4 rides left and bunches of elite players needing new homes. Fever dream class: Ayo, Ramey, Jones, O'Neal & Cunningham. That'll do.

I know its been "typed" plenty here but...could you imagine if we hauled Ayo, Jones, and Gordon this year. Then EJ, Okoro and Whitney next year....I have no idea why these kids wouldn't want to be on a team that loaded....

I knew about the suspensions, and a lot of kids like to party. The inflated ego part sucks. Especially if it gets in the way of "team basketball"

Expecting 2 players will transfer out, of their own volition.
Yeah, J G, I'm not seeing that.

As far as possibility of transfers go, there are two players in my mind who MIGHT get their pt cut considerably, and might consider moving on. However, these two are high caliber people, and may not go because of their strong character.
I Would be surprised if anyone else leaves, but it is of course not out of the realm of possibility.
However, I am in the (maybe lonely) group of posters who believe we will have such a big improvement in our Fresh and Sophs that we will be a Top 25 caliber team most of the season next year. Even with only Ayo coming in, and if any other top 100 types come in, that's even better. Ramey would be a dream because I then believe Liddel and Okoro would commit and do it before the end of the summer.

BOOM! Feed my ego.
What am I missing about Gordon? Isn’t he signed with SLU?
Look harder. There is at least 1 transfer almost every year, in every P5 program. There were 883 transfers in 2017, or 2.5 per Division 1 program.
There will be room for 5 in this class, if they have 5 with reciprocal interest.

Does anyone find it weird that O’neal and Williams only signed non binding commitments to Arizona, so they can back out of their commitments? Seems like they knew something?

Offer to Griffin is interesting. Guessing he jumps Rodriguez in the pecking order. Supposedly shoots it really well from 3. This term is stupidly overused, but with his length he could be a "3 and D" guy.

Well, since you changed your name from Assembly Hall, I have lost faith in you building. So I will believe when I see. I have my money on one transfer.
It would seem that way with how many offers we have out for 2018.
