Get what your saying and it's correct, but Golden is going to be a Hall of Fame level coach if he stays in college long enough. He's special IMO. He also went 16-17 year one, and lost in Round of 64 year two. He legitimately built a program (part of it was learning on job quickly and lack of NIL compared to blue bloods and major programs) ... Hough was a 3-star, Reuben C. was a lowly recruited guy to Wash State and portaled, Alex Condon was an undervalued 3-star from Aussi, Klavchar was a 3-star from Slovakia, etc... not a McDonald's AA on the team last year. Guys developed over time. There just isn't patience like that for program building anyone, sadly. It's super inflated instant gratification, no matter if a team/program is a top 5 NIL team or top 35-40 NIL team. If Sean Miller takes three years to build a sustainable program, Texas fans will have given up and want him fired. Just reality.

Muschamp being in all these recruitments is unreal. Love having a DC that recruits tenaciously like Boom does.

I'll say this ... having seen: LB/EDGE Jabarrius Garror (Vigor) DB Ai'King Hall (Dothan) LB Jeremiah Culpepper (Troup County) CB Aamaury Fountain (Northside) LB Ja'Bois Smith (Swainsboro) S Jernard Albright (Effingham County) And Isaac Wilson (Vigor), who Texas is still recruiting Haven't seen one yet on this trip that I think is a mistake from a prospect stand point.

Second game he has done this. Pointless to say anything. Just going to watch the team.

I’m sure they will, but a 10-15% chance is absurd lol.

A&M will be ready and waiting. Texas can certainly win that game, but I am not counting on it.

As I’ve said before, this is why year 1 is important. Not from the perspective of “hey, we need to make a Sweet 16,” but “hey, can we see what this could be.” I can’t imagine Todd Golden got a massive NIL commitment when he got to Florida. Florida also spends a sh*t ton on football and a great amount on baseball. It’s really not hard seeing Texas get to that point. Miller just has to show it, which I think he has.

The boys fought hard and kept it close for a long time.

And I agree. It pisses me off that we have a top ten coach that is expected to get great players at flea market prices.

Whatever man. I had the tournament as the bar to start the season. This is the second game you have done this. Not much to respond to. Pope is a massive liability on defense. Coach Miller is talking about him specifically when he talks about defense. I guess pointing that out is wrong. I have said Mark is hot and cold and he is. Not sure how that means he sucks. Are we not allowed to be critical of players?

Well then I guess Vegas was way off because they had it at +6 Florida. I think you’re greatly overestimating A&M, who I’ve watched get boat raced 4 out of the last 5 games.

Miller is a damn good coach. An elite coach IMO. 4 E8's and 8 Sweet 16's speak for itself. All depends on if Texas comes through in NIL. Agents love to use Texas to maximize dollars. If not, will be tough to maximize. Just being real. Otherwise, you have to catch lightening in a bottle on some lesser NIL guys. Just the way it works.

I mean sure. I’m not bashing on coaching. As you said, the team just isn’t that good. A thirteen point swing in three minutes is hot garbage regardless of the circumstances.

If you din't think Florida was going to win by double digits, not sure what to say. Florida was the absolute worst matchup for Texas. They negated Texas' strength as a team. The only team that truly can. A&M is a chance, like 10-15% Arkansas is a bad matchup for Texas.

I dont think anyone thought they would win but reading your post why has your tone changed so much ? You were so high on miller which ill be real I wasnt but now I am. You seem very doubtful now that this program will become something and you didnt sound like that last offseason when we hired him ? maybe I am reading into it too much but u dont seem as positive. I also dont get the doubt on NIL you yourself have said that agents are calling texas and we have a top 10 recruiting class coming in. I think miller could have this team be a top 16 team each year and the signs are there and hes started bringing talent so your tone seems shifted. I could also care less if we make tournament this first year as long as he makes it next year which I think he will. Terry left this roster is very bad shape

A&M looks like their legs are shot and they’re not that good, as we speak, Arky is getting run by A&M. I think you’re crazy to think that those aren’t winnable games, especially considering Swain has been a top 5 player in the SEC. To the Vegas point, Vegas even disagreed with you and had Florida as 6-point favorites tonight. Not everyone thought this was going to be a double digit game.

Some do, and some don't all I've said is it's not a guarantee. Literally all season. So take that somewhere else

Every freaking one of yall are. Please Jordan. Haha It's exhausting. Literally the worst threads all season. The expectations for this team are just not even close to reality. That's on every one of you guys.

Bucky McMillan and Jai Lucas will make the tourney in year one.

It’s what I have been saying. It’s three games to get one win. Have no idea who is saying those guys suck. Definitely not me.

I was coming to post the same thing. You're going to see more schools do this unless the framework changes. These players have to understand this free for all won't last forever. Sorsby signed a contract and breached it. Now he gets to deal with the consequences. Wouldn't surprise me to see someone cover the settled amount (as someone stated above).

Have to say there is no excuse for being this bad defensively. You can be bad but not that bad.

Why is anyone surprised? Texas was never beating Florida. It was going to be a double digit game. They are a damn good team with a number of returnees of an NC team. Best big men in the country (BTW, none highly recruited in the states) with experience that will all play pro ball on some level, key guard off the bench on the NC team and Golden is a GREAT offensive coach. Texas will likely lose at Texas A&M (10-15% chance to win) and will definitely lose at Arkansas. Texas literally has four straight games against NCAA Tournament teams, with three on the road. Texas is favored in NONE of them. If anyone think Texas should win... Vegas is pretty good at what they do! This has been setting up for the OU game at home being the must win. And it's always been ... will the Mississippi State game come back to haunt. But in the mean time while everyone awaits the OU game and SEC Tournament ... Miller sucks, Swain isn't ready to go pro, Matas sucks, Pope sucks, Mark sucks, everyone sucks. I'll keep saying the same thing as I have since prior to the season ... Danny Hurley at UConn (under .500), Todd Golden at Florida (under .500), Rick Pitino at St. Johns,Nate Oats at Alabama, Chris Beard at Ole Miss, Brad Underwood at Illinois, Mick Cronin at UCLA all missed the NCAA Tournament year one in the portal era. The future years will come down to one of two scenarios ... 1. Texas fully funds the [program from the NIL side to be competitive in the portal. 2. Miller and staff catch lightening in a bottle a couple of times with a HS prospect or couple of not high-end NIL portal guys.

Florida really did a much better job on Mark in the second half.

I agree. That’s why I said Texas would potentially lose five in a row if they dropped the LSU game.
