Yes. They'll only need 8 guys at most. I think they're at 8 right now. Tournament starts in 3 months. Still plenty of time.

Think they kind of are wanting to reveal one player a week. Do a slow build up and then will have a full roster revealed by mid-May if I had a guess.

And they have some big names out there. The payout is 2M. The 6 guys have winning shares of $100,000. That leaves $1.4M still out there for a few guys. Guys that will have a higher payout like TRob, McLemore or whoever else they might pick up that will be a big addition.

No way the team will have 20 guys on the team all making $100,000 if winning the whole thing.

Darrell Arthur just announced he is playing on the Self Made team. Up to 8 now. Will have one more and then they're set.

Tyshawn, Young, Perry, Little, Releford, Arthur, Elijah, Lucas.

I would guess they'll have a guard for the last pickup, they announced it as a HUGE addition.

Sherron would be a HUGE addition.

I love Sherron on some levels.

He’s absolute proof that you can have a 1st class program and still have complete dipshits in your fan base.

A complete "dipshit" coach too. Right?

Like our current team.... Not a ton of shooting (or guards even)

Man, that team will get every board.. Really like the group down low.

Guards - Tyshawn, Johnson, Releford
Forwards - Little, Young, Ellis, Jackson, Arthur and Lucas

Little and Perry can play on perimeter if needed. Young can play almost anywhere with his energetic ass.

They'll probably win the Wichita regional and get a good payout and compete for the big prize down the road.

Do they payout regionals now? I thought the big thing about it was winner take all.
