‘26-27 Schedule

We pretty confident that Battle 4 Atlantis will be over Thanksgiving again?  Looks like it has been for at least the last several years.

I doubt we add another big at this point, but we're recruiting hat Canadian guard who would join up this summer should we sign him. Stiff competition with Providence and St. John's in on him as well.

I agree that going in with Caedin as the backup substantially lowers both floor and ceiling, which is a shame because we have no idea if Nigel (or any of these guys with NBA-type bodies) will be there the season after. What we CANNOT do is run him out as a starter in 27-28. If Nigel, Adrien, Royce, Damarius, MPIII, and Minessale are all back, that stacked lineup of seniors and juniors could be as competitive as our best MU teams. The long-term loss of Sheek could really hurt us.

I'm not ruling out that Caedin or Josh can be serviceable backups, that's actually a likely scenario. But that feels like their ceiling. We'll need to drop $$$ on a starting big man again next cycle.

This is how I find out it's no longer the Bad Boy Mowers Battle 4 Atlantis?!?!?!? 

They really downgraded with the Marquette vs. Oklahoma Bad Boy Mower Series at UIC.

If another big is not added, the only way Caedin substantially lowers our floor and ceiling as a back up is if Fru gets hurt.

If so, I have confidence that Shaka will do just that.
