Kingston Flemings committed to U of H yesterday. Not surprising, but damn.

Gerry said a few weeks ago after Clark committed that Texas and Kingston was never going to happen and it was a mutual decision.

RT didn't offer?

I’m obviously not up to speed - what is the correlation between a big guy committing and a point guard recruit not happening, or are the two unrelated?

Probably just saying that Gerry mentioned the two separate events in the same discussion.  Unrelated to one another.

So, when RT gets fired this will pick up? I don’t follow bball recruiting that closely but I do know that our team sucks and probably won’t win a game in January.  

I mean, yeah, we're not good, but we won't a single game? Jesus that's grim.

Im trying to find all the posts where yall were applauding all of the Indiana state players. Wow how those were a miss. Color me surprised that you take two from a nit roster and they turn us into a nit team.

It's Rodney Terry Texas Basketball against the #2 team in the country. The mediocrity runs deep.

This all felt very inevitable the day Chris Beard was arrested for domestic assault and Rodney Terry was made the interim coach. I made a post at the time that the team and staff he inherited was built for a deep NCAA run, but if they accomplish that, we'll be stuck with Terry as the permanent head coach and we'll have to start over in 3 to 4 years. That went over like a lead balloon, and rightfully so. But it's still certainly how I saw it, and it's exactly what has come to pass. 

We traded an Elite Eight run - of which we don't have exactly a plethora of - for at least two more years of disappointment. 3 if somehow Terry is able to pull a miraculous run to the Sweet 16, which I don't actually think there's any chance of. But if he slides into the tournament, will that be enough? 

The rest of the intervening time has been playing out the string. 

We'll see who Del Conte goes after next. Chris Beard was a home run hire if it weren't for the domestic assault arrest. Terry's problem is that he doesn't know how to construct a roster. In this day and age of NIL/portal, that's the chief metric. I mean, he has plenty of other issues, too, but that's the fundamental problem. People talk about the fact he's a good recruiter, but recruiting has not been an issue for Texas basketball under several head coaches. Even Wetlich could bring in talent.

Wow man you're a fucking genius. Is this what y'all do in the $9.95 thread? Various "I told you so" routines? SMU is hiring for AD - go throw your name in the ring.

I'm trying to find where you posted once about Texas basketball in the relevant threads this season. 

Man y'all really love sucking your own dicks in here don't you.

Well, one thing for certain. SMU isn't hiring Chris Del Conte. There was a stupid discussion started, whoever that was.

You can't blame people for working out ways to be excited about a new coach or recruit, even one we were kind of forced to hire. It's new, it's novel, and it feels a lot better than just giving up before the games are played. Eternal optimism is what makes sports fandom fun. (Well, that and actually winning games).

This is such a perfect reply to an unhinged, insulting comment. Bravo.

That shit grows old fast and the only thing that matters is w/l. CDC caved to the media pressure and took the interim tag off Terry, which is a mistake that many gm/ad have made. I’m trying to remember the last time that an interim made good and went on to lasting success on their own accord and not riding the success and motivation by the removal of the old regime.

No.  It wouldn't be the first time CDC canned someone and/or forced them to take another job, despite making the tournament.  That is the bare minimum expectation at Texas.  CDC expects his programs to be in the second or third weekend, not barely making it as an 11 seed and getting dog walked in the first round.

There is no excitement around the program - none.  Vic's teams have had more demand than RT's game against #1/2 Alabama.

CDC's 3 biggest mistakes so far:

1. Removing interim tag from RT and promoting to full time HC

2. Tom Herman vote of confidence press release

3. "LEVERAGE" NIL program

 

Outside of those 3 things, he's been lights out.
