For those of you who have followed my diatribes over the years, you've heard me talk a lot about culture. Well, that and branding. The one thing that really sticks out to me - and I'm not even close enough to really see the small things that demonstrate it - but I can tell even from great distance those small things are most likely there and that he's building a championship culture. I'm certainly not going to say it happens immediately, but I don't think it's going to take him long to have MT at the top of the league contending for titles. As someone who's immediate reaction was ire, I'm really impressed with what he's bringing to campus and genuinely believe it will translate on the field.

With a look ahead to the Class of 2026, based on current roster construction, everything is open game. It's always tough to predict, but the 2024-25 roster is very top heavy with experience and Insell and co. will look to reload at all positions and, assuredly, generate depth through the high school ranks. Here is a running list that will be updated as the summer recruiting season heats up.

Offers:

• Andrea Flores, 5'10" SG (Daniel Boone HS, Tennessee Flight) Gray, TN
  • Currently Ranked #7 in TN
  • Recent Offers: Toledo, Boston College, Belmont, Georgia Tech, Appalachian State

• Whitley Rogers, 5'11" SF (Little Rock Christian Academy, Tennessee Flight) Little Rock, AR
  • Currently Ranked #3 in AR
  • Recent Offers: Georgia Tech, Memphis

• Kimora Fields, 6'2" PF (Bradley Central HS, FBC United) Cleveland, TN
  • Currently Ranked #1 in TN, #38 Nationally
  • 2024 TN Class 4A Miss Basketball Finalist as Sophomore
  • Recent Offers: Florida Atlantic, Stetson, UCF, Wake Forest, Memphis

• Chelby Jordan, 5'8" PG (Dyersburg HS, Tennessee Flight) Dyersburg, TN
  • Currently Ranked #5 in TN
  • Recent Offers: Austin Peay, UT-Arlington, Lipscomb, Louisiana, Dayton

• Braylee Winfrey, 5'8" SG (Auburn HS, Tennessee Flight) Auburn, AL
  • Currently Ranked #12 in AR
  • Recent Offers: Stephen F. Austin, Mercer

Depending on how this goes, they won't be the last to try this. And if it does work, the NCAA is done for. Bankrupt.

Has anyone watched this on Netflix yet? I watched it last night, and I have more questions than answers now

Lots of familiar names to me in this game.... Raiders who played in the pros, Don Griffin, Tony Burse, Dwight Stone, MT HoF members, Marvin Collier, lots of solid contributors over their time in college.
