Bovada has updated their odds and has Chris Beard #1.. which just will not happen. His kids are in Lubbock and he just signed a loving massive deal (4th highest paid coach in the country) and I think his buyout is like $12M right now.

From all accounts Beard loves it in Lubbock and he is treated like a God there. He should turn that into his program, like Coach K at Duke or Izzo at Michigan State.

But his kids being close, his girlfriend being in Lubbock, and him being a top 10 paid coach already make it unlikely. Plus, I think he already proved that you can compete for a natty at Tech with lowly recruited players, plus you can recruit top tier players to Tech, and that'd be the main reason he'd leave. OTOH, Beard has bailed on a program a couple weeks after signing a contract before so...

I agree with you, but if Michigan wants to play around they can offer more money than Tech ever could. I don't think that'll happen, but I really loving want it to. E: Jesus Christ, apparently Billy Donovan may not be contacted because this whole Al Horford saga where he decommitted promptly from Michigan and they believe he was paid too. We're gonna get Porter Moser - well being a good team was fun. Regnevelc fucked around with this message at 22:09 on May 14, 2019 |

Should have just went with Juwan Howard.

kayakyakr posted:LaVall Jordan is the new betting favorite to land the Michigan coaching spot. With a 48-55 HC record The way I've seen it described is that Michigan can either go Clean and Maybe Win, or go Dirty and Probably Win. Beilein was somehow clean and won and you're not likely to get that again. Jordan is definitely squeaky clean, but would he win? Eh. They also need to figure out if you can throw $Texas at the program, or if the Michigan Basketball program just exists to be a good Michigan showcase for the football recruits. Apparently the basketball program only nets about $10-15 million, while the Football program nets closer to $70 million.

Shaka was a pretty bad but at least understandable hire when Texas hired him, but I can't believe he'd get the Michigan job now.

Warde Manuel wanted him over Kevin Ollie at UConn until Calhoun made a poo poo fit over it. Plus he has a history with people in the program and grew up a fan apparently.

shaka can recruit and his 40 minutes of heck can work with dudes who will buy into it there are lots of places he could turn it around, i just don't think texas is one of those places (at least, not if he insists on running milquetoast offensive schemes and relying on long athletes to sort of bumble into steals instead of pressing)

Weird - I say the same thing about Shaka’s VCU run. I also dislike his defense, especially after Michigan has bombed them out of the gym every time they played it. The thing is - too bad we cannot get Charles Mathews back, because Michigan’s team last year would have ran that defense extremely well.

Well this is a reversal of fortune! https://twitter.com/BDavisAAS/status/1129129136499363849?s=19 Smart is apparently looking for a defensive specialist and likely hasn't made any contact with Michigan, so Coach Yak might be gone too

Grant Williams officially announced this morning he was staying with the draft. I knew he’d go and it’s probably the best decision for him but my heart didn’t want him to.

That sucks about Grant. I was hoping he would be back. Now I am hearing there's a chance Bone will come back? Doesn't seem like he is liking what he is hearing from teams and scouts and is projected as a 2nd round pick. I would love him back.

Bone tested really well at the combine but I'd be surprised if he doesn't come back. He has a chance to move way up next year if he excels in taking on a bigger role.

Oh yeah a few days ago Chuma pulled out of combine interviews but announced he's staying in the draft for good, seems to be on the cusp of the 1st round and he's happy with that. Jared Harper got a combine invite off his G-league event performance so he's gone too.

Mamadi Diakite seems to be leaning ever more toward returning to UVA, given that he didn't make the Combine this time around. There'll be a chance for him to assume a pretty big chunk of next year's offense, so he will have the chance to play his way into the draft. And if he doesn't make it then he can still go pick up paychecks in Europe or Australia or somewhere.

Yeah and Quentin Grimes seems to be leaning towards returning to Kansas and I'm not sure he's welcome back. I still have zero idea why he was a top ten guy.
