Barring a special transfer or 2 and even of Trey Porter stays we will not be as good next year. If there was ever a time for a coaching change it is now. Thoughts ?

All depends if JJ retires and Stith takes over.

Do you want to talk about next year’s team or about the coach? We have enough threads about the coach, I’d think. If you want to talk about the roster, I think we’ll be right in the mix for the conference title.

We have a first team all-conference player, a legitimate big in Porter, and a better than decent guard in BJ. I think that is a pretty good start.

Caver Kitchart
Green Hueitt
Stith Godwin
? Carver
Porter ?

A couple ?s and a weakness.

A grad transfer big would sure be nice.

why would we be worse next year?

Not bad really, especially compared to the 2 teams we couldn't beat; MT and WKU. UAB loses Lee and Cokley too. Marshall will be hard to beat.

We lose Brandan, that’ll hurt. We lose Randy, but everyone wanted more Hueitt and Green anyway, so now we’ll get it.

If we keep Porter and Hueitt we will be fine. Top 3 or 4 again

Love the makeup of the team and the talent level they should have. I hope the OOC schedule is tough and gives them a chance to pick up top 100 wins throughout the season.

Team...
Honestly I don't see how we will be in the mix. We will be really young with little talent at the PF/C spot.

To me the biggest question will be PF / C. I can't see Porter staying. So all we will have is Carver with any game experience. I think at the 1,2,3 we will have decent talent.

If Carver is our only inside presence we are in for a long season.

Hence my think we will be behind this year. Unless we pick up 1 or 2 grad transfers.

So its based on Porter hypothetically leavng?

Even with Porter staying, Carver is often alone because Porter is often in foul trouble.

That’s where hopefully a freshman can give us 5 minutes a game.

What if they can't score? Or Jones refuses to play them?

Then we are screwed unless a transfer comes in. That’s why so many of us have been upset by Jones lack of ability to recruit interior players until now. Those past years coming up empty are going to hurt now.
