I really thought he was going to be a good player. Alot of good players in the portal. We’re going to find out real quick if he can put a roster together.

Morris needed work on his game. Thats why he didn't play more than he did. I don't think anybody saw a 5-star player in him. But yeah, RT is going to have to counter that with an improvement or step up.

Ouch.  Perhaps the most upside on the team?  I hate to see him go.... but these are the days of the portal.

If there was one thing that slightly raised my eyebrow at the RT season - it was the decrease in playing time for Mitchell and Morris.  I get it - he was coaching for his job and these are true freshman - prone to mistakes.  But on the other hand, these were uber-talented kids that needed to be developed.  This isn't really a complaint, just something I did notice.

Rodney better be looking to add some guys or we’ll start going backwards quickly

On needs from portal with a 1 being ood to go. And 10 panjc modeTexas is a 3. Could change with more portal entries.

There's still a chance he comes back. He may not like his slotting in the projected draft.

He def won’t like it.  Potential lottery pick at beginning season to needs a lot of work especially offensively.  He sure will test athletically off the charts.

I’m at a 7.   If everyone (Mitchell, Hunter and Disu) comes back I’d be at a 1.

With AJ Johnson gone, I’m now at a 9 or 10.    We went from having 4 5-stars now down to potential 1.

1 of those just decommitted and is going pro is what elevated his worriedness.

We recruited him hard. He is a bit raw though.

Yes it does. He was starting to really develop there toward the end of the season. He could have a dominant season this year.

We got F Kadin Shedrick from the transfer portal.  Front court looking good!
