You don't think that this year's team is fundamentally better than last year's?

Wouldn't surprise me at all if we end up being better overall than last year. We're young so obviously a lot remains to be seen, but 6 seed isn't crazy for what these guys have shown early so far.


We are on that pace currently but I think that 6 spot is probably close to peek in a good year. A 6 seed is basically in that 20-24 ranking range.

Do you mean that as the possible peak for this year or in general?

I think 6 is close to the peak for the team this year. The prediction is definitely on the high end of possible performance.

Just this year.

If I had to guess this group has the highest peak of any of his teams. Might not see that true form until 2-3 years though.

Undoubtedly. It really sucks we aren't going to have Gafford for when all these piglets are upper classmen.

This is what really makes me wonder if some of it is going to be wasted. Need another athletic big like him but that isn't going to be easy to find. Maybe Pigfeet's favorite player will step up a little next year with more time under his belt.

Are you saying Lebron James Jr. aka Ethan Henderson isn't going to lead us to a national title?

Not so sure about that, I think 3 back to back to back final fours is the ceiling for him.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean we will be a 6 seed in the tourney, or even an 8 seed...

And I thought you weren't going to get too excited yet.

Just messing with ya man!

yeah, because we're not looking to sign any centers.

Ali is obviously redshirting this year. may never be great, but he'll be a good 6-10 body to rotate inside. landing Doudou ( ) and following that up with Jaylin Williams and we'll be fine.

Correct

Doo Doo is a 6'9" forward

J. Will might be Mike's only hope.

Doudou is tall and can play wherever he wants.
