  1. I think in a world where everything is equal Texas probably gets in based on resume. If I were the committee I just wouldn't want to send a 14th team from a conference that didn't play anyone OOC and who are propped up by winning 6 out of 18 of their conference games. Feels like a poor precedent.
  2. Even the last basketball hiring cycle here I clearly remember a handful of people kept saying "make Jay Wright say no"
  3. If you're right, then what does it matter/why do you care what Gerry is saying? This feels like a pretty black and white issue that we'll have the answer on in a few weeks. It's not like us posting the pros and cons of paying a buyout/wanting x coach changes anything
  4. Going from one of the best up and coming coaches, having him die to cancer, then hiring Rodney Terry would complete one of the most awful years for a basketball program I've ever seen
  5. There is literally no precedent for firing a coach that has even made the Sweet 16 as far as I've been able to search. I promise you can hold yourself together for a few more days until we're officially dead without crashing out.
  6. He absolutely would, but it'd be a Kevin Keatts situation. It's uncomfortable, but this is why the "ideal" is a Woodson/Hamilton situation where you announce Terry is done after the season but he finishes the year out so you can't have Haith steal the job with a miracle run.
  7. Trashawn Ruffin (from NC) visiting UNC
  8. Nakos immediately followed up to say Tech isn't out of it fwiw
  9. Totally valid, and I'm not saying I wouldn't give him a call or that I wouldn't be fine hiring him in a fully formed process. He's just not going to be my #1 by a long distance where I'm not considering other options. I do think some of the Bulls o/u has some noise to it where they just don't tank where rational teams tank in order to try and be the #10 team in the conference.
  10. Look at Louisville which was quite literally the rock bottom of all p6 programs the last couple years. I'd be pissed if we weren't good immediately under a new coach. I don't really get the fascination with Donovan. It's been 10 years since he's been in the college game and, while not totally his fault, he's been with the most lifeless, directionless team in the NBA for 5 years and hasn't really had a year you'd say he's overperformed over expectation ever? At least Snyder has shown more ability to win and improve teams more recently but neither guy is inspiring and neither is leaving an NBA job so Snyder is almost definitely out of the picture and Donovan feels like a 50/50 at worst to stay in Chicago. It also feels like we'd be buying Donovan at the lowest his stock has been. I also place way less emphasis on recruiting given teams focusing way less on high school recruiting and have been on record wanting a competent offensive minded coach since before Beard which we haven't seen in Austin in at least the last 15 years. That kind of leads to Wade who fits the mold of great recruiter, mediocre at best coach that we've had. Very cool that he's outtalenting teams in the Southland, that's not the a performance that should lead to being hired at Texas.
  11. The Stampede: Top recruiting priorities for new Texas assistants
  12. I've applied for jobs with them before and I still have no idea what they do
  13. This is the most baffling suggestion I have ever seen. Ya dude totally, let's get the coach who had an archaic offense, players hated, and totally bombed as a head coach in his most recent head role who hasn't even coached in college in 15 years. What about him makes you want him? Why did you even think of him? What is wrong with you?
  14. Mark Few isn't coming Jay Wright isn't coming The sooner we get past that the better
  15. It might be a good hire but will it matter when he only has the chance to help find players in the Spring portal and Venables gets canned
  16. Nansen tried to bring him with him last year so based on that and their relationship it doesn't feel surprising.
  17. Lunardi is one of the worst prognosticators in the business fwiw
  18. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/43974665/duke-associate-coach-jai-lucas-focus-miami-search Not the type of candidate CDC has gone after but he was gonna be tied to the job
  19. https://surlyx.com/Hayesfawcett3/status/1893111804194107472 Did I miss something on us losing ground
  20. It's the recruiting forum and he's a sophomore. Take it to the football board
  21. He's a Texas alum so good shot he has some connection to let him know what they've decided. He's also pretty reliable in my experience.
  22. https://footballscoop.com/news/texas-approves-raise-extensions-for-steve-sarkisian-and-two-assistants So Banks and Nansen just had raises/extensions announced by the school. Obviously doesn't guarantee either staying but it's a notable point.
  23. If Ashley/Aneesa go home next week am I supposed to just not watch after the elimination? The edit last week showing the Kellyanne/Sylvia fight for seemingly no reason only for them to be thrown in now felt really hamfisted and now we know why. And ya, Aneesa sucks in every aspect of this game.
