Positive Thread only

[Hoosier2014 289]

There’s plenty of threads with non stop negativity so let’s keep this thread positive only (life is short, let’s try not to be miserable). 
 

I’ll start. Queen commits and Mgbako returns. Need 3 portal guards and we’re right there. 
 

PG - portal (Tony Perkins, Bruce Thornton, or Malik Mack)

SG - portal/Galloway 

Wing - McNeely

PF - Mgbako

C - Malik

Bench: Queen, Cupps, knockdown shooter, Newton, Sparks. If none of Leal, Banks, or Gunn return get 1 freshman guard and a backup wing.

Malik Mack? That'd be the exact right thing.

But Harvard doesn't usually lose undergrads. The Ivy league doesn't allow grad players with eligibility to stay. That's why there are many Ivy league one year awesome rentals every year. 

But that Mack kid is it.

I don't think any of those PG are in the portal yet. I doubt Banks will be back since he isn't even getting mop up minutes in blowouts. I would think Gunn is probably 50/50 if he stays. I also believe if we get Queen he probably will start

Love a positive thread, it was getting a little grueling to be here! My wife is a pastor, and constantly reminds me that just the fact that I'm able to get up in the morning and function is a positive. I have so many positives in my life that I feel overwhelmed at times. Plus, I've really been trying to look at potential bad things with a positive spin. My daughter was ran off the road this morning on her way to work. Luckily, she remembered what we'd taught her about how to handle the situation, and came out unscathed (car was fine too!). So, instead of focusing on the "what could've happened", I'm choosing to look at the "what did happen".  Thanks for starting this thread, much needed!

I have come to terms with the fact that woody will be here another year, so I agree it is time to look to the offseason with some hope as we do have a chance to have a more talented roster (if some pieces come back.)

Although, the first time rabby or trilly say that we are going after a Jalen Deloach/Anthony Walker type, I am going to lose my mind.

The sun is shining bright and I’m in Indy with my 18 yr old son who is about to start his power lineman apprenticeship. All is well.

I think the end of our schedule is favorable. I think Iu wins at least 1 more.

Chilly, but very peaceful morning out here on the East Coast: 41 degrees, sunny, not much of a breeze. The old girl (she's 13) and I just returned from a nice walk at the park. 

She's keeping the faith -- even if her human doesn't always!

I agree we need some portal guards.

We're looking at playing Mgbako at the 4 for the last 6-7 games so hopefully that is a plus and we continue that next year with Liam at the 3, Reneau or Queen at the 5, the other will still play a lot of minutes because of Reneau and Mgbako foul a lot.

I keep hearing that the staff has much better connections to guards this time. Not sure what that means but hopefully it is a good thing. 

So here is to some positive news

In order for this to happen either Ware or Reneau doesn't start?  I have a hard time seeing this.  unfortunately they are our 3 most impactful players.

You are probably correct won't happen till foul trouble if at all

I am not sure what this solves, with this crew..... 

I guess MM's camps tune has changed a bit about him going pro?

I don't know just saw how we played this way in the last 5 minutes of the NW game. Then heard Woody say that is something they are going to explore more for the rest of the season.

Glad to hear your daughter is safe and all's good - you taught her well!

We are one day closer to the end of the Mike Woodson era.

Well, I got my first Porsche this weekend (718 Cayman GTS 4.0) - drove it in to work today, it's like holding back a crazed dog on a leash as it lunges for your neighbor's cat... :) So pretty hard to be negative, I'm in a positive state of mind! 

And my oldest is finishing (finally!!) up at NW (staying positive, trying not to think of all the money...), middle child a semester away from graduating at Univ of Houston (recently survived unscathed after getting run off the road by a street racer), youngest just landed a big internship in the Netherlands, heading into her senior year at Vanderbilt - where she's on a full ride -- and all are healthy, so very positive.

Let's see us land a talented point and a strong outside shooting guard with handles, keep the positive vibes going
