Thompson, Moore, Richardson, Hubbs, and Davis? Reese and Chievous off the bench? Things may not be so dire after all! Not even including the newcomers. Didn't Vandy play this season with 7 scholarship players?

Some holes I see are no backup PG and no true PF or C. Teams built like UK would eat us alive in the paint. Vandy played with 7 players, but to the tune of a losing record. We need some immediate contributors to join those 7.

I don't exactly think we should be aiming to be Vandy. We are the state university. We should be the best in every sport in the state.

But, no it is still dire. Running a press requires more subs to be effective.

That starting 5 would get killed on the boards.

You guys are going to be disappointed to see that our press will be used to eat clock so we can choke off their half court sets in a match up zone.

One of the characteristics of Tyndall's defensive style is that it is very aggressive and efficient in rebounding. Also I am not saying he shouldn't fill the roster. I am saying he already has a good base to build on.

So in your opinion anything less than 20 wins and NCAAT appearance would be a failure then, right?

Can almost guarantee that will not be our lineup. You can pencil in hubbs and Richardson obviously and I think Moore will start as well but depending on who is brought in will determine the other two spots.

Hasn't Chievous left the team. Thought he got released.

I think Thompson will make significant strides this off season and lock up the starting PG role.

Don't know what the season record will look like next year, but the defense will work hard and the team will have a lot of energy. CDT has me excited because he's excited.:rock:

Half the stuff he says does exactly the same thing! He doesn't like to be criticized for not being Tennessee's basketball guru. Can never admit he is wrong though it is half the time. Pretty arrogant for a 24 year old, also! I don't think he has a job unless he can post on it 24 hours a day.
