Don’t know him but those I know who do, think he’s a great guy. Weird it’s the second coach Maryland has hired from TAMU. Thought it was probably a step up with Turgeon left, not so sure anymore. Rumors swirling the new guy will be Beard. If so, I think that’s a definite improvement coaching wise. In fact, imo (for what that’s worth), he’s one of the very best in the country. Quote

bullets13 Posted April 3 Report Posted April 3 9 minutes ago, AggiesAreWe said: Why? 1. Don’t like the idea of an ex-horn going to their biggest rival. 2. as @TxHoops said, he’s one of the best coaches in the country, giving them a better chance to beat the horns. TxHoops 1 Quote

Just like how if Beard went to college station he’d be embraced there, but Aggy collectively lost its mind when Texas ended up with their baseball coach. Quote

Let’s just say he didn’t get the job he was lobbying for behind the scenes, going so far as apparently calling it his “dream job.” baddog 1 Quote

TxHoops Posted April 4 Report Posted April 4 12 minutes ago, baddog said: I’m no expert, but this isn’t even a lateral move. I agree. I don’t get that move either. I think A&M is clearly the better job, although the money thing isn’t necessarily true in this case because Maryland’s top booster is Under Armour founder and CEO Kevin Plank. As a guess only, I would be pretty confident their NIL collective would be higher due to him. Plank is not only a billionaire, he’s a Maryland hoops fanatic. In other news, apparently McCasland at Tech has now told A&M no thanks. In fairness though, that got me to thinking, are the top three basketball programs in the state now U of H, followed by Baylor/Tech? Tech’s facilities may be the best in the state. They definitely were imo before UT built the Moody. Quote

I’m staying with Duke/Florida with Duke taking it. Well, I definitely like those picks. Florida was my choice going in because I couldn’t tell how good Duke was because of how down the ACC was this year. But after what Duke’s did to Alabama, especially defensively, they seem to be the team to beat for me. Quote
