It looks like this upcoming roster's potential might top out as middle of the pack SEC/ NCAA bubble.

I am not saying these things happen but imo, this is the roster's potential ceiling:

PG: Jordan Sears - Comes in and is a bucket averages between 17-21 points while also dishing out 3-5 assists per game and getting 1-2 steals per game.

SG: Cam Carter - Averages between 10-15 ppg while being a lock down defender.

SF: Tyrell Ward - Takes a step forward and becomes a 15-17 ppg type of guy while continuing to be a good defender.

PF: Jalen Reid - Takes a step forward and becomes a 15-17 ppg guy and improves his rebounding and defense.

C: Daimion Collins - Stays healthy and becomes the rim protector we have been missing.

6th: Mike Williams III - improves on his freshman season and becomes a consistent spark plug off the bench.

7th: Derek fountain - Brings his scrappiness off the bench and gives us a 3rd big man.

8th: Cory Chest - Best case is he beats Fountain out for the 3rd big man and is a rebounding machine and good defender.

Then there is the freshman:

VJ Miller - Comes in and is a sniper off the bench. come sin any time we go cold and gets us going on Offense.

Curtis Givens- Steady backup PG that can run the show off the bench.

Robert Miller III- Comes in and is a rim protector and steady rebounder.

I am aware that the chances of all of this happening is very slim but this is the actual ceiling. If all of this comes to fruition, we would easily be a tournament team and would probably win at least a game or 2. If only half of the players hit these ceilings then we still most likely have a tournament team.

Now I am aware that while these predictions show a good team that its very possible that all the returning players are exactly what they were last year and the transfers come in and struggle or at least don't perform as well as they did at their previous stop. So while I think the ceiling is solid tournament team, the floor is exactly what we saw last season or worse.

I choose to believe that CMM will continue the development of the returning players and take this program another step forward.
