There are no one and done guys at UT.

Shaka did not have one and done guys at VCU. 

They should get better. 

Jarrett Allen could be a one and done.  He was the top Big in his class.  Andrew needs more time to develop.  Jacob is likely a 4 year guy.

Shaka struggling to find some chemistry with this group.  In desperate need of a Pg.  Playing 2s at 1 isn't working well.  Matt Coleman from Oak Hill would be an absolute game changer for the Horns.  Let's hope the crystal ball is correct...

They are just young.  Shaka needs more time.  

Your schtick is either tired or ignorant.  I don't know one Aggie who actually knows and understands the game (and I know they are few and far between) that wouldn't trade Kennedy for Shaka in a heartbeat.  And I like Kennedy and think he's done a great job in aggieland.  But stop with the Charlie comparisons.  It just sounds dumb.  Unless that's the Aggie stereotype you're trying to perpetuate.  In which case fire away!

It's more of a shot a Texas fans that claim every coach they hire is the greatest ever. We've seen it multiple times over the last few years in every sport yet y'all keep gloating at how great you are.

 

South Dakota, George Mason, Northeastern, Wright St, & Oregon St. have all beaten the Kent State team that Shaka lost to tonight.  Big 12 conference play should be fun starting on Friday.  7 of the 10 conference teams currently have records of 10-2 or better.  Shaka hasn't lived up to expectations so far at Texas.  Just be a man and admit it.

This post shows a glaring lack of understanding for the game which couldn't surprise me less.  If you don't know Shaka Smart is a great coach, I suggest picking a sport that moves a little slower to try and comprehend.  Picking a 12 game sample size where your two best players are 18 or 19 years old in your second season is small-minded at best.  Just be a man and admit you don't know your behind from your elbow when it comes to hoops.  It really is the first step.

This is his 2nd season, no?  I thought he coached that 1st round exit last year, but I guess I'm wrong. 

This is college basketball!  Everyone's best players are 18-19 yrs old.  The youth argument is a joke.

He coached another man's team that consistently improved over the course of the season.  He lost in the first round on a half court prayer to a team that unfortunately didn't puke up a double digit lead like they did the next round.  He brought in two McD All Americans this year but did not land a PG.  Hopefully that will change with Coleman.  Every coach said it would be a struggle early this year with the makeup of the team.  It happens.  

But for you to imply he wasn't a great hire is laughable to anyone with more than a rudimentary knowledge of the game.  He won the CBI in his first year at VCU as one of the youngest coaches in the country.  He proceeded to guide them into the NCAAs each year after that, including a final four appearance in a year they had to play in one of the "play in" games. 

Shaka, despite the first 12 games of this year, is a great coach.  Again, for you to argue otherwise just embodies what most come to expect from aggyland when it comes to hoops.  A complete bewilderment.

Maybe you can also enlighten us on how Kryzewski and Dean Smith were bad hires until they started winning.  After all, each had exactly one season with a winning record in their first three seasons at Duke and UNC, respectively.  You can form your arguments on those wins and losses over those seasons.  After all, it's your best bet when you are unable to discern what you're watching.  

Here's a hint though:  when you are among the elitest of recruiters and are a top Xs and Os guy, you are what we call a "home run hire."  But keep making the goofy remarks and implying he's not.  But stick around for a few years.  I will be here to tell you over and over and over "I told you so."  Kind of like the week or so you had fun with "zero chance."  But keep touching that stove, Bart.  Gives me something to look forward to

Youth is a joke ONLY when you talk about Kentucky, etc.. UT has one player with a legitimate shot at One and Done. The rest are "young".

Texas with a nice win over 10-3 okie lite.  Much needed for their confidence.

Okie Lt has lost 6 straight and is in last place in the Big 12.  Texas is 1-5 and in 9th place out of 10 teams, with their only conference win against 0-6 Okie Lt.

 

A&M is terrible too if that makes it any better.
