of postseason play….

Congrats to Andy Kennedy and team on a good season. The new arena will be A GOD-SENT for this program. Hopefully
it will elevate recruiting and the caliber of players we get into the program. Andy is a great coach for what he has to work with
up to this point in his Ole Miss head coaching career. From dealing with little winning tradition to one of the worst basketball
arenas in a major conference he's done a very good job.

However having the new arena needs to translate to better recruiting…..if we can just land an elite blue-chip recruit every couple of seasons it will improve the stock of the program.

The SEC is coming out of an era of poor basketball play. Auburn is on the rise with Bruce Pearl and its new arena. LSU has
better talent on their roster. Arkansas is reviving its winning tradition and plays in a great facility…Bud Walton Arena.
Kentucky will always be the gold standard of college basketball….the equivalent of Alabama, Ohio State, Notre Dame football.
Florida will bounce back with a hall of fame coach in Billy Donovan.

Ole Miss has to keep pace and step it up as well. If the recruiting can improve with the new arena the Ole Miss program can
grow and become a better one. Kennedy has already proven he can coach very well with the available resources he has at his
disposal.
