completely irrelevant at this point, but since no one cares to report on the details of Kennedy's new contract, here's something to talk about

This just reminds me of how much the first round sites suck next year.

I would call a 5 seed a successful season after losing the 4 seniors.

Yep, it puts you in the top 20 which would be a great season. I think a good season is getting a 7-9 seed next year.

Our NCAA seedings this past decade have been:

Gillispie: 12 seed
Gillispie: 3 seed
Turgeon: 9 seed
Turgeon: 9 seed
Turgeon: 5 seed
Turgeon: 7 seed
Kennedy: 3 seed

So a 5 seed would be very good compared to A&M's history. At the end of the day, if we just make the dang NCAA and then most of the roster returns for the 2017-2018 season as juniors and sophomores, then you are probably looking at that point at an almost sure 3 consecutive NCAA tourneys under Kennedy...and a basketball program that makes the NCAA tournament most seasons, giving us a chance to maybe make some noise in the post-season, is all that most Aggie fans have asked for.

I suspect that with the kids we now have coming that we have three years certain - which helps recruit the next couple of years!!

5-seed would be pretty good. I wish bracketology would show the sweet 16 sites...

After googling:

Kansas City - Midwest
San Jose - West
Memphis - South
New York City - East

Final 4 is Phoenix.

So Midwest actually would be about as good a draw as we could hope for. No nearby sites next year.

2018 has the FF in San Antonio though, so we should pull for that

Also has an opening round site in Dallas. Go figure.

Our likely range IMO is between 5 and 9. Anything better or worse I would consider a relatively significant over or underachievement relative to talent and experience.
