It’s C-USA

They basically have to win their conference tournament to go to the Tournament.

Kinda surprising, I’d expect him to get power 5 interest, but he could also really thrive at that level (see Cook)

I expected him to go to Arkansas. Really glad he didn’t. He probably would be All-SEC there.

He wouldn’t have seen the court at Arkansas, they are loaded.

By saying it’s a downgrade, you’re assuming these guys are in it for the competition, conference, and name across the chest. That could not be further from the truth. It’s all about NIL, and his best chance to go to the next level. Good Luck Eric.

Not really. I think more than one team from the conference got into the tournament before.

Kennedy is a good coach, they will be a good team again next year. UAB basketball and football are on the rise right now.

Same. What did you call him the other day? Sweet agent of Chaos?

I like how he said Notre Dame has the number 1 ranked recruiting class. They were number 7, not 1.

For 2023 you cannot judge the rankings yet since were 8 months from signing day. They will undoubtedly drop outside the top 5 once the class progresses.

Just those few comments discredit everything else of his article.

Love me some Eric Gaines! Yeah, I know he was kind of helter skelter with the ball, but he always gave his all to the game no matter who the opponent was or what the score was. Man I was surely hoping Coach Matt was going to talk him into coming back. I hope he tears it up!

Yes

Beautiful Agent of Chaos

Shocked we never gave him "tAgentofChaos" moniker or "tChaosAgent"

Signing period starts on Wednesday. It seems like McMahon has been focused on putting together the staff, he’s done a very good job there and now we’re set to go out and get players. Just chill, we’ll know a lot more by May 13th.

Sort of an odd move, I figured he’d stay at LSU before transferring to a school like UAB.

Too bad they picked him over Jalen.

Thought he would go somewhere bigger than that.


Why? He’s not good enough

Tough but dysfunctional team. Saw them up close. The cuss each other out and argue but still manage to win.

UAB is a good program with the right coach. Hopefully Kennedy can be another Bartow as far as longevity is concerned. I'm looking forward to that back court of Gaines and Walker.
