The Will Wade whispers have been loud around here for a few months now. It makes no sense to me Louisiana does not produce any talent in hoops and he would be 4th on the totem pole. Thoughts? @Gerry Hamilton

Well, it appears he certainly has a willing council to counsel him here on the internet.

Is LSU really a better job than NC State in this era? The only SEC school pouring less NIL into basketball might be OU.

The best ability is availability. It’s been over a year with this going on. It can’t continue much longer without serious decisions having to be made.

I think for certain schools like Texas, it’ll be around 25%, G5 schools, probably 10-15%

LSU lost again and lost the weekend series

Brutal analysis--only 4 of 30 finished at TA&M For UT 2022--the first full class for Sark--looks like they finished 9: Campbell, Banks, Blue, Guilbeau, Hutson, Burke, Williams, Robertson, St Louis. Seemed like more in real time but a lot of attrition still. Wonder what the ongoing norm will be for 4 years at 1 school--maybe a third at best.

Oh did not know that. Well in that case I’m all in for a 2 seed and the Fort Worth region.

No, I believe the top seeds get to pick. UConn is probably picking Fort Worth because its closer than Sacramento. UCLA is obviously picking Sacramento which is why we just needed to get ahead of South Carolina so that we could pick Fort Worth before they do.

The days of being an elite athlete and that being what makes up for the hours spent perfecting the craft are gone. Everyone that starts in the SEC in these two sports are elite athletes and they spend all of their effort to be the best at a single position. We will never see another Bo Jackson or Deion Sanders. Even they had to pick a sport at some point.

Should be no worse than the #3 overall seed

Could be but I rather matchup over location, but both would be great

You are talking about Sean Miller leaving for another school, which is putting about 10 carts before the horse.

Dude I am expecting to have a more complete team in year 2 and if we dont have the funds for that then thats not building a program because not winning wont give the program more money. Have to invest year two and have a better team than what we have. My expectations for year two arent final 4 either but at minimum being ranked at some point with less Ls against teams that we shouldn't lose to. Swain and matas are good but they are not enough for a better record next year need a few players that contribute more than guys on the team this year.

Probably but doesn’t that mean Texas would go to Sacramento for the S16 and E8 rounds and not Fort Worth?

Will you relax for one day? You keep trying to act like we are the Oakland A’s and are making Sean Miller to mop the floor to save money on the budget. We have money and will spend money. Swain wasn’t free this year. Matas wasn’t free this year. Pope and Mark weren’t free this year. Goosby and Ogden aren’t coming for free. If your expectations is we will be Duke or Kentucky or Texas Tech with a sugar daddy, you aren’t being realistic. That isn’t a requirement to be good at college basketball. We are going to be competitive in our sandbox which is in a good tier of college basketball.

1.Uconn 2.Texas🤘🏽 3.UCLA 4.USCe this is ideally how it should be when the brackets are revealed

If CDC cant give miller money to build a program hell be leavinf texas within the next few years for a school that gives him the money. He has the history to go to a school that actually values him this off-season will be the test if we are really considering taking basketball serious. You cant just have enough to keep two of your best players thats just pathetic and wouldn't blame any player for leaving if you dont have enough to build around them 😂

As they should

I am impressed by the development of our players. Carlton, Lee, and Preston are so much better than their freshman year. Booker is just a pro already. Thankfully, we have her next year. I am sure the SEC wishes she would graduate. Cunningham is much better now than the beginning of the year. She can be a force. Oldacre continues to improve too. Imagine if Coach Vic had her for four years! With our five recruits, and returners, we will be very stout again. Coach is building a monster.

Might be that needs to be allocated to players putting football only.

Just not seeing he'll be more than a spot contributor in football and can't be counted on.

This. Sad for such a tremendous athlete.

Texas doesn't need to go on a run to make the NCAA Tournament like last year. It's pretty much this... Beat Ole Miss ... 10/11 seed line. Nothing will really change seeding wise. Lose to Ole Miss ... drop to play in game (which gets into jeopardy if there are 3-4 conference tournaments that have upset winners and forces multi-bid leagues, or extra power conference selection).
