Next years Roster

J Wash= portal
Cadeau= portal
Tyson=portal Jackson=NBA or portal Powell=Back Z High=Back Trimble= Back Denis=Fr Dixon=Fr Wilson=Fr J.Brown=Back Lubin=Back My hopes for next season!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We will not lose out to the portal, only guy who may go portal is Trimble, but without RJ he gets all the PT he needs right here.

We may lose out to draft 2nd round guys
 
And yet . . . that 2nd half comeback almost succeeded. To me that suggests the components are good, but the coaching is suspect.

It's certainly possible that other good coaches would have done worse with these players. But I don't believe it. Do you?
Some would interpret that comeback as the opposite--the coach doing everything he can but just not having the horses to pull it through. How many shots did we miss at the rim when we had it down to 4? Can't blame Hubert for those.
 
He did put it together but who expected RJ to not have a season similar to last year when he usually couldn't miss, especially in the clutch? And, who knew that Cade Tyson would be a bust--he was rated in the top 5 portal transfers by many.
It cannot be questioned that Hubert and his staff have talent evaluation issues.

They thought Tyson could play, he couldn't. They thought Jalen Washington would be an effective C1, he wasn't.

Once those 2 things fell apart, at least my expectations changed pretty drastically. But the talent evaluation is on Hubert.

Again, I'm not saying Hubert's a good coach nor did he do a good job this season. My bigger questions with him have to do with talent evaluation than this season's outcome.

Him thinking Cade Tyson and Jalen Washington would be effective players did a ton of damage to this team's ceiling and floor.

I'm also not about being the University of Moral Victories. Enough of that crap, lol.
 
Again when it’s guys playing pick up ball Hair on fire use your skill set they were fine

When they looked forceably coached like the first half today it looks like he’s still coaching like Bacot is still here

Cade looked mentally wrecked IMO I have not a clue if he was even evaluated other than if you miss you 3 your pulled

Or if you get burnt on D your pulled

With that way of looking at things everyone should have been dismissed from the team after the 1st half today

He gets a pass on Tyson imo. Dang kid was recruited by several coaches and staffs. lol I just kept hoping he would at least hit the rim. No matter the competition most shooters can shoot or at least be close enough to be dangerous!!!

Right. Would it have been reasonable early in the season to sit players and hold them accountable? How about pull starters and play the bench for stretches, win or lose? Many believe this team is full of talent, we've actually seen it at times. Is it simply coaching or are there bigger issues within this group? It makes no sense how they can dominate when pushed and under pressure or just go through the motion and stink it up. I don't know, I'm just a fan trying to find find some kind of explanation.
 
Over his last 25 games, Seth Trimble shot 11/66 (16.7%) from 3PT. 39.1% FG.

I didn't realize how inefficient he was during the vast majority of the season. And that's including him finishing the regular season on a 4-game heater.

Ouch.
Hes one of the best athletes in the country. If we had crazy firepower on the rest of the court he could get by playing the jackie manuel role. When hes on the court with Cadeau its pretty easy to guard us

Hopefully a complete over haul .. Lubin & Powell is about the only 2 I'd take back .. EC is possible as long as we get the top portal 7 footer that can score 20 plus a game !

We need the right measurables regardless with the athletes

Just body types and arm lengths made the Ole miss team look bigger and stronger than us

Height wise they claim they had no advantage

A new coach too.

What happened today is a travesty.

Ole Miss was avg.
Cmon. We've been less than average most of the year. You can't just show up and throw a switch and win just because you're wearing Carolina blue. We've not adapted to the new world that is college basketball in 2025. We have not managed the portal adequately and have not plugged gaps whereas other teams have unearthed gems. Bottom line as much as so many hoped we could keep it in the family... Hubert was not the right decision to make heading into this new era.

Changes need to happen from the bottom up. If not... the last four years will be positive net results compared to seasons to come.
