Been watching closely as to what the future holds. To be honest I am not sure but hopeful. It seems Baldwin has recruited some talent and athleticism we have not seen in some years. The roster looks deeper and stronger. There is a 4 Star recruit and I would guess T’jon was a three or four having been recruited by Illinois. Deandre is a top 50 JUCO recruit. Simms a top 100. The first year players appear strong. Vin Baker Jr. is the missing link. If he can fit in, create, and score, create matchup problems I believe we should be a lot stronger. Brown and Wilbourn will have to work and produce. Can’t wait to see this group in action.

I really like the guys the coaches have brought in, and I'm excited for Te'Jon to lead this time. Hopefully some extra time for off season work will go a long way this year. Chemistry with this team is probably going to make or break the season... same with the aggressiveness and grit that I hope we bring this year. A hard nose team will go a long way in this conference, so hopefully this roster can bring that mentality. I also really agree on Vin Baker, I think he will be the X-factor for this team, so if he's able to bring us scoring + I will be pretty optimistic with our chances!

It would have been nice to add a big but I like this teams size. In The Horizon League quickness will beat size. Pressure and toughness from 6’3” to 6’9” guys who will win 50/50 situations will win games. Last years group, liked their hustle, lost too many possessions because it lacked team quickness. I think Baldwin and staff recognized that and are trying to correct it.

Quick overview of the roster/possible starting lineup for next year
PG: Te'Jon Lucas SG: Josh Thomas SF: Courtney Brown Jr. PF: Vin Baker Jr. C: CJ Wilbourn
Bench 6: Tafari Simms 7: Amir Allen 8: DeAndre Gholston 9: Devon Hanc*** 10: Tyler Ellingson 12: Grant Coleman 12: Keliem Taylor 13: Donovan Newby
Going to be interesting to see how Baldwin manages all these transfers, freshman, and even Ellingson who didn't play last year. My thought has always been that Baldwin brought Ellingson in because he played at Hamilton with his son. Hopefully this is another sign that Baldwin has serious interest in playing for his dad.

We sure did and the two trouble makers were Darius and DeAndre were the one who disrupted the team last year! And getting rid of the rest of bums should really help the one I’m worried about is Vin jr I hearing not a lot of confidence in him we will see just warning you what I’ve been hearing!

I'm willing to bet BlackPanther gif wasn't a reference to a coach or player on the team.

Coaches have a problem on there hand. They were out coached and out played and they must take responsibility for tast weekend terrible performance. Now the players are Very upset how this process was going on why continue to draw the same plays for Lucas and no one else and the other team knew what was happening and killed us for doing that. Lucas has struggled terribly this year no question about it. This is creating tension that we don’t need but it’s here and it’s bad and because of it the results are guys playing for themselves that’s why we’ve seen all these terrible shots no passing the ball no offensive rebounding players are pissed!!!! Which isn’t good for the team and I’m afraid that the team is lost which is sad. But it can be fixed I think players are upset and it’s unhealthy right now just look at the body language of the players you can see the difference in the last two weeks have been like night and day. Coaches hurry up and fix this before the season is lost. I’ve got a bad feeling about Friday night fellas! I’m out!!!!

This season is trending like all previous Baldwin seasons: Win a handful of games early, then a long, painful regression.

It’s been a long season but moves have to be made and will be made. Who’s not happy is the question.
