Re: Preseason top 25

Unless Great comes back we will not get the recognition especially with the unknowns of a new coach. Just my opinion, I won’t be expecting to be in any pre-season rankings and I would probably rather it be that way for now.

I'd take him back. He'd give us a much-needed 3-point shooter. Looking at transfer portal highlights Shulga has improved and could be really good in this next season.

Re: Karson Templin

This is great news, I think Templin has a high ceiling. He has some untapped potential. Also think he already has a decent 3pt shot he just needs reps.

Any word on Sakho? Hoping he comes back as well. I think our new offense will have place for a rim roller and protector.
