Good article, but the writer seems to think Hale graduated.

It surprised me as well. He's a stud. It's really going to hurt if we don't land him with as much attention as we've given him in this thread

Yeah other than that one mistake, it was a solid read. Like Johnson has continued to say, we should be a much deeper team. Hopefully that leads to more wins and a real shot at the tourney.

Bryant, you really should change that picture and photoshop Pelphrey where Pospichal was. Get with the times, man!

I never post from a computer so I forgot I had that. I don't know how to photoshop but if someone will edit it for me, I'll change it.

He is delaying his decision to sometime "early" fall. Hank thinks he had a school set in his mind going into the visit, and after the visit he wasn't so sure he was ready to commit to them anymore. Speculation, but I doubt it's that far off. He and his family were pleasantly surprised by the visit. Seems like it was a little more than they expected.

I like the fact that he can shoot but I'd rather have Reese and the kid from Auburn

Since AAU started, it's not crazy to say he's been the best HS player in the country. The longer he takes to decide though, the less confident I'll become. I know he said that he favors the schools that have been recruiting him longest, but resisting the allure of a UK or Duke offer is definitely a tough task. Ferguson also said he committed to us because he wanted to start something special and a few months later Judas-kissed us to commit to blue-blood Arizona.

We don't speak the name of "He Who Must Not Be Named" in this thread again. I've gotten really tired of seeing his face and hearing his stupid nickname (T-Ferg) lol

Just want to talk basketball bc I'm bored:

I told everyone last year that we wouldn't make the dance and I would be happy with the NIT. That was a realistic goal and it happened. Even when we were 16-9 and on the bubble or in the tourney according to some, I still didn't get my hopes up too much. Of course I did a little, but not a lot. Now after seeing one year of Avery's coaching I'll make my yearly prediction. This year will be a little better than last year and we WILL make the tourney. I think we'll play whoever we get really, really close and have a good shot at winning a game in the tourney. Of course I can't predict what'll happen bc idk who we would play but I say we finish like 21-11, 22-10 or something close to that and make the tourney.

What do y'all think?

USA won 96-56. Sexton was the best player of this tourney by far. I think he was the leading scorer in this game. Don't know the final numbers

Edit: Sexton had 16 points and 8 assists. Second leading scorer.

He won MVP of the tourney and made the all tourney team

I think that's a spot on assessment. I think we may have a little more upside surprise in us than people think. We aren't going to the Final Four yet but I think we may shock a big boy or two this year. Bigger than last year.

I just keep telling myself, if we can win 18 games with that group we had last year, then we should win AT LEAST 20 this year bc we basically return the whole team and add a few really good players. The players we add are all players with high talent level too, not just left over players. Technically, missing the NCAA tourney this year shouldn't be a disappointment bc it's still a rebuilding point but with the success we've had in year one, it kinda would be a disappointment
