2026-2027 Roster?

Isn't developing young talent looking to the future part of the duties of a coaching staff? Is this staff doing that?

You can't just leave out that they can enter the portal and get stupid money at the drop of the hat

Ugh...Atak was a guy I hope would stay and continue to develop. You can't blame him for leaving, though. If many on this Board were questioning his inconsistent playing time / rotation, you can bet his inner circle was doing the same. If this guy can figure out how to play even average defense, he could be a major addition to some program.

Atak will play in the NBA .. IMHO

I'd pump the brakes on Mayfield being much of a factor next season. Reasons why:

1. Super young. Just turned 18 last month.
2. Not a super skilled guy. Not a greater shooter. Potential is largely around athleticism.
3. Is described as a hybrid-4 with a long-term outlook that could see him develop into a wing. Doesn't have the skills to play wing yet, offensively.

A 6'7 (even if he does have a 7'1 wingspan) 18 year old with limited skills, despite good athleticism, is going to have a hard time fighting other 4's in the SEC. IMO.
