This basketball team is a year away

[Ari Gold]

College BB has changed! ALL teams are 'young'! Players that are good leave after one year; two years at best. Players that used to stick around and improve, now hit the portal!

But having those one or 2 upperclassmen , who are both NBA talent is. A huge deal
Example Bama
Herb and Petty both would have gotten drafted last year , but came back
Take those 2 guys off that team it’s a whole different looking Bama team
Leading scorer Petty
Best all around player Herb ( might be sec POY) and prob first rounder

Then mix in a 5 star freshman , and 2 4 star sophomores that don’t have to carry the load every night and your result is a 2 or 3 seed in the ncaa tourney as of now .

Just like this is would have been a different looking state team with Woodard back .. which prob ever one on our staff thought would be here for 3 years when we signed him..
But he isn’t and that’s the hand you are dealt .

So next year with a Jr combo of Iverson and Dj
With Smith and Cameron getting that freshman year out of the way ( look at the improvement DJ and Iverson made after year one )
And Tulo with another year. Post starting to show promise
Maybe pic up a grad transfer ( would love for it to be a knock down shooter or a extend 4 with range) maybe one the freshman this year make that step and get those minutes
Maybe we have a incoming freshman ready for some minutes

Next year could be special if they return.. And this year ain’t over yet .. outside of Bama ( who we played well) There isn’t much separation ... lsu, mizzu, tenn are prob in, a handful of bubble teams, and some that could make a run..


And with your reasoning, what coach could we get to come here that would pull the players CBH and the staff do.. ?
We are finally putting guys in the league..
You keep doing that players will come
