    It's definitely preference. Beard has said multiple times his coaching style/philosophy is heavily influenced by Bobby Knight. Knight played really slow, ran a very similar motion offense, and was a defensive minded coach. I think this style of play keeps games close which can lead to upsets in the regular season but it also tends to work very well in the tournament.

    Most recruits/players want money. So that PR spin will only help us. So thanks I guess.

    Chris Beard gave Brian Davis shit yesterday. He's already annoyed with him.

    It would be nice to hit on a couple WRs but I think having a legit WR2 option will go a long way. Sark doesn't really like to spread the ball around. If he has two legit WRs he's going to get them the ball.

    There are some good WR options. Need to hit on at least 1.

    Bart Torvik has Texas at #10. For anyone interested, the team pages are nice. https://barttorvik.com/team.php?team=Texas&year=2022 1) The advanced stats really dislike Carr and Tyson. Regardless of what happens with Carr, if he doesn't show improvement soon his USG % and minutes need to be cut. 2) The defense is already legit and that's being very bad from a rebounding perspective. If this team can just become a top 100 rebounding team with Disu the defensive stats should be insane. 3) The biggest issue on offense is 3 point shooting (which Beard said yesterday). The FT% (43rd) and 2P% (29th) isn't bad at all. I think Jones and Febres have been getting decent looks too. 4) Disu is really going to help on the defensive boards. 34.3 defensive rebounding percentage and the next highest on the roster is Bishop at 20.6%.

    Yeah, Norvell was probably the only decent hire out of the group.

    Texas has really done a terrible job of hiring WR coaches. This seems like the first legit hire we've made at WR in a decade. Wyatt, Koenning, Norvell, Charlie Williams, Mehringer, Coleman. Who am I missing recently? Lord that's awful when you look back at it.

    This SEC rant thread is great where they call out aggys on their bullshit. It's one thing to cancel 3 or 4 days before a bowl game but aggy had plenty of time to get guys back even if Covid was an issue. https://www.secrant.com/rant/sec-football/why-again-did-aandm-cancel-like-2-weeks-ago/100500614/

    Texas will lose like 3/4 their roster. They need numbers regardless of Arterio.

    I don't think Beard is going to change his system to make a couple players happy. Reality is, this is just how Beard likes to play. His Elite 8 team at Tech finished 223rd in possessions per game and his national championship team at Tech finished 258th in possessions per game. Texas is playing slower than those teams but I bet by the end of the year they finish around the same amount of possessions per game as those Tech teams. This is who Beard is and why Texas hired him. I don't want to see him running a completely different system as his success at Tech was based on teams that played very slow offensively and were always near the top in defense. It's like Shaka's success being built on havoc and then coming here to run an entirely different system. No thanks.

    This is very informative on how Beard evaluates offense and he's not wrong in terms of points vs efficiency. You can still have a good offense in this slow/ugly system (see Virginia over the years). You can tell Beard is annoyed with the questions about the offense simply because people evaluate offense based on points.

    Thing is Carr hasn't really regressed. He's simply taking fewer shots and being forced to play in a system that wins. He was an inefficient scorer at his last two schools which is why none of his teams made the tournament.

    I would much rather lose Carr than Askew at this point. Carr has not proven to be a better player than Askew and the advanced stats would actually tell you that Askew > Carr. Plus, Askew would be a multiple year player here with more upside. Beard was known to be ruthless at Tech with roster decisions/how he handled players so it really makes you wonder when the two players that are at the bottom of the advanced stats (Tyson and Carr) might be looking to move on. I get the idea Beard is not about that country club life. When you have a roster of 10 to 12 capable players Beard is not going to hold your hand when he already has to make tough roster decisions in terms of minutes.

    I don't see Mack working there even with the improved recruiting. Going 21-17 the last 3 years with Howell as the QB takes some major fuck ups.
  19. texasstrong12
    Rank these people in order from best to worst: Bitterwhiteguy, Ian Boyd, Wescott Eberts, Chip Brown and Ketchum.

    Florida is going to be a problem on the recruiting trail. That staff can recruit and they have some bagman types too. They're already gonna try to buy Mathews and Perkins this cycle.

    This is going to shock you but a Stacy Searels offensive line is god awful in pass pro.
  22. texasstrong12
    Bateman. UNC's defense has been trash for years now. I'm not sure how he hasn't been fired yet.
  23. texasstrong12
    He is. We are all just wishcasting for Addison.
  24. texasstrong12
    It was already obvious before this game but Mack has to fire his DC.

    Isn't Tray Allen at Duncanville now?
