Too optimistic for 26-27

[buriat]

I don’t see where this super team is going to come from that would be significantly better than this year’s team. We made the elite eight. The odds we find a point guard better than Jacobi is extremely small. Likewise unlikely to get a 3 man better than Nate despite his challenges and to get a big as good as Felix you probably lose JP.
To be better we have to get a couple of great players not just some mid major shooters .

You need to chill the portal hasn't even opened up dude. We don't even know who all will enter it.

At this time last year we didn't even know we were going to get Nate Ament.

Gillespie would have just entered the portal a few days ago this time last year.

Not to hate on Okpara because he was a fine player but it won't be hard to replace 8 PPG and 6 RPG. He was a great defender, but not irreplaceable.

JP we don't even know if he's gone or not and if he is I'm sure it's the coaches decision and I trust them.

Wait until the summer and revaluate the team before you think the sky is falling.

We shall see. In the past few seasons, we have Seen CRB bring In Knecht, Lanier, Ament, and Gillespie. I like UT's chances of being able to land some instant impact guys. Three elite 8 runs in a row and getting Nate Ament drafted in the 1st round won't hurt either.

I don’t know anyone could read what I wrote and conclude I think “ sky is falling“. I do think most fans underestimate how difficult getting to the elite 8 is regardless how much money you have . Look at UK . Of course I am new to this since I have only been watching UT basketball since sixties.

If Coach Barnes hasn’t gained your trust by now, then he never will.

The Man wants a championship- not final four, a championship. Major donors Haslam sr) are opening their wallets for NIL- to build a better roster than this past season’s.

Agree! Barnes and his staff probably already have a plan and a list of players who they already know are probably portal bound. They haven’t done too bad so far.
