247 rankings - look for the teams with new coaches, genius

What's even more significant is our ranking. I've just used Saluki's metrics (find the rank and check out what the five above and five below last year did) and found that, since we're ranked # 91, every statistical guideline indicates we're going 19-14 this season. I guess that means we lose in the conference quarterfinals and no post season again. Too bad.

Big question - if we go 19-14 under Tubby, how does that feel versus the 19-15 we went under CJP last year? My gut is optimism (for Tubby) vs. pessimism (for CJP).

Big problem facing the Tigers in that scenario is the 17-18 season as there is a good to great chance that Dedric goes pro and and one would have to assume senior to be Christian Kessee is being brought in for this one season to shoulder some of the scoring load, then he is gone. WE NEED TO LOCK DOWN AND SIGN COME RECRUITS IN THE EARLY SIGNING PERIOD.

Depends on how we get there...19-14 because Rykhoek actually is a player and Jimario can hold down the middle in relief and the team gels to make a strong run to the AAC title game and maybe even makes the NIT, maybe even wins a game or two...probably feel pretty good even with the lackluster 2016 and 2017 recruiting to date...

OR

19-14 with Rykhoek breaking his hip in the first week of the season and Dedric being forced to play center and internal tension between Tubby and Keelon and his boys, who never dreamed they'd be forced into risking injury at the DI level by playing undersized post positions and a late skid of losses when teams just pound the ball inside? Probably not so good, especially when the Lawsons leave because of the total bullshtt of the roster situation.

Time will tell obviously though...
