  1. I tend to agree, the roster is more talented across the board. One of the attributes from last year that was so remarkable was the consistency. Talent doesn't always = consistency, so will that talent make it a better team? TBD, but if so, could be scary good.
  2. I'm not an NFL guy much anymore, but I would take Moore in a heartbeat. Dude is a player.
  3. Alexis would still have a year available IF it is retroactive, which the wording seems to indicate it is. Does he & the staff want that? No clue, but I think he'd be a perfect fit for what IU still needs. What chaos that will create though, all the sudden hundreds of players are eligible to return to school for another season. College sports sure are interesting nowdays.
  4. Besides geopgraphy he had the choice to play for an incompetent clown in Pope or an angry, little caustic troll in Cronin. Tough call.
  5. Maybe we agree more than I thought, But in my opinion, they need someone for more than just worst case scenario/long-term injury. Fouls/match-ups/fatigue with the bigs are gonna be regular occurences. Much like we saw this last season, post play is vital in the B1G. So gotta have depth, since one is none.
  6. That is great in a perfect world, but foul trouble, fatigue & injury are certain. If Sherrell twists an ankle and is out for 3 games during conference play, who is playing center in your scenario when Samet picks up 2 quick fouls? I think a capable back-up center is still an absolute requirement for this roster.
  7. I like this approach. The back-up PG & C don't need to win games, just need to not lose games. Competent is fine. For center I envision someone like Langdon Hatton from a couple yrs ago. Big body, not flashy, but affordable! For that 3rd spot I would LOVE to get a dynamic Wing scorer. Probably tapped out the budget already, but adding an above average SF would make this line-up pop. But if they are comfortable with the committee approach I would be fine with the 4/5 option you described instead.
  8. Right. It would actually be worse than last season. MUCH worse. They did the best they could in the circumstances last year, this time they were apparently prepared and got several of their top targets. To intentionaly leave a roster as incomplete as this would be mind-bogglinlgy stupid. I don't think the staff is stupid.
  9. I think Wilkerson, Enright & Alexis would be perferct for the remaining 3 openings. Pipe-dream, but wow.
  10. I'm with you. Not a fan of being single threaded at any spot. Also, don't want your back-up at one position to be the starter at another (Sherrell for Samet) So get a competent back-up PG, Solid wing starter and competent Back-up Center and you have a VERY well-rounded, deep capable team.
  11. This MSU guy claims Sherrell got $5m Video skip to 3:45. He admits he "has no sources" however.
  12. That is great news, they can't do any damage there!
  13. Is it confirmed that Rancik is no longer visiting? A line-up of: Burton, Hall, Rancik, Shirrell, Yigitoglu with a bench of Harris/Mustaf/Sisley and a couple players to be named later is interesting to me.
  14. WHAT?!? No, take that back, I watched his entire highlight video earlier today, now I'm emotionally invested in him!
