If Okoro were to come back for another season with those two

I think most would be shocked if Okoro left after this season. His offensive game would have to improve drastically. I think he will definitely improve, but he’s got a long way to for him to justify leaving after one year.

Those short highlight films they put on social media were pretty cool too.


I hope that the Athletic Dept knows to keep that framework the prior staff used to show those Highlight films. They were almost professional in their presentation and it was a big boost to the program.

Someone who has replaced those staff need to get on the stick :)

Or were they simply not replaced as part of the 10% cutbacks by AG...:(

You’re right.... but he’s a much more polished product coming in than I thought he’d be, especially offensively. Hell, his improvement from game one to game two was impressive.

I’d be surprised if Okoro comes back. He’s starting to generate a LOT of buzz in nba scouting circles as a lotto pick in 2020. Plus, the 2021 draft will be a “double draft” where it will be the only year that will have the normal amount of one and dones + high school entrants

His defensive game alone warrants a place in the NBA. Even in the NBA Okoro has the skills to guard 1-4.

Look at somebody like Bruce Bowen who had virtually no offensive game, but his defense was so elite that he played 13 seasons in the NBA and was an important role player on 3 championship teams. Okoro has looked very solid on offense so far, we just have to see how consistent he can be. But Okoro definitely has shown at least the foundation of what can be a strong offensive game in the NBA, he's already better than someone like Bruce Bowen

Barring injuries, I’m guessing Akingbola and Jaylin Williams will likely RS

I don't know how many realize this but we were a 2.5 dog last night despite being thew ranked team. Time should prove this to be a real good win. Definitely a Tier 2 & maybe a Tier 1 win.

We were favored by 2.5, not dogs, but yeah that's still a lot closer than I would've thought

Weird. I looked at cover.com & they said we were a 2.5 dog. Now I see other sites had us as a 2.5 favorite.

4* Jaylin Williams has eliminated Texas A&M and will choose between Auburn and Arkansas. Would fill a big need but I fear he’s an Arky lean.

Also, Matthew Murrell picked Ole Miss. Not really surprised there...
