C: Tacko Fall

Good lineup if they can stay healthy.

This is absolutely a joke right?? Please please tell me your kidding with this lineup

I think he meant to start Douglas at SG over Dawkins.

Correct i also hear rokas ulvydas will start at point guard over bj

Rokas Ulvydas is a 6-11 PF/C. He will NOT be the starting PG and yet you try to try to call me out ?

Geez. I know you like to try to start stuff with me but you know what ?

It isn't working anymore, friend and to be frankly honest, I don't need people like you trying to rile me up. Not worth it. I'll just put you on ignore and we'll go our separate ways. I actually quite like the back and forth banter here but when you begin to stalk and harass someone only for a reaction, then I've had my fill.

It was a joke because the lineup you put out was absolutely outrageous and those 5 players would never see the court together in a million years. Not a single minute. I promise you

In 3 years together at ucf tacko fall and chad brown have never been on the court at the same time. Both are true centers. Tacko commands the entire paint on both ends of the floor and doesnt allow for any other big to play alongside him. Then you wanna throw in another 6’11” pf/c onto the court at the same time with both of them!!!? Its mindbonggling that someone that has watched even 1 ucf game can come up with such a lineup

Hard to say since ECU currently has no head coach. With no AD currently in place, who would want the job?

Working under the assumption that Milton, Evans, and Shamet are leaving, this is how I see the conference shaking out next year.

1. Houston
2. UCF
3. SMU
4. Cincy
5. Temple
6. Wichita State
7: Memphis
8. UCONN
9. Tulsa
10. USF
11. Tulane
12. ECU

I don't think Tulane would be next to last. I also hate to say it but I don't see UCF as the 2nd best. Maybe 4th best if all shakes out. Middle of the pack will sure be muddled though.

Houston was carried a lot by Gray.

Cincy is a bit too low. Yah, they lose Clark, but they bring back a core of impact players.

Memphis should be the unanimous #1.

if we land Hurley we should be a tourney team IMHO, maybe ranked

For what it is worth, I had a friend speak to Jacob Evan's dad this weekend in Nashville. He got the impression he was leaning towards staying.

I’m working under the assumption that they lose Evans as well. And UH was actually less reliant on Gray this season than the season before.

Even as a Memphis fan, I disagree if you are serious. Maybe eventually if Penny does actually sign some of the interested high level recruits but that remains to be seen. However, 7 is low for a team that finished 5th this year and loses no one of real consequence and returns the top scorer in conference. I’d go no lower than 5th....rn probably 3-5 for Memphis realistically

Who would you put them ahead of and why?

Keep in mind, you guys would have finished 7th if UCF and SMU were healthy.

A good coach at that. They replaced him with an NBA player who has less coaching experience than Danny Manning.

id go
1) houston- homer pick
2) Cincy- still deep,defense didnt fall when clark, wasghinton went into the bech
3) UCF- deep team, defense juggernaut
4) temple - the talent is there
5)Wichita (with lomax, without shamet)
6) memphis (judging on last years roster, will definitely go up or down/roster changes coming)
7) uconn- (judging on last years roster, will go up or down/roster changes coming)
8) tulane- i think melvin declares but comes back...95% of team returns..
9) SMU- super thin, shake gone, 1 transfer from a bad team wont change outlook that much...could go drastically up depending on last commit (wendell mitchell?)
10) tulsa- etou gone- best player, henderson gone- best shooter...dont think they are bad, at worst 140rpi team..unlike the 5 above has little chance to be horrible but also don't have the upside they do
11) usf- freshman david collins dominated at the end of the season ..might be league leading scorer next year
12) ecu-needs to make a great coaching hire

Yes .. but he still changed the dynamic. It will be interesting to see who steps up. With Gray on the floor, the defense had to pay attention to him .. slump or not.
