Whoever ends up being the coach, I just hope they convince Weaver to stay in Austin.

Along with, you know, actually being a consistent tournament contender.

yeah i’m really hopeful (and optimistic) that weaver is set to return. i want to see him creating havoc in what should be a much more up-and-down style of play.

I love Weaver.  I also think keeping Pope, Pryor, Codie and Vinson are solid depth if they are all fired up to stay and improve.  Then get a decent Freshman or two, and hit the portal hard for some guys that should be in the mix to start.

So, optimistically with next years class designation

G - Kendall Weaver (Sr.)
G - Jordan Pope (Sr.)
F - Devon Pryor (Jr.)
G - Nic Codie (Soph?)
F - Jamie Vinson (Soph?)
G - Malik Presley (Jr?)

PF - John Clark - Signed 4 Star

Xavier's potential transfers (no clue on how likely)

G - Dailyn Swaine (Jr.)
G - Ryan Conwell (Sr.)

Xavier commits

PG - Nyk Lewis - Signed 4 Star
SG - Jayden Forsythe - Signed 3 Star

Maybe some other Texas recruiting that I'm not tapped into as I stopped paying attention for the last 2 years.

I'm excited about what Miller can do. 

I don't think as highly of him as I did Beard, but he's a better offensive coach than Beard, he's a really good recruiter, he'll bring players from overseas, and he has some huckster in him to go out there and sell tickets, which is an underappreciated (and frankly I wish an unnecessary) part of the job. He also wanted the job badly, reaching out after Beard was fired and then this time around. 

I hope we catch lightning in a bottle, but even if we don't, he's someone who can deliver consistent second weekend tournament finishes over the rest of his career. I'd love to see him make his first Final Four at Texas. I doubt I ever completely get over the Beard debacle, but this helps me get over the Rodney Terry debacle, which IMO was always going to end one way.

I'm also extraordinarily grateful we didn't have to endure 6 years of Terry the way we did Shaka Smart. I'm also grateful for all of Terry's contributions to Texas basketball, which have not been small. He got Peter Principled through no fault of his own. I hope he socked away some of those big paychecks over the last couple of years. He's a solid assistant that would be a bonus to just about any bench in college basketball. 

Let's see what Miller comes up with for his first roster, but it's his second year I'm looking forward to even more. 

Strange we've gone from the Big 12 which was the best basketball conference in the country, to the SEC, which is now way more of a gauntlet than the Big 12 was, and the Big 12 was a meat grinder. And we now see Beard and Barnes on a regular basis. Kind of weird.

OTF has learned that Sean Miller and and at least a couple of current staff members of his have begun the recruiting process. 

We can say that their have been calls made to the agents of Jordan Pope, Chendall Weaver and Nic Codie. That doesn't mean that's all, to be clear. And that doesn't mean that the three are staying, it just means initial discussions have began. 

And Miller/staff have spoken with their signees at Xavier, and agents of Ryan Conwell and Dailyn Swain.

Follow up question to that post and Gerry's response.

I don't know shit about fuck, and he was probably about 4th or 5th on my wish list, but I feel pretty good about the direction of the program after watching his intro press conference.
