    And he'll get 5.1 next season, @Bitterwhiteguy has mentioned this as a reason it's tough to see the logistics actually working to get him here unless we not only overpay him, but pay him more than Sark

    I'll give CDC his props for getting this done without having us have to pay a buyout. I know he isn't perfect, but this is basically his year of hires that will determine his rep here and how long he's in Austin.

    There's literally been over 100 players that have entered the portal in the last 24 hours, it's wild

    I'm shocked you like Enfield when the Mobley family saved his career single handedly. He was headed towards the exact same path as Shaka until all 3 of them made their way to his campus.

    Maryland is in literally the exact same situation Texas is in. Coach who has NBA talent almost every year (Huerter, Fernando, Jaylen Smith the last few) and never goes anywhere in March. Some fans are annoyed they won a game because it's tougher to get rid of him since this was supposed to be a down year anyways. Their win against UConn this week was the first time he had beat a single digit seed. They've been to the Sweet 16 once in his 10 years, beating a 13 and a 12. So technically better than Shaka in the postseason, but mostly because it's REALLY hard to be worse.

    Will need to get acquainted with some of these names College basketball player tracker: Ranking the 35 best available transfers and high school recruits By Brian Bennett and Sam Vecenie https://theathletic.com/2469325/2021/03/23/college-basketball-player-tracker-ranking-the-35-best-available-transfers-and-high-school-recruits/?source=rss

    They absolutely do, but the success that he's had obviously overwhelms one shitty season and Shaka doesn't have any of that goodwill which is why we are where we are. They can look past winning being the end all be all for him when he normally has the talent to overwhelm teams into the 2nd weekend and beyond. I think Cal also learned a hard lesson this year on the ratio needed of upperclassmen to one and dones where he didn't have the senior leadership and steadiness this year to right the ship when the freshmen struggled.

    Bizarrely, Shaka has a bit of the Calipari rep it feels like where Cal will misuse players, almost all fall short of expectations, then they have the opportunity to turn it around in the NBA with a clean slate. Cal has been transparent about his #1 priority being getting kids into the league, the cycle continues, which is why despite an absolute embarrassment of a season there's little scrutiny on him. I'd say Shaka in general even does a better job of boosting kids stock over the course of the year compared to Cal as they get draft looks.

    He was incredibly frustrating to watch this year, I don't think I need to post his fouls/36 numbers as those who watched were aware. Does it help to have experience on the team? Absolutely. I'm not bummed to see him go though, better coaching helping is kind of the through line of every player in Shaka's tenure. I appreciate him busting his ass for this team, even if doing so put us in the penalty very quickly in a lot of cases.

    Obviously you want to get your guy but there's nothing stopping us from contacting coaches right now (besides the whole tourney going on) even with Shaka in place. You don't have to pull an Indiana where they just fire Archie Miller, publicly humiliate themselves striking out on their 1st option, and are left with seemingly bad options. This requires discretion though, which Texas has never been the best at.
  12. Teryor
    Which isn't close to as big a deal as last year. We have a very good class, but Daimion Collins would have been the one that could actually throw his weight around in these matters so long term might be better we didn't get him.
  13. Teryor
    Those are obvious names, Mark Schmidt out of Saint Bonny has impressed me, those guys are almost always in the tourney and play way above their talent level, and there's something with Boston College not hiring him despite him being a local guy that should have gotten that job. Maybe he's holding out for something better? I also really like Paul Mills out of Oral Roberts. He's coaxed a couple high level players out of a school that literally has no business having any talent there whatsoever and has a fun modern offense. I don't think we go far enough down the list for them to factor but they should get looks.

    What? The only team that consistently plays like that in the Sweet Sixteen so far is Loyola with their mini-Jokic. Basically every other team that's made it so far, the guards are the focal points of their teams.

    I think Leonard Hamilton at FSU has a fantastic formula that is very sustainable and is really appealing to recruits that want to make it to the NBA. Big, long athletic wings that can switch everything on defense and that have developable skills on offense. I am definitely on the offense 1st train of thought though, besides playing shit teams it felt like we had 5 minute stretches in literally every game going without a field goal/point. Yes, the Jay Wright who turns down offers to interview for NBA jobs because he's at his dream job, that Jay Wright is going to come to Texas?

    I think somewhere between ~20-30% fail to buy based on a couple drops I've seen. Someone has to be tracking it more concretely but the All-Star drop felt like it had the least amount of failures to buy, maybe because you had to have 3 moments just to have the chance.

    Going to keep banging this drum, dude is nails in March
  19. Teryor
    I don't know if he's a mercenary as much as clawing back through the ranks. Would he leave us for an NBA job? Probably. Would he leave us for Duke/UNC? Very good chance. Outside of that there's not a lot of upwards mobility if he came here.
  20. Teryor
    Not exactly the place for it, but that's basically what I expected on Ivey. A good chunk of the reason he's in Brooklyn right now is KD. It'll be a similar situation to Juwan Howard in that we have no idea what he'll look like as a head coach but I am confident that he'd clean up on the recruiting trail (not that we've done poorly on that end).

    We're not Indiana, they're definitely in a worse spot than us, but if we fire Shaka we better have an understanding of who we can get. Woodson's connection is as an alum and he hasn't ever coached college and Matta has obviously had his health issues. I'd hope Ivey would be our baseline but I wouldn't count on him being 100% in on moving down a level.
  23. Teryor
    Seriously, this media will call us racist strawman is stupid is fuck. The guy got 6 years, it's not a factor.
  24. Teryor
    He can't get to the basket because every team sat on his left hand and he never adjusted to having to actually go right
  25. Teryor
    Here are Indiana's next coach betting odds, I don't think Shaka comes close to the cut there, maybe the other two. Would also just say I think Altman would be a killer hire for us if we're throwing names out there since nobody has mentioned him.
