Fear the Beard

they don't TAKE transfers they take 5* 1 N DONE players. helluva difference between the 2 , but then again what can you expect from a Clown fan.
Of course they take transfers there sharp one. Both schools do it. Are you really that ignorant? They do take a number of one and dones as well, but so does Beard at Tech. How are the lady hoks doin tonight there drugginhok? Looks like the Baylor bigs are just a tad bigger than gus the mule.

better than the clown women did. just like the men who beat the clown men's team who lost in the 1st round. lil brother being lil brother.
 
he was in the elite 8 last year and the final 4 this year, plus winning the conference this year. i sure hope he can keep up with the blue bloodsEyeroll

we know 1 thing TTU cannot keep up with the blue bloods on, arrogance.
I love Beard and think he's a hell of a good coach. However, though he's had two solid seasons, that doesn't mean that he's going to be able to do it year in/out.

Greg Marshall made the FF one year, and had a very good team the following. Yet last year he got knocked out in the 1st round, and this year didn't make the tourney. He's also a very good coach. He had a few years of great success because he struck gold on a few of overlooked recruits. But lately his 3* recruits have looked more like 3* recruits. Recruiting is an inexact science. I mean hell, look at KU. This year's freshmen class had two 5* guys, a 4* guy and a 3* guy with few offers. Our two best freshmen ended up being the 4* guy and the 3* guy.

I think Beard has had success due to A) being an amazing coach, and B) batting a high % on the transfers and guys he's brought in, and them performing at a higher level than their interest level would have suggested. But this isn't guaranteed to always be the case. He'll have to improve recruiting to ensure that he can keep up this level of success on a consistent basis. And it looks like he's started to do that. If he can keep recruiting at that level, then I think he can consistently compete for a league title every year.

Why is an Iowa St fan slurping on Beard’s schlong, anyway?

You’re as bad as the B10 homers. Might as well be sporting an avatar that says “My program sucks.”Laughing

It’s basing it off past history. You’re a little more emotionally invested so I understand your stance.

Sorry I'm emotionally invested.

West Texas basketball dynasty incoming. Bobby Knight set the stage for Beard to dominate the college bball landscape for the next 2 decades. Go ahead and add Tech to any list of blue blood programs from hence forth.

Fine, fine...we’ll slot them in next to Auburn, Tennessee, and Houston.
 
Beard would probably leave for some jobs, but if the scandal thing is why Self gets forced out I don't see why he would go there

Every big school is playing the game. It's not just a handful of corrupt programs. Recruiting is a bidding war between the shoe companies. Programs that won't play the game can't compete. Every perennial top 20 program is in on it, and it's been going on for several decades. The only difference is the shoe companies are funneling cash instead of boosters. You think Ayton went to Arizona for $100K as a starting offer? Zion was at Duke for free? There's a reason Coach K is suddenly getting the players that Kentucky did 3 years ago, and it's not his 70-year-old charisma.

Duke, Kentucky, North Carolina, Michigan State, Purdue, Indiana, and almost every BCS school is doing the same thing. That's how you keep up with the joneses and keep the profits flowing.
How many players at Duke, Kentucky, North Carolina, Michigan State, Purdue and Indiana have had to sit players in the past 5 years because of issues with eligibility with the NCAA, especially where they or someone representing them are accused of receiving money. Only Kansas. There has been several at Kansas. Kansas is going down.

Like Mack at UofL? If Kansas is open Beard will go there, it may take a job like that to lure him away.

fwiw, John Wall had to sit out 2 or 3 games. too lazy to look it up...mustard up the energy. it was 2 games.

and I quote

"The school announced Friday that the 6-foot-4 freshman must sit out two games and repay almost $800 in expenses incurred during unofficial visits to schools during his junior year at Word of God Christian Academy."


...completely didn't pay attention to your 5 year cut off line.my bad.
 
for an in conference opponent? lol. and Beard is going to leave a 5 million dollar contract for a school about to get hammered with sanctions.


stay in your fantasy land.

Lol your entire post is speculation.
 
Kansas job under sanctions is not a upgrade on his current situation at texas tech.

How many schools have been hammered since the fbi investigations? Kansas hasn’t even been brought up and you think they’re getting major sanctions?

I think the NCAA wants to sweep the FBI investigations into their organization under the rug as much as the teams and coaches.

I disagree. KU will always be a better job than TT. Pitino made himself household name at UK. soiled it at UL but that's another story, but point being. KU is a destination job.

Hopefully he gets to build KU from the ground up. I'm not hoping KU gets buried, but just leveled. Winking

Yep, and he doesn't have a clue. Beard can basically have anything he wants at Tech now. IF Beard leaves at some point, I doubt very seriously it would be in conference.

Name the last coach anywhere in the country that moved within their conference. I am not aware of who that might be so I will hang up and listen.

First name the last coach who didn't move on to a bigger program after the success Beard as had at TT....
 
What facts?


dear god you are thick.

KU is under investigation. it could be nothing or it could be a big deal, nobody knows.

we can get very close to matching KU, the AD has already said the money is there to keep beard which based on his current contract and what the AD said we have something ready for him to sign after the season in the 5 million dollar range, which is what bill self currently makes. Beard also has a buyout based on his contract and it's double for in conference schools, which is around 8 or 9 million for KU.

so basically KU is going to have to pay an in conference opponent 8 million and then pay Beard 6 to 7 million a year in order to beat TTU and that's if TTU just doesn't match which we could do and have the donors to back that up.

so based on that i think it's unlikely.

now if you factor in the blue blood status, oh yeah it means nothing. especially to a guy like Beard.

No no no, you said Kansas was about to get hammered with sanctions, meaning its a foregone conclusion, you stated that was a fact, now you're saying nobody knows? Pick a stance and stick with it.
 
And yours isn’t? You tend to speak in absolutes and argue with people who are more invested in the situation (albeit more biased).

Not at all, I gave different scenarios and then gave my guess as to what will happen based on the past.
