No, at the town hall he said top five for all programs. Top ten if perfectly fine though, and it’s what he has said in the past. We he said at the town hall was new.

Georgia is next so if they lose that is pretty much it.

CDC is talking top five. You won’t ever get confirmed numbers. Best you can do is go off inside info from various mods or personally know someone at every school. Vanderbilt is the hardest because it’s a private school.

I would like to see this team make the tournament. End the season positively. Unfortunately, there are just too many obstacles in his way to succeed. Some of it is poor evaluation of players by Oggie, poor strength and conditioning (way too many players hurt this year), an unwillingness to hold players accountable for not executing the plays called, and the unwillingness to give him the money to win. There really is no momentum for Texas basketball now. Short of a sweet sixteen I don’t see him returning. It’s not the boos, people who know nothing about basketball (offensively or defensively), it’s simply that he doesn’t have the tools necessary to succeed. A change has to happen. It will make a difference, but a top five team? I will happily eat crow on that. I am very much like Gerry, I need to see it. And that’s from the University and not a message board wannabe insider. Texas can find a coach that will improve the product on a budget. It won’t be a top five team with a low salary coach and the same NIL. Make the tournament? Sure. Maybe in year three they get to a sweet sixteen. However, that top five team isn’t happening without a lot of money going into men’s basketball. I really hope they prove me wrong. I would love to have a top five program. This is a business and RT hasn’t done enough. Honestly even if he gets to the sweet sixteen and stays, he’s going to run into the same problems. When people leave in mass five minutes before the game is over it’s a very bad look. When you have a week off and your team is blown out by a team that has no conference wins it’s embarrassing. South Carolina has played teams close at home. It’s that they were never in the game that’s the problem. If Tre, Shedrick and Kaluma put up the stats they did against Arkansas they win easily. Can they win these last three games and make the tournament? Sure, but they could also lose three straight. It’s always good to watch Texas play a tournament game. Winning tournament games don’t necessarily mean you have a strong program though. And this program is not a strong program.

The splash hire is definitely where I want to be wrong. I hope they are serious about basketball and not just funding it to keep it as the second top revenue generating sport. They can be average and still do that.

And your dumbass post.

Sorry Level one.

I don’t even know what to say to this. Agree to disagree. I got to move on. Have other things to do with my day.

Texas didn’t take 100 shots! What are you talking about? They adjusted like coaches do.

Man I am going to let you continue on with RT. You are completely missing what I am saying. The fact that you think ISO ball doesn’t take coaching means you are confusing rec ball with actual basketball.

Do you have anything to say other than Level one? And a meeting that apparently RT didn’t come off well in, without having a source? Tommy Lloyd? Really?

Who you think got Tre going on those screens in the second half? It wasn’t Tre. Who you think came up with iso ball to maximize Tre? It wasn’t Tre.

No they are not. Getting him to play defense would be maximizing him. Take a hard look at his off the ball defense.

Texas has not made a commitment to guarantee a top five program in the history of basketball at Texas. Barnes exceeded expectations. And that was before the NIL. Basketball is the second highest revenue behind football. Texas can continue to have that, without making a serious investment in basketball. Why do you think Gerry said I will believe it when I see it? He was referring to all the money it would take to just get Oats here. See the amount he listed for NIL? Any coach worth his salt will bring it up. Please take a look at the schools above us and the NIL. Sean Miller isn’t exciting anybody. Just my opinion.

There are three guarantees in life. You are born, you live and you die. I am quite sure RT could maximize his talent. Proof? Tre Johnson.

The NIL is seventh. RT definitely has his short comings, but he needs talent. Take a look a Toppin at Tech, then look at Texas with Shedrick and Onyema.

Thanks for sharing.

No they were not.

Heggs played in the NBA.

He’s the one identifying guys who may be available in the portal. That’s not good.

Thiero is out for Arkansas.

Walking? Sure, I don’t think he can stroll anymore.

Johnny Moore will lock him up.

He tried to pull his shorts off?

They will contact Drew, before Ben McCollum
