So in a quest to discuss ANYTHING else, a couple of the players think everyone is coming back minus NBA bound Precious...according to some of their friends from school...that'd be great
Malcolm had less than 1/2 of a season. I can’t wait to see him at full speed.
That would indeed be great, if all the others return
The 2010-2011 team, freshmen loaded but not as young as this years team, went 22-9 to be right on the bubble before the CUSA tourney. Went 3-0 there to make the NCAA as an underseeded 12
The following year nearly everyone came back. Lost Garcia and Carmouche, who left after a handful of games. Added Adonis Thomas
The 2011-2012 sophomore laden team went 23-8 and were not on the bubble but again went 3-0 in the CUSA tourney to make the NCAA as an underseeded 8 or 9 seed, I cannot remember
Five stars in Barton and Jackson and 3-4 stars in Crawford and Black all returned
This feels similar although losing Precious is bigger than Carmouche and Garcia combined. Adding an Adonis Thomas type frosh is possible but what is also possible is adding a mature older transfer like we did with Tarrant or Dixon, but not a guard; a big man
Feels like we have even more strong players returning if indeed they all come back. The 12 team had 6 rotation players back
We would have Boogie, Lomax, Harris, Baugh, Thomas, Lester, Jeffries and Dandridge, or 8 heavy rotation players back, let alone Hardaway, who while a little overmatched, should be a more solid short minute sub as a sophomore
Find a big man
