RE: How Worried Should We Be About Our Roster For Next Year?
If no other players are added this should be a solid NIT / NCAA bubble team.
No Green. No Brown; but a solid looking JUCO.
We'll just have to see if Penny can pull a rabbit out of his hat for this class..... he may can.

I am so sick of this tread.
I'm not worried about our team one wit.

RE: How Worried Should We Be About Our Roster For Next Year?
Hopefully, a year of experience for these players made them realize that they will respect their conference opponents. Houston is not going anywhere in our conference, ECU and USF are supposed to make drastic improvements as well. This conference will take a step back because of Wichita State losing basically their whole team, and Cincinnati losing Cumberland. With UCONN leaving, the AAC will take an additional step back and with UCONN joining the Big East, you'll think the Huskies will be in the conference.
Arensco is so heavy on football and getting UCF, Memphis, and Cincinnati's football team to the G5 Bowl Game (Cotton, Peach, Fiesta) that he is forgetting that our basketball conference is terrible. The AAC needs to have 5 teams minimum in the tournament regularly. I don't see the AAC getting 3 teams in next year.
Regarding to this team, turnovers will determined how much improvement this team has made. Sadly, I don't see the Tigers making the tournament next year by adding one role player (the other replaced Maurice) while losing a top-15 player.

Plus a roster of younger guys that are a year older now. They started off rough with all the smoke around Wiseman, but once it was clear JW was gone, they began to show some focus and development amidst a lot of sloppy, energetic mistakes.
I bet we'll win at least one game in the conference tournament, which is more than we did this year.

I doubt we even play this year. If we do won't be any fans watching. Prepare for next year.

I don't see us winning more than 17-18 games with the current roster.

I will be joyfully uplifted if we play any college sports during the year of 2020.

We will. Too much money at stake and we cannot stay hidden forever.

we don't even know the schedule yet and we're throwing out win totals?
I mean, get Landers Nolley and I think we'll be in good shape for next season.

Don't know the whole schedule but you pretty much know what you've got in conference. Plus I don't think the OOC schedule will be entirely Jackson States and Arkansas Pine Bluffs.

Way too early to “know what you’ve got” in regards to conference play.
