I don't know how many others caught this, but in the post game presser, when Golden mentioned Tommy would start for most any other program in the country, he also said "he's starting for us next year." With all the talk of pro potential I've been hearing, and when you hear guys like Stan Van Gundy, who was a former coach, praising him all game long, you think maybe he takes a chance on the NBA. But with him back (hopefully Golden knows something), and hopefully Condon, who has only been average this tournament, along with the rest of the guys, we are looking at another great season next year. Would love to see what Tommy can do at the 3. We'll have enough bigs he could probably play there full time.
I can tell you this… there is no expected attrition. I guess anything can happen, but it would be very surprising if the guys who can come back… are not back.
Coming into this year, Haugh was our highest ranking NBA prospect from what I read. It surprised me and made me think of Chandler Parsons…another guy that I had no clue would put it all together early in their career. Who would’ve thought he would improve his FT and 3PT shooting as much as he has in a year. He’s a high effort guy with good size and now I can see what the scouts are seeing.
Wouldn't be surprised if some of our guys put their name in the draft for feedback. That makes sense for Haugh/Condon in particular.
The UAA needs to get Tebow to make a speech to the team in San Antonio. Imagine how hyped that would get Tommy and the rest of them.
I believe most if not all of our good players will return. They will either want to win a back to back natty or win it all. Plus, I really believe they love playing for TG. My wish list would be to add 3 portal players, one point guard, one shooting guard and a 250 lb forward or center.
