Boals knows how to coach and how to keep the team playing hard despite the injuries. He changed the line-up, substitution rotation, and time outs, all in an effort to win more games. I am sure Boals feels the heat and will improve the team's performance come next year.

What's the vision for us being better next year than we are this year? We return a single member of our frontcourt rotation in Hadaway. All other front court minutes have to be replaced. We graduate our best perimeter defender in Reef. Where is next year's team better than this year's? How are we addressing our truly, truly awful defense?

Also, Boals teams has always registered winning seasons, quite a good track record. Not to mention winning a game in the NCAA Tournament.

We graduate our best perimeter defender in Reef. Where is next year's team better than this year's? How are we addressing our truly, truly awful defense? Well, our team will definitely look a lot different next year (I think that's a good thing) and we certainly won't open as pre-season anythings (I don't think that matters). Ultimately we may or may not be better next year. Lots of new faces and moving parts to integrate. I think we definitely COULD be better. More Elliott and Sheldon at PG instead of Pavs immediately makes the defense better. I'd love to see one of Burris, Fisher or Kelly step into the starting SG role. Maybe none will be ready yet - but we need a Jordan Dartis/Nick Kellogg esque 3pt shooter to pair with our non-3pt shooting PG's IMO. AJB, if healthy and given the green light to make the team "his" could/should be in the running for MAC PoY. Hadaway will be back at PF - that helps the defense. I expect a big Sr year from him. Then it's center. We'll have Evans as a Soph with little experience. Kuany as a Fresh with no experience - and IMO we add a transfer 1-year stopgap guy ala Searls. Who wins that competition will be fun to watch. Will be all about who gets better in the summer. If you asked me right now where I'd rank them, I'd probably say random transfer/Kuany/Evans - but if you asked me who had the highest ceiling/potential I'd rank them Evans/Kuany/random transfer. All depends on who puts in the work and reaches their potential or not. I can see any of the 3 starting. Give me Pavs, the loser of the SG comp, Elmore, Mosley, the loser of the C comp as the 2nd unit. Lots of unknowns. I think that team will definitely be a better defensive team (unless we keep Pavs as our starting PG, then it could be much of the same sadly). Heaps of potential. Complete unknown whether it materializes. Definitely COULD be better. Could be worse. My .02 is a team led by Jr AJB and Sr Hadaway, will be much more fun to watch and less frustrating than this years editions led by AJC and Pavs who never play defense, never play to their strengths, are super un-athletic, and are super streaky.

I’ll take my chances with Portal Big #2. Edit: forgot about Burris. Probably part of the bench mob. Though we know Boals will never play 10 in his regular rotation, so I wouldn’t be surprised if Burris ends up as the odd man out.

Sheldon > Pav is a recipe to disaster. Lately Sheldon has been playing out of control a lot. I guess Graff forgot AJC leads us in blocks and may not be the best defensive player but holds his own and is pulling down 5-6 rebounds per game. And let's ignore his ongoing plantar fasciitis. Obviously, Graff has never endured plantar fasciitis.

I didn't say start Sheldon over Pavs. I said Elliott and Sheldon make the defense better. Sheldon is the best defender of the 3. Sadly, if he's shooting like he is this year, his offense is so bad it doesn't matter and he's basically unplayable. My preference would be to start Elliott at PG next year.

And let's ignore his ongoing plantar fasciitis. Obviously, Graff has never endured plantar fasciitis. AJC does indeed lead us in blocks. And he falls for every. single. shot. fake. Even 3 pointers! The dude leaves his feet and goes flying past his man, leading to a switch/scramble, foul or wide open guy 10 times for every block he gets. I would have had a field day playing against him. Shot fake before every shot and you'll either score 20 or have him fouled out or both. And his lateral quickness and ability to move his feet and stay in front of his man on defense is terrible. Only Pavs and EJ4 are worse. He does get some defensive boards for us though.

Throw in Middle Tenn. also.
