  1. Players from other era's. The special ones from the 60's and 70's. The guys with the measurables for their position, couldn't time travel to today and play the same game. However, I can comfortably rattle of a petty long list of players, that if they were born in this era and raised to develop additional skills, would still be stars. Throw in the nutrition and training. Wilt Chamberlain, pre-injury Arvydes Sabonis, Kareem, immediately come to mind. Bill Russell would be Rodman without the headaches. Bob Pettit would be perfect for today's game.
  2. I think Wilkerson can stick for a team like Golden State. I can't see how DeVries with his athletic profile cam play in the league.
  3. Paul Osaruyi Lewis Uvwo Darius Wabbington Osaruyi is the only one I've heard anything about. Some noise that Arkansas has mentioned a reclassification there.
  4. I would like to fill our last spot with a 27' reclass big. We seem to be digging in on a couple. Getting a high caliber reclass every year might be the best way to keep a 5☆ for multiple years.
  5. Bradshaw was never short on talent, his problem was between his ears. As far as our money, I think with one position to fill, if we do, money could be gotten for a starting big wing that averaged 16.9 ppg and was the best 3pt shooter in the country. Other than that I don't know who else is left.
  6. I think we got in reasonably early here. He would be a great reclass add to go with Branham and a big. Recently seen our name attached to Paul Osaruyi. I think we could have a chance with him if Sherrell pops for us this year. That would be a helluva class. Osaruyi highlights look like a man playing on am 8ft goal.
  7. I'm confident Sherrell, Burton and Mustaf start. I feel pretty confident Karvala will be in the rotation at the 3 beh8nd Mustaf. Probably pretty likely Yigitoglu starts and at some point early in each half a rotation at the 5 will start between he and Sherrell. Sisley will be the 4 in the majority of those minutes. Could be some looks with Mustaf at the 4, Harris the 3 and Burton the point. You can visualize a pretty nice situation.
  8. That's true. I think when they hired Jawan and Memphis hired Penny and they initially did well with their loose, player friendly environment, it looked like times had changed and you could have success with that approach. I believe that greased the skids for the Woody move. Neither of the previously mentioned names had hc experience or the connections with people such as World Wide Wes....and others. We should all think back to that time and be able to relax a bit right now.
  9. 13-7 baring injury. Win 2 games in the btt and 1 in the ncaa. Finish somewhere around 26-9. Good enough to keep everyone except probably a couple freshmen. Add another hs kid to the incoming class and be in the market for upgrades to the last 2 kids we signed and maybe one really good wing.
  10. Harris and health at the point. Our floor is 10 conf wins, ceiling 15.
  11. Defense will be an issue with Harris and Burton starting together. It would be fantastic if Harris would cone out of his coma and move Lindsey back to the role he played at JMU. He still played 29mpg and feasted on the other teams second unit guys. I'm not saying Harris is Oladipo but his size an effort are good on that side of the ball. Mustaf will get the other teams best perimeter guy. I think you're right about running the ball through Sherrell alot. I hope he's under 260. 5 million buys a lot of snacks.
  12. Bidunga measures 6'7.75" at the combine. Same zize as TKR.
  13. That's gonna look cool playing professionally in Mexico after his Combine Measurables.
  14. Maybe we are fine with what we have, but are prepared to take a swing if someone drops out of the draft.
  15. I'm high on Karvala. I see some Davis Fogle similarities. He has a pretty jumper, albeit streaky and he has a lot more bounce. I think if anyone of the 3/4 freshmen crack the rotation it will be him. Manhertz will need to show up shooting lights out to overcome the physical disadvantages he has. Moody could be a sleeper.
  16. 1. Lets win 24+ games and at least 1 tournament game. That will mean DD can pull off the two big line-up. 2. Retain 8 players. One being either Sherrell or Yigitoglu. 3. Add two more s player to the 27 high school group. One a big 4. Be in a position to land the two best players at positions of need when the portal opens. Already have them locked up. That's how I see this playing put. Unless we have Momcilovic on the team them that will change my expectations.
  17. This smells like Drew forming a relationship with BeoBasket Agency. If im not mistaken, everyone in the NBA with a last name ending in kic, cic, vic and most of the ov's are clients or former clients. Maybe there was a flight to Belgrade after all. l I like this.
  18. That was a first four game I think. Still a tournament game though. If my memory serves me, he led in the second half of his three losses. I was impressed with what he got out of last year's team. If he can be equally as impressive with this roster, we'll be pretty good. I'm having a hard time visualizing the offense right now though. Maybe something a little like this year's Wisconsin team?
  19. If you remove the blow outs from the numbers, you're probably pretty close. I wonder why DD didn't try to play Alexis and Bailey together last year? Bailey was a top of the key guy that liked to get down hill and Alexis played mostly with his back to the basket.
  20. Ware is the only player I can remember who's talents didn't take a giant step back after playing under Woody. TJD became a much better passer out of the posting suppose. Rice's WSU tape was impressive. We set him back years on his development. It would be weird seeing him back, but a good redemption story is alot of fun.
  21. I agree. I hope that stylistically we don't change anything. We should've been going into the portal to address the obvious. Get P5 bigger, stronger, faster and/or more talented at each position.
  22. I'm holding out hope that Momcilovic could be our late draft drop out.
  23. This guy is a beast but watch Paul Osaruyi. If we got him to reclass. He's at another level athletically.
  24. I think if we had last years team with Sherrell, Yigitoglu and Burton minus Bailey, Acamovic and Conerway, we'd be pretty jacked about it. The only difference maker that somewhat fits in the portal is Momcilovic. My concern is that we flipped our previous weaknesses and strengths. I guess the difference is, this year we have guys that have shot well in the past but are unproven and you cant teach size. Did we push it too far one way? Remains to be seen. Odds are we're looking for emergency players, but it would be cool if we got Momcilovic.
  25. We could step on the court and not get embarrassed. Plenty of players to play single big one out.
