What??
I didn't stutter. I might have been a bit hyperbolic with the mid tier comment, but my point remains. Who on this team do we depend on for a bucket?

So you've watched them "play a bit" now you think you're an expert on what THIS newly constructed team will be. Boy have a seat. Especially after acknowledging that everything changes if Tahaad leaves. And we don't know what Tahaad would be as a full-time starter and leader of this team since we haven't seen that yet either. He's still really young compared to what we've had in that role.

Apparently the reason this dude kept saying beggars can't be choosers is because he doesn't have a clue about the talent we've picked up, or how to evaluate talent, or both.
Webster Dictionary:
"beggars can't be choosers"
—used to say that people who need something should be satisfied with what they get even if it is not exactly what they wanted.
Need me to hold your hand and walk you through the rest or can you take it from here?
Nyc-
Using your projected starting 5, we've got 2 players with SEC experience (Pet and Hall) and only one more with D1 experience (Overton). It took most of our lower level players at least a season to become somewhat consistent and reliable if they did at all. Just like our football team, I'm gonna have to see it with this squad first.
I do like the overall size of this line-up compared to this years, but this team feels like a collection of missed opportunities after such a great season. We had chances to get proven top tier calibur players in the portal. Guys you could build a team around, but we didn't. Do you think this team has that guy? Pettiford... maybe?

Do we have a starting 5?? Outside of Tahaad I'm not sure, and he's not guaranteed to be here yet. Even if we do have a starting 5, my concern is who gives us production off the bench. Right now this team feels like a mid tier NIT squad. It's not where I thought we'd be after such a historic run this year.

Dylan Cardwell was 260lbs and one of the best defenders on the team. Would we be getting a great defender in Scott? Its a real question because i don't know. If not, I guess beggars can't be choosers.

I was more concerned with rebounds and a strong presence in the paint but point taken.

James Scott from Louisville is visiting. I don't remember seeing him play but his bio shows he has good length and put up decent numbers
In the ACC tournament against Duke, he had 2 rebounds and 6 points. He's 6'11. Beggars can't be choosers I guess.

He had nowhere to hide anyway. Year three was the line he drew in the sand.

It'll end when we start winning.

Marijane Jones on page 3 was busted for weed. I blame her parents. She had no chance from the start with that name.

I love that we're in an era of AU sports where so many good things are happening. I didn't even know spring practice had started.

Free throws will be the death of this team.

I've never seen an overall #1 team look more unmotivated to play. Did something happen behind the scenes the past few weeks???

Sometimes this team is hard to watch on offense.

If Chaney and Miles don't pick up their play, it won't matter much who we play after the first few games.

I'm at a work event in Tuscaloosa this weekend... at the Hotel Capstone in the middle of campus... during what is being considered the worst potential weather event since the 2011 tornados. If hell is worse than this, everyone should find religion.
I was hoping bama would lose to KY so I could dance on their logo at Bryant museum. At lead we won. Guess I'll be huddled in a basement watching our boys on my phone at noon.
