He only used one cap so the info must not be that far off or he would have used 3 or 4 caps :-)

A high academic achiever to serve as practice fodder and 5 fouls in the worst of emergencies. No problem with it.

I agree!  If nothing else, if he gets into a game, he can definitely alter a few shots too.  That seems what he did the best on the highlights I seen of him.

100% 

Regardless-- if you truly can't get anyone else, why wouldn't you take this kid for a year? 

I'm failing to see the drawbacks.

Yes, similar.  Jobe was a little bigger weight wise but similar.

This roster needed height.  That was clear to see. This most likely is a “Walk-on 7 footer” situation.  Sounds like a quality kid.  Gives practice height to compete with.  
 

My biggest hope this season is Ballo stays healthy.  This roster needs him to play huge minutes.

No no, he’ll confuse opposing players with finite math and calculus problems during free throws. Free rebounds coming

Well the reasons are USC, UCLA, Oregon, and Washington. I'd have no problems with a rotation of something like Indy, Chicago, New York/DC/Vegas. Maybe not Seattle, Portland, or LA but if they rotate back to the Midwest every 2 of 3 years given the current conference geography, I'm good.

If they have to go somewhere other than Chicago/Indy (and they don't) it should be once every four years like this is set up. Vegas will do better than the pitiful attempt to hit the east coast because it's Vegas, but the tournament's identity is in the midwest.

Mgbako(#5) and Rice(#6) mentioned at their respective positions. 

Braden Smith is listed as the #2 lead guard/facilitator. Boo!

RJ Davis, Coleman Hawkins, and Hunter Dickinson seem like they've been in college for a decade. Really enjoyed the breakdown on MM. Hopefully his agility/quickness has improved enough to be a great 3 level scorer. He definitely showed signs of being able to, just wasn't quick enough, or confident enough to get to his spots sooner.

[WayneFleekHoosier]

Our team is set up to be nasty. Especially if Rice and Carlyle are as advertised.  I want these guys to be great.  I still like Gallo as a point and on ball. I fear he won’t get much run there but I think to be our best Gallo is back up point over Cupps.  Curious to see what strides Cupps can make with his limitations. He really needs to be the deadeye shooter because his potential for that role is much better than Gallo.

Loaded foe bear or … porkchop.

definitely have the pieces. Stay healthy!
