@jayballer67 The buyout information is incorrect. Beard's buyout is currently $5 million and drops to $4 million on April 1.
Beard's buyout isn't going to be the issue for Texas since they didn't fire Shaka and have to pay a buyout for him, but annual salary might be an issue as Texas would have to pay Beard more money per year than they're paying Sarkisian.
If Beard ultimately chooses to stay in Lubbock (it is a possibility), other names to look out for are Dana Altman (Oregon), Eric Musselman (Arkansas), John Beilein, and former player and current Brooklyn Nets assistant Royal Ivey. The only thing with Royal lvey is he doesn't have college coaching experience
Chris beard Is leading candidate but there will be ever candidate that will be interviewing 4 the Texas coaching job
Redshirt sophomore Parker braun has entered the transfer portal Wouldn't be surprised if he wanted to play with his brother

Well read this from another site. - I'm not saying but just asking , makes SOME sense. Person said and makes me wonder possibly with these new Coaching openings here at Oklahoma & Texas you think either of these Schools would ever probe Rick Pitino at Iona to come be their next Coach ? - - - Just asking guys ? I know he had problems at Louisville & not saying I'd be in favor BUT I think one thing he does add is some really quality and Name to the League - -pretty decent Coach. - -He said he was perfectly happy at Iona but if he was given the opportunity to come to a major P-5 program do you think either of these schools would try and make contact - - get a read/feel of what he thinks? you think Rick would be interested - - just curious guys
Some Texas fans are putting his name out there of rick But I don't think he would go to any big 12 school cause I don't drink he wants to mess what hes doing at the school hes at now as men like you know getting players and coaching good
@RockkChalkk said in Coach Hot Seat and Players to Poach:
So he was likely to be fired I surmise. When is the last time a conference tournament champion was going to fire their head coach? Team will be getting rings - very interesting. There's no way that he was coming back

@jayballer67 said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:
Well in all Seriousness now and being totally honest - -in your opinion would would you want Walker ? - -OR Washington ?- -& don't say Washington just because it now sounds like Walker not coming here. - - Is Washington a better player ? - -Still doesn't mean he comes here by any means.
I thought we were in good shape for Walker and NOW I hear it's Michigan State probably
Kansas has a really good shot with Washington
@jayballer67 said in Coach Hot Seat and Players to Poach:
Kreuger retiring surprises me - -didn't see that coming
Most likely one of his assistant coaches will be the new coach

Ole Miss according to Slater
Was just coming by to post this.
Did you see Bossi's recent posts on the phog? Looking like TyTy could happen next week.
were not in it for him though right ? thought I saw where you messaged that we were not a factor for him - -could be wrong - -I would like Walker
Ku is Indeed in for tyty not so much for walker
@BeddieKU23 said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:
Walker will announce this weekend. Not sure when McKissic will pop but obviously Self and the staff have been in quick contact. I think these situations are not exclusive.
To me this does speak to someone in the starting 5 or rotation that won't be returning. That's just a guess right now or they feel McKissic is a good rotation 2 guard that would split minutes with Thompson (theoretically). So many possible moving parts.
Thomson is not leaving

