2024-25 Season

[eldonabe]

Frank said it earlier this season when asked about what was needed for next year. I don't know if the 3 incoming recruits bring this, but lots of players in the portal.

Another 3 point shooter
A rim protector
More athleticism

We do not even know if the income 3 recruits will stay committed - do we?

[NDR18]

I’m expecting the KAEO: thread any time now for members of the hoops team that are entering the portal.

I also think Davis progressed this season, not dramatically as, say, Diggins since last year, but noticeably. He likely has a clear picture of how to improve and will make it happen. Amid all the talk of rust from the layoff, no one mentioned that Davis and Keon didn't have just an 8-day layoff, they were off 12 days. And with the injuries almost certainly limited practices for some of those 12 days.

It’s impossible to have a take on next season until we know what the roster looks like.

Need pure tall shooter and athletic big if we are to be better than we are!

Looking like another roster re-vamp. Hopefully Frank can find some guys that can fill in.

[Plano Minuteman]

I'm ecstatic if Cross, Diggins, Curry, Hankins-Sanford, Ndjigue, and Thompson all stay.

That's a fantastic core right there.

I'm not expecting Cross to stick around.

[DoctorJ]

I'd love Cross to stay but doubt it.

Can we keep DHS, Diggins, Keon, Jayden, Curry ???

I wouldn’t be surprised if any of these guys leave as NIL Lottery will be raining cash! Frank needs to mostly recruit 4/5th year players with reasonable NIL expectations as most successful teams in the A10 were heavily stacked with most Senior/Grad players. The freshmen recruitment model doesn’t work that well anymore as we only landed two freshmen who could play right away in Curry (offense) and Ndjigue (defense). With 4/5th year players, you mostly know what you are getting (I.e. Cross and Cohen) and you can compete right away and can plan for there departure if they only have one year of eligibility left.,

[Juice Stand]

^ Jayden played right away and started every game.

[69MG]

^ I think you are forgetting Jayden. He started every game.

Not picking on you but I see this a lot and it’s not accurate: Jayden was as valuable on offense as he was on defense…Cross and Cohen(especially Josh) owe a lot to him for their all league selections, he got the ball to them directly or reversed the ball quickly which led to the entry pass. He was also the most vocal with regards to getting guys in the correct spots.
