I think the point may be that the roster would not have fallen apart and Holland would still be in the fold if Beard had made better choices and was still the head coach.Why did the thread title change to thanks Beard? Is Holland going to Ole Miss now?
Maybe or maybe not. Kids all over the country are asking out of their obligation and going somewhere else. It's really hard to read these players minds.I think the point may be that the roster would not have fallen apart and Holland would still be in the fold if Beard had made better choices and was still the head coach.
Regardless of how you phrase Beard, he won on his own. Our new guy has not and now we have lost both top recruits. One makes sense for the NBA but the other doesnt. Like some of you have said, behind the scenes recruiting or negative comments caused this since Holland isnt going pro. Every team would love to have him so he will get paid for sure!!!Beard is a great recruiter of talent, but hasn’t always been a great retainer of talent. So in this wacky world of NIL, all bets would be off even if Beard had kept his hands to himself.

I'm curious. In what ways are you imagining?I know it can't happen because basketball is set up so differently from baseball especially with the International option, but with the NBA having a legitimate minor or developmental league, it would be nice if college basketball could go to a system similar to college baseball.
Unless they put the sit out a yr into this equation then its just a further slide down the slope. The money is no longer under the table, its just straight paying of the athletes with no boundaries. Not good for college sports in my opinion.I would love to see the end of one and done in college ball, but even if that happened the portal would allow a transfer after one year, so it would look just the same from the school's point of view. You noted that issue in your post too. The reality is that the players have the power while the schools, coaches, and fans are screwed if they wish to watch a kid develop and grow over a career
