Ah, one of those. I see.

Bright spots and weaknesses. It’s a roster to be excited about. But lots of question marks remain. Shooting will also be a weakness on this team.

Cade Tyson is in the portal. We aren’t adding this level of recruit anymore, but man, he’d be a great fit. I think the Staff wants Sisley to be what Cade Tyson is. I guess we will see.

That would have been a nice addition. Seems like we are counting big on Z. We’ve got some nice pieces overall but seems like we will need freshman to pop and that’s a tough strategy.

USC officially adds Eric Reibe. They have a ridiculously talented starting 5. On talent alone, maybe top 5, top 10. They will be another very interesting team to follow in the B1G

Saw them rumored with Mikko Murrinen. Hes gonna have to go largely overseas at this point, right?

Has there been a Trilly bomb or something? What’s up?

Would absolutely love this one, but yeah, I agree with ya here.

Good stuff 66. These capsules are helpful!

Yep. I don’t think riot gear comes out if we miss, but that should be the expectation. If we end up in the top 20 best teams the fanbase will be happy and we can build ALOT as most of our guys have eligibility. That being said. We have 3 roster spots to raise our ceiling and we are thinking more about stabilizing our floor. Besides money being out, which seems likely, this is the wrong move. I think a backup big that can play, an impact guard/wing or the reverse and then whatever with spot 13 imo. I think we have questions at 4-6 of the projected top 10. Add 1 more, more sure thing. Then a bench, injury reserve guy and I feel better.

2 road wins yesterday. Interesting start

I’m do think a couple will get talked into it. I don’t think Indiana is looking to add anything but depth pieces.

Based on Rabjohns, this is certainly not the path they are taking. Will have to wait to see if they reconsider. Rabby says a backup Big and 2 practice players. I’m hoping we at least grab a high potential player and luck into something. Knowing how Yigi fouls im curious what level we aim for our Big. I guess they want to get Sisley minutes at the backup 4. And slide Sherrell to the 5.

He’ll be a media darling. If he ups his game it’ll pay off. Getting real time in the Big leagues is no easy task. He was likely gonna G League his way into playing time. Might as well mature in college hoops.

Consistently puts up great games. Really looking forward to this one.

Minnesota is smart. Took 2 Dusty May guys this portal. Winters Grady and a 7’2” behemoth. They will never be B1G top end but they won’t be rollovers either.

I’m not convinced they will be mid. Sometimes names get all the hype. But Cox, Harris, Mayer, Benter, Jacobsen. They can all play. They have a little guard that resshirted that Painter is really high on. Said he would lead scrimmages in scoring this season even. Antoine West, I believe. They will be well coached and guys will be better than their name implies. But man, I hope they fall down a few notches.

It might, but I think we will aim for 3 freshman knowing how things work. Plus our practice players on scholarship in spots 11-13 will likely include some 1 n dones either through eligibility or otherwise.

Agreed. Only need juice and momentum if trying to win recruits with equal dollar offers. Which is exactly why the only path this year was to boost the budget. (And hopefully start to prove concept). Glad we boosted that NIL to compete despite the lack of juice. Seemed like the powers that be figured that out by building a mid major All Star team the year prior.

But the 11-13th spots filled do not and probably should not be filled with that as the mindset. guys should still compete for playing time. 1-13. You fill with guys that meet a need and let the best play. In order to get that on a team that already has good players, maybe you need to go a different route. euro, midmajor, juco, whatever. find some talent and encourage competition.

so very thankful they've done so. Both programs have needed it. It feels like basketball's only chance. Its most schools only chance. I think the sport probably met its near max this offseason on what teams will pay. I don't see it jumping significantly from here. My gut told me Whitten and Dolson were going to do everything they could to set DeVries up. Last year didn't go the way I expected, so that was odd. But thankfully we are committed.

Hysterics said today it was high 4’s. And roster could near 20 in total although probably short of that.

Agree with this. I like 8 or 9 man rotations. Hated when would woody would platoon or try to run 10. However, an open competition for those spots from 13 capable members will yield a better team than intentionally filling spots 11-13 with intentionally lesser talent. Try to find the Juco kid that might pop, or a Foriegn kind with attributes or something because you never know. Wagler from Illinois is a good example of ‘you never know’. Find players and fill the spots let practice figure out your best.
