Tell me more about your team sir.

Like the other top teams in the league, loads of talent, lot of new faces. Miller was getting hyped as the best of the bunch, former near 5-star from Illinois x-fer. He's out for seaosn unfortunately.

Justice Williams was a 5-star 2022 kid who reclassed to 2021 (and dropped like every reclass does). He's been banged up and not practicing, dont know what the status is of him for the start of the season in a couple weeks.

So at this point it looks like we could be really light on guards with the injury to Miller and no word on Williams playing. Leaves us with Pinson (from Mizzou), Gaines from last year here and Murray (who has gotten some real hype himself) a true freshman at guard. Hopefully Williams can come back relatively soon here. We play Nicholls saturday.

Lots of bigs though. Reid should be a star out the gate (freshman 5 star center). Days is someone everyone knows of if you watch SEC basketball at all. Eason is a xfer from Cincinnati who has looked impressive early on. Wilkinson is a swing guy who started a good bit of games last year and his offense is supposed to be greatly improved. O'Neal like always is banged up and who knows if he can give you anything. Then a few freshmen in Fudge, Ezewiro and Colbert who will give some but maybe not much minutes.
