Sean Miller will probably do very well at Texas

[megablue]

Only three (3) years older than Mark Pope, I believe Texas just signed an outstanding coach who will do very well in this new NIL$$$ - Portal landscape. He will provide formidable competition to all of the teams in the league and I will be surprised if Texas does not move up in overall status in the SEC.

He is just poor man's version of cal

Recruit well with mediocre coaching...

Do not think Texas will go far under sean miller

Remember that Ayton's team was embarrassed by buffalo in first round, and uk then crushed buffalo in next round...

I'm not a Texas fan, of course, but I think they made an excellent hire. I'll stand by that. Remember: Texas ain't poor ...

Arizona said the same thing years ago.

He was tremendous during his first eight (8) years there, but he definitely fell off his last three (3) years ... NO QUESTION !!

Sounds vaguely familiar

Yes. It sure does. Seems like eight (8) - ten (10) years in the top programs is a breaking point. No question about it !!

I like how everybody has money now, and it's just assumed that they're all willing to spend it on basketball.

Meanwhile, Kentucky is just a poor state that can't afford anybody. 🤷

He won't. Nobody can really succeed at Texas anymore.

I agree. Miller learned from his mistakes at AZ and should do very well at TX where the recruiting terrain is quite favorable and money is bottomless.

That is a great group of coaches.

Only one team in the conference needs a coaching change now, LSU.

I think Gates and Paris are actually good coaches. Miller will be good at Texas.

I totally agree ... the coaches in the SEC are pretty ridiculous.
The conference has committed itself to basketball, in addition to football.
Todd Golden (only 39) has the potential to be pretty special ... we'll see.

Kentucky certainly has money, no question, but we're not up there with those with incredibly deep pockets.
Commitment to basketball, as you suggest, is the real question ... good point !!

I think Texas is a sleeping giant. The Right coach could kill there.. just don't know if it's Miller.

Exactly. Miller might never win a national title but he will make Texas way better than they were. Thats for sure.

He’s an upgrade over Terry for sure.
