Will be interesting to see just how our roster shapes up, as well as just what players are ready for action.....We will be VERY competitive (if we keep our core). We WIN Pre-season NIT "if" Penny gets the lead guard that he wants

Yep. Hopefully they gel early!

"If" he doesn't we have no chance. Both of our point guards are gone.

Lot's of contributing factors the past season, affecting all teams....I seem to feel VERY optimistic about the way the team and Penny closed out the season with the intensity on the defensive end that was sustained.....Now Penny has more capable/willing players coming in to squeeze even more intensity out of his team and system......This is gr8 all the way around....He's getting that Huggins type intensity and maybe even more so.....

Thanks for the link. I feel like the start of next season will be way better than the last season.

None of those programs have anything on Memphis. Of course we can beat them. That’s all I’m saying.

Good thing Western Kentucky and VCU aren’t in it.

Why?

Anybody that doesn't realize just how much of an impact DW had on our team, either didn't watch or didn't understand. They were almost 180 degrees different team when he was ruled eligible and put on the floor.
