This team has talent if it returns. We return every major contributor unless Blakeney leaves. Relative to the rest of the SEC West, we have 4 really solid starters.

We'll add two top 150 types. I'm thinking maybe NCAA. With Victor, we had arguably one of the better starting 5s in the West.

What say you? It's not a rebuild.

I would assume Blakeney is gone. Other than that it depends on just how horribly Joe Alleva botches the hire.

Dude this is way too early. Lets see who the coach is and who stays and who they bring in.

Not really... even so, we will more than likely see quite a few transfer out depending on the new coaching regime.

Too early to tell. It all depends on who the new coach is

I will believe that Jones is gone when a press release comes out of LSU. I just have no faith in Alleva's ability to effectively evaluate his coaches after his handling of Miles over the last 16 months.

If jones is fired and we don't lose too many players to transfer we should be ok. First let's fire this bum and hopefully hire a good coach.

Though this was a down year, I think the program will do better if Coach Jones goes one more year. I guarantee you'll see a different and better team next year under Coach Jones.

The new coach will be an improvement. Hopefully, a new offensive philosophy and a rebirth. It will take several years to contend in the top 4 of the SEC.

Really just depends on the quality of coach we get. You have to sell the players and fan base. You can't go cheap. The decision is with Mr. Alleva and his supporters.

I'm sorry that coach Jones was not able to get it done here. A quality educated coach makes all the difference.

Could North Texas hire Jones back.
They just fired Benford.

Looks like you got the reaction and attention you wanted. NCAA, hahahhaahhah! Get real. New coach will not create miracles and if it is still CJJ, how could anyone expect it to be better.

Victor will not be coming back because his problems will continue. Remember Tyrann was coming back after a year before he got busted? You have to hit bottom before you can start back up.

People say the talent is there because we have three or four players who can make the highlight reel. What they forget is that is only one or two plays a game. The rest of the time they are making turnovers and playing some of the worst defense ever seen.

No capable big men. Reath and Robinson have some of the worse hands ever. Reath lacks strength, Robinson lacks mobility. Epps can make the highlight reel with dunks and three pointers but still can't box out on rebounds and play good defense.

Sims is good but too short. Mays still tries the same stuff that worked in high school but college players are a lot quicker and faster. Potentially a very good player but needs to watch a lot of film and figure out what he does wrong.

Blakeney definitely goes pro somewhere and Sampson is probably the most likely to transfer. All in all next year will be better but no tournaments.
