All of you peasants will be bowing down in awe as the Big Three of Simmons, Newman, and Blakeney, along with the returning M&M Boys, Swaggy Q, Keith "The Real Hendo" Hornsby, Jalyn Patterson, Craig "The Prodigal Son" Victor and the rest of the crew turn every fricking game into their own personal dunk contest. Might as well not even play next season cause it's gonna be Johnny Jones cutting down the nets come next March. And frick that "One Shining Moment" bullshite, when we win we're gonna blast "We Out Chea" by the Patron Saint of LSU sports and Baton Rouge's favorite son, Boosie MF Badazz.

You'll have Arkansas going as fast as possible with OM, UK, Auburn, and hopefully Bama as teams that will get up and run as well. Some good coaches, with pretty good facilities.


This suits us as well. We start sucking when we slow down

The easy solution would be to have all of the schools who will never be elite at football (Mississippi State, Missouri, Ole Miss, South Carolina, Vandy) put all of their resources into basketball. It's not a coincidence that most of the college basketball blue bloods (Kansas, Indiana, Duke, Kentucky) are atrocious at football. Unless you are the #1 school in a state stocked to the gills with athletic talent like a Florida or Texas, it's virtually impossible to be elite in both football and basketball at the same time. You have to pick and choose the sport you want to be good at. If it's extremely unlikely for your school to be elite at football without hitting the lottery at head coach like TCU with Patterson, you might as well pool all of our resources and try your luck at basketball instead.

Yea Auburn is really bringing in the elite recruits


Not to the extent LSU or A&M is which is why I had them separately, but their total ranking is 12th according to 247, and I have very little doubt Bruce will be able to bring in good players to Auburn.

Have at least one conference game on schedule every night of the week (maybe < Sunday).

That's all I got.

Things are already looking up for SEC MBB.

Arkansas is doing very well. LSU has continued to get better each year in JJ short tenure. Ags are doing well now and in recruiting. Auburn made a fantastic hire and I think AU will be gradually moving up in next 2-4 years. Fox seems to have UGA contending now. UK and UF have best two MBB programs.

Where improvement needs to happen: (1) Mizzou. Lawdy they need some talent infused in Columbia. (2) Vandy should be better next season. (3) Alabama needs a new HC and needs a good hire. (4) I am clueless about State and Carolina except both HC's do not seem to have what it takes to win in the SEC. (5) Jury out on Tyndall at UTenn.

Expand again and add Duke and UNC to the SEC to close out expansion at 16 schools. Adds the Charlotte media market and instantly makes the SEC the top conference for all three major sports.

Sorry nobody will be bowing down to Simmons and Blankeney. Newman is all UK or KU and the M&M boi's are going to the draft. Plus your coach is Johnny lol Jones.

ETA: Frank Mothfricka Martin is bringing in an elite recruiting class. We will finish top 3 in the SEC. Mark it down chumps.

LSU - pulling in some great recruits. Could be a power next season. Just gotta hope Jones doesn't screw up. But with that talent, would he even have to coach that much?


Didn't read thread, just read this and it rustled me.

Do people even remember the NBA pre-Bird/Johnson? After the ABA/NBA merged, the street-ball style took over. Essentially, it was a bunch of guys on the court -- it wasn't a team. Bird and Johnson made passing cool. This was especially important, because it laid the foundation for guys to run very complicated plays instead of "give the ball to Julius."

tl;dr yes dammit coaching is important
