I think we all saw it. Good luck to him.

I hope Jones returns.
I think we will have Edwards, Buggs, Noland, Walker, Scott and Sissoko returning for sure.
I expect Cotton to return and be joined by the incoming duo of Taylor and Mason.
Stone is a toss-up to me but could provide valuable depth.
If the above occurs, that leaves us with three spots to fill. My wish list would be a true center, a PF and a "combo" F similar to Allen.
A true center is the top of my wishlist too. 6-11 or 7ft, just so we can see for once what someone with that size can do on this team.

I think Moore will leave and maybe Cotton. Both of the HS recruits we are bring in are guards and one is a point guard. If Jones, McCollum and Edwards stay, they won't have many extra minutes at the guard spots.
Well Edwards is out. Cotton redshirted so I can see him staying around this year to see if he can fit into the team.

I believe Colleges will soon have to go to playing-contracts with athletes before much longer, similar to the NFL. Mainly to lock up players from moving after each season.
The pay will have to be school-issued (but can be donor funded) with cap limits set on rosters determined by conference membership. Players can still sign endorsement deals outside the school playing contracts. But they can't leave for another school until either released from their current school contract, or stipulated buyout paid, or settlement agreement. Similar to NFL.
A buyout from another school would help the athlete to move up in conferences and help the losing school recruit his replacement.
Buyout clauses for NIL would be great for us. If we are going to develop and find them, might as well get a chunk of money for it.

Promotion and relegation would never happen in a million lifetimes. Why would any SEC team volunteer to be relegated and lose tens of millions of dollars? You'd never get any of those schools to agree to that.

I wish him the best, and hope he finds a place that he can flourish. I would not be surprised to see Moore go the same way, he did not get any playtime even when two starters were out. Stone also didn't see any playtime at the end of the year, so I wonder if he moves on as well.

If this team stays together we need a legit big man with post presence and an athletic power forward in the mold of Thomas Bell. If we get these 2 positions we are going to be looking very good next year.

Some days you eat the bear, and some days the bear eats you. All our guys can hit layups and free throws. Today they just didn't fall while we were playing against a very good team in a loud hostile environment.
Basketball Gods, please grant us the serenity to accept the things we cannot change, the courage to change the things we can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

The frustrating thing about today wasn't the loss, but not doing the simple things like making layups and timing our rebounds right. Too many times we seemed out of control and trying hard, but not playing smart. We really need to clean that kind of thing up because it's putting unneeded pressure on the team.

I posted this in another thread but a conference challenge would be good vs the MWC, like the ACC vs Big Ten or Big12 vs Big East. Use conference rankings at the end of the year to seed the match ups for next year.
2024 would be:
USF vs Utah State
FAU vs Nevada
Clt vs Boise St.
UAB vs UNLV
Memphis vs SDSU
UNT vs NM
ECU vs CSU
Tulsa vs Wyoming
Tulane vs Fresno
Temple vs SJSU
WSU vs AF

Which is another reason we have no identity when it comes to recognizing us by uniform. Different game, different uniform. Our primary color is green not black.
The only way to change it is to not offer the option. It's pretty clear the players love them for both FB and BB.

Fact or your opinion?
Opinion, but there is no other reason why we have seen the disproportionate amount of black compared to the other away jerseys.
Here's the breakdown for this year:
Black: 10
Green: 6
Grey: 4
Weirdly we wore the grey 3 times at home this year, and green would be 1 lower if we didn't wear them at home vs. SMU when we played them at home.

I've watched a few Kstate games and maybe I'm wrong, but you can tell TP's heart isn't in in. He plays hard, he tries hard, but he doesn't have that magic because he really did love UNT. Take that (or don't) however you want.

Will we ever wear green again?
Not as long as the players are picking the jerseys, which is clear that they are. They love the black jerseys.

Let build 3 more, one for mbb, one for wbb and a spare for random events
I still marvel that so many think that the legal ownership of the Spit is a significant factor in scheduling it's use.
The vast majority of all D1 basketball programs have a multi-use main basketball facility. I know this particular discussion is due to the scheduling conflict mentioned in the NIT broadcast. However, there is no guarantee and it is in fact likely that the same problem would exist if the Spit was an asset of the athletic department.
You're missing the point that the Pit would remain, and could be used for whatever university events they wanted to while a new arena would have the freedom to heavily prioritize men and women's basketball.

Probably but still. Ugh. Need a basketball only facility.
I don't want to hear anyone saying we don't need our own basketball facility.

B+ year for me. Lots of players to replace, new coach, new conference, lots of injuries. Hopefully we can find our rhythm as a team next year, and that we can up our caliber of recruiting. This is a very good league, and if we want to be at the top of it we need to win recruiting battles for sought after players.

Allen is a junior. Sissoko plays soft, has a nice finesse game but he needs to play angry. We could potentially bring everyone back but Allen, who leaves a big hole that has to be replaced.
Off topic, I will never buy Lululemon pants after today.
Allen is a junior? I thought he was a 5th year senior?

How did Goldin end up at FAU? I want to know their secret to lure a big? Is it Boca?
I'm more interested how UTSA lands a 7ft-er with the year they had before?

It's clear from so many close games this year that we just lack that little 10% to get us over the hump. Someone to put in a solid 6-8 points a game consistently. I don't know if that's another big since Sissoko had many games where he didn't get us anything, or another power forward with length that can drive, but we needed a little more consistency to make another run this year.

Some of it is just luck but its been wild how we went from elite in the clutch to just really bad in close games from last year to this one
To be fair replacing players like Perry and Huntsberry is very tough. It's one of those cliche things that say, "You can't coach clutch."

What Z said. And if for some reason he wasn't he'd have a long line of big name suitors with deep NIL pockets.
