Sean Miller has been mentioned without changing the NIL or salary. If you are going to six to seven million and an increased NIL? Then you can really get a flash hire. Would love to see Texas actually do that. Saying it is one thing, doing it is another. Even if Texas had no NIL, it should still have a team that doesn’t get blown out by South Carolina. You can still have a team that doesn’t look lifeless against Georgia at home, knowing you need to win. If CDC can convince a flash hire coach to take a pay cut and the current NIL, and have them consistently finish in the top half of the SEC, they will build a statue of him.

Been wanting Tre to bring the ball up for weeks. Apparently getting in late from the Arkansas game is to blame.

JT Toppin is a beast! In all seriousness if Drew goes to Indiana then he probably goes to Baylor. Then Tech will definitely pay high dollar for a coach. They are serious about basketball. Have a huge donor giving money to football and basketball.

If they fire him tonight it’s probably Frank Haith.

Interesting.

All that NIL, Calapari, and Arkansas can’t beat South Carolina either! If CDC is talking to other coaches about what could work here, I pray one of those people is not Calapari.

Do you think Texas knocks Georgia and OU out if they win both?

I have heard that before and I have heard others.

Then don’t read my response. I didn’t know we were going off of what you believe. Urban wanted two new practice fields. CDC actually does get told no. If he doesn’t then let’s get the Duke coach.

You think they hired RT without sending feelers out to Oats? Mussleman? Calapari(CDC has a close relationship with him)? They reached out to Urban Meyer in football. Urban had a demand list. You don’t remember that?

Having a short list doesn’t mean they are coming.

What is the bar?

Totally forgot about Jai recruiting Henderson. It won affect Duke too much though. Good for Jai. If it’s Beard versus Drew that’s a not brainer. Getting Drew to leave is the hard part. So we got Sean Miller, Quinn Snyder and Royal Ivey. Why would Quinn take a pay cut? Austin is beautiful, but three million less beautiful?

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.
