Is Shaka Smart the best combination of Person and Teacher coaching MBB in the Big 12?

i think he will out-recruit self by year 2, with self's record of ruining young talent i think higher profile kids will pick texas over KU because of shaka.  oubre was lucky to get out while he still could and alexander is stuck for another year it seems.  shaka just brings that "IT" factor to the big 12.

He is going to recruit the eff out of Texas

LOTTA similarities between Bill and Tom too.  Great analogy.

So do you guys think Shaka will take Texas to new heights of basketball success.

This makes me that much angrier that Iowa State pissed the conference title down their leg this season.

True, but OU fans should be more upset. Lost to us twice and lost a 20 point lead in the 2nd half in Ames.

Oh God, and now their biggest rival has Smart...

shaka will start winning a lot.

Big 12 will move the tourney to Dallas for 10 years and KU will go to the Pac 12

This is accurate, maybe too accurate.  You must promise to only use your time machine for good, and never for evil.

I'm all about Shaka outclassing Bill, but weren't high profile kids picking UT over KU with Barnes at the helm? Shaka has to out-coach Bill not out-recruit.

"It's a five-year contract, but the chances of staying for five years I don't think are very good," Popovich said.


Shaka only has to out-coach Self for another year or two.
