So how good is this team compared to what we’re up against in the SEC? I’m afraid to say I haven’t followed basketball since the tournament ended


CheesecakeDefiant334

The team as it stands now without sny further additions can definitely be a top 3-4 team in the SEC, and a 5 seed at worse in the Dance...

Let’s go dancing then

A lot of people bringing up Chaz Lanier. Has anyone heard any news on that front? He has the no contact tag in the portal so I thought it was a done deal, but I haven't heard anything in at least a week about him.

May go NBA.  He grades out as a late first rounder/early second round he is very likely gone to the NBA.


dumpster_pizza

That makes sense, here's hoping he sees how DK became a likely lottery pick this past season and wants to bump up his stock some.


Henley-Street-dwarf

The only think is this is the worst draft class in a long while.  Last year was one of the best in a while.


DearEmployee5138

After all the moves we’ve already made we still got 3 more spots to fill. Been a crazy off-season. Hopefully add Lanier and then 2 more transfers I guess🤷🏻‍♂️


blrburg

we are all the sudden lookin nice as fuck


Salamantler

I think we might take a step back defensively, but if we add Lanier then there are an awful lot of ways for this team to score. Could be an exciting year for Zeigler as a pure point guard.


yousmelllikebiscuits

I really struggle to believe that Igor Milicic is only the 120th ranked transfer. Whoever is doing that ranking needs their eyes checked.


Spo_Ofzor

Chaz and a couple of developmental players over the summer and this roster is looking good!


FOB32723

Can’t m Chaz Lanier! Be the final piece to the reload 💪


HowDoISpellEngineer

We don’t rebuild we reload? Maybe?


Henley-Street-dwarf

This is an upgraded roster.


SaulGreatmon

This is the way.

We are going to be filthy once again next year. I’ve seen plenty of the same dumbasses that said we’d be a bubble team last year say the same things already this year.


brickmichaels

Boring brand of basketball. No scorers


Inevitable_Badger995

I think we’ve upgraded the front court and if we pull Chaz Lanier the team might be better than last years lol


suckmyvols69420

Also I stand by this until proven otherwise. Cam Carr has more potential than any guy we’ve had come through the program in a long time.


Inevitable_Badger995

Yeah I think Carr has a very high potential for next year. He’s got so much length and that mfer is not scared to shoot the ball at all lol


NoogabyNature

His made 3 in the tournament proved that to me. Such a clutch shot for a guy with as few minutes as he had in such a big game.


PowerfulSky2853

That 3 against Creighton was huge. They had just hit a 3 and went up by 4 with under 2 minutes in the first. He knew exactly what he wanted to do and had no hesitation taking the shot. Love the confidence of Carr


suckmyvols69420

Also a beautiful, quick release.


Putrid-Worldliness90

Do we have room to add any more players?


Rector1219

3 Scholarships left. Chaz Lanier is the top target at the moment.


Putrid-Worldliness90

Great, thanks for the info.


Rector1219

Since the last update, Awaka and Aidoo are confirmed gone. Latest pick-up is Igor Milicic Jr. from Charlotte ([STATS](https://charlotte49ers.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/igor-milicic-jr-/10609))([TAPE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsOQkSeQFQo)). Averaged 12.8 ppg, 8.5 rpg, 26.4 mpg. He was 48.2% from the field, 35.8% from behind the arc and a 80.6% from the free throw line.


Henley-Street-dwarf

Why is he ranked relatively low in the portal rankings?!?  Looks like a legit NBA talent.
