Great news! I'm guessing Ethan will come back too?
We've got a chance next year...

We better be dancing next year. The focus must be making and advancing in the tourney. Great chance to move the program forward! We we will be a sub 500 pac 12 team next year and it’s going to be ugly. Tinkle is a horrible coach and recruiter. He’ll be gone after the boys leave the program

It will be interesting to see how long Wayne lasts after Tres leaves next year. The program has been built around the coaches kids and once they are gone there won't be much left. The coaches kids should keep us somewhat competitive next year, but I doubt it gets us to the Dance. Last year was our best chance and it wasn't good enough.

Count me in on next year going to the dance. Looking back we were really close last year. Tres is a quality person & player on and off the court. Welcome back Tres!!! Look forward 2 it!

I think we go to the dance this year. Tres, Ethan and Kelley are only going to get better. Plus, I really think that Hollins will shake off the Sophomore slump next year. I'm excited to see the Freshmen and Sean Miller Moore. We were really close last year. I think we get it done next year.
Also, I'm really excited to see Antoine Vernon this next season. I liked him at the point and seems like a great team player.

Consider me cautiously optimistic. I want to believe in this team and want to see them succeed, and I think the talent is there to do so. I like the core group of guys we have coming back, I like the new class coming in (esp. with the two recent additions), and I think the team will be better and easier to watch (e.g. more consistent) than last year's.
I say cautiously optimistic because I think the PAC will also be significantly better than last year, and we play a much tougher schedule at least on paper. These all can be good things because our SOS/RPI/NET should benefit from it, but you still have to win enough games. an 18-12 (10-8) record on this next year's schedule would be significantly better than that same record from this year's schedule. But again, you have to actually go out and do it.
We'll see. I'm willing to be patient and give WT and crew next season to prove that they have what it takes. The season can't get here soon enough.

Same cast minus Stevie (the next 3 on the roster COMBINED basically equal his output), 8th-10th ranked recruiting class, other teams returners will also improve plus better recruits. Love see how we're any closer? Maybe hope springs eternal, but even on paper we're not better.

HAHA! I see the negaBeavs are out making sure we all keep our expectations in check.
All you "fans" need to let it go. The team still has 2 sons on the team. All 3 sons have done nothing but conduct themselves as true Beavs. Yes, we didn't make it to the final 4 like we all wanted to see with the sons all together during Tinkle's 3rd or 4th year. Sh!t happens. Like always, there were bumps in the road. It didn't happen, and they came up just short of making the dance. You don't have to like the timeline, but the team IS improving.
Tinkle is at minimum, a decent coach. More importantly, he is a quality person and a great ambassador for OSU. Win or lose we have a coaching staff, players, and a team we can all be proud of. No drama. No infighting. No questionable behavior, on or off the court. Good students. No recruiting violations or a program being constantly investigated because of shady moves like the program down the road.
All you "I know the TRUTH because I DEMAND better" fans need to ask yourselves just what you really want, because things could be MUCH worse than they are. Hell, we have a LONG history of things being much worse, and just as the program is starting to gain traction a bunch of you want to blow it all up. Because the grass is greener? Are you sure???
I agree with most here that we should make the dance this year. I think SMM and JF will push Hollins to get better and for playing time. I would argue that with the addition of Big Li, this recruiting class is by far the best recruiting class under Tinkle. And none of them are sons. I don't know how this class stacks up as far as star value, but both Li and Gianni Hunt are going to fill major needs for the team, and both are program changing kind of talents. Anything that Miller-Moore, Franklin, and Lucas can add to the equation is gravy. And those guys are NOT chumps.

Who said it was anything but stellar. Oh yeah... cuz it was never mentioned. On top of that the discussion was on wins/making the "dance"... player conduct really has ZERO to do with that. If it did we'd be dancing quite often as I don't remember a major DB issue for quite some time. And... again... 8th-10th rated class = chumps? Way to just fabricate your own lexicon. Facts are... every team will expect returners to improve and push others to improve... OSU has a bottom tier class (again)... we lost one of our top players with no significant player to match that output without a SIGNIFICANT jump in performance... in 5 years there has been no sign of significant player development as a team. And, lastly my post was pointed to the two statements that OSU was "close/very close"... NO... JUST NO... THEY WERE NOT.

Wasn't really talking to you dude, but it's interesting that you squarely pick up the mantle against what I said. My point is that our class is not chumps. I really don't care what the recruiting rankings say. These guys are legit. You are the one making up your own reality. Rail agaist something I didn't say all you want.
