Don't post much but some guys on here need a realization of the basketball team. This team is going to struggle this year, it's that simple. As every announcer who calls our games says "this is one of the youngest teams in the country. " Our freshman are good but they're not Kentucky good. Difference is Kentucky guys will be gone next year and ours will be back and much improved.
This team will be entirely better next year. Replacing Ready (the last of the Ray era )with a 5 star Atheltic guard in Lil Spoon and also adding another 6'8 and 6'9 post. We should be excited about Coach Brooks son. He is already in better physical shape than any post guy on our team and is a true 4 man, a position we have been missing. Oh yeah, we re also adding 6'11 Ado who probably needed a year to sit out anyways to get ready. This also balances out the classes a little bit since we had such a huge freshman class last year.
Carter still looks like a freshman in high school. Another year in weight room will be huge for him.
Herard is still very raw, small things like catching the ball. He will continue to improve each game.
Peters- fun to watch already, has to be smarter on both ends.
Stapleton- hopefully his knee is fine Bc we need his length and athleticism on the wing.
Kegler- needs to except his role and buy into the team and he could be a special player
If Holman shoots another 3 Howland should kick him in the nuts. He's 3-18
Q- I'm not a doctor but we need to do whatever is best for him to play 100% next year. If surgery doesn't matter right now then let him play.
As far as the attendance goes, I didn't read the d bag article on the hump. Anyone who likes Bonner is an idiot. The guy is negative all the time, some recruits follow him and see this BS and you can see why that Isn't good.
As soon as the team starts winning the crowd will come. Yes the distance hurts for some people living in Jackson etc.. But if that's the case then why wasn't the usm/state game in Jackson sold out?
As Al Davis said "Just win baby" and the crowd will come. No one wants to see us lose to East Tennessee State.
I love the Hump, but it's time for a major facelift. The wife sometimes get free club level tickets to ole miss bball games from her work. Being 15 minutes away, I try and be a good husband and take her to just a FEW games. Went to the Kentucky practice at the pavilion last week, Enjoyed the hell out of it. The club level seating is nice though, all the food you can eat then have your own locker to store your whiskey/ choice of your cocktail with free soda drinks to mix. I think this could also help with attendance, as people wouldn't waste these tickets and at least give them to someone. Who doesn't like free food/drinking whiskey and watching collegiate athletics.
That's just my two cents
I'm excited about the future of this team though.
Ps if you have tickets and don't go, give them to someone who will.
Have a good weekend
