  1. Brock is only a redshirt junior and personally I'd rather have AJ1 return for his 7th season than Carr.
  2. Maybe I'm stubborn, but I don't know why yall want Carr taking the ball out of Arterio Morris hands next season. Carr was a gamer and I'll give him credit for showing up in big moments this year, but man I can do without seeing him back next year. Give me a bigger and more dynamic backcourt mate to team up with Morris.
  3. I wonder if the Texas kid who went to Kentucky with Jai Lucas last year wants to come home. I don't think he played much. Hopefully Oscar Tshiebwe returns to school to help push him out. He's the exact sort of big who fits Beard's mold, plus he's bouncy and athletic which fits mine. Can't remember his name.
  4. I'll bring that discussion over to this thread (don't know how we devolved into the roster composition discussion on the Point and Laugh thread) in today's high school basketball there are plenty of 6'7" to 6'9" guys who fit the mold of what he's looking for, particularly in Texas. Beard's urgency to win now makes him less patient and seemingly unwilling to project young bigs. Jericho Simms was only 6'7" and around 190 when Smart began recruiting him. He looked more like Dillon Mitchell back then than what he ultimately became, which hopefully means good things for us with Mitchell. Even a Jaxon Hayes fits the mold of a switchable big on the college level. You have to be willing to look for traits and even risk going after a lower level recruit and project out a little as long they fit your specified physical requirements. Jaxson Hayes and Kai Jones were both outside the top 100 (outside the top 200 in Hayes case) when they caught the previous staff's eye. Beard tends to go after college transfers for his bigs rather than risking a scholi on a young, bouncy big who is yet to physically mature. Regardless I really like that Beard goes after rangy, athletic guards and wings, so much like the tradeoff we get with his tightly controlled, boring ass offense I'll gladly take athletic wings over bouncy bigs who shoot 50% from the FT line while taking the overwhelming majority of our FT attempts. Plus Beard got us back into the DFW metroplex recruiting market which was something that we've missed over the last 10 to 15 years. Even Barnes struggled to recruit DFW in his last 5 to 8 years outside of a few one off gets like Myles Turner. To high light how important DFW is for basketball recruiting, Texas has 5 McDonald's All-American's this year and every single one of them is from the metroplex.
  5. I hear you, but in today's day and age of high school basketball there are plenty of 6'7" to 6'9" guys who fit the mold of what he's looking for. The problem with Beard is he doesn't seem to have a good eye for projecting young Bigs. Jericho Simms was only 6'7" and around 190 when Smart began recruiting him. He looked more like Dillon Mitchell back then than what he ultimately became, which hopefully means good things for us with Mitchell. Even a Jaxon Hayes fits the mold of a switchable big on the college level. Beard tends to go after college transfers for his bigs rather than risking a scholi on a young, bouncy big who is yet to physically mature. He seems impatient in that area. Regardless I really like that Beard goes after rangy, athletic guards and wings so much like the tradeoff we get with his tightly controlled, boring ass offense I'll gladly take athletic wings over bouncy bigs who shoot 50% from the FT line while taking the overwhelming majority of our FT attempts.
  6. I know no staff is going to put more effort into recruiting than his, but the jury is still out on whether he can recruit elite front court players. That being said I've always envied Beard's consistent ability to recruit big and athletic guards/wings so if I'm choosing between the 2 I prefer Beard's area of recruiting expertise. Regardless when perusing over his recruiting history outside of Tariq Owens (transfer) Beard hasn't recruited a big I'd want over what we've had, certainly not out of high school.
  7. Yep just like they didn't want Robert Quinn because of things behind the scenes or DeMarcus Ware, or Byron Jones, or any number of players they've pulled "reasons" out their collective asses to justify letting go of players, because of reasons. I can't remember the site but there was an article that came out prior to Dak being franchised the first go around that basically said that the Cowboys had the least amount of cash paid in outgoing salaries over that 3 to 4 years. In other words Stephen runs a cheap ship.
  8. Ladies and gentlemen I present to you the Dallas Cowboys 2022 2nd round draft pick.
  9. Texas Ex and McCombs graduate David Mulugheta.
  10. I guess those raw cream pies spewed into the air got him an extra $50M. God bless America!!
  11. I believe Barnes hired him during his last 2 or 3 seasons in Austin. You might be onto something.
  12. Man I feel for Marquette fans. So excited about being in the tournament for the first time in years and before you can even get your beverage and sandwich together you're down 29 to 12 and now 42 to 21 in the first half. Well, at least some Milwaukee area contractors will get some work heading their way for the upcoming week fixing all the holes punched in the drywall over the last 20 minutes.
  13. Yep he's cheap as hell. He's not the one who made the money so he's not preternaturally inclined to endure the risk taking associated with attaining that level wealth. Im sure there have been studies on the 2nd generation rich and how they're more psychologically predisposed to being much more conservative and doing things to preserve the money rather than following the same patterns their fathers sought to build their wealth.
  14. Yeah this was mentioned within the in seasonp thread. In fact this pic incorporates the Campo years so we're even higher on the total wins list if you start from the season Parcells tookover. We were like 8th or 9th and like the only team within the top 20 to not even appear in the conference championship game much less the Super Bowl.
  15. They signed OJ Howard for a 1yr deal that maxes out at $5 million. @Patrick Bateman I haven't kept up with Howard much throughout his career. I know that he hasn't lived up to expectations, but what's the scouting word on him. Can he actually block?
  16. Are you kidding me? He's the only thing who's consistently been worth a damn on the defense over the last 5 years. He had over 30 million left on his contract and just watched a teammate who he's leaps and bounds better than get 70+ million on the open market yet still wanted to stay to work things out with the Cowboys only for Cap boy to sit back and offer him Dalton Schultz money. Get all the way the fuck out of here with his attitude is shit nonsense. You guys with your default hate and envy for every professional athlete you come across is weird to me.
  17. If it were left up to Tommy Boy we would've lost both of our DEs.
