Basketball portal may be the reason we make the tourney next year.
If Jans makes the tournament next year with the team he has now he should get coach of the year and that means we are in for a good number of years of basketball with him as our HC
Man, you've been confident through out, so that is comfortingQuote:

If Jans can get him on board my recruiting questions about him will stop. Its going to be tough though because Duke, Kansas, Texas and a bunch of other schools are after him.Quote:

We don’t have as many spots available as people think.Quote:

Like I said there’s not as many spots available that people think. It will all come out in the next few weeks. We will be fine I’ll just say that.Quote:

I'd take Moore back, he was good for us last year but he has a lot of teams wanting him including Florida. DJ didn't live up to the hype, if he returns maybe Jans can get more out of him.Quote:

He has the speed and enough size to play the 4 if you wanted to go small but also could play as a 2 or a 3 if you went big. I think Jans will be able to unlock him. Like I said I am not looking for him to be the primary scorer, but a guy who can hit 3s at a 35% clip and give us some solid defensive minutes.Quote:

Then let's go dancing
If this were to happen we will be really good..We had a good team on paper last year but Howland just couldn't put it together. Mosley is the intriguing one, he has all the big boys after him but maybe he picks a team like us... an SEC program that's not a blue blood but is Power 5 and plays in a great conference. He could come in and be the man right away. We had him on campus this weekend so he is at least considering usQuote:

Apparently neither side was successful.
So far can not say it seems we are in a better place with the roster but will wait to see how it plays out.
We never wanted Shak to leave.Quote:

I like that we are keeping Shak, I don't think any there are many PG's available that's better, I'm not overly excited about DJ but maybe he turns the corner. That still gives us 3 more scholarships, if we can get Mosley and add another piece or 2 we will have a good roster. A long big to spare Tolu or compliment him would be nice, we don't have alot of low post scoring outside of him right now. Mcnair isn't a big scorer and we don't know how good Murphy will be yet.
I could be wrong, but I see Shak starting at the 2 with Davis (transfer from Oregon St) starting at PG. Then you'd have Reed backing up both spots and getting a good amount of playing time too.Quote:

The idea that he is some sort of mini Nick Saban is hilarious to me. He inherited an extremely good quarterback at Ole Miss and now he's gone.Quote:

We both lose to Bama, aTm, while they lose @Ark and we lose @LSU. Although that is the Dan Mullen 8-4 season. The Leach 8-4 season might beat LSU and aTm but lose to Auburn and Arizona
