Also, Dick move to add A&M with the edit. Buzz is going to do work.

When is Okeke back and is he 100%? Thats a huge part of Auburns puzzle next year. If he is back by SEC play and 100% I think Auburn wins SEC...if later and not healthy, I think round of 32 is their ceiling.

We will be very, very thin. But what we do have will have decent experience. We are only losing one starter.

Torn ACL in late March means there's no way he's back full speed before conference play I wouldn't think. Most NBA guys have taken 6-9 months to get back.

Who cares right now, are y’all not so burnt out on basketball? Maybe it’s just me but after a sporting season ends I’m burnt out to the point I don’t even wanna talk about it for at least a few months and am on to the next sport. I’m locked in on baseball and football now

VOLS need some frontcourt help if Williams stays in the draft. Grad transfer market will be huge.

Did you not recruit anyone that can fill in?

DJ Burns was a 4* freshman last year who redshirted and he will get a chance but I don't think the frontcourt depth beyond Williams really matches what they should have in the back court. With Bowden, Turner, James and possibly Bone in the backcourt you don't want to rely on Fulkerson and a bunch of young guys up front. You have to go get some older guys who are proven.

If you're assuming Mississippi State gets Peters, Perry, and Nick Weatherspoon all back I'd throw them into the top tier. Couldn't see them missing on the tourney with that roster.

We’ll be a LOT more guard heavy. I expect Bowden and Turner will have to carry a lot more of the scoring burden. Hopefully Josiah James can ball out right out of the gate as well.

Really excited to see what Crean can do with Edwards and the rest of our new recruits. Could very well see us making the tourney

Is he? They return Chucky Mitchell, Savion Flagg, T.J. Starks, Josh Nebo, Brandon Mahan and possibly Admon Gilder. It's highly likely that Blackshear from Virginia Tech transfers (Grad Transfer) as well.

The talent was there last season. It was blatantly obvious that they were poorly coached.

Coaching was the reason A&M lost to UC Irvine, Texas Southern, Washington, Minnesota, Arkansas at home, Missouri at home, at Ole Miss, both games to South Carolina and at Florida. That's the difference between 14-18 (6-12) and 25-7 (12-6)

It's just way too early, so much roster changeover still to happen.
