Beard was offered the Arkie job, but he turned that down quickly. Same with the KST coach. Cali and a booster or 2 from Arkie are friends. KY didnt want to pay Cali the $33M to go away and there is only 1 dumbass school that might have paid that for him, but it wasn't Arkie. Thus he resigned and then went to Arkie. Will see what he does there.

Gerry probably is dialed in on the basketball program, but the Beard thing was floated and shot down by the KY Pres., BOR, and most of their big money quickly.

I'm hoping that they get Garrison because most of the other bigs have limited offense but okay defense that is out there. But at this point finding 1 or 2 bigs with Pope, PG, might be okay.

For all of those folks, either collectively or individually, to say that would be highly unusual. Do you have a link?

That will be ugly.

Guessing on the Beard thing? I'll have to find the email from one of my contractors that lives in Lexington, KY that is an alumi and knows some of their BMDs. Give me a couple of days.

Unless we dont get Pope, don't see him as an option. Could be wrong, but if Pope comes in with the ISU PG, Mack, Tre, Weaver, and having Pryor also at the 3; very limited minutes unless their is an injury.

Also, saw that Hunter is headed to Memphis.

Jordan Pope to Texas!

Now need a two bigs - a scorer and defender/rebounder

Garrison?

 

[Sunkist]

This is the best backcourt we’ve had in a long time. If guards dictate NCAA tourney success, we are setting up nicely.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Garrison?

No. Some other guy named Ricyk or some such. Texas sees him as the preferred option over Garrison, TOS says.

I think we still need Garrison as a defensive and rebounding big.

bummer
Hamilton – "Texas really loved him... they wanted him bad!"

Cal (who was very bad) was just a little better than AF last year, this doesn't make sense.
