  1. Indiana State should have made the tournament and finished top 40 in Kenpom. This is a really bad argument.
  2. When adding two starters from a Kenpom top 40 team are your 2nd and 3rd best additions of the day you know it was a pretty good day.
  3. Garrison and Avila would be ideal. An athletic big and then a more skilled big. Seems unlikely both would come here though but I guess never say never.
  4. Texas added two starters from a Kenpom top 40 team (Larry and Kent) and then one of the best players in the portal (Mark). Can't ask for a much better day. Add Pope and we should be good at guard and then go get a couple of bigs.
  5. Our backcourt could be insane next year with Larry, Pope, Johnson, Mark, and Weaver. Mark and Johnson would obviously get quite a few minutes at the 3 too.
  6. Larry makes a ton of sense with those other guards. Floor general to add around a bunch of other guards that can score.
  7. Julian Larry to Texas. There is our PG type. Pretty damn good day for Texas. Larry makes a ton of sense with the rest of those guards who are scorers. Now we have a floor general around a bunch of scorers.
  8. 26th and that's probably too low if Texas adds Pope. That backcourt would be one of the best in the country between Pope, Weaver, Mark, and Johnson.
  9. A backcourt of Weaver, Mark, Johnson, and Pope would be pretty damn good. It's obvious that RT was not a fan of that small backcourt last year with Abmas/Hunter.
  10. For people wondering why Texas was ranked where they were in the preseason rankings now you know why. They knew Texas would go buy players in the portal.
  11. How many of our losses have come against dominant pitchers? Canady, Berzon, Kilfoyl, and Maxell? Don't think Baylor has an arm of this caliber. Stating the obvious here, but feels like you are going to need a legit ace to beat this Texas team.
  12. Can't walk this many hitters but they've been effectively wild tonight. Baylor hasn't put together many good swings at all.
  13. I don't know why everything has to be a slight at RT. Pope beat several good teams at home this year and then once again accomplished nothing. Somehow Kentucky hiring Pope (0 NCAA tournament wins in 9 years) turned into a bash RT thread who has won 4 NCAA tournament games in the last 2 years.
  14. Pope has made the NCAA tournament 2 times in 8 seasons (not including Covid year) and knocked out both times in the 1st round by a double digit seed. Maybe this works but this is about as bad a hire a blue-blood can make.
  15. Gardiner is legit. I think she's probably even undervalued at #6. Her 3 point % and FT percentage at somebody her size and as a Sophomore is pretty damn special. If she just played more minutes at Oregon State she would be a much bigger name.
  16. Even if we don't land Beers the other big from Oregon State is also very good. Gardiner is probably a top 5 player in the portal. I think Gardiner is also less likely to rock the boat with Jones because she can play the 4 and 5. The thing with Beers is she's a legit game changer and can be an All-American caliber player.
  17. She can't and especially with her injury history. But Jones has started for good teams at Oregon State and Texas. It's still a difficult sell to convince a player like Jones to come off the bench.
  18. That's the only worry with Beers at Texas. I know Jones announced she's returning but she would not start over Beers. Not sure how Jones would react to Beers at Texas.
  19. With Holle, Harmon, the two FR guards, and Booker who can also give you minutes at PG it will be interesting how the portal goes at guard. Feels like we will have to convince somebody to play 20 to 23 minutes instead of being a 30+ minute type.
  20. I think the problem with Gaston/Jones is they're both good but neither are game changers. Really high floor with those two but there are potentially game changers in the portal. Texas has game changers at guard (Rori) and wing (Booker) next year. The other issue with Gaston/Jones is both have a pretty extensive injury history. I say it's very unlikely both those 2 would ever be healthy together for a full season.
  21. It was pretty obvious we were looking to upgrade at the 5 when Blair Schaefer started following the two Oregon State bigs (Beers and Gardiner). Both of which are better than Gaston and probably even Jones. Beers is the best player in the portal.
  22. Give Beers whatever she wants in terms of NIL. Rori, Booker, and Beers can win a title.
  23. I think this is the main problem. Most would be fine having Mitchell and Hunter back if they are just 1) role players and 2) don't require much NIL allocation. Seems unlikely but I think it was @closetojumpingthat suggested Mitchell looked around last year and didn't get any takers at the price he wanted. Maybe the same is true this cycle.
