In hindsight, Texas should have let Tramon Mark walk. I had hope after his short tourney sample at PG, but we should have known better.  He is really an undersized SF, which we don't need with Swain.  But he wants to be a guard, so Miller should have known that this could only end badly and cut bait.

Pope will also never be a point guard. He is an undersized SG gunner who isn't even a very good shooter. His defense is poor. His passing is poor. His movement without the ball is poor.  He probably has a spot on the team, but no more than 20 mpg max.

Weaver will also never be a point guard.  He should be a 15 mpg change of pace, disruptor.  

Bottom line, these 3 are all out of eligibility after this year, so it isn't even like they will get much development.  I would have much rather gotten some upside freshman / sophomore true guards, even if it meant we only won 10 games this year but built for the future.

All of this. 

 

I said from the start Mark at PG was a change up move not a solution. 

The tiny PG transfers from last years are not sec athletes or real PGs

 

We seemed to have fixed the size issue this season but still have no PG.

Should prioritize 2 in the portal next off season.

Who’s to blame for the schedule?  Beard/CDC?  I prefer Barnes “steel sharpens steel” approach…

 

There’s no difference really between this year’s schedule and Beard’s schedule in year 1.

Kind of agree, but we did sprinkle in:

  • #160 Sam Houston
  • #186 Northern Colorado
  • #233 California Baptist
  • #273 San Jose State

San Jose State, the worst of that group, was beating teams like we are playing by 25 points.  

I really think it teaches our players to not give a shit, and it is evident when you watch them.  They know it is going to be a blowout, so they just half ass it the whole game.

That’s culture.

Why would Beard have anything to do with this year's schedule?

I think basketball schedules are generally more flexible than football, but presumably the schedule is mostly set a year or two our and Beard’s preference for racking up wins against lower level completion was introduced during his tenure and continued by Terry.
