just my jmho, but i think tang overachieved both in recruiting (i know last minute recruiting is a lot easier now, but still) and in coaching his roster.

they're a nice little team, and there's no reason they should be.

Not just bringing in and winning with a group of largely unheralded transfers plus a former star who hadn't played in two years, but also a brand new coaching staff first year all working together at a brand new school for them all and it's his first year as the head man.  Not to mention that he had inherited a corpse oscar had been dry humping for three straight years.  Wild.

Being a pessimist I do worry he's going to be a victim of his own success this season.

Yes very good chance we'll be worse next year and our fans will lose their ever-loving crap. I mean they already do.

But also a chance he finds another player in the portal who makes a Keyontae-esque impact.

I think it's a hell of a lot harder than he's made it look this year.  Illinois is testament to that.  Though to his credit, maybe he's just personally cut out for this college basketball landscape.  An eye for talent, the ability to close on them and then get them to all buy in in relatively no time at all.  A portaling savant.  Very big dick for you all if he is.

I don’t think we will drop off next year.

Are nowell and johnson guaranteed gone?  I honestly can't keep track with all these covid years.

I don't either. His recruiting class is very good. We know he and his staff are good technicians, and he's absolutely the type of coach that players will love to play for and will have a great rep among other players and coaches.

Nowell is done, Johnson has another year of eligibility, but he's 100% gone.

We allegedly turned away 2 more top 100 HS kids for 2023 if that tells you anything about Tang’s mindset. He isn’t taking his foot off the gas.

We will drop off.  We got incredibly lucky early in the conference in that Nowell was semi-conscious and put up numbers he couldn't sustain.  I don't see that happening with next years roster

Keep in mind that between three to five of our games will be replaced with games against UCF, Cincinnati, and BYU.

We may not finish 3rd again, because Houston is incoming, but 11-7 is not out of reach by any means.

I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect to the 3 seed again

Based on the returning roster and newcomers I'd be surprised if he surpassed that and the solid seed next season. That doesn't mean he can't after hitting the portal and I am confident he can surpass it in future seasons!

Do I need to explain it's based on what we know now?

I was saying that based on what we know now.

If our current players actually love playing for our coach as much as they appear, portal dudes will be looking for Tang.

we’re going to suck next year.

Nowell and Johnson are the whole team.

We will still have talent and probably have some wtf wins but also a lot of bad losses

oscar won the big 12 his first season and eventually surpassed that taking us to the elite 8 (and winning the big 12 again). No reason Tang can’t as well. Although I have doubts he will be better than oscar his 2nd season

Talking about next year’s preseason expectations right now seems pretty dumb, especially given the accuracy of this year’s preseason expectations.

If Tang coaches here as long as oscar, we’ll get another E8 and probably FF.
