Not near as much as I thought. Bringing in Estrada and Wrightsell made the transition seamless and an upgrade. I do miss the occasional alley-oop he did well with Pringle. Now Bediako is a different story.Anybody missing JQ now?

maybe Nate’s extension impacted thisLooks.ljke we have to replace another assistant too. I find this kind of interesting since he just left Nicholls for us last year. I guess UTSA is a step up from Nicholls, but I figured he'd wait for something bigger.

Seems like a good addition considering we could potentially lose multiple guards this offseason. Also, I don't hate having a 6'5" PG. Love adding more length to what seems to be a pretty long team coming in next year.Transfer from Pepperdine:

I didn't see anything about him playing the point. I know we are kinda positionless but seems like more of a #2 guard.Seems like a good addition considering we could potentially lose multiple guards this offseason.

Noticed it when I looked him up on Pepperdine's website that it had him listed as PG, but he may or may not be bringing it up the floor. We shall see.I didn't see anything about him playing the point. I know we are kinda positionless but seems like more of a #2 guard.
Hopefully not, it always seems that there has been some sort of drama surrounding Pringle throughout the year..
I'm sort of hoping Pringle doesn't come back next year. Whatever his issues were for this season seemed to mess up the team chemistry, playing and then getting suspended and then back with the team. We probably suffered defensively some when he was out, but it seems we had better chemistry on offense when he was suspended.
Pringle is an offensive liability. He's played as much as he has because we lack size and strength in the paint and because of Grant Nelson's foul troubles.I'm sort of hoping Pringle doesn't come back next year.

The other kids love him. I think he’s silly and Oats is not.Pringle is an offensive liability. He's played as much as he has because we lack size and strength in the paint and because of Grant Nelson's foul troubles.
Replace Pringle with Noah Clowney and we are probably SEC champs and a strong contender to go to the FF.

I get the sense Nice isn’t much for putting out a lot of effort in practice. And that CNO ain’t about that.The other kids love him. I think he’s silly and Oats is not.
