is there a typo here? I don't see A&M anywhere.

You will after next year probably.

For those fans that have been around longer than me (2006), when was the last time we were ranked in the top 25 in the preseason? '91/'92/'93?

perhaps, but with a program with their historical resources, it says a lot. we started with nothing. they didn't. maybe they will but I don't think they will be better than LSU. At the end of the day, they're not there now.

We just need to have a good showing against Gonzaga and IU etc.

I don't give a crap about Texas A&M. It's been a good week.

Who cares if you don't give a crap about A&M. It has been a decent week but we still need a big. Did you play any sports at all?

I'm with you that we need help at the 4/5 but we still have options - Thomas, McDuffie, JUCO and 2016. The fact that Tolbert will be around next season is huge. I guess it is uncertain if Markus will return for his senior season but we could add a JUCO big and McDuffie to Tolbert and Ben Moore. I think we get McDuffie as he visits next weekend. If we don't get Thomas I'm sure the staff will focus on a true big in the 2016 class.

Marques Bolden is the big to go after in 2016. Think he and A$AP Ferg might be a package deal..

Again, McDuffie is not a big. He is a tweener with 3 skills. And we don't know if he grows any taller than 6'7.

Okay. I've never seen him play so I don't have an opinion with the confidence you seem to have. I've been told by an analyst that they could see him growing into a PF and still adding a few inches, but who knows.

And again, I'll trust LB. I've absolutely no reason not to.

I read that as well. I guess he could grow a couple of inches but that is the chance we will have to take if we don't get the JC center. I just don't think it is good that it has come down to this.

trust in the Godfather.

Has nothing to do with trusting in him. I think he is doing as well as he can but we could not get the freshman class that he probably wanted. Again, we will be to get a body to fill in a gap and that will help us in being competitive in the AAC but it will not help in the goal Coach Brown has set for winning a national championship.
