No real inside presence is huge. The fact that we can't shoot overrides any talent that's on the floor. No real point guard that can drive and dish instead of driving and charging or turning it over hurts big time. Just to name a few.
We need to recruit quality and I think that they will. We're 2 years away from competing in the sec.

It’s people like you that need to wake up. No matter the talent level Jones and Johnson NEVER lost by 10+ points every. Single. Game.

By competing in the sec do you mean

Actually having a chance to win a game?

You might want to take a look at McMahon's recruiting class.

I can guess what happens. Next year he’s gonna go for all shooters out of the portal and we won’t have anyone to rebound

please STOP! There are tall players that have been on this team all year. The EFFORT and what the hell he wants to do for offense versus defense is the ISSUE. Effort, effort, effort,

That is on coaching AND the talented players on this freaking team

Let’s see, he can’t recruit and clearly cannot coach at this level. Easy to make the tournament when you’re in the OVC and have all those Kentucky players in your backyard. He is in way over his head here. Horrible hire.

I still think we would be better with a different random set of players out of the portal

We have no brakes to pump and we're driving off the Grand Canyon.

Big issues, it’s not necessarily talent when you beat Wake Forest, top 10 Arkansas, should have won at Rupp vs Kentucky, then you lose every game by large margins.

Some of this is lack of scorers, but some of this is the Staff struggling to get the best effort and improvements. I get it’s year 1, but like most have said, not being competitive is just bad

Unless McMahon turns into the portal king it’ll probably be another mishmash roster like this but without KJ

I don’t believe this metaphor is used when you lose.

McMahon is going to need millions of dollars to bring any decent recruit, portal player or big man here … a fishing pole and a go phone

If they don't recruit at an elite level yes McMahon's days will be numbered. Gotta believe we can upgrade what we have. A couple of point guards/shooting guards who can also shoot the eyes out and a real presence inside would be nice. We don't have the talent to compete right now. Rome wasn't built in a day.

His class is ranked #48 in the country with two players committed. And if I'm them I'd be looking around.
