They'll be the clearest favorite we've had in this conference unless they have some defections.

RE: 2020-21 Preseason Basketball Discussion
I fully expect ECU to bring in a couple guys that have yet to be named. But if we don't... ECU should basically have the exact same roster next year. The only guy we're adding for sure is:

Derrick "FiFi" Quansah - 7'0" 235lbs

He is currently taking a prep year at Hargrave Military Academy. He's still relatively new to basketball (only played for 3 or 4 years), but his athleticism is off the charts.

The question is, can we keep everybody healthy? This year got off to an awful start in part because of all the injuries, coupled with the fact that 9 new faces had to learn to play together.

I think the guys will take a step forward next season. There is some good young talent on the roster, and guys like Tristen Newton, Brandon Suggs, and Tremont Robinson-White have a lot of potential.

Sounds like there is a good chance Jalen Tate, best player on would be tournament team Northern Kentucky, and MVP of the horizon league tournament will graduate and transfer to UC for his final year of eligibility.

Houston should be good, but I detect a chink in their armour. Lots of wings and guards but short on post players. White and Gresham are all ya got.

We redshirted a big and are bringing in a 6-9 forward in this recruiting class. Toss in Gorham and Nate Hinton (who's tougher on the boards than 90% of the bigs in this conference) and I think we'll be fine. Also most of the league's best bigs (Scott, Echenique, Achiuwa, and Igbanu) are leaving the league. That said if Grimes and Jarreau both leave, than I think we'll fall back to being just another contender. If we return at least one then I think we should be the clear favorite.

we have this guy coming in
https://247sports.com/player/kiyron-powell-46058746/


this guy red-shirting
https://247sports.com/player/jwan-roberts-46055190/

we also still have Justin gorham who the coaches still love and says he would be more of a star if fabian white (who he loves more ) wasnt on the team..that he's having a hard time finding his place on a deep team, and few minutes to figure it out..but says he'll be special as senior, compares him to devin davis
..here an article from 2 months ago talking about it
http://thedailycougar.com/2020/02/25/jus...r-cougars/

not that any of that matters....we ran 4 guards for the majority of our last 5 games, hinton/grimes/dejon can all defend the 4 at 6'5 (hinton was who defended scott when we played)...the 4star SG we have coming in is 6'6 .. i expect a lot of 4 guard line up next season

there is no scenerio that we wont be voted the conference favorites...even if we lost both and surprise lost mills....the coaches voted us #1 despite losing 4 starters and a different team in the cconference with #1 recruiting class in the country..the coaches/media have too much respect for Sampson...we'll be the favorite even if we dont deserve to be

You'll be the favorite and you'll deserve to be. If everyone who can return returns you'll be a top 5 to 10 team.

houston probably the favorite..2/9 jumbled up depending on offseason moves...temple/ecu looking like 10/11...tulane probably last

We only have 11 teams next year. I have ECU 9th, Tulane 10th, and Temple dead last.

Temple's situation next season is somewhat difficult to predict, because half of the roster (6 players) will be new next season, and the team's roster of active players is expected to increase to 13 (from a maximum of 11 last season).

The team's main loss will be Quinton Rose. The other three departing players (Moore II, D. Moore, & Hamilton) played nearly 1/4 of the team's minutes and were relatively unproductive and/or inconsistent during the past season. The incoming players who replace the latter three may be more productive than they were.

The 6 incoming players:

A skilled RS Sophomore transfer PG (Tai Strickland) from Wisconsin will join the team, as will a medical RS CG (Damian Dunn) who showed considerable promise in inter-team scrimmages prior to a pre-season injury. Both had the benefit of practicing with the team last season.

Two HS recruits will join the team: Quincy Ademokoya (SF/Wing) and Jahlil White (SG/Wing). Both are capable scorers and rebounders who can help to fill the scoring gap left by Rose's departure. Ademokoya is a skilled 3 point shooter with inside and outside scoring ability.

In addition, Coach McKie has two other roster spots to fill with late HS recruits, JUCOs or - perhaps most likely - experienced D1 players from the transfer portal. McKie has had his greatest recruiting success, to date, attracting skilled transfers to play at Temple.

The team will definitely miss Rose's overall play, his senior experience/leadership, and his scoring. However, the team's shooting % may be likely to increase next season, due to the fact that Rose was not a high FG% shooter.

The team's play-making may also improve next season, due to the fact that the team's starting PG only averaged a meager 3.3 assists per 40 minutes last season (in 32 mpg). In contrast, incoming PG Strickland averaged 5.6 assists per 40 minutes at Wisconsin. Given that each assist results in 2-3 points being scored, his additional 2.3 assists per 40 minutes, alone, could help to increase Temple's scoring by 3-5 ppg next season.

However, the two transfers that Coach McKie hopes to sign this spring may have the greatest potential to become impact players who might be able to make Temple more competitive next season.

One other factor that might help next season is that it seems unlikely that as many Temple players will miss a number of games due to injuries next season.

Taken together with having a 13-man (rather than available 11-man) roster, Coach McKie is likely to have a significantly deeper bench to work with next season.

All of these factors added up may not make Temple an upper-tier team next season, but the Owls might be able to contend for 5th or 6th place and a possible NIT bid if all goes well.

2020-21 Preseason Basketball Discussion
So did the Coronavirus buy Jank an extra year? I think the SMU fans had said that he was told basically tournament or your out. Well since the tournament got canned they probably are balking at pulling the trigger now. On top of that, the coaching carousel seems to be very slow this year. Lots of bad optics firing people in the middle of all this mess. Plus with the recruiting limitations it could really set a school back.

Yup, schools are scared to make moves on coaches right now. Jank is a cat on his 10th life. Kind of remarkable really.

Word out of Dallas right now is that the entire roster will be back next year.
That includes the good, the bad and the ugly as well as Cal transfer Darius McNeil who sat out this past year. If this is the case I think Jank survives and we get another year of weak scheduling, lackluster coaching and absurd excuses.

The good news? That’s a pretty deep and experienced team. They should be capable of making the NCAA tourney. Wnd you can bet that if they can’t then Jank will be done.

Davis. McNeil Cj White

Jolly. Bandoumel Darius McBride

Hunt. Smith IV.

Mike. Jahmar Young

Jasey Chagois



..... and William Douglas.

Yup. And if he cant do it with that lineup.... he cant do it at all. That’s a pretty solid 8 with the potential for any or all of Smith, Young and White to give improved minutes.
