Someone please make me feel ok about basketball going forward

[RC3]

Are we doing anything to address our depth issues? How is recruiting going? I saw where we got a commit from another guard out of GA but man we are sooooo thin the post. That and we need a legitimate shooter. We are playing ok today but we will run out of gas a few minutes into the second half. You just can't keep that level of intensity up for a whole game without some depth and we have Zero. I don't understand how two years in a row we are dealing with a team that doesn't have a full roster.

I'm giving ray a pass this year but next year I'm not. I'm not expecting to make the tournament but we just look stupid sometimes

[Coach34]

We have 2 redshirting and 3 signed coming in. And we only lose 1 player

Next year will be better

[RC3]

We are basically getting blown out in every second half we play and are completely incompetent on the road. I still have optimism that ray is the guy but I need to see us start getting some decent players here. Anytime a guy like tyson Cunningham is seeing significant minutes, you know you have problems. I think sword, ware and ready are decent sec basketball players. Need a lot to go with them though

...We'll win the recruiting battle next year.....

[RC3]

Can you tell me about the three coming in? And why are we redshirting kids right now when we really could use a few more bodies

[tcdog70]

Has Ray signed a guard over 6'?.

It will be over in about a month!

Still no shooters next year or someone who can knock down a 3 . Dunlap is supposed to be able to knock down some buckets but I think it will take a little while before he adjust to the college game. We need some more Barry Stewart, Ravern Johnson, Timmy Bowers, Shane Power types. Guys who can bust a zone after a couple of trips down the court

[HailState39110]

I post that and they show a stat on TV that our first 28 points were scored from the post or foul line

[chef dixon]

We are bringing in 5 new bodies next year and only losing a soft big body in Borchert. If Ray can't take that team to the NIT next year, not sure about his ability to bring in the right guys. Keep in mind, we won't be young and inexperienced next year.

Don't expect much in the scoring department from the 3 signees or the 2 guys redshirting. Dunlap is the only guard and he's extremely limited. Black is tall and that's it (averaged around 8 pts/game in high school). Houston (best of the signees) is decent. About the 4th or 5th best prospect in Alabama but not a shooter. Picks up most of his points around the basket.

The other 2 are Ndoye, a 6'9" C who'll basically be another body down low but definitely not a scorer and Daniels, a JUCO forward that was his teams 3rd leading scorer last year at 11 pts/game.

Stick to Golf, Please.

We will have to spend some money to keep Ray.

[Dawgbite]

Watching this basketball team is very similar to watching us line up for a field goal!

[dogshiek]

^Dawgbite is right. ^ Can't hit a jump shot or a field goal.

[chef dixon]

Steele and Wendell would have been pretty valuable assets to this team the more you watch us play.

Based on what? I don't deal in hypotheticals, I go off actualities. Its funny, how people get their feathers ruffled easily when you don't conform. And for the record, I was a SG for a state-runner up team, my college roommate played on a MSU final four team, and I can't stand Stansbury (for the people who automatically assume if you're not a Ray fan then you must be a Stans fan). So I think I know the sport fairly well thank you.

I never said Ray wasn't a good coach; I just don't think he can recruit.

You roommates with Whit Hughes or Bart Hyche?
