There will be nine (9) open roster spots. You’re left with a core of young talent, some who didn’t have ample on-floor opportunities to know. Nine (9) open roster spots is a luxury. Talented Texans who are already there always have to be included in the equation to build continuity and Longhorn pride. In this era, coaches who continue to develop players will have an advantage. There are also Texans playing well in other parts of the country who may want to come home and represent their state with pride. Nine (9) open roster spots…that’s a rotation.

Mark still could have eligibility if he gets a medical exemption for 2021-22, so we could have anywhere between 7 to 13 roster spots depending on who bolts in the offseason, including our only guy on an NIL.  They've been known to back out when a coaching change occurs. 

So . . . a new coach will be starting from scratch.  Even if any of our guys return, there isn't a proven scorer in the bunch, unless you want to count Mark.

And I have ALWAYS been a huge fan of Weaver.  Do you realize he is our only 40% 3pt shooter this year among players who have attempted more than 2 threes?  Ok, small sample size, but that dude is impressive as hell in so many respects.  He still needs to work on first step on defense so he isn't playing from behind so often, but the ball never sticks with him on offense when he is in the game, he boards like a maniac, and give him minutes and watch good things happen.

Might be hard to get a good hire there, what with all the States leaving to join Oregon and Washington State in the reconfigured Pac Not Even Close to 12, even if UNLV is trying to somehow wrangle an invite into a P4 conference.

Jon Scheyer and Todd Golden and the best HMBB coaches in the country under the age of 40.

And neither had P5 HC experience when they were given the job at their current schools. 

Which is one of the reasons I keep arguing for hiring the best young rising coach instead of a mid-career to late-career guy.

I suppose I agree... but you have to be right.

If they have the money for the buyout, God bless 'em.

Would be funny if the Big East then added Gonzaga, St. Mary's, Santa Clara, Portland, San Diego, and Loyola-Marymount, making Cronin make all those cross-country trips again.

I love the On3 post that post laughable numbers about NIL. Such a fun guessing game they created to draw clicks.

That's the case with any coach except for just a handful of guys.
