Where would that leave Malik coming off the bench or are they really going to play those two together?

I’m ready to be hurt again. What’s the odds Woody is the bridge to Stevens? And was this the plan all along? Stevens says not yet, give Woody a go and I’ll be ready when he retires. Probably pure delusion but why in the hell did Seth tweet that lol

I don’t think that was the plan all along. But I think it’s been said to keep contacting me and we’ll see if the time is right.

[Hornsby 3,260]

You know they both are starting.

So mm to the three and tucker off the bench?

Way way way too early. Even the good RMK teams were ugly at times in the Hawaii Classics. IMO too many new players to start off with a bang in the Bahamas against good teams.

Not saying a bang but be competitive not look like we did vs auɓurn.

I know it’s still a very long shot but do you think the people who back Woodson would also jump at the opportunity to get him?

I still think if his kids had been older when Woodson was hired Brad Stevens would be the Indiana University head coach right now and not Mike Woodson.

Agreed. His son will be at ND this year and his daughter I think will be a junior in high school.

Root for the Celtics to win the championship, then? Does that check a box for him?

Would be my guess. Tucker & Galloway off the bench.

Yes for sure. Quinn would send his buddy to retirement for Brad.

I said a while back one thing that wouldn’t surprise me is if he landed a starting 5 and probably a good one. Maybe I am Trilly? Really makes you wonder how this would impact the guards we are pursing a la last spring. Clogged lane doesn’t usually equal creativity and slashing.

I didn’t mean win it, just not get nuked by every top 25 team we play and win a few of them. Our best win last year was a loss to Kansas lol

I tried to say that this morning on another thread and you would think I was making fun of people’s moms.

"throttle back" .... I never said you meant win it nor did I think you were saying that. IN FACT you quoted my answer to Hornsby's post, not yours.

I know. I wasn’t attacking you my dude, just stating when I mentioned the Bahamas I meant more competitive not necessarily win it. I was too lazy to quote myself, and I am probably too much of a moron to do it on mobile.

The idea that Woodson critics did not think he'd be able to land some good players in the portal is unequivocally false.

In fact I'd say it's widely expected that he will land a good starting 5 considering the core has returned (and that NIL we've heard about)

How many portal additions are needed is subjective, apparently, and how good the final group is... remains to be seen. 

Lot of people celebrating. Yes landing Ballo Carlyle and Rice would be a phenomenal start to the portal. IMO, we need at least one more guard/perimeter defender/shooter. Then a back up big. Maybe Cupps hits the portal in which case you fill that spot no matter what. 

Assume we'll be moving onto 2nd and 3rd tier prospects on the staffs preferred list after the initial wave of visits. We'll see how it shakes out. Then we'll see how how they look next year. Not going to be any time for a learning curve.

I could see cupps maybe leaving his playing time will likely go way way down.

And we are arguing over hypotheticals lol. We haven’t landed anyone yet. Let’s argue about the pieces once they play for IU. I like crystal balls as much as the next Hogwarts graduate, but until we know who we have this is all moot.
