Best case is returning 8 top 100-150 rated HS players, all with significant DI experience, one being a former Mickey D AA, while adding the Illinois HS POY and a starter on a JC team that advanced to the NJCAA Elite 8.

Nick Marshall
Dedric Lawson
KJ Lawson
Markel Crawford
Craig Randall
Avery Woodson
Sam Craft
Jeremiah Martin

Jimario Rivers
Charlie Moore


Worst case scenario:

Even with the loss of Dedric and/or others, Goodman has announced three grad transfers in the last 48 hours alone, so the market for DI players with experience will be viable AND a UNLV commit has already back out because of the coaching uncertainty (with 30+ open jobs, probably some more late HS kids available).

Chris Beard walked into UALR, added 10 new players, won 30 games, the SunBelt regular season and conference tournament titles, and won an NCAA game.

It's not that hard.

I agree that the cupboard is not bare.

But were Woodson, Randall and Jerimiah Martin top 150 players? Seems like Martin was in the 300s when he committed to La Tech.

I bet the excuse next year will be that we are young and there are a lot of new players.

5 of top 8 rated top 100-150 then.

Not the main point though.

The common denominator is the problem - not the roster.

Though some love to throw 7 years worth of kids under the energy bus.

True. And it will also be the excuse for the terrible OOC schedule.

Shouldn't be for an experienced coach who can actually coach, and bring out the best in the players.
Does our head coach fit that description?

It's ok when he does it because it's in response to others bashing the coach.

Rephrased - not that hard for a coach to put together a roster at Memphis that goes to the tournament given the resources, talent and support.

At this point, I doubt anyone but some desperate blue hairs would pay for my services. LOL. That train left the station a while back.
