Hard to know in this era of portal ball just what the ceiling is for any team. I do expect an upgrade of talent for next year. A couple of impact players and some good role players and we will be back in business.

A couple of impact players and some good role players and we will be back in business. I hope so. But if the transition period is what hurt recruiting last year, it should hurt equally bad this year, especially if focusing on JUCO players since they won’t be eligible for the postseason in their career. Hernandez and AJ probably hold the keys of success next year. If both return just adding 1-2 pieces via recruiting will make us instantly better. If one or both leave it’s going to be paramount to hit on every single signee, which isn’t realistic.

Hard to know with the jucos. If Tillmon and McCord had stayed my thought is we would have won at least a few mores games. If the incoming jucos and transfers come in with the same talent level of those two, I would think we would be better. It's also true of getting better by subtraction. An impact player or two in the OVC goes a long way. I think AJ is iffy as far as returning. I think though, he would be wise to stay unless some team threw a lot of incentives his way. I think Hernandez is gone.

AJ’s lack of shooting will limit his minutes if he tries to portal up to a stronger conference. He would be wise to stay one more year, work on his skills and then portal up his final year.
