I think two deputy AD were hired recently and a chief of staff also? Probably get someone back with familiarity.

My first thought.
I guess that means the Marty Simmons extension (which still makes no sense to me) was his parting gift on his way out the door.
3rd time's the charm!
Mine's on the 4th. I can't imagine it won't sell out. TV likely on Fox. That is college football conference championship game weekend. The only real game on Friday is the Big 12 on ABC.LET'S GO! My birthday is the fifth, so I know what I'll be asking (demanding) of my family and friends that weekend!
For real. We drew nearly 18k last year for an 8:00 pm Wednesday night game at a point in time where the hype was good but nowhere near "Final Four team" good. A Final Four rematch on a Friday night?? We very well might sell it out!

As the 8th man, around 5 ppg would be terrific. Doesn't sound like a lot, but that's what Ben and Jake averaged this year. Add in the positional versatility, hopefully he proves himself as a valuable piece.The guy that’s a mystery for me is Lucas Morillo. I just haven’t seen him play very much at all.
What do you guys think is a reasonable expectation for Lucas? Interested to hear some perspectives. Thank you in advance.
My concern isn't the top 50 freshman (QC and Morillo). Just hope that, at some point, a guy outside the top 8 will prove themselves capable of getting into games (and providing reasonably serviceable spot minutes).
