I have to admit, I’m not really all that broken up about the guys who aren’t returning. Would have liked to see Davis return, but if there is any truth to the rumors about him causing any issues then better he deciddd to leave. Roster right now is thin on talent, but if they give their all and play as a team I’ll be happy. And if that happens and WT can bring in a veteran point guard and a 2 guard who can shoot from 3 and/or create his own shot, they might just surprise people. Not saying I expect it, but something something, hope springs eternal.

Not saying I expect it, but something something, hope springs eternal. Agreed. This roster is a lot less exciting vs. last year’s roster before the season started, but at this point Im at least interested to see if a whole new crew can figure out how to be competitive. It’s interesting that WT went all in on transfers with a disastrous outcome and going to a full youth movement instead this year (at least so far) |

It’s interesting that WT went all in on transfers with a disastrous outcome and going to a full youth movement instead this year (at least so far) I wonder if Covid and difficulty getting out to really assess the 2021 high school kids had something to do with that. Also he probably thought that with the finish they had in NCAA tourney and what he had returning, if he could hit on some transfers that they’d be able to make a run in conference. As we all saw that didn’t work out. Even with the portal, I think the best way to build a team is with HS recruiting and then fill a hole or two with transfers. Have to think WT might be a little gun shy with transfers too. Two of the last 3 guys signed (not Pope) look like they might be a tad short on talent but are quality kids. I’d be willing to bet the last two spots will be filled by transfers unless a kid with talent of Pope or better falls into his lap. |

If Mariel will ever be healthy enough to play. Has anyone heard anything about him? I thought it was academic/credits issue that held him out. Is he still having health issues? Given the new AC’s previous success working with bigs, I’m interested to see what impact he can have on Chol and Andela’s play next year. |

It was academics not health His academic issues were apparently not grades but transferrable credits counting towards a specific degree. Health is all about his legs essentially. Surgeries and growing don't always mix well. Let's hope both are all behind him and he can bloom to what he was at one point expected to be. I'd still like to see one of the last 2 players signed be a young post player with lots of potential and either a power 4 with a lot of potential or a 6'2" point guard with good ball control and decision making skills. |

Make that 12 as WT has added 6-3 PG Christian Wright a transfer from Georgia. Last season he started 11 games for the Bulldogs averaging 5.3 ppg, 2.2 rpg and 2 apg. He has 3 years of eligibility remaining.

Any news on Lucas? I am sorry if I missed the news. WT said the door is opened if he wants to return.

I believe that Jarod Lucas has visited San Diego State, Nevada and Washington State. The other three schools interested are all in the SEC: Alabama, Louisiana State and Texas A&M. I believe that Auburn and Illinois were each interested at one point but each ultimately passed. WT has said that the door is still open, if he wants to return. Lucas has said that he wants to go somewhere, where he plays more often at the point. He also indicated that he did not like the recent turnover on the staff. Lucas has ties to San Diego and knows some of the coaches at Nevada. Lucas indicated that he may not make his decision until June. |
