    I assume Holland will be one of our incoming bigs and that we will have interchangeable 4/5 in a lot of cases.

    Do you really think UTEE97 likes RT and wants him to succeed? I feel like I’m being labeled a RT fan, but I’m not. I agree that his resume is not suitable to be the UT coach. But that doesn’t matter now because he IS the coach. I just feel like we should let the off-season play out before we judge him. It would be nice if we waited a few years to divide into the pro and anti RT factions and just focused on supporting UT hoops for a while.

    Not being surprised and not caring are two different things

    Holy Shit! Donewald is leaving! (said 18 different fanbases over the last 28 years)

    Aren't you doing exactly this with me? Even linked my handle so it would show up and alert me. SMFH.

    If Beard was still here, not one person would be criticizing him if Donewald left. Instead it would be “look how well Beard develops his assistants!!!”.

    I rounded up...

    Getting Abmas is now absolutely critical. Having a relatively efficient 25 ppg, high usage bucket getter on you team can cover a lot of other issues.

    Looking at NIL deals, On3 had Marcus Carr estimated at $175K last year. I would hope that Disu and Hunter could get comparable deals - especially after our Elite 8 run. Disu is pretty popular - I could see him getting even more than that. It looks like a G-League salary is in the $50K range, but I'm sure players can make more overseas. Coming back to college is definitely a much better financial decision than it used to be if a player isn't drafted. Not only do they get the NIL money, they still get free tuition and room & board. Plus they have the chance to showcase their skills to a much broader audience than in Europe. I have no reason to believe that both of these players won't be back.

    I'm not currently seeing Disu on any NBA draft boards. Mitchell is coming in anywhere from 20-35. Tyrese Hunter is 50+ if listed at all. If I'm making bets, I would say that both Tyrese Hunter and Disu both come back. Hopefully we can load them both up with nice NIL deals to make it worth their while. The team is going to be so much more top heavy than last year. I bet all of our starters are going to be in the 30-35 mpg range. If Disu comes back I could see him having one of the better seasons for a Texas big in a long time.

    Somewhere we need a master list of transfer portal targets that we can update as they fall off the board or commit.

    I'm sure Terry is very familiar with this guy since he recruited him and coached him for a year. Seems like a decent get for some bench depth. Onyema averaged 7.1 pts, 4.4 reb in 20 mpg for UTEP last year. For reference Christian Bishop averaged 6.6 pts, 3.4 reb in 18 min for us last year. So if Onyema continues to develop, he could probably replace some of that production. Free throw shooting at 56% is a concern... but it is up from 30%!! Also looks like he is eligible for two years of play.

    For me, the minimum bar is making the tournament regardless of who leaves any given year. And it goes up from there given the circumstances.

    If Kansas treated either of their last two games against us seriously, they would have been playing in Kansas City for the Sweet 16 and their season would have looked a lot different.

    It is clear now that RT isn't inheriting much from this year and will basically be building from scratch. How many wins next year will be a success for RT? If he builds a team that makes the tourney? Makes it past the first weekend? It would be nice to establish the goalpost right now when things look the bleakest. I predict that once the commits start rolling in, some people will be like "well with THIS team of course he should make the Sweet 16".

    Then again, if Askew and Ramey don't transfer - we don't get Tyrese Hunter and Jabari Rice. No Hunter and Rice and no Elite 8. So I guess Beard did a good job BY getting his key players to transfer. Advantage Beard.
  19. HookEm
    5-star PG you say? Lol. I guess I missed Beard convincing Askew, Courney Ramey, Tre Mitchel and Jaylon Tyson to stay. Not to mention the year before. What a terrible post.
  20. HookEm
    So you are saying someone is about to get their hands on a growing dick that is a prolific shooter? Welp, I guess that is good if you are into it.

    I was never impressed with Duncan Robinson. He seemed unathletic AF. Like... put your worst defender on him, over-play the three, and sleep easy at night. If you are just going to be a 3-point specialist, you need to at least have some other skill - ideally defense, but you could also be a great ball handler, have good court vision, be a hustle guy and grab boards... SOMETHING. Robinson was a one-trick pony and now everyone knows the trick. He shot like 32% from 3 this year.
  22. HookEm
    Yes. Do you recall who was #1 on that list? Tyler Herro by a pretty big margin if I recall. I would take Herro in an instant over Lavine. Mark my words, Lavine will never win anything significant. He is about as much of a "me first" player as there is in the NBA.

    What I meant by that is someone like Kalib Boone isn’t going to come here if he is going to come off the bench. And we aren’t going to bench Disu. And it is going to be hard to not start Ron Holland. So we definitely have room for more bodies, but it will be hard to load up with all-conference type players.

    Bullshit. If I am the only one who missed all these stupid posts claiming RT and Beard are equals then it should be super easy to find one. But they don’t exist. Because if they did I have ZERO doubt you would post a hundred of them. So until you actually post one, I’m going to keep calling bullshit on that narrative that a lot of our fanbase thinks we just swapped equals. I suppose someone here could make the process easier if they could speak up if they have that opinion. (Crickets)
