Hindsight on Jaren. He wanted to go to NC last season but couldn't. So he compared $, coaching plus experience of us vs high school and chose to use us for a year & Cash in knowing all along he was probably going to NC. Explains his on and off effort.

I just don't buy it. We brought in Nelson both years and he could of left last year. Felt like he accepted his role and tried to be a good teammate.
Then brought in bol bowen and another big. Sure that didn't help.
He didn't have a great year this year unfortunately. North Carolina took him so I doubt he wasn't good enough to play for us.

Reid on the other hand was sus if the rumors are true.


Idk feel like we need to add another big F or C to help with rebounding/defense and foul trouble.

Holloway, Sherell, and Wrightsell is the only returning production. Only one was a starter and coming off a crucial injury.

Going to be a completely different team. Nate has his work cut out for him.

Yeah. Regarding Murphy, technically he's not a good system fit because he's not a good shooter or transition guy, but considering our need, we really could use a guy like him. A good, tough interior defender, rebounder, and clean-up scorer that shoots 2's at a high percentage. We need that a lot to go with our other front court guys

Would of rather just kept Mo Diaboute

Don't want to be negative but I would prefer Steveson over Bol Bowen. Looks skinny to me in highlights and same height as Jarin.

Best we ever been as a program. I hope they're not running these players off if they wanted to be here and was a good teammates and workers. I hope it's cause we couldn't pay enough.

Portal giveth and take. To have a complete deck is going to take some maneuvering. Don't feel like we stack up in the portal with the big boys cash.

My hunch is philon goes pro. He was one and done from the beginning if I remember correctly. But nil/draft slot could change it. I just hope it doesn't drag on to long and we miss out.

It'd be nice to get Reid and Steveson locked back in.

Rylan Griffen entered the portal.

A reporter said a reunion wouldn't be out the question.

Seems weird to think of him returning

I feel like

Aden, philon, reid, mo/Stevenson, sherell

Is a solid base. Experienced, athletic, those should be retained if possible.

Pay them with NIL before looking to portal.

Thought cliff was a slam dunk but turns out he only hits 2/3 of dunks.
It's no sure thing in the portal either.

Auburn has done a great job manging Bruce Pearl sweat during the game.

He use to look like he just climbed out of a pool but not anymore.

Must have got him some active cool wear gear and set the ac to 65.

I was impressed.

The strange thing is that last year I had a lot of confidence in Sears either converting the layup or getting to the line when he drove.

It works during the game but at the end of the game refs tend to want to let them play instead of whistling.

I love sears but I'm tired of him playing for a foul call when the game is on the line and getting rejected by a big man. Run some offense and pass the ball. He wants to iso hero ball.

Idk Georgia had him moved into the dorms at one point

Im so disappointed. 4 seconds and Colin Sexton has to float it from the free throw line on a full court run.

He expected to get the foul call. I'd rather attempted a three to win than relying on refs. I think they all suck but I'm biased.

Aden Holloway looked very good.

Looks way more confident shooting with a good coach.

No doubt
