That's right. Still a pretty good roster there. Lots of experience, blended with talent. That could be a scary team.

Avery jr too.lol I cringed when he drove to the basket against Faulkner 3 or 4 times, and entirely missed the rim 2 or 3 times. Hopefully he was just having an off night and trying too hard being 1st game in front of our crowd.

Unless he just loves being a part of our program and not playing time, I think there's no doubt he will transfer. There's going to be absolutely no playing time for him after this class arrives.

What I really like about Sexton is his attitude and competitiveness. From the videos and interviews I've seen he works very hard on his game and hates to lose. Give me a player who hates to lose over one that loves to win any day.

Here's my way too early prediction for 2017-18:

PG - Ingram, AJjr
SG - Sexton, Davis
SF - Norris, Petty, Jones
PF - Key, King, Reese
C - Hall, Giddens, Smith

So hard to do this with the depth we have. I'd say outside of Sexton (and maybe Key) there isn't a guaranteed starter at the moment.

I'll probably still be as high tomorrow as I am right now! Wait, that didn't sound good.lol I will still be as excited as I am right now! Thank goodness the season is finally here, and we starting with a bang! To those able to go to the game, let our staff know how boss they are! Let's get Coleman rocking again! Hopefully we will have our new arena by 19 at the latest. Talks right now of a smaller arena, around the 10 thousand number. No reason to keep upgrading coleman . Get a state of the art smaller arena tk make it louder, so where we can actually have a home court advantage. Avery wsnts this done more than anything else right now,so there's no reason for the university to not get it done. He got the players tonight to change our program, it's time for them to get him his arena!

Yeah, the only thing I might would have different is king starting at the 3 instead of riley. I want to see king for several games first though. But yeah, it would be hard to keep him out as the starter with him being a senior. That or Petty if he works and wants it bad enough, he can start at the 3 from day 1, but it will be up to him how bad he wants it. No taking off plays, the anti riley norris should I say.

Like Petty but defensively and strength wise he might not be able to start but they said kd wasn't strong enough either so what do I know lol. I think he and riley coming off the bench could help with those scoring droughts we tend to have.

Kentucky wanted him that's good enough for me.

Well I'm guessing this is the end of thisthread..2017 class wrapped and under the tree ready to be opened and off-season officially over as we begin the march to the NCAAT.

Was this a joke? lol. This is a horrible guess at the 2017/18 line up. I'd say it's more like this....

PG- Dazon Ingram/Collin Sexton/Avery Jr
SG- A'rmond Davis/Herb Jones
SF- Nick King/John Petty
PF- Braxton Key/Riley Norris/Alex Reese
C- Donta Hall/Daniel Giddens/Galin Smith
