could bring back Floyd and Newell well. 

I wonder if the big step forward for Lorient will be him playing meaningful minutes at the 3...doing some poor-man's Kevin Durant impression. he has a soft stroke...not just from 3 (where he's still north of 50%), but he's hit a number of really nice turnaround 17 footers throughout the year. 

He really does have a soft touch. I can see him developing into an NBA prospect as a 3 and D guy with his size, athleticism, and wingspan. Think Dorian Finney-Smith.

Dude I respect your postings but JC mane -- have you lost your mind.  Ross has won what 40 games in two seasons?  Jarod better get him locked up b4 he wins this tourney and blows up out of our reach.  This dude can flat out coach!

If only it were as simple as looking at straight wins and losses.

all the praise aside, I still have concerns about building next season's roster around him...hopefully he's still in a #2 role next year and we can bring in a big time scoring guard.

this likely deserves it's own thread soon enough, but let's just say everyone who can come back does next season and our two commits make it to campus (all things up in the air):

1. Brennan Lorient, 6'9" Sr
2. Grant Newell, 6'9" Sr
3. Jasper Floyd, 6'3" Sr.
4. Tyran Mason, 6'6" Fr./Soph
5. Alex Cotton, 6'5" Fr./Soph
6. Brock Vice, 6'10" Soph
7. Baron Smith, 6'9" Fr
8. DJ Thomas, 6'8" Fr.
9. Cahmai Crosby, 6'3" Jr

this would leave four more spots. give me this template of player

 - Tristan Thompson (D1 transfer)
 - Ryan Woolridge (D1 Transfer...and I'm specifically thinking of Rowan Brumbaugh of Tulane here)
 - some kinda Eric Tramiel/George Odufuwa hybrid (D1 transfer)
 - best available JUCO/freshman

the likelihood of only needing 4 more recruits is pretty low, but this is more or less the blueprint I'd like to see our roster follow next season

Great Florida road swing! Pumped we got both of these games, capped by our most complete AAC game of the season.
