He needs to be a 20 ppg scorer next year for this team to even have a pulse. He'll get the shots, good decision for him.

better next year just by having some real leadership in Blakeney.


Truth. Blakeney was the only one to seem like that gave a shite. It showed in his game by how much better he got. In fact, he was the only one on the team that seemed to get better as the year went on.

Definitely helps that Blakeney will be back, but I'm not optimistic about an above .500 SEC record or NCAA Tourney berth. We'll like this team better than this year's though. Ben Simmons being given carte blanche last year set the program back. Most of his teammates didn't deal with it well. Maybe they can all exhale next year and overachieve.

Great decision by AB, IMO. Hoping for a great next year from him so that he will be a first round draft selection if he opts to go next spring.

That's huge for the team and for him. He started to come on late last year. Without Simmons and TQ, he should see a lot more scoring opportunities.

Really hoping he can take a leadership role and elevate the team he and victor seem like they really care about winning and the players are gonna have to take the reigns and lead cause "coach" can't do it
