On to next year

[Giddyup5]

next yr , we got shooters, scorers

sweet 16

Lol

 

[uconntoatl]

Excited that Floyd and Karaban have glimpses of flexible offensive games. My goodness what a relief they could be. My eyes are tired of bleeding watching missed layups and 3s

 

[Orc]

Unbelievable that so many players on this team can’t shoot

The number of layups this team missed this season is astronomical. Need better players at the 2 and 3 spots to go anywhere in this tourney tbh

 

[Marat]

AJ must develop some scoring and finishing in the off season.

 

[kansashusky]

Cupboard is pretty bare next year. We will have work to do in the portal.

Who???? We need players that only can shoot but can create their own shots. So who may that be?
Just watched Kentucky lose. So I feel a tiny bit better.

Hawkins, Jackson, Sanogo all get a year better and the Cupboard is bare? Is your name Paul Pasqualoni?

I will believe Cole and Martin are gone when I see it and there is plenty of young talent to get exciting about.

Hit the portal for one or two guards and we'll be more than solid.

 

[jibsey]

Next year's roster, of those who'll compete for minutes looks probably like this:

Two of Cole/Diggins/Gaffney
Floyd

Two of Martin/Akok/Samson
Jackson
Karaban
Hawkins

Sanogo
Clingan

We need some stars to come out of this bunch of Hawkins, Karaban and Clingan. Diggins and Gaffney will not make you forget Richard Hamilton or Kemba.

we need to trust the husky

 

[How Sway?!]

I see Hawkins, Ajax and Sampson taking a leap next year. If Sanogo can lose like 10 pounds and become more explosive he'll be definite first team BE selection. If Cole doesn't come back, we need to get a PG from the portal. That's a sweet 16 team in my opinion

 

[UCLJ0211]

So what are chances Clingan can take Sanogo's minutes? At 7'2" he seems to be able to finish at the rim. I see a lot of dunks, rather than missed one foot put backs.

A guy with zero college experience vs. a First Team all BE player? As bad as Sanogo may have played at the end of the season it’s not happening.

 

[Tiamat7]

There is plenty to look forward to next year. Potential for a great team led by Hawkins.

Be careful what you wish for Boneyard. Lets not wish away the great foundation we have with this young team.

Remember when Virginia lost to a 16 seed a few years ago and came back and won the whole thing the next year, that should be our goal.

Our starting 5 next year. Hawkins, Sanogo, Jackson, Akok or Martin, and either Cole or a transfer. Not bad.

Umm, Virginia was a #1 seed. Not a #5 seed that will likely lose three of its top players.

Shame that the pups didn't get a bit more run during cupcake time. Next year we basically have almost zero experience coming off the bench. Hit the portal Danny.

3 top players? Who?

 

[YoungFree]

Start recruiting plauers who know how to shoot,

Someone needs to out this on a shirt or rent a billboard.

Or, look up the "Nuts for Jericho" campaign...we could do something similar to get the point across that the fan base can't stand this lack of offense.

 

[superjohn]

As it stands right now, I don’t see how next years team is better than this years

It better be or Hurley's seat will start burning his britches.

 

[Tiamat7]

3 top players? Who?

Cole, Martin, Whaley. In nine months many on this board will long for the consistency of those guys.

Team needed more shooting to surround them. Hawkins could make the jump, but he's not nearly enough.

 

[shizzle787]

Next year will be like this year, only probably less talented.

If that is the case, Hurley should be dismissed. There is something called the transfer portal. He needs to hit it hard.

Your argument is Adama is the fourth best player on this team. OK.

 

[Tiamat7]

No, it wasn't a ranking.

Three of our top 5 players will likely be gone.

Understand, amigo?

 

[navery12]

Impossible to say what next year's expectations will be. There's going to be tons of movement in and out on the roster

 

[Tenspro2002]

Doesn't matter if we're better or worse next year.

Whether we're a #12 seed or a #1 seed, we need to be playing a game on Saturday or Sunday this time next year at the very least.

The most disappointing aspect of this is it doesn't provide a stepping stone for a deeper run. Still going to have a roster full of guys who have never won anything of significance.

 

[WestCoastHusky]

We need a guard that can shoot and can handle. AJ can be that guy if he learns how to knock down a 3 consistently.

 

[UncleSpliff]

Can anyone say with a straight face that next years team will be better than this? I don’t see any world where next years team wins any games in the tournament. Doubt they even make it.

That’s impossible to say right now either way

You sound like a true Mets fan -- the constant optimist! Except you're always disappointed because you're expecting too much.

We don't have any ball handler next season. Maybe Jackson? Diggins couldn't even see the court this year and Floyd redshirted, even though we badly needed another guard. Gaffney only saw spot minutes because his play regressed. I don't think hitting the portal for your starting point guard is necessarily the best way to win.

My one hope is that Cole is sufficiently angry about how the season ended that he's going to change his mind and come back. Maybe Martin too. But based on the post-game conference, I don't think that's happening.
