We're going to miss Roberson and Green more than people think, but we have the vast majority of our production returning, and we have a top 5 recruiting class coming in. If one or two of the freshmen can make a difference, then we could very will be legit contenders in the SEC next year.

If Jones & House return with our 4 stud recruits then I will feel like shite becuase it will mean a potentially "special" (football school standards) team with be coached by Kennedy into hopefully a 1 and done NCAA birth. That birth will keep Kennedy in his job for another 2 years where he can ruin more good teams.

Auburn is bringing in a juco shooting guard that averaged over 20 ppints a game during his first year in juco. Also have a point guard sitting out as a transfer from Marshall. A lot of talk that he would have been Auburn's best player this year if he had been eligible to play

We will be young and inexperienced, but hopefully will have the talent to make an nit run.

About the same as this year. Until Fox can recruit better players, we will never be a consistent NCAA tourney contender.



Recruiting is improving for Fox. With that said, losing Nemi and Marcus will be a big blow. I think we're a bubble team next year, but if I had to put money on it I'd lean toward NIT unfortunately. Hope I'm wrong!

aTm will have a good team next year just at a quick glance at the roster and recruiting.

I think Mickey stays for LSU, and if so, I think will be a preseason top 10 team.

Extremely good. Hopefully this run in the NIT continues a few more games and gets our young guys some added tournament experience.

Vandy will lose:
James Siakam - 8.9 PPG 5.8 RPG (& a great leader)
Josh Henderson - 2.3 PPG 1.3 RPG
Shelby Moats - 1.1 PPG 1.0 RPG

Vandy will return:
Damian Jones - 14.6 PPG 6.5 RPG 2.0 BPG
Riley LaChance - 12.6 PPG 3.2 RPG 2.9 APG
Wade Baldwin - 9.0 PPG 4.0 RPG 4.4 APG 1.5 SPG
Luke Kornet - 8.5 PPG 3.5 RPG 1.1 APG 1.0 BPG
Matthew Fisher Davis - 6.8 PPG 2.3 RPG 1.3 APG
Jeff Roberson - 4.6 PPG 3.1 RPG 1.2 APG
Shelton Mitchell - 4.2 PPG 1.9 RPG 3.2 APG

Vandy will add (top 25 recruiting class according to ESPN)
Djery Baptiste - 7'0 C
Camron Justice - 6'2 G prolific shooter and Mr. Basketball in Kentucky
Joseph Toye - 6'7 SF
Samir Sehic - 6'9 PF 2x All State in Texas

& Cornell Transfer - Supposedly the best player on the court in practice this year.
Jr.Nolan Cressler - 17 PPG as a Soph (scored 29 on Syracuse)

Richardson was so damn good, thought he was without a doubt the best guard in the league this year. UT has a Mizzou like season without him IMO.

Yep, until this NCAA shite gets cleaned up, we can't recruit. We're in limbo until further notice.

About the same as this past year. Hopefully Saiz takes a bunch of roids during the offseason and becomes a freak of nature

Izzo will bring in a top 20 class this fall and be able to have an Elite Eight kind of year. Then look out.
Teams will fear our BB squad just like they do our FB team.

I think so, if Stallings misses the tourney with the group he will have to work with next year he has to be out IMO.

This years recruiting class is the best class we've ever had. I know we'll be better but I think we'll only be NIT good. They following year we may be NCAA tourney good, but who knows.

possibly Top 10
Would need Malik to commit and Mickey or Martin to come back. Y'all could be scary good and knock UK off the top of the SEC next year if that happens.
