Our starting five probably matched up with or were better than half the teams in the SEC. It's the 17'ing depth that got us
I like your thinking on this I have to strongly disagree. Maybe Auburn and South Carolina this year. Next year maybe half of the conference

Disagree. We need a major upgrade down low to be competitive in the league. I hope Ndoye pans out, because we need his size desperately.
We can build off this year, though. If Borchert and Thomas can continue to improve their stroke, this team will improve quite a bit next year. Hopefully, the injured players will help cut down on the turnovers.
We'll be fine down low next season if indeed Lewis is returning. Ndoye needs to redshirt. But we need to sign some size in this next class for sure.
Next year we should be a 16-18 win team. Having actual PG's, plus just the growth of the Freshmen to Sophomores will be huge in itself. Ray has showed quite a bit this year and deserves a big pat on the back and another year extension
I dunno about Lewis. He still has not showed me much more than just being a body on the court. Other than his timely bucket to allow us to hear Jack wrap it one last time, I can't remember any game where he showed me anything more than a guy who should be playing at South Alabama, not the SEC.
Agreed about Ray.
I think our starting 5 matches up about even with USC & Auburn. But there's no way in this world if we played 5 on 5 against every team on our schedule we wouldn't have won a few more games.
You just said we needed some bigs down low, but then you act like you could take or leave Lewis? I think Lewis is a huge factor going into next year. There were a few games just before his injury, where it looked like a switch may have flipped for Lewis. If he comes back, and that switch is on to where he gives us everything he has next season...we could possibly make the NIT. Obviously, it's not all on Lewis, but if we're going to compete, we need a shot blocker and a good rebounder. Lewis provides that for us, and can even be good on offense from time to time.
OK, Mrs. Lewis. I don't see your son as the answer to our problems down low.
Far from "Mrs Lewis", just pointing out the contradiction in your posts. We need bigs...Lewis is a big, and an experienced one. Just sayin, sorry if I upset you.
Just don't see 16 wins! You are counting on a PG coming off ACL surgery that when he was healthy signed with North Florida[I bet you cant even tell me where North Florida is located, hell , I didnt know they had a basketball team]. Next, dont count on Applewhite, another ACL who one of our assistants told us cant play in SEC. Steele- now 2 ACLs, enough said. Ndoye is at best a project. HC at UALR told a buddy Ready is not good enough to compete in SEC. We HAVE to recruit better! Our talent base is not good.Unless ray runs someone off, he says he is done with recruiting this year, another direct quote from Ray himself. We just need more players1
The Recruiter recruited him. Obviously he's better than anyone Ray could bring in. Obviously.

Well, he probably is better than anyone that Ray has committed so far. But hopefully that will change.
