  1. Actually it's not. He's a legit top 50 player. Big combo guard who shoots fairly well and plays great defense. He's a tier down from Cason Wallace, but he's a similar player. The fact that people hate his father doesn't make him a 3 star player.
  2. Did something happen to Disu? He hasnt been on the court in awhile.
  3. We need something for Rice or Allen in isolation on our next offensive possession.
  4. I was specifically speaking to your comments on our offense which has empirically been light years better over that time period since Beard's been out. Beyond that it's fucking college basketball. I say this every year if you watch enough college basketball you realize that even the best of them suck periodically during games. Especially if the only other form of basketball you see is NBA basketball. They all get stagnant with off ball movement frequently during games whereas in the NBA the ball and the players are constantly moving and cutting.
  5. Maybe it's just that we're actually playing good teams now instead the sister's for poor schedule we played in the preseason.
  6. This is what Morris should be doing. To the point of actually forcing it. He's so inside his head right now and is just an observer on the offensive end of the court. He's the sort of talent that could put us over the top if he were ever to reach his potential this year.
  7. That's my concern as well, but after seeing what he's paid and his buyout my hope for our prospects have improved quite a bit.
  8. I like Oats & Mussleman as well, but judging by how most of us viewed Shaka's offense I'm not sure we'd stomach a lot of what Oats and Musseleman do much better when we're watching them up close night after night. They're teams like to launch the 3 with reckless abandon as well and can get stagnant with their movement when they're not hitting from outside. The only they do that is somewhat different from Shaka is get to the free throw line (this is particularly true of Oats and less so of Mussleman). And of course they do what Shaka is doing now, but didn't do here for whatever reason which is force the tempo.
  9. Lloyd is my number one choice For one, I'm fairly convinced that by continuing his current recruiting protocol of going after the best available Euros and supplementing that with National top 100 Texas high school players he'd kill it here. And every now and then he'd probably get a National top 5 Texas kid. Let's face it, we're not the most sophisticated college bball fanbase. A nice shiny object of some outstanding offensive basketball to go along with a consistently top 5 to 15 ranked team would have Moody packed night in and night out.
  10. Morris needs to stop shooting 3s. He needs to go to the hole every other time he has the ball and force the defense into vulnerable situations. He's too athletic to sit on the perimeter and be an observer of the game on the offensive end.
  11. That win at the Phog that the refs stole from y'all may cost him his job.
  12. No we saw lot of well designed screens this year. The problem is we typically only saw them once a game.
  13. All of those screen plays out of 2 back sets like the one to start the Bama game came from Marion's Go-Go offense concepts. Our most productive personnel package this season was out of 2 back sets, which again was due to his influence.
  14. This is why having a raucous crowd and an actual home court advantage is extremely important. The Erwin Center and the lack of a consistently intimidating home environment handicapped us in year's past. We need that environment for the Kansas St's and TCU's of the world just as much as we need it for the KU's
  15. Not sure I've seen anything like this before.
  16. Sark needs to hand over play calling duties to Milwee or Marion or some one else. He routinely forgets or doesn't return to concepts that give the offense success early in the game. In game after game this year our 2nd half motion and presnap movement would be reduced by 50 to 75% compared to the 1st half. Our 2 back offensive was the most explosive personnel grouping for us on the year yet it was nowhere to be found last night. We get an explosive play out of Casey Cain motioning into the backfield and then never seen anything like that again for the rest of the game. We motion Brooks out into the slot leaving an empty set and Washington's D spazzes and leaves Gunner Helm wide as open for an explosive play yet we never go to anything resembling that concept again. We motion Worthy into the slot which matches him up on a safety and of course he drops it, unfortunately Sark reached his quota for concepts that confused the defense and eliminated it from the playbook. This type of shit was a constant theme all season. Sark game plans his ass off to start a game and then never plays the hits again for the rest of the game.
  17. Penix has like 500+ passing attempts this season and has only been sacked 5 times. Their pass blocking is really good.
  18. The only thing that will hurt the league a bit with UT and OU leaving is no longer having a round robin schedule where everyone plays each other twice. I guess next year ( our last year in league) we'll go back to playing KU or a few of the teams only once.
  19. Michigan is still suffering from a pre-NIL psychology of not wanting to "lower themselves" by paying athletes. Their NIL infrastructure is nowhere close to what it should be.
  20. Right now, in my eyes the Texas basketball program is analogous to LSU football circa 2001 in Saban's 2nd year. At that point LSU routinely sent loads of talent to the NFL and despite some recent success the ridiculous level that the program would reach over the next 20 years wasn't exactly predictable to anyone back then. However, all the necessary ingredients required for their coming success was already present within the program and state at that time. By that same token for Texas basketball, all of the previous hurdles preventing schools from the state from having sustained college basketball success have been slowly removed over the past couple of decades. Everything from instate skill development and talent busting at the seams, to newly established NIL rules reducing the reluctance of some schools from getting too heavily involved in the basketball recruiting muck. I really don't think it's clear to most Longhorns fans outside of maybe the most ardent basketball aficionados how good Texas high school basketball is compared to the rest of the country right now. Having a guy like Beard (hopefully keeping him if we can) at the helm of the program at this moment in time is a godsend in terms of taking advantage of all that is available for building and sustaining a championship level program.
  21. Two of five consensus #1 high school bball recruits have come from the state of Texas. 2020 Cade Cunningham 2024 Tre Johnson. I meant to quote your other post but Texas bball recruiting has passed Texas football recruiting in terms of elite talent production.
