Or I could anyways. i love RT, and he will have way longer of a leash from me than someone like shaka ever would have, especially if he does in fact land todd wright, abmas, boone, etc. i'm rooting very hard for RT to succeed here. it would be a great story, and all of us would be very happy. i'm just irked at how mouthy the pro-RT crowd was the last several weeks, only for his tenure to (for now) get off to the exact opposite start that beard's did when he essentially hand picked whoever he wanted from the transfer portal, followed by him convincing all of them to stay an extra year. that's a very special quality that Beard has that very few other coaches in the country can match, if any. RT will have his work cut out for him.

Matter of opinion. I think if we don’t hire RT and don’t bring in a top tier guy, the perception isn’t good. “Texas let’s go of the guy that took em to an E8 and had backing from KD and TJ Ford to hire ____”. If it’s Miller, maybe that checks the elite box. But you better bring in someone with a resume from a perception standpoint.

But I've yet to hear a good explanation for why Mitchell and Hunter declaring for the NBA draft while retaining their college eligibly is an indictment on the coaching staff. If they had no faith in the staff, they would declare for the draft while retaining their eligibility and entering the portal, which many players have done.
