Sean Miller to Texas

He's a huge upgrade to Terry. He'll recruit well and win a lot of games. They'll be in the tournament every year.

He'll have plenty of NIL resources.

All that being said: He was paying players when you couldn't. He had a huge advantage. He couldn't make a Final 4 even with that advantage.
 
Smart hire and upgrade for Texas. The SEC is so stacked. It's the hottest conference in the country and richest BY FAR of all the conferences in the country.

Add another tough tough game in the brutal most competitive basketball conference in the country.

😂 Just players for now. We can play D if we just do it. I’m ready for a healthy team.
You don't think we'll make staffing changes before next season? I think the health is tied to how soft the team played, the conditioning.

Probably not. It’s their first season. Maybe a Conditioning coach then.
 
Miller left Cincy and Xavier fast as hell lol. He didn't even need a day to think about it. We need to look at their (Xavier) roster and see if anyone is UK worthy.
 
UK HAS to get the NIL on track. I know there is legislation in Frankfort to allow KY schools to pay players directly. If that hasn't become law yet...IT NEEDS TO ASAP. Tax alcohol or even tickets, whatever. We just have to be creative in how we come up with the money to compete against the likes of Texas, Alabama, Tennessee, etc. Otherwise we could quickly find basketball in the same situation as football. And that is unacceptable.
Good hire by Texas. Miller is a solid upgrade from Terry. SEC is on fire right now. Pope HAS to step things up now. This year was his mulligan. The next couple of years will tell the tale.

They couldn't even give us that slight edge for today's game against Illinois and Brad Underwood, could they? Lol.

I would not have wanted to play Xavier today. UC and Xavier fans/players labor under a Napolean complex here in the Cincy area. They would have played with their hair on fire much like tOSU did.

They had a bunch of Seniors. Fremantle would be a no doubt take if he had eligibility remaining but he does not. Ryan Conwell would be a potential take, he led Xavier in scoring, shot well from 3 and has a year remaining (played on last years really good Indiana St. team). Dailyn Swain is the other rotation player with eligibility, a sophomore - really good player but I don’t think he is a fit in Pope’s system.
