With proper offensive spacing, Rice would be an absolute menace. Gets downhill with ease. Just needs a coach to tell him to stop shooting that damn midrange jumper all the time, get to the rim or pass it.

Oh, I’d prefer a 3&D guy if we can land one, I was just trying to call out that currently as constructed, that starting lineup would look to be weak on the defensive end, and I think focusing on fixing that would take priority over just having 2 more guys who are more oriented towards offense. There’s only one ball and all that. Will be curious to see if Bailey plays more at the 4 or 5. Obviously he’d be great on the offensive end as a stretch 5/playmaker but I don’t think he’s anything resembling a rim protector.

That’s why I said a “Harris type”, I know he’s not coming. But we need a strong guard/wing defender to balance that lineup IMO.

PG- Pack SG - Sencire Harris type (tough defender) SF - DeVries PF - Bailey C - Rim Protector/rebounder/lob threat I could live with that all day.

Apparently Trilly said it was.

Agreed. I remember the feeling when watching Crean teams that being down 8-10 was well within reach. Haven’t felt that in a while.

This is basically my take as well. I think they eventually move to player contracts and buyouts, basically just admitting this is pro sports, but for now it’s becoming a sub-par NBA instead that risks losing what’s special about college basketball.

It gets crazier, the absolute Wild West.

Read that Gillespie got $3m from Tennessee. No clue if it’s true but that’s at least in line with some of the crazy numbers being thrown around early on.

The confirmed list of who we’ve contacted is still very short at this point, at least with what you can find thats publicly available.

79% players in the portal haven’t signed yet according to on3 and there’s still time for more to join. Not sure how it compares to last year but this speaks to how early in the process we still are.

Here’s Louisville then.

No, it’s not really reasonable but feel how you feel.
