The one question I was hoping for was about the seniors who might want to give it a go for another year. Is there a deadline for seniors to request another year? If memory serves me right, scholarships are given on a yearly basis so just because a senior might want to go another year doesn't mean Tech would like for them to do so. It sounds like Tech has already signed 3 "quality" incoming freshmen. I was a little surprised when I saw Arkansas started 3 freshman. As we saw with Junior, just because someone is a freshmen doesn't mean they can't play at a high level.

Based on Arkansas' opening 3 minutes vs Baylor, methinks Junior's just too good to play in the $EC.

he has said in other interviews that he will be sitting down with everyone in the next two weeks. as of today, we have 4 spots open out of the traditional 13. we could go over 13 for one year based upon the covid year senior exception, but i doubt we would do that because of finances.

i don’t expect any more than 2 to return and then we will likely hit the transfer portal which will b huge because of the automatic eligibility of all transfers this year.

my preference if it is only 2 would b an athletic shot blocker and a true 3D combo guard

Let's hope that he doesn't want to find out how he would stack up in the SEC.
