May not be about looking at someone who is higher...might be leading some other teams on that have screwed Bruce in the past or coaches that always seem to put him down.

Nick Smith has been playing really good ball lately. I could see Bruce liking him more than Cruz.

I agree on Smith.

And he is an Ark kid, so I'm sure Flanigan has the right connections. Just not sure they can pull him away from KY or the other top schools on him, incl Ark and Alabama....

From another free board: concern with on-court team chemistry...mention of him being a "black hole" on offense.

I’m not sure. It didn’t say in the tweet, but if you look up “College Hoops Today” on Spotify or the apple podcasts app, his show pops up. Doesn’t look like it’s been released yet but should be around today since the last episode was a week ago.

Remember too that Bruce is a straight shooter. If he thinks we suck he will say it, and if he says we are good then we are most likely a really good team.

FYI...latest on Nick SMith Jr

....4-star guard Nick Smith announces new top 8, eliminates pro route

Smith will no longer consider the professional route and has cut the NBL and the Overtime Elite league. Memphis and Arkansas Pine-Bluff have been added as their replacements. Kentucky, Alabama, Auburn, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Kansas round out his list.

Did he really say this? BP doesn’t usually talk like that unless he’s pretty confident.

Yep… podcast link. Had lots of good stuff to say about the new guys on the team and how competitive the league will be this year.

To add context, he said something to the effect that we could make it to the final four but finish anywhere from 1-9 in the SEC considering the talent and depth in the league.

This matches up with some second hand information I've heard from someone who has attended a few practices recently. Sounds like there is a lot of confidence around this team from people inside the program.
