Due to the Easter weekend, our series @ Auburn starts at 6 pm tonight.

I can sense the excitement in the air.

Spring/Summer basketball?  I'm in.

Ewin coming back.  That's nice.

Spring/Summer basketball?  I'm in.

Basketball and Baseball are so close.

MBB especially confuses me.

Jordan Smith, JJ Andrews AND Abdou Toure will all be starting.  If Billy comes back, JJ is even athletic enough to slide to the 4 at 225 pounds.  There won't be another team in the country that has that athleticism.

They are physically incredible.  Explosive drivers.  Incredible verticals.  All can get to the rim at will. 

No player in the country made the leap Toure did his senior season.  He became deadly from 3, which was holding him at a 4 star.  Now he's a 5 star. He is a crazy athlete but has a better overall offensive game than any of the 3.  He's an athlete like Thiero, but a better basketball player coming into college than either he was or Billy.

These 3 are winners.  Smith and Toure are state champions.  Toure 3 times.  JJ was close.

Get a couple bigs that are good and there's no limit to what this team can accomplish. 

I like the idea of JJ as a small ball four. 


Still want us to add some conventional power forward types as well.

This will be an unpopular opinion here, but I think JJ will struggle a little offensively next year. The way he scores will be a lot  more difficult in college. He's going to be a rotation guy just on defense alone but I'm expecting hin to score in the 7-8 pts a game range. I would be surprised if he shoots 30% from 3 as a freshman. Hope I'm wrong, but I'm not as optimistic about his offensive game transitioning to college.

I only watched the second half of the McD game, but I didn't see anyone as good as any of this past years class. I think Andrews is going to be a stud. He dunked in a full football uniform during the dunk contest.

[Barton Fink]

This class isn't as good as last year's but that was an exceptional class. This class has better athleticism but lack great skilled players.

I think JJ will be a really good player here. Just think it may take some for him to be a constant offensive scorer.

[egregious]

with knox and sealey we played 9.

Maybe we need to start with 11 that are at least somewhat serviceable since 2 are going to break.

That's a lot of chicken.

with knox and sealey we played 9.

And a healthy roster means we might still be alive but chances are we just didn't have enough menz.

This is why I see him getting minutes at 4.  Agree with all your saying about the offense.  Could see him playing at 6'7" 240 which is big enough/strong enough to guard the paint while also being athletic enough to guard a wing.

The second article on that page has Acuff going third to Brooklyn. I'd hate that.

Kinda expected that. That probably means BR3 and/or Thomas are likely to return.

[vegashog]

i think that means they are feeling pretty good about someone they want from the portal.

[Pig Benis]

Or Meleek coming back. I can dream.

[BASS]

errbody go buy some chicken nuggets so we can get the georgia and georgia tech bigs

[vegashog]

whether thomas comes back or not, still need a wing/4 to take knox's spot. i personally don't see sealey being a big contributor next year and that leaves richmond and maybe andrews. need someone that can come in and play day one.

[Barton Fink]

I'm higher on Sealy than most. The game just needs to slow down for him and I think it will. Needs to put in countless hours shooting this off season.

I keep saying don't sleep on the 7'1" kid. This is Semedo working out with a reputable trainer. He may not be a major contributor next year but he will see the floor.

I really hope we get BR3 back. He was exciting to watch and was a baller.
