Starting Five:
Benjamin

Gordon

Maybe Toney takes TSG's starting spot, since we might need TSG to come off the bench and sub for Benjamin. Could use another primary ballhandler and shooter. I'm not concerned about post play, but if there's a usable big out there, then we should go after them.

I'm hoping the starting lineup is something like this:

Benjamin
Ertel
Lovan
Transfer or juco 4/5
Gueye

High-major schools are reaching out to Michael Ertel

Guy that covers Memphis for 247 Sports seems to think Ertel is headed to UAB. Noticed that AK is following his father on Twitter.

Fingers crossed for sure.

Kameron Woods will commit this Tuesday. His hs coach mentioned in a recent interview that he had talked to UAB but didn't elaborate past that comment.

If those listed weights are accurate, Benjamin and TSG need to put on pounds and muscle immediately!

Every team needs a leader; a guy that will do whatever it takes. I think we could use a guy like that and Woods seems to be that type.

Brooks Hansen has hit on a few stories in the past, usually only related to Memphis with us in some sort of fashion.

Would really like to get Kam Woods. He may be a risk bc of his size but the kid is a baller and a winner. Ertel would be a great pick up.

Am I being too much of a barner by saying I'd like to get Myles Parker? He was a walk on at Auburn that had offers from UNC Asheville, UNA, Presbyterian, Campbell and App State. I thought he played pretty well in the minutes he was given.

Would Ertel be a good signing for us?? Seems like we have a ton of guards at this point. How many years would he have?

All of our main guys from last year are returning, so I'd say we could use the scoring punch.

We'd only have Ertel for one season, but he was 11/21 from three in one game last season, and that's an element that we've been missing for a while.

Yeah I just looked at his stats for the first time. I’d take him in a heart beat. His shooting percentages fell off quite a bit last season, but hopefully some of that can be attributed to losing efficiency due to being required to do more on the court..

If you like to read the twitter tea leaves some then Kam Woods announcement that he will be committing Tuesday had a green heart in it.....your welcome everyone who pays way to close attention to little things.

If we get Ertel and Woods I'm going to go down to Bartow Arena and sit in my seat now waiting for the season to start.

Have we offered/are we actively recruiting Woods?

Nothing public about an offer. Holds offers from Jax State and Troy. I understand why the offers haven’t come in, but he’s a really well known local talent.

As it’s been said, do you sign local guys just because?

Can not confirm nor deny the state of his vision...

If you are ready to have your day ruined.

Stansbury just stole 2021 Keshawn Murphy out of Ramsay HS. I give up, man. Sick of this.

He hasn’t signed anything

Right, but Stansbury has been able to get guys to reclassify a year ahead. Now, one has to hope we try to get involved to flip this commitment over the summer.
