Exactly. Any talk about Sehic and the “next level” is crazy.

No word on who or what type but obviously hoping for a player with some size. We know Hunter likes to talk hype and he's talked it about Koka. I hope he can figure out how to use him . However we heard a lot of hype from MD last year about him going into the season. Then his deficiencies were exposed and his time cut. But even if he doesn't work out and the transfer isn't a big man I'm confident Hunter can figure out how to scheme around it as he's had to do his whole career.
While I’m sure Hunter would be glad to have a talented big man, I just have a gut feeling that his teams will usually be comprised of athletic players in the 6’4” to 6’8” range. Perry Clark’s old Posse was like that.

Sehic gone. I'm assuming this means he's going to pursue playing in Europe. I have as good a chance of getting drafted in the NBA as he does.

Cornish, Paul, Sehic, Daniels, Crabtree, Barret and Wood gone. Is that just about all of the competive man minutes from last year's team other than Koka and Zhang?

So now that's settled, who's next to commit to the Wave?

I think there is one more transfer in the pipeline...waiting for the grades/transcipt to be approved

Clear as a bell. Dunleavy ran a half-assed program. Something that was painfully obvious from what we saw on the court.

Hunter basically said as much during his initial press conference.

Do we know if there's mutual interest? This would be a HUGE get for Tulane. He might be eligible immediately with two years left.

no matter who else happen to be on Tulanes team, next year will see a more athletic, aggressive, put the ball in your face team dressed in green....compared to the last three years, this will look like Nolan Richardson's "40 minutes of hell" when he was at Arkansas

I'm trying to figure out the roster, and it looks like we might often play 3 or 4 guards! Please help fill in the missing pieces, but here's what I came up with:

Thompson (G)
Walker (G)
Ona Embo (G)
Zhang (G/F)
Koka (C)
Ajang (F)
Thomas (G)
Lawson (G)
Russell (F) (174 lbs at 6'7" prob needs a RS year)

I think I'm missing 3 or 4 scholarship players.

Now that is something to aspire to—I hope you’re right Golf.

Hoping the team is much improved but I heard the same BS when Dunleavy came in and underperformed. We know Hunter has a big mouth and ego, but will that translate into wins. Only time will tell what the outcome will be. Dunleavy did not recruit badly as some of you have said. Let's see how Wood, Crabtree, Daniels all perform with their new teams. And see how the Dunleavy left overs perform for Hunter. Dunleavy just did not adjust to the college game, his coaching was very suspect. But the jury is out on next years team, blowing smoke does not mean wins. Settle down give Hunter a chance and don't put anymore pressure on him then he will have coming off of last season.

Thank you!

There's only one direction this team can go from last year: up!

It has to be a team that's more fun to watch than the $hitshow that was on the court the last few years. Though we might be the skinniest team in D1 basketball!

Looking forward to seeing this guy finally get on the court for us:



Some irony to his situation. He was brought in by Dunleavy but I actually think he will excel more under Hunter.
