So, what makes Texas' hire of Beard one of the best in college basketball?
Transfer Talent
Before fall practice has even begun, Beard has managed to assemble a fresh roster loaded with new talent from top to bottom. Beard may feel differently about which players operate best in certain spots.
It's clear that Beard's ability as a coach has been a selling point for players, including incoming freshmen guard Jaylon Tyson. The Plano native committed to Texas on April 8, exactly a week after Beard's hire.
Inter-conference Impact
Another big, yet underrated reason the hire was so impactful is that it took Beard away from the Longhorn's inter-conference rival in the Texas Tech Red Raiders. Beard is 8-5 in his career against the Longhorns, making his departure from Tech even that much more beneficial for Texas' future success.
Who knows? Beard could've continued to be a thorn in the side of the Texas basketball program, but instead chose to take on the challenge of coaching in one of the most pressure-filled programs in all of college basketball.
