We need better everywhere. Buzz claimed he understand it is a recruiting shortfall. Time to lean in and upgrade.

Develop develop develop Solo. He could be killer on both offense and defending the rim. I'm more excited about him than any other player on our roster.

Work on hands for Marble and especially Coleman. They lose too many balls. Coleman needs to improve his offense.

I don't think we'll have another Dexter Dennis on the team next year. :-(. I'll miss that guy, and the team will too.

Garcia needs to continue to improve, but he and Dex were the only ones that played decent tonight, IMO.

Develop the big kid that hardly played this season. Can you imagine him and Solo both protecting the rim?

We also have to shoot better. We can't count on getting fouls called and going to the line 30 times a game.

Go to the transfer store and buy exceptional, high-priced talent that stays a year or two. Repeat every year.

While I appreciate getting the thread going, might have made sense to wait a couple days to weed a few of these folks out.

I'll bite though. I agree with your assessment on Gordon and Hef. They were two after last season that we said the same thing about. They came back and they were okay, but I believe we'll be an attractive enough destination to where they should get moved further down the bench. Also with Gordon going into a 5th year, I'll be interested to see what he decides to do. There will definitely be a number of guys way down our bench that I can't imagine being back.

It would obviously be great to find a Dexter Dennis clone. We really need Henry to take a step forward in his overall game or consider bringing someone in a little longer that has a similar (preferably better obviously) offensive game. With the defense we run I trust him switching and taking guards, but if he's going to be a below the rim player that can't shoot outside 3 feet, there's probably a number of other guys out there that can step into a similar role but be more physically imposing or potentially above the rim type guys.
Last, I wish we had a better idea of what we could get from Manny. He needs to improve offensively and in his decision making with the ball if he is going to have a big impact.

If by "big kid who hardly played" you mean Brown, you can go ahead and just pencil in that that probably won't happen. Brown seems like a great kid and always appeared to be a positive presence on our bench, but he can't run Buzz's style of defense with the way we switch everything. He might be back if he likes being at A&M, but I wouldn't be surprised if he pursued more playing time elsewhere.

Basically need a 7 footer with his own inside game like Edey, plus Marble, and then 3-4 guards that are like that Funk guy. Also keep guards that attack the rim like Boots and Wade.

We aren't taking that kind of big. Doesn't fit our switching defense. You want more the Bama type bigs who are long and agile.

Boots hasn't attacked the rim in weeks.

Not gonna address the point?

Radford was an incredibly inefficient player this year. He's going on 24 years old. He is who he is. Another offseason isn't going to change much about his game.
Was really hoping that I was gonna be wrong. But somehow, he has actually gotten so much worse.....

You're not making much sense.

Boots and Dex were the best players tonight

Got any data to back up your point? Or does saying so just make you feel better?

I love Radford. Enjoyed his 1st season here immensely. He needs to go see what he can do in the G League though.
Also, this.

So basically we have gone from ass kickers to getting our ass kicked in approx 20 games?

Looking at this thread boots and the team are even worse thus year. Yes he's been injured but overall this is an F unless they right the ship which isn't gonna magically happen. The sec is way deeper league this year.

Off season plan. Payoff buzz and move on. We are really good at that. He has been out coached a many time.
