re: Define Success for Will Wade's Tigers Next Season

My debating skills? Sampson was more productive last season than JOB was that's not debatable no matter the position he plays. Basketball more than any other sport is position less the only reason they have positions is for box scores. Lebron James is a forward but plays as a point guard same with Ben Simmons so you don't know what you're talking about. Coleman wasn't here the season before and there was no way to determine what he would do or how he would fit as a wing player. He was a power forward in JC at 6-5 195. And the records of the two teams have nothing to do with anything, what I said was there is more talent on this roster than the one Jones inherited and by every metric that's not debatable. There are 6 players on the current roster who are top 200 recruits, the roster Jones inherited had 3. The fact that you'd take tuba over Elbert and Epps says everything about your hoops knowledge. Don't criticize someone els's debating skills when you yourself can't make one single valid statement. And why are you lying about what I said? I never said we are overflowing with talent i never said Wade has to win big or he's a failure, just shows you have to bolster your stupidity with lies to try and make a point. I said Wade is walking into a much more talented roster that Jones did (fact) and that if jones can win 19 Wade should do that or better. Big difference.

a solid NIT and maybe NCAA bubble team next year.

Anything's possible, but a tourney invitation seems a bit far fetched with the team Wade inherits. Talent aside (and talent is an issue), most of his players are not game ready and some are just simply unfit. Give it a year.

I actually think we'll make the NCAA Tourney next year. I think the national and local media are sleeping hard on the talent we have coming back next year. Mays is a good, young PG. Reath is a talented post guy. Jenkins is a wing scorer who only showed flashes of what he could do because he wasn't completely healthy. Sampson, to me is ultra talented but I don't think Johnny got the most out of him.
