That’s an almost entirely new team. But it’s also 14 players?

Anyone want to hazard a guess at what the starting 5 might be?

There is nobody on the roster with my height? What’s up with that?

The roster limit for MBB under House will be 15 and that number includes walk-ons.

(OV) = made campus visit

For some reason I thought Mading played center and as a grad transfer assumed he would start. But not according to that list.

Elliott is very athletic and quick, needs to get a chance to play and develop. Not a Center.

Had no room to play at Tulane. May not of fit in Hunters style of play.

Will probably do well in Fearne’s, back door movement to the hoop offense. Like Blackmon etc..

Any of you recruiting experts have an idea on who’s going to pop on that list?

Someone’s going to step up and grab the bull by the horns and make a name for themselves.

Who’s it going to be?

I’d say Mingo.

As much worry there was about Fearne being able to recruit, it appears he has done very well. Sure hope he can bring these players together

Looks like Freeman can finish through contact.

Roster looks like a 3 guard offense setting up.
