I feel like if they were going to we would have heard by now. Not that it means a lot but I do like what they’ve been saying on social media lately. Segu and Williams called next year a revenge tour, Mballa and Nickelberry working out together in Florida, Graves looking to get feedback from NBA scouts. It looks like they’re taking things more seriously than before at least.

Well good for him then. Seems like a hell of a player and he deserves a chance to at least play in the tournament once. I want to root for him, just not in the MAC lol

I wonder if he’s a starter on any of those teams or maybe just a solid 6th man. Haven’t studied his game too close to know how good he really is or anything so forgive me if that’s a dumb question

Do you consider that a sign that they're doing their due diligence looking for a hidden gem, or that they're looking to just take whoever they think they can get?

FWIW I saw that Jamie Quarles now follows Hawkins on Twitter. Could be something, could be nothing but it does look like they may be trying to recruit him again like they did with Hardnett

Of all years too. Not that there’s any good year for something like this, but there was potential for so many upsets. This was one of the craziest years in awhile. Looks like it’ll be all chalk now. Boringgg

Seeing as how the season its over, it's never too early to starting looking towards next. That being said, I agree for the most part with your roster predictions. However, I could see Mballa taking the Perkins role and being the "6th man" as if that really counts, and having Hardnett or Skogman start in his place. I'd say Skogman only because he fits the position more. We've seen Hardnett play the 5 and it wasn't right. Gonna miss Jordans leadership and defense for sure, but I do have hopes that Robinson can be the next one to take that role. From what I've seen he seems to have a similar style in play and hopefully gives the same effort on defense too. Freeman seems to be a natural shooter, which was atrocious at times for UB this year so that will be a welcome addition. I've said it many times already, but I like next years roster a lot... ON PAPER. My concern still comes down to whether or not JW can put all the pieces together in a system that lets them flourish as a team. If we finish with 20 wins next year, great. If we finish with less, that's fine too. Just show some consistency with each game. Don't beat DePaul, then lose to Army. Beat St. Bonnaventure, and lose to Dartmouth. Maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised next year. I'm hopeful.

Think you missed the on paper part. Player ranking wise, yes it will be the best team we’ve had.

They’re great mid major players but I agree, I don’t think any would be able to transfer to a higher program unless it is just a better mid major. My biggest concern though is even with all the players, is coaching. I gave Whitesell the benefit of the doubt all year, but tonight makes me worried he can’t coach. Even with good players.

I disagree, if we keep all our recruits and no one transfers out, I’d say on paper it’s the best team we’ve had. I like Williams development along with Segus and I’m high on the two freshman we have coming in. Plus Skogman. I’m excited about next years team, if everyone stays of course.

Not a good look moving forward. I’m not trying to be that guy after a bad loss, but I’m worried about our roster for next year already. Transfers, decommitments, it’s all on the table now. Let’s face it.

I really can’t say I’m surprised by this game. I had a bad feeling they’d lay an egg after beating BG... I don’t like where this leads us into the offseason.

I can’t believe it, but it looks like Whitesell finally made some halftime adjustments??

2nd half starters better be: Davis Bivens Gallion Moore D. Johnson I trust that lineup more

This is atrocious. I’ll be amazed if the crowd doesn’t boo the shit out of this team at halftime. That worst part is that we all know this time doesn’t come out of halftime well either. We’re in for shit night at this rate

If we get to Cleveland, and that’s a big IF, I’d feel much better than playing the lowest seed at home. That’s just sad

What in the fuck was that foul for Johnson...

I know Hardnet is a work in progress, but I’d still much rather see him on the floor over Bertram. I don’t even care if it’s not his normal position at this point. Oh and give Gallion more minutes please.

Jeenathan is all over today! Love to see it

I’m honestly a little more nervous about this game than I’m comfortable with. With UB being as inconsistent as they’ve been this year, it’s wouldn’t surprise me to see them go from beating BG on the road, to laying an egg against Miami-Ohio at home. But then again I could see them winning the MAC too. This years team just gives me some serious anxiety. Maction at its best.

Exactly that. Great #2 but not the leader. Same goes for Jordan too. Neither are go-to guys when needed

He’s just so damn inconsistent from game to game, as is the whole team. You just never know which Graves you’re gonna get.

These threads have been pretty dead the last couple games, is anyone else even watching or just me? Lol

I'm holding onto hope that come tournament time in Cleveland someone will step up out of nowhere that is least expected. We all remember how bad Jeremy Harris' shooting was pretty much all last year. Maybe it was just me but I did not expect him to really get it back and then he ends up winning the tournament MVP. Point being, someone may surprise us and just take over all tournament and get us back to the big dance. If I had to take a guess at who, my bet is on Williams, maybe Graves, maybe no one. Who knows.

Wow that was pathetic by Grant. Just let the guy back right up to the rim with no pressure
