Do not start this shit again here. Edit: down vote me all you want, but this already devolved into a shit show once. Be mature and control your side of things. We'll expect the same for Derka. Bu

Probably because we have a bunch of new players in their 3rd game with the team who are still learning to play together.  Add in injuries as well.  Blowouts matter so you don’t want walk ons turning a 50 point game into a 25 point win.

 

Yeah you're totally right starters playing together and gelling is the most important thing. Only 3 guys from last years team back, I forget that in the portal era CBB is essentially just reshuffling the deck every year.

Overall I think this year's team has the potential to be a lot better than last year's team.  Better defending, better rebounding, better size, better roster construction. If the two teams played each other, I think 2025 would have the advantage at almost every position.

Point Guard

  • Hunter '24 = Pope '25 - This one is pretty close overall, but I give the slight edge to Pope due to FT% and lack of turnovers.
  • Abmas '24 < Johnson '25 - Abmas was good, but Johnson is better in almost every way. 
  • Weaver '24 < Weaver '25 - Weaver has improved in all facets vs. last year
  • Horton '24 < Larry '25 - Larry has better defense, handles, vision, shot, everything

Forward

  • Mitchell '24 << Mark '25 - Mark is a drastically better all-around player. 
  • Disu '24 > Kaluma '25 - Disu is better but it is close. Disu drifting out to the perimiter drove me crazy. Kaluma's approach with defense and rebounding leads to more wins.
  • Cunningham '24 < Kent '25 - Brock was a mess last year. The refs rightfully targeted him. He was a constant technical risk. 

Center

  • Shedrick '24 << Shedrick '25 - A healthy Shedrick will be much improved
  • Onyema '24 << Onyema '25 - Onyema looks lighter on his feet and more comfortable this year

Other depth

  • Vinson and Pryor provide some depth that we didn't have last year.

The main edge I would give 2024 over 2025 is in overall athleticism.  Hunter and Mitchell are more athletic than their counterparts in 2025. But they are way behind in skill level.
