Won't be hard to over achieve i think

4/28/2025 12:23:41 AM

I bet Copeland gets the start at the 3 and Breed at the 2. At least at first.

Gotta get at least one 5.

Wade said in interviews last season that Breed (before he got injured) was McNeese's best player. If he doesn't start, I bet he's first off the bench...I think he'd start over McNeil/Able for sure (TBD if we bring in another guard that's better). I assume we are bringing in 1-2 more starters. Zero chance we are rolling with a freshman Wilkins, he's probably at the end of the bench.

Holloman
Breed (or adding a better guard)
Arceneaux
Deng
(Another big)

I don't

I’m going to take a stand on this heated subject. People come to Sports Talk for hot takes and heated sports debate and I don’t want to deprive people of that.

I think Breed will start. If I’m wrong I’ll continue to post here but I’ll lose credibility. Literally all of my credibility is on the line with this prediction.

[Edited on May 2, 2025 at 6:41 PM. Reason : Mostly just wanna argue with Justin on this]

[Edited on May 2, 2025 at 6:41 PM. Reason : Maybe Breed, McNeil, and Able all start! We can all be right!!!]

5/2/2025 6:40:58 PM

Pg Copeland
Sg Mcneil
Sf able
Pf Langdon
C Breed

5/2/2025 7:00:37 PM

Agreed

5/2/2025 8:10:00 PM

Swap out Langdon for Amir “Aura” Khan and I don’t see us losing more than four games next season

5/2/2025 9:10:18 PM

Yesterday was Jordan Snell's birthday. One of only two returning players (McNeil being the other).

5/20/2025 12:55:02 PM

ACC champion Jordan Snell!

5/20/2025 12:55:40 PM

7pm Thursday against Clemson

Are we sure KJ Keatts isn't coming back????

5/27/2025 11:14:59 PM

No UNC road game this year, but we get to play UVA twice!!! Long live the ACC

5/28/2025 4:31:16 PM

UNC plays 2 games vs Duke, and 2 games vs their long-time rival Syracuse

"“K.J. makes me a better coach,” GRACE Christian’s DeShannon Morris said. “He’s so high IQ, it’s gotten to the point now where I don’t have to call a lot of plays – and, he’s been able to mentor other guys.” “If I were a college coach,” Morris added, “I would want a point guard like him.” Keatts, a 5-foot-10 senior, is averaging 2.7 points, 2.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 2.2 turnovers per game for the Eagles. He averages three field goal attempts per game, and he has cracked double-digit points exactly once (10 points on Jan. 6) while taking no more than nine shots in any of his team’s 24 contests."

How can a D1 coach’s kid be this bad?

6/4/2025 9:41:33 AM

IDK i think it's pretty impressive that he knew he wasn't very good and limited his own shots!

Also this makes it even more impressive that he actually scored in a college game.

Also i think you are forgetting about his 5 star ability to be flown like an airplane by his teammates

I wonder when Breed will actually start practicing. He's been noticeably missing from all the pics/vids posted by the team on social media from practices, only showing him in meetings and whatnot

6/11/2025 8:24:20 PM

Secret weapon. Best player on the team. Probably doesn’t need to practice. And no need to give opponents an edge if they catch a glimpse of him in practice

Dang thats wicked smart

^ is that good or bad??

6/12/2025 9:12:23 AM

Obviously bad because we should be ranked #1 and not from 5 to 20.

6/12/2025 9:39:25 AM

Somewhere between 5 and 20 is my predictions for losses this year

6/12/2025 10:12:30 AM

Did they account for the "all our players are bad" factor?

6/12/2025 11:24:39 AM

I am concerned because alyn breed, who is our best player, is actually our 3rd worst player according to this guy!

6/12/2025 11:59:30 AM

He's not taking into account intangibles. It’s why analytics alone will never win titles.
