Guards make college basketball go. If you don’t have one you go home early. 
 

TJ Ford

DJ Augustine

 Cory Joseph

Avery Bradley

Daniel Gibson

Marcus Carr

Isaiah Taylor

 

Hope Miller focuses on  big time PGs 1st and combo guards 2nd as the priority over wings and bigs. It is hard for big men to dominate the college game when they are so reliant on post entry from the guards.

isaiah taylor was the man. god i loved that guy. if he’d have played for beard or barnes he’d have been an all american. yes, an all american. not 1st or even 2nd team, but he had BIG XII POY talent and potential. such a waste of talent and heart playing for that dumbass shaka. IT was the absolute perfect PG to run havoc, but nope. we had to do some brand new shit. and then on top of that you have the likes of demarcus holland and prince ibeh on the team as well and you *still* don’t run havoc?!? jesus christ shaka. every time i remember this shit i get all angry all over again. fucking loser.

top 3 FTA for Texas the past five seasons:

2025:

johnson- 4.2

shedrick- 4.0

kaluma- 3.5

 

2024:

disu- 3.4

abmas- 2.9

shedrick- 2.7

 

2023:

allen- 3.7

carr- 3.6

rice- 3.4

 

2022:

allen- 4.3

carr- 3.2

bishop- 2.4

 

2021:

sims- 3.8

jones- 3.2

ramey- 3.0

 

isiah taylor at texas:

2014- 5.8

2015- 4.2 (broke his wrist, off year)

2016- 5.9

 

that was by far the most underrated part of his game. that guy willed us to victories with his heart and his pointed desire to get to the rim and in doing so, get to the line as well. ended up shooting 82% his final two years. we haven’t had anybody even close to him in that regard since then. definition of “dog”.

So, Miller pretty much just hired his a bunch of his family as assistance, and his existing Xavier assistant coaches?

Would have hoped to see him bring in a hardcore #2 defensive coach. Cream of the crop kinda guy.  $$

shaka brought all of his assistants when he came to Texas. they led us to an 11-22 season with a tourney level roster. conversely, chris beard went and got bag men from larry brown and bill self when he got the Texas job (not to mention that he took donewald and mark adams with him to ole miss). im with you. i am not gruntled by these “hires”. there’s a reason that so many of the biggest pricks you’ve ever met win titles- they’re cutthroat. let’s hope that miller knows what he’s doing.

Taylor played under Barnes for two years and under Shaka for one. And the only assistant Shaka brought from VCU was Murrell. Cason and especially Darren Horn were well regarded. I'm not attacking you just correcting the record.  You allow your hate for Shaka to color your memory with some Foxnews level accuracy.
