Message: [QUOTE="Hopkins16, post: 5133130, member: 3893"] I think the upcoming season is very crucial for us as we need to perform well in conference play, and make the tournament in order to attract top recruits. Freeman will also need to be a stud and be a lottery pick. If these things happen, it will prove to recruits that the program is heading in the right direction and we can turn top recruits into one and done lottery picks. This will give us a shot at '25 guys who are committing late, top players in the portal, and '26 prospects. Right now, we are still at a disadvantage going up against the premier programs for guys like Acaden, but we have done well getting Freeman and Sadiq White into the fold. If we lose Acaden, we still have a good chance of getting solid players as Coach Autry and staff are out there recruiting and casting a wide net as opposed to focusing on a handful of players like we did near the end of JB's tenure. So much hinges on this upcoming season. [/QUOTE]
