We have a bunch of young talent, but lost our senior leaders.
We are still coached by Billy Kennedy, so I think we pretty much peaked last year. I expect underachievement.

State is going to surprise some people this year. Going to be one of, or the best team in the west. The hump is going to be rockin

Bama will be improved. Probably won't be world beaters, but I think we'll make the tourney.

Auburn will be somewhere between the NIT and NCAA. I'm going into the season thinking NIT is most likely. Next season I expect Auburn to at least make the 2nd round.

We'll see if Alabama stays committed to limiting any atmosphere that might exist in Sewell Thomas

Are they bringing in a lot impact freshman? Ready is the only returner that I recognized on their roster.

I'm optimistic but not really sure what to expect. Hannahs and Kingsley will be the obvious go-to guys and Barford at PG should be an upgrade. Dustin Thomas transferring from Colorado has to be better than anything we trotted out at PF last year.

they brought in a top 10 recruiting class with 6 top 100 players. weatherspoon returns and is already one of the better guards in the league.

UK will be UK
UF and A&M should be #2 and #3 in some order
Vandy, Georgia, and Arkansas should be bubble teams. Alabama and Ole Miss should be NIT level. Mississippi State and Auburn are mysteries in that both have a lot of young talent but no one knows if they'll actually be any good.
South Carolina and LSU will both take big steps backwards
Missouri and Tennessee will both flat-out suck

I think UGA should be decent with JJ Frazier and Yante Maten leading the way, but I think we need our younger players to develop greatly in order to compete with the best in the conference.

Moses Kingsley might end up as the SEC POTY. He reminds me of Hakeem when at Houston. If that happens, the Hogs will be tough to beat.

ehh i'm optimistic. AJ has been recruiting lights out (in UA basketball terms). i think we'll finally have some depth to go with the talent. hoping for a NCAA tourney bid.

Bubble, looking forward to the season and seeing what Coach Drew brings to the table. Been pretty impressed with him as a recruiter thus far.

Auburn should be fun to watch. As much potential as I can ever remember. A lot of new faces, so it will be interesting to see how long it takes them to gel. I think we have a solid chance at the NIT, maybe even better.
