Define competing. We're not making the NCAA tourney but other than @UGA his list is all within the realm of possibility. Even with Simmons the talent gap between our programs shrunk compared to last season where we finished 2-1 vs JJ "coached" teams.

Who all do yall have coming back? I was thinking yall lost a pretty good bit from last year.


As for us, I would say bubble team. 22ish wins or so.

Then why enter a thread about it? Not everyone in the SEC is football or bust fans.

Simmons isn't the only elite piece we added.

5* Simmons
5* Blakney
Former 5* Victor(Transfer from Arizona)
4* Top 50 player Brandon Sampson.

I'm a bit tired of all the hype, but lack of ability to finish at the rim. Last year was a huge letdown, need a redemption title this year.

Prediction at 12-6 can "easily happen" yet zero shot of making NCAA tourney? Figure it out. 12-6 could be good enough for 2nd or 3rd this year in the conference, Auburn doesnt have the players yet, sorry.

He responded to me quoting that post, I dont care if he posted that or not. 12-6 is a ridiculous prediction especially "easily be", you wont be competing on that level next season.

Probably not, but he made his prediction a few posts earlier.

State's stock rose a lot for me after signing Holman at the last second, along with the Arkansas counterfeit scandal

11-7 is a best case scenario. Our non con is tough and we have a really inexperienced team so we are going to struggle early. With those losses plus a best case 7 losses in conference we aren't going to have the resume to make the tourney.

South Carolina will be the surprise of the SEC this year.

I've heard this one before. Hopefully that psychopath on your bench can keep it together this season.

People that actually know who LSU has know they will compete with Kentucky for best in the SEC. And i also am not sure if people understand what BenSimmons brings to the table. He's a 6'10 magic johnson PG.

But you also lost a 5* and 2 4* players. LSU improved their talent level but not as much as Auburn did.

I believe this is the first year that Frank Martin will have a full bench. That is how bad the program was when Frank got here.

We will be last in the SEC again.

Max of 15 wins.
12ish is more likely.
5ish conference wins.

I understand that it's a valid defense of Martin, but I find it hysterical when the rants laughs at Jones' body of work so far, when he walked into a shite situation himself.
