Re: 2024-25 Roster Breakdown & Wishlist
The question of the roster may be will anyone return for next season?

well this is going fine
gentle reminder that USM dominated the sun belt regular season a season ago with an entirely new roster. IT CAN BE DONE

Re: 2024-25 Roster Breakdown & Wishlist
So we have Tate and Wilson returning, for now. We have plenty of PT to offer guys at least.

Pretty sure Wilson was in a walking boot most of the season too.

Looking at this portal bloodbath, my thoughts are we are looking for a new coach too. The announcement just hasn’t been made yet.

Re: 2024-25 Roster Breakdown & Wishlist
How many examples are there for mid major teams who won 20+ games then lost their entire roster, retooled and won 20 the following season? If Kerns is truly deemed to be a reasonably hot commodity no way he sticks around to go 14-17 next season.

Re: 2024-25 Roster Breakdown & Wishlist
Id say we will get an announcement next week. I have seen people saying April 1st is a date to watch with his contract. This had been udder demolition at a level I have never seen. I hope we remember 23-24 for the 27 wins and the regular season conference championship but sadly alot of people will remember it for what is currently taking place.

Re: 2024-25 Roster Breakdown & Wishlist
Maybe this is a negotiation tactic.
Kerns demands a BIG raise and if they meet it then all these guys on portal come back with him. If not, everybody is gone? Basically team union forcing school to up coaches salary or else.
Who knows? Does anybody have a better explanation?

Re: 2024-25 Roster Breakdown & Wishlist
Maybe Kerns let the team know he was moving on. CJ takes his senior day. The team underperforms in the post season and we are left with nothing. Who knows?AtlAppMan wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2024 10:32 amMaybe this is a negotiation tactic.

Re: 2024-25 Roster Breakdown & Wishlist
I'm with you. I don't think Kerns is doing that. It would not surprise me if a couple players withdraw from the portal but I doubt that Kerns is blackmailing us.BallantyneApp wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2024 10:49 amI doubt it.

Re: 2024-25 Roster Breakdown & Wishlist
Good thinking; recruit our own coach & staff all over again! When/If that sticks to the wall, recruit a new, legit, D-I MBB team! No big prob, mon...
