Will both teams be wearing new prison stripe uniforms?

Is that the new SEC/BIG-12 challenge Jersey’s Nike/Adidas have been collaborating on?

In Rupp on Jan 26th…

Absolutely the fallout from the draft will change things a bit.

Nevada certainly could make a case as a top 3 pre-season team with the twins. Their PG returns from injury, added OAD possible Jordan Brown, 4 more high scoring transfers to the mix. It’s a ton of talent that will have to be worked on to mesh.

Kentucky still looks flawed to me even if those guys return but definitely their ceiling raises a heck of a lot with them. With them keeping mum on the transfer market it seems they must be confident at least 1 of the 3 is staying.

KU with Doke certainly has a higher ceiling and puts some pieces into place that would be unsettled without him. It downplays the impact Lightfoot and McCormack would have to give. With the unknown situation regarding De Sousa’s future we definitely could use a starter returning to anchor this team that’s facing a complete face lift

The firing is important, the timing is great. Once FB season rolls along and the struggles start to mount there can be a move made there as well.

Think about this the next AD will not only potentially be responsible for hiring a new FB coach but Bill Self’s replacement as well. Not only that, whatever platoon mess comes with conference realignments, tv contracts, potential staying/leaving the Big-12. This could be seen as a very important hire coming up. KU has to knock it out of the park.

Good post and very true.

I think Gonzaga looks like maybe the most complete team going into next year. This was a young team reloading after some key departures. Their starting 5 should be as good as any getting back two NBA prospects (Hachimura, Tillie) to return for their Jr seasons. Norvell takes another step forward after a stellar Freshman year. Perkins runs point as the savy veteran leader. They will have depth, size, shooting which is all key.

The only other potential very good team I could find was Nevada but that hinges on both the twins & Caroline returning. There is a lot of talent on that team if all return especially adding a potential OAD in Jordan Brown.

Many months too late unfortunately
