I don’t know what all the critics and folks freaking out are going to do now that they can’t flip out about not having control on when a kid commits.

I fully realize that if those on here who were complaining were weighing different job opportunities, they would make a decision after their first interview and not consider other options. Plus, it would undoubtedly be the best decision. I applaud them for their decisiveness.

Old team that has high end talent and is very deep.
It's not *AS* old at the 2023-24 team, which because of the unique Covid scenario will remain one of the oldest and most experienced teams ever in college basketball. And the age statistics get dragged down a little by Kylan Boswell being a senior at age 20.

But compared with last year's team it's much older, has much more experience playing D1 basketball (even more if you count adult pro European experience, which you should), and has much more experience playing for Brad Underwood, which historically has helped.

Because of that I expect it to feel a lot more like the 2023-24 team than last year's team. Just better able to grind and figure things out as they go.

It's a fun team. I am more enthusiastic about this on paper than I have been in years, for what little that's worth.

Will go into it more later, but expectations are sky high next year.

Second weekend/beyond or bust. Old team that has high end talent and is very deep.
Do you think we need another piece to get us there?
