Yeah, I believe Baylor was Terry's first college job out of the high school ranks. He was the head coach for some small town high school in Texas and then took them to state. I dont remember where exactly. Richard Johnson Jr (Tre's Dad) only played at Baylor for 1 or 2 years though, so I'm not sure how big his father's alma mater aspect may play in Tre's recruitment.

I think he took Somerville to State, then went over to his alma mater at Angleton for a stint before getting into college. I don't think he did very well at Angleton, but I could be wrong.

Few points away from the Final Four hardly qualifies as Dark Horse.  Don't get me wrong, I was sweating our roster overhaul between transfers, eligibility/graduation, and the Draft.  But Terry & staff rebuilt brilliantly.  We're certainly flush with new faces, but plenty of talent and enough returning firepower...I wouldn't call us a Dark Horse.  I mean, I don't see this as a Final Four team as soundly as I did last season, we've got some unknowns.  But yeah, "Dark Horse" is like, "Despite their 2nd round elimination and losing four players to the draft, look for the Longhorns to make some noise in a vulnerably weak league this season and go deep into the Big Dance."

You're right, he just dipped into the copywriters database for 4 cliche category names and one happened to be "Dark Horse" so he put that one "last."  And that's fine, we've got a lot of work to do with our new guy cohesion and a tough league again, but we're not exactly "sneaking up" on anybody.  Especially since we have 5-6 games in the regular/conf. tourney season with his short list of teams.  I think somebody may be onto the fact that we play basketball here at UT-Austin.

Well, the real season doesn't start until November 19th when we go to MSG for that two day event. If we need Disu before that then we have much bigger issues.

Texas only plays 1 tough opponent the first month of the season. 

Incarnate Word

Delaware State 

Rice

Louisville (neutral court)

UCONN or Indiana (neutral court)

Wyoming

Texas State

If Texas can't go 6-1 during that stretch without Disu, they have much bigger problems. Not saying Disu will miss that many games of course.

While UCONN has some serious size, Marquette isn't that brute inside.  And that's assuming UCONN beats IU.  But yeah, all in all, we're not facing too many brutal inside-out opponents before Big XII season.  I know it's early to pontificate, but 11-2 in non-conf. is the baseline expectation.  That's not pie-in-the-sky Aggie logic of "Oh, we'll get revenge on this team and tough it out versus this team."  No, it's on the road losses to UCONN and/or Marquette are acceptable, if not expected.  Those are fantastic teams this season.  And one's got a big size advantage over us.  And maybe we steal one, certainly not out of the question given our better shooting roster this year.  But this is not a "win one we shouldn't, lose one we shouldn't."  There isn't a team on our non-conf. slate, and that includes Louisville and LSU, that should be within 15 points of us.  Period.  Full stop.  11-2 bare minimum.  Anything less is abject failure given this slate.  12-1 is certainly a possibility.  Disu is a big question mark in the difference between 10-3 and 12-1, but not the whole picture.  11-2 Longhorns, 11-2.  And then the fun begins.

There were several people here (myself included) who were quite sure Weaver was going to have more production than Morris this year.
We lucked out getting him out of this program.

Morris? Or Beard?

I don’t remember Beard taking a lot of heat on that from UT fans at the time.

Nope. You're right. Everyone ignored it at the time.

I'm just saying that in retrospect we know that it was an abuser going easy on a fellow abuser

I think he got some heat but nobody wanted to fire him. Hell some wanted to keep him after the fiancée incident.  
 

 

but anyways “er mah God.  What a shit show. Rodney Terry can’t even keep a rapist from a rival”

Yep. Derka and some others were all chirping at the start of the offseason that losing Morris was a sign that RT sucked and last year was a fluke 

Instead we will have the players who replaced him on the court as opposed to in the courtroom

As THE BIGGEST FAN EVER OF TEXAS BASKETBALL AND SOMEONE WHO LOVES RT I can see the writing on the wall. Too bad you guys are suckers falling for RTs nice guy act (did I mention that I love RT?!?!?!?)

Please let sleeping dogs lie.  Dude hasn't posted in here in months, and you are doing all you can to pull him out of his slumber.  If you need more schadenfreude in your life maybe spend more time on the aggie screenshot thread in the recruiting forum.  There's no need to constantly antagonize one of our own, especially when he hasn't been actively doing anything to deserve it.  

Also, while I love positive R.T. news as much as anyone, he has coached zero games since being hired as the head coach.  Maybe let's let him coach some actual games with his team before celebrating his tenure here.  Don't spike the ball before you get across the goal line.

The guy has been gone from the board for a few months and you still talk about him.

Move on with your life, no one fucking cares what you think about him.

We tend to be on the same side of this argument, and you are making my point for me.  No need to crow about R.T. yet, same as there is no need to treat him as a presumed failure.  I'm cautiously optimistic, but that's how I roll about most things.

Did Rodney get Lasik or something?  Sometimes he's got the two extra eyes and sometimes he doesn't.
I had fantastic eyes until I hit my early 40's and then it all went to shit overnight.
