Huh...

They return more and have the #2 class...

Are you serious?

Their #2 class consists of a single combo guard and a suite of 6'6" small forwards.

They have a very potential 3 point shooting weakness, and a potential height issue.

Its not that they would be bad, but #2 is a serious stretch.

Some really good players are returning as well as a pretty good grad transfer.

If Kentucky ends up getting Kerry Blackshear, then I could see this ranking. Without him, I believe its a really optimistic stretch. He withdrew from the draft yesterday, so its possible they land him as a transfer.

They picked up Nate Sestina, a 6'9" 240 transfer from Bucknell who averaged 16 and 9 last year. EJ Montgomery, who was a top 10 player in the 2018 is also returning. (Crap I've become a Kentucky apologist).

Go forth and sin no more

A 4 slot from Katz is pretty much getting "all the smoke".

I'm just glad they used the Memphis State jersey.

Exactly my thought...

I'd wait until we beat Kentucky or MSU or Duke or just about anyone else in the final four before we go putting down other team's ability. We haven't beaten a good team in the NCAA since Tyreke Evans played.

This exactly! as many pics they could have used it is a Memphis State Jersey representing!

Katz knows a Tiger Train is coming. He had to respect the blue blood but you can smell the fear in the air.
