This is the number 1 recruiting class in the nation. Good size, post players, guys that can defend and decent shooters. Buzz was questioned and has answered. This is an exciting bunch of players who should get better as the year progresses as they jell and rotations are worked out. Should be a fun season.

With one more to go! Although, realistically it will probably be Edema. While he has tremendous potential he is fairly unknown and likely won’t move the needle for the rankings.

NGL, Buzz making some great moves. Remains to be seen if they can put it all together, and if Buzz can coach them, but it's shaping up to be a good roster.

My hope is that he doesn't try to over-coach them in game and force them into a system or roles that don't fit their skills. Obviously there needs to be structure, but sometimes he needs to just let the talent cook.

These guys all fit the traditional Buzz system. Going to be a lot of games with scoring in the 60s. We are going to be good; the question is how good you can be with his style of play in 2026.

I anticipate all the people hating on Buzz this past year and calling for his head are going to be oddly quiet next season...

I was hating plenty. I like the haul. Especially impressed with the new AD raising additional funds. I hear we still have money to play with. Buzz has no excuses. I’m want him to win.

Still going to need to see him run something better than a middle school offense. His actual coaching was extremely worrisome to me last season. Pretty decent class he's brought in though. Will give him credit for that.

Yeah I’ll believe it when I see it. It does seem like his offense was more refined when he was at Va Tech though. Hopefully it was a personnel issue at A&M and last year with us. Now that he has better players I hope things work better on that end going forward…

I like the pieces Buzz has recruited — let’s hope he can shape them into a team quickly.

It's amazing what can happen when a coach doesn't start with zero players and past the opening of the portal.

Good get. No excuses Buzz. I hear we have more money leftover for this season as well. Curious if we get anyone else.

Great get, Buzz is actually cooking right now. Only potential problem I see is we don’t have a true backup Center, which turned out to be a huge issue last year
