    This team with the current roster setup has a chance to be very very good again. I would like to see one big added in the late signing period.

    Whatever Tech's roster looks like in 2016, it has the chance to be the most talented in recent memory even without the most winningest seniors in program history.

    Glad you posted that. Saw it earlier and I think he is spot on as to where the potential extra spot comes from and the preference to be able to play Alex at the 2 spot.

    Mike said last night after the game to Dave & Jack that he was going to start an offseason
    weight program today and put 10 pounds muscle on each player for next year. I think he did
    his best coaching job this year! We all remember that Speedy, Appleby and Mike were 4 yr seniors and Hamilton was a starter last year but the remainder of the team was new and most
    were Freshmen. Takes more than 4 good players to make a very good team and this one
    won the regular season CUSA Championship and lost to Home team that won the CUSA Tournament.

    And I think Temple might win the NIT.

    Very true! I saw them play SMU three times and all three they started out like last night but had a lull but not much last night! SMU won all three! Wish the Dog's would have been able to
    make the come back last night but when Speedy went down it seemed the Team lost it and were just trying to finish the game.

    I'd love for Coach Mike White to use the late Tommy Joe Eagles's method of adding some bulk on the tall guys. He made the team sit and watch PJ Brown eat two desserts each time the team was eating out on the road. Team effort!

    Im assuming there is already a program in place but perhaps he means he's going to push harder. We are substantially under weight and weak on the inside which shows up against teams like Temple, NCState and even UAB. J White needs to be 240-250, Holden 230-240, same for McCree and all our 6'8" guys. Need a mailman strength training program just for our bigs. Karl was always strong and played at a good weight. Holden shows flashes of strength down low but no confidence. McCree has developed a finesse game but if he could get stronger down low and go straight to the rim - same for White, it would make such a difference offensive not to mention the ability to rebound and be stronger in post defense.
    We MUST develop an inside presence or the same thing that has happened the last 2-3 years will continue to repeat itself. Can't rely on the 3 ball and full-court press turnover offense must add some half court offensive and defensive strength in the paint.

    Sounds like he is pretty invested on continuing to build the team next year.

    I don't know about the muscle mass idea. DFM was long and lean with a lot of length then he added quite a bit of muscle mass which seemed to slow him by a few steps and took several inches off his vertical.

    Re: 2015-2016 Basketball Roster

    Without considering the impact of newcomers, I think we can be great next year. To me, Speedy is hardest to replace with Kyser as a close second. Raheem is tough too but not as much as those 2. Also, I think a lot of our issues stemmed from the fact that we started 3 pretty small guards. We should be bigger next year. Holden and White give us 2 at the 5. McCree and ?? will play the 4. Xavian and Davis at the 3. That lineup is bigger than most we played this year.

    Boykins at the 2 with Dayon who will probably split time at the 1. Hamilton of course. We need another 1 guard and another 4. 4 should come from either Branden Sheppard or maybe the visiting Juco I saw mentioned on social media (Justin Leon I think)

    I expect to see more zone next season and less pressing. Our man defense was weak at times. Still think we missed Chris Anderson - McCree just wasn't as quick though I think he is as good as Chris or better everywhere else. Also, Holden and White aren't as quick as Kyser. So, I don't see us being able to switch every screen the way we have the past three years which is what made our man D so effective. With both Anderson and Kyser gone and with a bigger lineup, I expect to see more zone.

    We want play much zone -

    It will be straight up man

    Hamilton got caught a lot this year on the switches and left the back open, and that's when McCree picked up a lot of his fouls helping out

    X is a straight up defender and will get the lock down assignment

    Boykins will be better

    And Joniah has a mean streak that Kyser never had, but he will block a lot of shots with both of his feet on the ground
