  1. Because you don’t actually have all that much information available. At least not with this job, because it’s been 3 weeks. The reality is people aren’t actually judging Terry for just these 3 weeks, they’re judging his overall resume because they didn’t think he deserved the job in the first place. So we’re just having the same argument that’s been going on all season. But that argument is over, he did well in the tourney and he’s got the job now. It’s over, he got it. The need to re-litigate this argument every day something great doesn’t happen is exhausting and pointless. Is anybody putting a gun to your head and saying you can’t do something? You’re allowed to say what you want, and I’m allowed to call it stupid.
  2. I’m not even defending him. If it’s bad when it actually matters (ie. when the season is near), I will be among his harshest critics. I’m just not grading his test while he’s still taking it. Nothing definitive has happened yet, we have no idea what the roster will be.
  3. So just going to ignore all of the points I made and zero in on the word pussy huh? Criticize all you want, but people have the right to make counterpoints and pointing out that barely any time has passed at all is a valid one. If we get to the starting point of the season and the roster looks like a total disaster, then some of the so called “RT defenders”will probably be right there with you. But 3 weeks is laughably impatient, and more indicative of “petulant childishness” than saying the word pussy.
  4. Because it’s been like 3 weeks since he got the job. Because the season doesn’t start for another 6+months from now. Because big time transfers will still be changing teams through the summer. Marcus Carr committed to us in June two years ago. I don’t know if RT is going to work out or not, but I do know being a pussy about it less than a month in is stupid.
  5. Basketball reporting has been super spotty for the last several years, I assume there are other names and we just don’t know about them. We didn’t even know the date of the Abmas visit until right before he got there.
  6. This thread sucks. Jesus Christ. Does anyone here actually watch college basketball? None of you remember the sweet 16 run ORU went on a couple of years ago? Abmas was the star of the tournament. Kevin Obanor became a decent player at Tech and he was clearly the 2nd best player on that ORU team behind Abmas.
  7. He’s not very good, so normally I’d think he just got pushed out, but aggy is low on scholarship players already, they shouldn’t need to push guys out, they actually need bodies.
  8. Texas tried to get in late on him, but he stuck with Baylor.
  9. The basketball board is the whine about RT board, no need to turn this thread into that too.
  10. We took 7 OL in that 22 class. We knew when we took them somebody was going to transfer.
  11. I understand the instinct to worry, but we didn’t have any transfers last year on this exact date either. There is plenty of time, 2 years ago Marcus Carr didn’t commit to us until Mid July.
  12. Former ORU coach Paul Mills and K-State Jerome Tang were on the Baylor staff together.
  13. Which part? The part where I say the Beard situation may have affected these kid’s decisions or the part where I say I expect upheaval but not of the entire roster every year. I don’t think either of those require such a dramatic response from you.
  14. It’s important to remember though, that some of this instability happening is because of the Chris Beard situation. Not sure Brumbaugh or AJ Johnson leave if the coach they committed to wasn’t fired for DV charges. We thought guys might bail in the middle of the season when it first happened. They waited until the season was over instead. I expect a certain level of instability to be the new normal with the portal, but I don’t necessarily expect it to this extent every single year.
  15. I can’t really argue with the AJ Johnson stuff. A guy going to the NBL months after signing with us was not something I anticipated to be a problem (AJ Johnson is literally the only guy in the country to do it). Im still very happy about Ron Holland (assuming he doesn’t bounce too) and I don’t regret Dillon Mitchell. But Johnson and Morris were wastes of time and resources.
  16. Very few Americans go the NBL route. The NBL has a next stars program meant for guys to prep for the NBA, but it’s filled with other international players. Their most recent success is Josh Giddey, who is Australian anyway.
  17. The last guy to go to the NBL was Lamelo Ball, it worked out fine for him.
  18. I wasn’t all that concerned about transfers not coming in yet, it’s still very early for that. But the number of people leaving is hard not to worry about. Landing Abmas would definitely help soothe that though.
  19. Last one out, shut off the lights. Shit is looking rough right now
