When you look out on that floor, There is one player that may make an NBA roster. (Watford) he’s a true freshman. We lost Reid and waters. We don’t have anyone as good as them. (One wasn’t drafted and the other was a second round pick)

We need to add more players to the existing roster, big man/shot blocker, a wing who can hit the three, and a good perimeter defender. Then we will be an sec contender again.

You're not wrong. They were a little bigger almost at every position and quicker. And a decent amount better collectively.

Give me a KBB type player on this team and the loss column drops significantly. 6'11" run the floor, protect the rim, grab boards, 110% hustle 100% of the time.

I agree! Its surprising that we have remained competitive with the difference in talent between Ky and LSU. We are one rim protector away from winning it all.

This is the correct answer. There's a reason why teams like Kentucky/Duke/Kansas are at or near the top of CBB. The recruit in a way that keeps them from having glaring weaknesses like the ones we have. You'll have teams that pop in and out of greatness but recruiting is key to sustainability.

That said...I think Wade is getting us there. He simply doesn't have the horses this year. We can't expect SEC championships until we have sustained top-10 recruiting classes.

EW with 5 pts last night didn't help. And Javonte is hot garbage and highly overrated.

WW has no bench to go to.
When he hast to substitute it is truly cringe worthy.

This place is ridiculous. There’s talent on the roster. They have lost close games and a couple to teams they should have beat. This is basketball not football. Expectations aren’t to go undefeated.

And a true ball handling point guard. I like smart and all but watching him try to run the offense is painful.
