Could be a sleeper hire.

Could be a sleeper hire.

Well, we know Dr. Maggard will look at Missouri if there's something he needs. So, Smithpeters will likely get a call, if not already.

Nothing is going to be publicly done until the season is over. Coach Zim will probably apply, but I’m expecting all new faces next year, including the team.

Yes, the squad next year will be relatively new. However, some of the guys on the team now may choose to remain as they may not get many attractive portal offers. I bet the new coach tries to retain guys like Brandon Hardy and Jeremiah Evans. Hardy is a good defensive guard and Evans just needs to be developed. You can't teach a guy to be 6'10" as Evans is. We also signed two guys in the early signing period. They are free to move on as we will have a new HC. The new guy may like them and try to convince them to come here. I would not be surprised if the guard from Pearl River JC goes wherever Coach Zimmerman ends up. Coach Z recruited him and they are both from Wossman HS

Why would we hire this guy when we already had Marlin that won 75% of his games. We will need to take a big step up. LoL