@wissox said in Coach Hot Seat and Players to Poach:
Big ten needs a strong Indiana program. I’m always amazed when programs like it, Nebraska, Texas and Michigan football and the LA schools in both hoops and football fall on hard times. Seems like they should be able to reload no matter who’s coaching. KU is one bad hire away from the same doom. Kansas will never be a bad hire away
Kansas new ad is Darrell Stuckey
@BeddieKU23 said in 1st round know your foe Eastern Washington:
Game Tip: 12:15 Central, 1:15 Eastern, Coffee Time if your PT.
Network: TBS. Guess I'll have to look to see if I have this channel anymore. What's on TBS these days?
Mascot- Eagles. Nothing to add here other then the "EW" is embroidered in the logo. Clever.
Conference- Big Sky. Wiki says they joined in 1982.
Tournament History- EW has made the tournament twice, losing to Oklahoma St in 2004 & Georgetown in 2015 in the opening round.
Coach- Shantay Legans. Legans played at Cal & Fresno St with a Euro career before getting into coaching. Young coach, not even 40. Legans was the assistant at EW for 8 seasons before taking over. Last year Legans was COY finishing 23-8. He's 75-48 as a coach with an impressive 53-20 record in conference play in 4 seasons. His .610 win % is tied for 4th highest in school history & highest since the mid 1960's
Who they've played: Lost to Washington by 3, Lost to Arizona by 3, Lost to Oregon by 17, Lost to St Mary's by 5. Some really close games against P5 competition. 10 cancelled/postponed games as well.
Winners of 13 of their past 14 games, they finished 12-3 in conference play & won their Conference Tourney by 10 over Montana State.
Kenpom: For the analytics peeps- #110 overall, #86 offense, #152 Defense. As a #14 seed they were the 3rd worse behind Morehead St (#128) who plays West Virginia. Colgate #84 (Top 50 offense) & Abilene Christian (Top 30 defense). #14 seeds only have 21 victories in Tournament History. They are #28 in Tempo which means they like to get up and down and take shots.
Team Statistics:
Avg 78 ppg as a team (41st best in country)
Opponents score 69.4 ppg (193rd in country).
Average shooting team- 46% FG , 35% 3PT, but great here 78% FT (#10 in country).
Poor Offensive Rebounding team (#315), assists (#61), poor in steals (#312), blocks (#208), low turnover rate (#61), fouls per game (#197).
Players: Leading scorer Tanner Graves won Big Sky POY & Kim Aiken was Defensive POY. Tyler Robertson was also Top Reserve of the Year.
Player Stats- 5 guys average double figures.
Tanner Groves, leading scorer at 6'9, has a big beard with a headband (I laughed watching highlights). Tanner averages 16ppg & 8 boards. 55% FG, 32% 3PT on 17 makes on the year.
Kim Aiken 6'7- 11.7 ppg, 8.5 boards, 45% FG, 31% 3PT, 34 made 3's (tied with Robertson for most made 3's on team)
Tyler Robertson 6'6- 11 ppg, 46% FG, 37% 3PT.
Michael Meadows 6'2- 10ppg, 46% FG, 37% 3PT.
Jacob Davison 6'4- 10ppg, 38% FG, 36% 3PT.
Jacob Groves 6'7- 8ppg, 53% FG, 30% 3PT. Brother of Tanner.
Jack Perry 6'2 4ppg, 50% FG, 50% 3PT. Primary ball handler.
Style of Play:
Watching their championship game High Ball Screen action with Graves (one set) or Aiken for a 2 big HBS action (another set). The two big set seems to be all about getting Meadows an open side from the wing or setting up a backdoor. Perry is the primary ballhandler but Meadows will also run the show as well. Tanner can beat you off the dribble at 6'9 so if Dave is guarding him from the perimeter that's a tough matchup. Meadows seems to have some craftiness/slashing 6-10 feet ability as he's got above average athleticism for his size & quickness and can rise up. They pass it well, seem to be a team with good chemistry. Montana St is really bad which makes them look better. EW was up almost 20 at half. Groves is relentless trying to establish post position. I can see Dave in foul trouble battling him just the way he plays with a high motor. I think Self may have to use Garrett on him at times although Groves has significant weight advantage. The other Groves brother is skilled, can score off the bounce and from 3 and looks bigger then his 6'7 listed height. Robertson doesn't look like much, thick wing body. Montana St made a game of it in the 2nd half but foul calls and a T seemed to end that run.
Interesting game. KU should win if we have Dave available. Hard to say much more at this point until we know for sure
He will be able to play
@nwhawkfan said in Selection Sunday:
The only other time KU played Eastern Washingto
n was the 2007-08 season.Gee, I wonder how that year turned out for us ?ku win 85 to 47 that year
Saturday's game with Eastern Washington will be on TBS at 12:15 Central Time
@BeddieKU23 said in Selection Sunday:
All signs point to KU being a #3 seed. Hopefully we get good matchups and more importantly fingers crossed our players will be able to play. I've been on the edge of my seat for 2 days now waiting for positive and bad news.
Yep it's looking that way that we will be a 3 seed

@Marco said in Big-12 Tourney:
The hatches have been battened down as far as info goes, wisely... I'm now betting ($) that we play in the tournament.
Ya I would of thought we would of heard SOMETHING anything by now. A team only has till 11:00 tonight to inform the NCAA whether they think they can play or not
Ku is good to go to play Wise
@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Big-12 Tourney:
Do we know the 3 who aren't going to Indianapolis? Is it Dave, Tristan, and Jalen?
Dave and Tristan will be there in a few days actor the team jalen is out
@jayballer67 said in Big-12 Tourney:
So the way I'm grasping this at this point and what we know or pretty much seems the case is - - That Jalen is the one with the COVID, which IF that is truly the case then means IF we do indeed make the tourney , we would be without Jalen this opening weekend right ?
Then Coach Self is saying that David McCormack and Tristan Enaruna will not go to Indy with the team on Monday , which in turn if they are just in protocol/meaning not necessarily they tested positive but more likely contact tracing -so if that's the case and they would test negative would then fly up to Indy later in the week right ? to join the rest of the team right ?
Yes that would be right
@Marco said in Big-12 Tourney:
@jayballer67 Our chances to participate in the NCAA tournament don't look too good.
No ever sports analysts have said ku chances don't look good for the big 12 tournament
@approxinfinity said in Rumors:
@JAYHAWKFAN214 nice! Link? Hope he is ok
Look on the page down from this page in big 12 tournament I posted a link about KU still being in the NCAA's tournament
Wilson is the one that is sick and Kansas is still likely to be in the NCAA tournament
@jayballer67 said in Big-12 Tourney:
Coach Self said that MCCormack & Enaruna WOULD NOT be making the trip to Indy Monday with the team due to COVID-19 protocol - - Makes me wonder if they will fly up to Indy later in the week or are they just out period ?
Yes They will be there later in the week
Jon rotation @jon rotation 9m
Source the NCAA tournament selection committee went through the bracket today and introduced both Kansas and Virginia without hesitation. Plans are moving forward for both to be playing next week
@BeddieKU23 said in Big-12 Tourney:
So Jalen is out the first weekend. Every single season somebody key is out
Likely but McCormick and the other one will be back
@jayballer67 said in Big-12 Tourney:
@DanR said in Big-12 Tourney:
OK, now Self says there were three positives, including Tristan and Dave (who up until now, I'd thought were isolated due to contact tracing, but maybe I missed something)
did Coach SElf say McCormack and Tristan were positive ?
Basely the the was McCormick and Tristan and likely Wilson
@drgnslayr said in Big-12 Tourney:
The bright side is we don't have to take another pounding from Texas. There... I said it.
Is this real? Self always hated this tourney anyways and wanted to rest his players for the big dance.
No I wouldn't say Bill self hates the Big 12 tournament
