I’ll say this … strictly from a depth/athleticism standpoint… I’ve got no idea what this team’s record will be…

Like many of y’all, I’ve been jaded over the years and seen some pretty crummy basketball. It almost feels wrong to get excited.
However. In my humble opinion - this is the most athletically skilled team since Jim Harrick’s final season here.
Call me stupid considering they haven’t played a real game yet, but I’m honestly struggling to come up with a front line that has the length and talent that this one has.
What this team has the potential to do around the rim is …. You fill in the blank.
They’re not going to shoot over 50 percent from 3 every game, but based on the early returns it’s going to be better than last year and we haven’t even seen Dakota Leffew and DeShayne Montgomery yet.
Love the way Tyrin Lawrence goes to the hole. It’s really great having a guard with the level of SEC experience that he does.
I thought the communication was great. Seems to be a ton of buy-in with this group, too.
Defensively, there’s still some work there, but that length and athleticism will going to help make up for a lot.
When was the last time any of y’all can remember eight blocks in a game?
We’ll have to see how the team deals with the hype that it’s starting to get. But man, Saturday’s exhibition was definitely an exciting start.
