Full roster were better team. I hate excuses but I’ll keep saying it, if we get 2-3 instant starters that send guys getting key minutes now to bench we’ll be dangerous next year.

Getting 2-3 instant starters is extremely optimistic.
 
Not a great game, but could have been a lot worse considering we spotted them 6 points and were dramatically overmatched physically.

Eason probably isn't used to playing with guys who are bigger than him and can match his athleticism. Davenport at the 4 had no chance rebounding and defending the interior.

Saunders was the obvious bright spot.

Nah, we had rap, Lakhin, Harvey, Madsen, and Ddj. Ddj was instant if 2/4 of other guys started and produced, UC was tournament team. If MAW, Davenport and Vogt didn’t have play 30 minutes today we win easily.
 
Vogt is so bad for this team, we see how much better the defense and how much better we can press with him out. He needs to not come back next year for Brannen's sake.

Ends up a loss, but we showed heart and didn't give up.

We really need to improve on defense though. We can beat teams that we can out offense, but teams that play semi-capable defense are too much for us, because we can't get stops on defense. We gave up 18 offensive rebounds and got beat badly in points in the paint, hard to win games when that happens.

Eason and Davenport either need gain weight or work on handles to become elite wings.

Yep, just didn’t have the depth. You want to pressure them but with 7-8 guys you can’t. Still didn’t think we played well, but I don’t know what we could have done. Eason was in foul trouble again. Dou had 3 turnovers in 30 seconds. And Vogt had to play against a team that is probably his worst matchup.

Mikey was great. That kid will be good. His speed is a problem

Yeah, we saw against Tulane what Eason can do against guys his size (or smaller). But he has issues with bigger, more physical guys at the 5.

Memphis is probably one of the biggest teams in the country. Lot of guys are going to struggle with them. But yeah, I’m a perfect world he would be a 3-4.
 
Davenport and Eason struggled with their 3-4 guys. They got like 4-5 Eason’s with better athleticism. Can’t be happy with one got continue to get those type recruits in system.
 
I still like our core. If guys come back, add dejulius we could improve a lot next year. These guys are really young. Finish the year with a couple wins, a win in the conference and go from there.
 
Im ready to just move onto to next year, see what kind of roster this will be.

Id like to see DJD come back and give Saunders even more time to develop.

But to me just 2 starting spots are locked up for next year:
PG: DJD
SG:
SF: Davenport
PF:
C:

We need to recruit with the premise that we have starter level minutes wide open in 3 spots.

I think Tari is going to be good but I think he may not peak until his JR year. We need a stop gap to fill the 4 and 5. and we need an Alpha scorer.


The entire staff recently followed 5 star/high 4 star Marjon Beauchamp. HE is a guy who was slated to skip college and go pro but now changing his mind due to Covid.

We need to put a full court press on him. Like we can drop some bags if we have to. But that's the kinda guy this team needs.

Saunders was one of the best players on the floor against the most athletic team in the country. I get he might not be a complete player by next year but I think he will be good enough if needed. Eason will also be good if they have a whole summer to work. Not having that really hurt development. But we definitely need more. Will be a fun couple months this spring. Waiting for commits.
