This doesn’t include the HS kids who signed, does it?

Simms, Ramey still possible?  Is there any chance Coleman comes back?  Does he want a masters degree, lol??

No it does not.

I am hearing that Coleman and Ramey aren't likely to return. Simms is still up in the air. Would be great if Simms were to return.

Ramey not a big loss in my opinion. Too up and down, doesn’t handle the ball well, and a defensive liability. I think it’s time for Coleman to try the next level somewhere, maybe the G league or Europe somewhere. Simms back would be HUGE!

Coleman was clutch for us in several games this past season.  He would serve himself well to return to see what Beard can do with him.  I don't think his stay in any post-college league is very long.  Ramey...I agree...too unpredictable.  Simms returning would almost be like RW returning for MB...but not as impactful.  Still want him to return!

Who was it that Ramey got cross with earlier this season? Was it Coleman or Jones? Our play went down after that stuff.

In Ramey’s defense, on the play in question Jones just watched the guy he was defending didn’t even move an inch to defend. Watched him go by for a lay up. Ramey may be hot headed but he plays hard. He’s probably the most Chris Beard kind of player on the team with the exception of Brock Cunningham.

Five most impactful men's college basketball transfers so far in wild offseason

 

Timmy Allen, Texas

Coach Chris Beard didn't have a ton of time to bulk up a 2021 freshman class in his first year in Austin, but the former Texas Tech coach's pedigree played a part in him making a big splash in the transfer portal. Allen was an all Pac-12 performer at Utah. The 6-6 guard averaged 17.2 points a game last season for the Utes and will be a key part of Beard's efforts to elevate the Longhorns into the national equation.

Crazy the roster may lose 75% of the players/signees. Lol

[Sirhornsalot]

I'm loving the way this roster is shaping up. If Simms stays, look out. I expect Beard to land another big, one way or the other.

Now this is a pick up I could get excited about.

From a Vanderbilt mod:

"I am expecting Texas to be the landing spot for Disu.

I am told that Disu has a "do not contact" tag in the portal, which usually means that the player has already determined a destination. Stackhouse must be apoplectic"

I just googled the definition of apoplectic.

Imo, this is the most important pick up so far.
