We had these threads last year

They have some size, athleticism, and can stretch the floor. Probably not going to make it to the NCAA Tournament but will be competitive. Oh how far we have fallen.

Sorry, but that's not going to be the case.
Even if you somehow get Jalen Cook, we are a bottom SEC team.

Assuming guard play can be stabilized (i.e., limit turnovers and double digit assist) this team is a middle of the pack SEC team because of Will Baker and Jalen Reed. Will Baker looked and showed the part last night. Jalen Reed looks the part but did not show a lot last night however has tremendous up side. Reed has the highest ceiling on the team, he just needs to grow into his role. These two are surrounded by what appears to be decent role players. IMO this team goes were Baker and Reed take them. These two have to stay healthy.

I still think we will be a bottom feeder in the SEC. Every SEC team is going to have talent and guys that can stop Baker

I agree, middle of the pack SEC team, likely competing for an NIT spot.

We started the season 11-0 last year I'm pretty sure playing teams like this. Dayton will be our first test next week.

I was at the game last night. The things that I really liked was the shooting and hustle. I loved that we pressed the entire game. We didn't let up just because it was a 50 point game. We were using the court time to get better. I think this is a deep team so we should be able to press 40 minutes a game every game without too much problem.
If I had to put a guess on SEC record I'd say somewhere in the 6-9 wins range. Improvement, but the SEC is stacked so it's not going to be all smooth sailing.
This team is veteran. Looking at the roster you see a ton of Jr's, Sr's, and Grad Sr's. I'm hoping that presence will be good when times get tough.

losing Jalen Cook is huge, the guard play is just kind of bleh and now they have no depth. They have a few guys that can handle the ball ok enough (Stewart / Williams/ Wright / Hannibal) but no one really creates offense.
Williams' development will be one to watch. He will be forced into minutes now and could be a key program player going forward in years to come.
Tyrell Ward is prob my favorite player on team. He is just sneaky-active and i love his engagement. He is good enough offensively to potentially lead the team in ppg.
Reed is a wildcard, I think by next year will have established himself as a really good player in the league. He just needs minutes. Very skilled for his size but looks like a bull in a china shop. He will have his nights.
Baker should be steadying if nothing else. He's going to get a lot of cleanup buckets and I thought at times the offense ran pretty well through him. I think he is good as a 2nd or 3rd option but if he is the guy this team will not be good.
Stewart seems to be getting a feel for his teammates, but i think he needs to step up into a leadership role. He & Wright will have to share the burden creating offense for teammates & themselves.

The kid flashed for sure. Didn't put up numbers but I enjoyed watching him play.

What this team really needs is a Seneca knight.

That will never get old

I agree. The key to how many wins in the SEC is how well we handle pressure, which will be a whole team effort. Hopefully that is what we are spending the most time on.
Once we get past that pressure our offense will keep us in a lot of games. Last year we would struggle at times to get past the pressure but have little to offer on offense beyond KJ.
Defense and defensive rebounding are still questions until we play stronger competition. We should be stronger defensively this year just based on individual talent, but obviously the games will tell.
Bottom line: I think we improved depth, improved guard play even without Cook, and our offense is greatly improved, a true threat that teams will have to defend by extending pressure and trying to force turnovers.

You can point out the positives without believing they are a championship team. What I saw was great ball movement, making open shots and a big that can play inside and out. Almost everyone on their team can handle the ball even the 7 footer and the 6'10' Reed. They do need to pick it up on the rebounding side but they don't look like a bunch of guys that just came together yesterday. There was actual flow to the offense. Seems to be some chemistry there. Hopefully they can continue to improve as they step it up in competition. Hell #4 Mich St lost to james madison at home last night.
