Anyone watching?

Mark Smith has been deadly outside. Tilmon strong inside.

Pinson, Pickett and Watson getting minutes. Pickett started. Watson hasn't looked too good yet. Hopefully just jitters.

First real look at Mitchell Smith and he has looked outclassed so far.

Nikko has looked solid as a back up role.

Geist is Geist.

Halfway through the first half at least.

Maybe. Sucks they lost Jontay. Mark Smith stepping up would be huge. I'm guessing Santos is still hurt. Haven't seen him yet.

We’re going to be atoning for the sins of Kim Anderson this year, I’m afraid.

Yup, last year just kind of postponed the rebuilding process.

We don’t appear to have anybody who can get their own bucket, nor anybody you can really create for others. I expect we’ll play tough defense, but we are going to be limited (to be kind) on offense it appears:

With Jontay, we could’ve eked out a bubble-type season. It’s gonna be rough without him.

Exactly where I’m at. Jontay, cliche as it sounds, is the type of guy who can make others around him better.

Any chance by February these guys are playing nasty perimeter D and scoring enough in the paint to scratch out a few conference road wins?

Tough to say. Awfully young on the wing.

I’d guess we’re two years away from being a team that Cuonzo feels comfortable with.

We just have a dearth of experienced talent.

At least through an opening game against Central Arky, it sure seems like the core of the offense is going to be Tilmon and M. Smith. It would be really nice if Santos can come in and contribute in a big way.

The youngsters are still a step slow. Bit underdeveloped. They will have their games, but I don't think you can rely on Pickett, Watson or Pinson on a daily basis.

The problem is the SEC is almost as tough in basketball as football now.

There’s no easy road wins. There won’t be many easy home games.

I’m going to estimate 5-7 conference wins. We could end up like 14-16.

Puryear looks like he’s playing with a women’s ball.

I think Watson will have some big games, but he’ll be inconsistent.

Pickett actually looks better than I thought he would. Smart, gritty player with a nice stroke. I can see why Zo likes him.

Pinson is for sure athletic, but he has a LONG way to go. His handle is really bad. He’s going to get abused by experienced SEC guards.

Watch ESPN is useless to me. So I’ll just watch highlights. Any upcoming games on SEC Network?
