There has been some concern by some that

[OrangeDW]

That’s a .500 team. Maybe.

10-20ish, IMO.

 

[JeremyCuse]

Assuming Frank is gone I really hope we aim higher then Ballard, he is not a D1 P5 player.

 

[JRHEETER]

Next years team is going to be catastrophically bad

It’s time to accept it and Hope football has it figured out

If we have to rely on the fball team we're really 'ed

 

[Jake]

Would hope the one player not confirmed by Dasher is Frank.

 

[tptcuse]

Would hope the one player not confirmed by Dasher is Frank.

Can't imagine why he would stay to be a guaranteed backup and get treated the way he is treated during/after games.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Hmmm, So let me try to further decipher this.

Frank, JBA, Chaz gone.

Coming in: Ballard and a guard to be named later.

We only add a third portal guy if Cole or Benny leave.

No Mintz.

Our roster management is death by a thousand cuts.

I'm not convinced we add a 3rd portal guy.

Won't be surprised if we don't add a 2nd.

cuseguy you're usually not this optimistic

It can’t be worse defensively…it just can’t be. But scoring is going to be a challenge.

It can always get worse

 

[JeremyCuse]

It can’t be worse defensively…it just can’t be. But scoring is going to be a challenge.

Even if Cole comes back even JB has to see the team would need a scoring guard or forward (probably both) to help pick up the scoring slack.

 

[PoppyHart]

If we’re a .500 team next year JBJ’s pride is going to be gutted so much he’ll want to run it back in ‘23-24.

 

[Melancer46]

I simply hope I’m wrong about the incoming freshmen.

.500 team???

We’re going to be lucky to grab 10 wins

 

[Dcuse]

My God,you people are unbelievable. Et Tu Jake?
Somebody BURN this thread.

 

[longtimefan]

Here's Frank with FLJ. All smiles...

Maybe our new women's coach can help with roster retention. She certainly bleeds Orange, and is hitting the ground running.

Lol no he doesn't.

 

[longtimefan]

Rosie had many opportunities to return, but Dallas (if I remember they held his rights) would not guarantee his contract. He also had limited offense. Danny could always score.

It was a long time ago, but I seem to remember he had a nice deal, with plenty of perks--free housing, a car, maybe no income tax.

 

[NineOneSeven]

It can’t be worse defensively…it just can’t be. But scoring is going to be a challenge.

Yeah even if the defense is a bit better, the offense could be substantially worse. So not sure where that puts us. Probably pretty far away from a ncaa tournament.

 

[Day2]

Losing the two most athletic guys off our most unathletic team ever, would be an absolute disaster.

That’s not what I said.

I am an optimist. I think the offense may be ok with Symir running point. I would prefer a portal PG that would allow Symir to come off the bench, because that means, obviously, that he is better than Symir. But, Jesse is a weapon and I think Symir can get him the ball. If we have Cole and Benny, I think Cole will be more consistent now that it would be his team. I think Benny comes back and shows us all who he really is. Joe can score. The bench, who the heck knows. Bottom line, I hope we hit the portal and find 2-3 guys that can challenge for starting spots. If not, then it seems like the coaching staff is mailing it in.

 

[OrangeDW]

That’s not what I said.

Ok?

That’s the point I wanted to make though.

 

[Day2]

Ok?

That’s the point I wanted to make though.

Ok.

That doesn’t align with dasher’s intel.

 

[HoustonCuse]

I guess that would depend if we looking at this kid as the 12th guy on the bench, or a starter/rotation guy?

Based on that picture of him in the recruiting thread, I’m looking to him as a guy who can drive the team to Carvels after the game!

 

[Orangefizz]

haven't confirmed 100%. For the most part, not bad. As long as we hit the portal. I will say, one name I have heard as a portal guy for us, is not good.

The guard i want is Kyle Lofton from St Bona if he decides to grad transfer. A true PG that would make this team much better.
