Should be back to back! Well deserved, congrats Joel!

I suppose if we can only use players we know will be on the roster next year my guess at the starting lineup would be Harris, Elmarko Jackson, Nick Timberlake, KJ Adams, and Ernest Udeh. However, with Udeh’s foul problems he will only be on the floor 10 minutes a game, meaning a more common lineup will be Harris, Jackson, Timberlake, Marcus Adams, and KJ Adams. Of course, this lineup WILL change with the portal so the posts now are meaningless outside of having fun shooting the breeze. Maybe we won’t get our most desired targets, but we will get a couple players who will compete for starting roles.

I would really like to see us go after Brandon Mahan from UCF. Just entered the portal and was a very efficient scorer last year.

Pretty terrible seeding throughout.

With Doke gone, our perimeter scoring will need to pick up the slack. Our 3 ball has got to be much better next year than it was last. I’m hoping Bryce Thompson can help out with that. If anyone happens to know or have any theories about how good a shooter he is please share!

I know this is probably stupid and is definitely a knee-jerk reaction to 1 game, but a little part of me wants Yesufu to start taking Remy’s minutes. I know Remy is probably the better player but it seems like we need Yesufu’s defense more than we need Remy’s offense. Thoughts? Am I as crazy as I feel?

Does anyone have any leads on who the coordinators/assistant coaches will be?

To chime in on a positive note, it looks like a lot of his issues point to bad coaching. It makes sense, because Tom Crean is one of the worst coaches in CBB. Better decision making, better knowledge of the playbook, and a little more hesitation to just let the threes fly and he could be a very solid player.

I am surprised this hasn’t been brought up here yet, but both have been in walking boots and it is obvious that neither of them is playing at 100%. What are the odds that they play like their old selves come the tournament? And if they can’t, are our chances at a title dead?

I hope Tyon can shoot as well. I tried to look up his JUCO stats but couldn’t find them. Do any of you guys know what his offensive strengths are?

The following my my guess of the rotation and minutes:

1. Harris (32 mpg) / Morris (8)
2. Morris (18 mpg) / Elmarko (11) / Timberlake (11)
3. McCullar (23 mpg) / Timberlake (15) / Elmarko (2)
4. KJ Adams (22 mpg) / Marcus Adams (9) / McCullar (9)
5. Dickinson (32 mpg) / KJ Adams (8)

In games where we have foul trouble we will see Braun, McDowell, or Johnson get minutes as well.

Are we going to get any transfers then or are we going to just have three open scholarships next year?

@rcjhdraft Yeah its pretty crazy to advocate for waiting to see a player play before judging his abilities.

@BShark I see. Then wouldn’t that put us at 13 scholarships even if Ochai, Jalen, and Remy all pull out of the draft?

@Texas-Hawk-10 I see. But isn’t it true the Mitch doesn’t count against our scholly total?

If Och does want to come back is there any way we could get Kyle Cuff to reclassify again?

@BShark Then UK is getting both TyTy and Wheeler? I have also heard Davion Mintz is likely returning, so it seems like they will have a lot of pgs.
