Me too. Time to turn the page.

Serious talent was coming through every year.

See Bierce’s comments. Never a more glorious time than that in Texas basketball history.

The glory days? Definitely

Nope that why I asked Gerry about it. He was doing everything he could just be included.

Well played sir. lol

Duke?

Kentucky offered more money. They are a blue-blood program. Some coaches don’t need to be the highest paid coach. They make millions, win and are happy in their communities. They have already built what they wanted at the school they are at. Gerry said he was hearing Indiana’s top choice was Drew. Otz was second, hell they were down to the Drake coach at one point. Did you see how much money the Lakers offered Hurley last year? Showing a wad of cash to a coach only works if that coach can be money whipped. Urban Meyer said no.

The point was that they went after a number of coaches that have been mentioned as possible Texas coaches. Money did not work with Drew or Otz. Drew turned Kentucky down last year. So it’s not always about all the money. The Kentucky offer was higher than what Drew made at Baylor. There have to be other factors that draw elite coaches to Texas. If opening the bank made coaches come here then let’s get Jon Scheyer, Pearl, Oats or Hurley.

You think this was Indiana’s first choice? Second? Third?

@Gerry Hamilton wasn’t Beard doing everything he could to be considered for the Indiana job?

Thanks Jeff.

Otz and Drew told them no.

Everyone does that.

That’s why the change needs to be made quickly. Of course there will be better players available as those who go deep into the tournament lose. Of course that can apply to coaching hires as well.

There are not many left in high school, that haven’t signed, and can help right away next year.

He starts everything off with what we are hearing. Who is we? All this tells me is Donovan and Synder are not coming here. And Gerry mentioned Synder a few weeks ago.

I like High Point but I am basing it of their name.

Guy needs to have a sign on. Stop calling me!

Believe LSU got there as an eleven seed.

Every year his name gets mentioned. He needs to wear a sign each time he is seen talking about the games. Do not call me.

I rarely do this. I just want to say thank you to Bierce. It takes a lot of time watching game after game to put out a detailed bubble thread like he does. He does this on every site he has been on. He does it even when Texas has no chance to get in. He does not get paid to do it. So I just wanted to say thank you for doing it.

Man that had to be uncomfortable. Even more so by who they are playing.

It was more comfortable than we thought.

Must have been uncomfortable to have CDC with the team waiting on the announcement.
