Very Proud Of The Team

Fantastic job today. Other than the end of the first half, we played Memphis neck and neck the entire game.

Looking to next year we will have to replace Watson, Davis, Ruffin and Young. Bell has the potential to step up and take over as the leader of this team, Wooden, Williams and Howerton will man the middle and hopefully Mangrum will develop and Dennis will play to his potential. Sturns is the wildcard. If he can learn to slow down, play under control and let the game come to him, he could be fantastic. Stewart should continue to develop and hopefully Edwards gets his everything in order so that he can concentrate on basketball and school.

Jackson is an unknown but hopefully he will be fully recovered from his injury to add depth to the frontcourt. Any chance he could earn a redshirt for this past year?

JJ need's to find a backup PG for Bell quickly, some young size for the middle to team with Howerton in the next few years and some pure shooters.

I thought JJ put together a nice gameplan today and coached an outstanding game. If we continues this trend and continues to recruit as he has in the past, we should have a fantastic future.

Great summary. I especially agree on getting a replacement for Bell. Point guard play is maybe the most important thing in college basketball. Bell has really grown into the role this season, but he only has one more.
