New year , new team.

Tip off dinner was a great evening. Tubby Smith a first class human being with some great Bobby Cremins stories. The guys really seem to like one another and coaches believe we can go ten deep. I think we surprise the league.

I’ve noticed that the freshman, Neal, hasn’t been in any photos or social media posts lately. Hope everything is ok with him. He looks to have tons of potential.

That's awesome! We had some really good players graduate the last couple of seasons, but Kerns has managed to go out and grab some really nice fits for the program. Did they share any information on a possible extra game or two? I believe they alluded to having some room if an opportunity presented itself.

They tried to work out a neutral-site game in Pensacola against a west coast team but the logistics were too much to overcome. I believe the extra game (I’m guessing a home-and-home series) is the one on the road against Dartmouth.

Love Tubby. I hope we can make some foul shots this year?

Tubby Smith is a truly exceptional person.
I can verify this as a FACT.

I am very optimistic about this basketball season. Can't give any other reason other than a feeling. Though I will say having Njock back is part of it.

Georgia Southern transfer Eren Banks seems to be drawing a lot of praise from the coaching staff.

Around a month ago, I heard that Neal is the real deal.

Looking forward to see a healthy Njock.

Neal's photo is not on the new roster. Hopefully I'm not reading too far into it.

I don’t know if this will be a good season or not, but we have more playmakers and shooters than last season. And Kerns can coach good defense. So I’m optimistic.

Looking forward to tomorrow’s basketball golf tournament to meet some of the guys.

I’ve been told we showed promise in the scrimmage . Flashes of being able to compete at a high level. I think we have one more before the season starts.

Awesome to hear. We've been so fortunate to have Kerns. I feel like regardless of the recruiting/portal situation he's got guys on the court ready to compete.
