  1. Frankly, the most exciting thing about getting Beard to me is the absolute meltdown we'd be able to witness.
  2. This has me a bit worried since in theory we should be going after similar candidates and I'm sure they made runs at some candidates on our list. Maybe they don't have as much money to offer after the 10 mil buyout, maybe the Texas job is a bit more appealing because of pressure, new facilities, money, and location like some such as Sam Vecenie have posited. Once Texas opened up maybe Beard told them no, knowing he had a more preferred option to leave for. Comparing Woodson to Howard's situations feels kinda silly given context. It'd be interesting if poaching a former alumni from an NBA staff truly becomes a trend should we choose Ivey.
  3. He wouldn't contribute in a major way because he literally averaged over 11 fouls per 40 minutes this year, or maybe that is contributing in a major way
  4. For reference, when I say there are hundreds of players available, I mean it
  5. Our roster is already fairly gutted, have the hire by next week, try and keep the class together as much as possible, maybe you're able to bring a guy back out of the transfer portal, and grab a few of the literally hundreds of players that are in the transfer portal.
  6. Ah forgot about Smith. It's not that he can't stay healthy, he had an undiagnosed allergy to cinnamon or poppyseeds or something that just wrecked his career.
  7. Beard's only put two guys in the NBA off the top of my head, and Ramsey who was the one one and done last year, went a lot lower than expected
  8. An old friend emerges! Wonder what he's hoping for since he wasn't lacking PT
  9. Considered a rising star in the NBA coaching ranks, all former UT NBA players love him and vouch for him. As has been mentioned many times, this would be the only college job he'd consider similar to Juwan Howard at Michigan. We have absolutely nothing to go off of given he's an assistant but it's reasonable to expect he'd be a plus recruiter and he's been around good coaches to learn under like Donovan and the overall staff in Brooklyn.
  10. Here's a guide for people who are new to the coaching search: Will our new coach leave an NBA job for us? No Will our new coach leave a college job they've been at for 20+ years/won a championship with/have turned down NBA interviews during this time? No Will our new coach be the guy with the 53 million dollar buyout? No
  11. Ya Indiana would have to pay a buyout that's 2 mil less...but they also just paid 10-11 mil to get off of Archie
  12. Guy has already been called out as trash in the past week, we don't need squids this coaching search too
  13. Chris Beard is a damn good coach who plays a brand of basketball that sucks ass to watch, but will win games. I am sure he'll have a lot of success if we hire him, but it'll be frustrating watching the type of game he wants played 30+ times a year instead of just a few.
  14. 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
  15. 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.
  16. There's literally been over 100 players that have entered the portal in the last 24 hours, it's wild
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
