Anyone excited about a Phillips and Estrella front line next season?

[THEONLYTENISEE]

Exactly. I think this is Boswell’s team next year if he chooses to stay. I hope he realizes that he didn’t get on the floor a lot this regular season because of Ziegler’s ability to play nearly all 40 minutes and Gainey being first guard off bench.

I hope if Barnes stays another year, he lets Boswell know he’s the PG of this team

Most of the insiders say Boswell gets recruited over.

 

[VOLLeeann]

I'm not trying to look to forward rigt now. Who knows what the roster will look like next season? Barnes may retire.

I hear you but I would hope Barnes announces his retirement, at least, one full season ahead.

 

[VOLLeeann]

Needing some guards.

And a replacement for the outside presence of Lanier, Knecht etc.

 

[The Tall Gguy]

I am afraid Barnes is retiring and everyone on scholarship is transferring.

Don’t tell us, your cousin’s fiancés half brother’s manager at Sav-a-Lot has a source deep inside the program?

 

[Legion of Doom]

Barnes is not retiring. They are in on 3 top level recruits with a good shot at least with one of them. Also have identified multiple players for transfer that are all good scorers. Evans and Brown are good recruits coming in as well.

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

Next year is going to be really bad if we don’t find some guys in the portal

That's been said at the end of the last two seasons

 

[Legion of Doom]

Next year we will be great. We are in on several top transfers and Berries is a stud.

 

[CAVPUT]

Cade continuing to develop and a healthy Estrella could be lethal. Barnes being an "old school" coach might like to see these two guys through, implementing a heavy inside/outside offense????!!

Where's the "outside" coming from? Who do you turn to for your outside shooting? Who replaces ZZ? Still a long way to go for rebuilding this roster thanks to some of our recruits moving to perceived greener pastures.

 

[Creeker]

Ncaa is leaning towards all athletes getting 5 years as part of NIL and also allow kids to further degrees. Redshirts would be part of 5 year.

That ain’t happening at least not this year. Hardly a month ago now it was reported that no such proposal has even been brought to the table.

 

[first time caller]

If he retires, who knows what our roster will be next year. Coach Barnes is the type of guy that has already discussed this with our AD, so hopefully wheels are turning already if he has decided this year is it for him.

We'll be fine

Nope. Just a feeling.

He reminded of the play of BJ Edwards last year. No notable play even when they made no mistakes just not much to look at and be hopeful IMO. As fast as they caught the ball it was right back to another teammate.

I don’t think he retires this year.

I think this coming year will be the worst though. Only 1 potential returning starter.

I’ll take your word on it. I’m not as well informed on who we are pursuing in the transfer portal

 

[first time caller]

I don’t think he retires this year.

I hope you are right. I like Coach Barnes.

 

[THEONLYTENISEE]

I hope you are right. I like Coach Barnes.

That and I don’t think there’s anybody available right now. It will be a coach known for high scoring.

 

[snappervol]

Plus Okpara.

Needing some guards.

Longing for the Keon and Jaden types. What a difference elite gaurd play creates.

 

[Legion of Doom]

I expect all 3 seniors to be back. Just takes one athlete like Pavia to sue like Pavia did.

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

Boswell needs to make a leap in the offseason

Its going to be big leap for him, hope he can make it IF he is the PG. As was posted by another, don't be surprised if he gets recruited over and becomes the backup next season.

Or Osuna

You mean not as good, right? SMDH

Maybe he has privatley. It would be very much within Barnes' personality to not want to take recognition and the spotlight from this senior group and from Bob Kessling and Bertlekamp who are retiring.
