    The PG we signed is very similar to Alec Millender at UConn, in that both will end the season with 0 significant minutes played. I don't get the hand-wringing over spots 10-13 (not referring to you in particular here). None of those dudes are going to play. Our bench (guys 6-9) is very unproven, so that's absolutely a fair critique. Our resources are finite, and we clearly chose to spend them on our top guys. We will see how it works out.

    Welcome to IU Justin! I posted it in the other thread, but UConn's 10th and 11th guys last season had the same profile as Monden. Transfers from IU Indy and Le Moyne. We are spending our resources on the guys higher up the rotation.

    If we sign one more competent bench player, two of the three frosh will be 10 and 11. Just need one of them to be a competent bench option as the 8th or 9th man. I think that's a reasonable ask. Agree that Moody seems like the most likely candidate.

    For sure. A serious injury to Burton would be really hard to overcome.

    Fair, but really only an issue if Burton gets hurt. I expect him to play 35 mpg in games that matter. Lindsay and/or Moody can handle the other 5.

    UConn's 10th and 11th men last season were senior transfers from Le Moyne and IU Indy. Michigan's 10th-12th guys were incoming freshman (3 and 4 stars). Two of them transferred after the season. Nobody is out there spending big on these spots. I do think we still need a capable 9th man though (competent backup 5).

    Yep, looks like a 3rd string practice and development guy. And we needed one, so I'm happy with that. Still need a 2nd string C who can contribute this season.

    My bad. In that case it's championship this season or bust

    We haven't made it to the second weekend in ten years. Haven't made a Final Four in 25 years. Our new coach has never won a tournament game. Yes our long term goal is to build a championship level program, but challenging for a NC this season is not a reasonable goal. If this is a top 20 team, with a chance to return most/all of our significant contributors in '27-28 - that would be a big success IMO.

    I read somewhere that the Kentucky game at Lucas Oil was ticketed as an IU home game. Does anyone know, does that mean it will be included in the season ticket package? (I'm guessing no) My season ticket renewal came in tonight - listed at $67 / game. Value proposition gets harder and harder to justify, particularly if the home non-con slate is 100% cupcakes.

    I disagree, I think Tucker could have been a Karaban type on a different roster. Karaban was never the #1 or #2 option, and those teams always put a big rebounder / shot blocker at the 5 next to him (Sanogo, Clingan, Reed). Bailey was the wrong style of player to pair with Tucker. Alexis was the right profile, just a bit small to be your primary 5.

    Lendeborg was a highly skilled wing who happened to be huge. Obviously a game changer, but there aren't many of those guys around in college ball. Johnson played about half of his minutes alongside Mara, the other half Johnson was the 5. I expect we will deploy Sherrell in a similar fashion. The backup "big" for Michigan was Will Tschetter - Sisley will fill that role for us.
  33. Shooter
    Agree. Yig, Sherrell, and Sisley are likely to eat up nearly all of the 4/5 minutes in an 8-man rotation. We absolutely need another big for depth, but it's only a 0-10 mpg slot we are offering unless someone gets hurt. Best case scenario is to strike gold on someone like Alexis again. But a Sparks type is probably more likely.

    This is intriguing. Could be this season's version of Sam Alexis.

    Sisley had higher per-possession defensive rebounding numbers last season than both Sherrell and Yig. His rebounding is fine for a 4. I'd say it's one of his strengths actually. I don't see much in his game that suggests he is a wing. Is he a good secondary ball-handler or creator? I really like Trent's future as a 4. UConn just made 3 Final Fours in 4 years with Alex Karaban as their 4. Trent is not that level of shooter, but similar size and probably more athletic.
