RE: Wanting to Gauge Us Diehard's Expectation's Next Year

I get the pessimism by some, there are a lot of moving parts and a lot of question marks. But there is also a consistent pattern in the type of guys he's brought in for next year both in the freshmen and transfers. Yes they will need someone to emerge as a go to type and another 2-3 to be consistent offensive threats, and both of those remain to be proven. But having watched basketball a lot of years, with opportunity, someone almost always emerges . I like the over all look of this roster because it has consistent size across the board, even down low where people act like having Brazille 6'8, Keita 6'9, Wilmore 7'3, and a couple solid build 6'7 guys is tiny. The wings are all 6'4-6'7 , and there is quickness in the back court with Brookshire and Gordon. I think Coleman is very solid. Depth can be overrated, but in this case having a lot of similar guys competing increases the chances of a couple emerging from that competition to assume primary roles. I think it'd be a good year to have a competitive but not killer noncon schedule so you can build on a little success going into the SEC. My guess is around .500 maybe at best 18-15 , but with momentum building towards 2022.
