I know, its concerning. But Beard didn't seem to have a problem bringing talent to Lubbock, Texas. Surely he can at least do as well in Austin.

I'm sure you're still possessing cat-like quickness. lol

With the staff he's put together he'll get the players. 

BTW - I'm 57 and at least as quick as a cat as old as I am.

Chris Beard wanted Mark Adams with him in Austin. The new head coach’s loyalty to Lubbock paid off.

And a transfer from Utah? Usually Longhorns are going that way, at least in FB. ?

If Jericho Sims comes back. (I hear he is slightly leaning this way but no final decision) then I think we should be good again next year!

I was just thinking about the roster this morning wondering where we stand. I’m liking the look of it so far. Still need to round it out, especially the frontcourt. Trending toward the look of a good team.

I really thought this year was going to suck due to graduation and attrition. Kudos to Beard and his staff for the work they have done thus far!

Amen. Lots of leadership on that roster.

This doesn’t include the HS kids who signed, does it?

Simms, Ramey still possible?  Is there any chance Coleman comes back?  Does he want a masters degree, lol??

No it does not.

I am hearing that Coleman and Ramey aren't likely to return. Simms is still up in the air. Would be great if Simms were to return.

Ramey not a big loss in my opinion. Too up and down, doesn’t handle the ball well, and a defensive liability. I think it’s time for Coleman to try the next level somewhere, maybe the G league or Europe somewhere. Simms back would be HUGE!

Coleman was clutch for us in several games this past season.  He would serve himself well to return to see what Beard can do with him.  I don't think his stay in any post-college league is very long.  Ramey...I agree...too unpredictable.  Simms returning would almost be like RW returning for MB...but not as impactful.  Still want him to return!

Who was it that Ramey got cross with earlier this season? Was it Coleman or Jones? Our play went down after that stuff.
