On paper is it me, or does this roster seem like a step down from last year?
Much better guard options this year, front court is light as of now. Hoping they add some more size.

I think offense is a bit more capableâŠâŠthe Wilson add certainly helps defensivelyâŠ.
Gonna need to make a couple of calls for a bigâŠ.doesnât even need to score.
I think most of our recent bigs are playing somewhere.
I like this TBT squad. Galen and Rob is a trip down memory lane. No Fabian this year but he didnât play the first few games last year and was only a complimentary player last year. As @Pollardsvision said, this yearâs squad needs a big.

I was fine with Mills, but adding players who never played for UH is pretty weird lol. Maybe they just needed to fill the roster?

@ghostofjdjrusk probably just need to fill the roster. TBT is unpaid.
You can win $1 million. If you win the whole thing. Losers get nothing
So guys like Corey Davis Jr, are playing in Canada right now, getting some $, instead of TBT
Josh Carlton, Fabian White, Justin Gorham, etc are just resting their bodies for the next upcoming season. Instead of playing in TBT
Some of these guys are late 20s, some above 30 (Rob Gray). If you need a break from hoops, you dont play TBT. Go on vacation

Thatâs a really good front court rotation with Roberts, Cross and Davis with Pollard giving min when we need them.
Robinson gives this team what they didnât have last season, a PG who can handle the ball and run the offense. He is also a ball stopper at the top. Last season had a lot of holes but they made up for it with culture.
What they need is a couple guys who can really drain threes and they didnât have that last season either. Hopefully a couple of the guys not former Coogs can fill the roles.

Radford was tough to contain. His athleticism will be welcomed and anyone who can consistently hit a three. If Francis isnât invited to an NBA training camp would love to add him to the roster.

Is our game not Sunday since we received a bye? The schedule I see was 3 days ago and may have changed.
