I’m not sure how good the Tigers will be but I think a lot of people are really just tossing Clay to the side blindly. They lose two big pieces but it’s not like they don’t return two very good guards as their starting backcourt. Not to mention one of the better sophomores in the region. They also have several pieces that have been waiting their time in recent years. Depth will be a question but even their big, while undersized, can play. I understand not putting them in the Top 3 but these rankings of 8 or lower are a little much for me.

Clay has a ton of internal issues going on.  I am not sure the status on Roark but I don't see him staying there and I don't blame the kid for leaving.  Wagers is hurt from football and may miss some time.  If Roark stays I can see Clay as a top 5 team because he can handle the ball and is a driving threat.  If he departs then Clay has no true point guard and will struggle.
