma mater because money)

    Texas has the ability to offer the “future” when it comes to our job because we don’t have that much success in the tournament but we’ve shown we have the ability (and infrastructure) to get there and be a power with the right person. That, to me, doesn’t scream Hurley or anyone else leaving a blue blood, their Alma mater, or a place with more success than Texas just to come here.
