Know this is all probably in the thread but don’t have time to go through entire thing.
1. Bruce implemented a post season self ban. Got it. Does that include SECT?
2. What’s latest on Shariffe?
3. Are there other NCAA issues that we’re worried about?
4. Are we a better team than we were expecting?

1. Yea
2. Honestly not much other than that there seems to be vague hints of positive momentum from random message board posters
3. No
4. About what most were expecting. We will struggle against veteran teams but ridiculously talented and Bruce is molding them as you’d expect a great coach to do.

Appreciate it. The self ban is a result of the Persons shite, correct? Will this be the end of it?

Correct

Should be the worst of it. We could see Bruce suspended for a few games or something and I would think worst case is the loss of a couple scholarships.

My son told me he warmed up with the team today. But he was in street clothes on the sideline. I think it’s positive that he’s still around

This group may develop into a serious threat next year.

I totally didn't expect us to look this good right now. We're young, so we can fall apart, but dang. We look good.

It's a NCAA quality team this year, but yes 40-0 ship next year.

From what little I have seen this early, You are correct, this team even without a point could make a run...yeah I get but don't agree with the self ban. Also, may have been smart to do if it becomes tedious with some of these states about the COVID shutdown stuff. We need peeps in seats but this team looks really good given how young they are.

I think the quiet arena has definitely helped to quicken this team's development. Bruce is coaching the entire time and the team can hear him on O and on D for the entire floor.

Dumb question, but can we still be ranked this year with a post season ban?

I know we’ve discussed it a good bit, but OSU kind of forced us into the ban unfortunately.

Sharif warming up is a big step. This could be a sign because he has not been practicing. (I was told he had, but that was incorrect). Hopefully he is cleared for SEC play, that is the current hope.

How can you say that?

This team when it gets to the SEC, because they are so young is going to take its lumps.

I can think they could be a bubble team, but without Sharife, I don't think they would have made the NCAA...

I was disappointed when I heard about the self imposed ban but after I thought about it I really feel it might be a good decision due to the Covid situation.

I have been watching other teams in the league and they don't look that good and some are struggling in some games, so it will be an interesting season.
