Ask Carlos Boozer about that

I did and he said he was honored to be one of Moyes 10 career blocks. He also said he wouldn’t advise going into the ‘26 season with 6’3” guard as your rim protector. 
 

Nice guy, that Boozer.

Rabjohns says the roster is pretty much set as far as the portal is concerned. The last 2 spots will probably go to Goode and a developmental guy or 2 developmental guys if Goode can't get another year.

Does Leo Curtis count as a developmental guy or did he already sign somewhere else? I’m just catching back up after the weekend…

So reading through the last several posts people are disappointed we got harris and are mad we don't have a 7 footer? Am I reading this correct? Remember good defensive position and a little athleticism can go a long way. My opinion we will be OK if our fundamentals are on point

Do you think Rabby has inside scoop or is he just doing some math and speculation?

Think people are worried about defense which is valid. I’m mostly worried if an injury were to occur to Bailey or Alexis. Overall with all the circumstances we were dealt this off season I am VERY pleased with how things have worked out.

I think he knows his stuff. Definitely not as connected as he used to be but he did go on a tangent on how him and andershock have been told to be quiet this off season for a multitude of reasons(if they report stuff it brings visibility to prospects and other teams could jump in unexpectedly, ect). (This could be total bs but it was said)

concur. Defense is about awareness and understanding a scouting report, too, though.

That's a great point. Our roster outside of Conerway doesn't have much of a defensive pedigree. It would be great if we had an assistant similar to Moikobu from Texas Tech, he had a strong track record with defensive construction.

Same.  It's hard for me as an outsider to really evaluate this roster, so I just look out for red flags (something seems really wrong) and I don't see any red flags.  I can see what CDD is trying to do at this stage.  That's good enough for me and I'm excited for the season.  Onwards and upwards.

Also at a little bit of ease knowing how well WVU was rolling last year when marginally healthy (still without Stone)... legit were a T25 team until TDV went down.

length will also help with defensive efforts

What do you think he’s trying to do? 
 

I could make an educated guess, but I wouldn’t feel real confident in it. But then again, I haven’t paid as much attention to the portal as some of you guys.

shoot the piss out of the ball 

[94Bulldog 748]

Remember 3 weeks ago when some of you were panicking because we had 1 player signed.  Now there’s a full roster.  Heck we even have 5 with eligibility next year, we good!!

Hurryin' Hoosiers baby.

Looks like we’ll switch everything on defense and I assume have a lot of on ball pressure. Obviously you’d like a rim protector but not having one isn’t the end all be all if the perimeter defenders hold their own. A post up is the least efficient play in basketball. On the plus side I would be shocked if we don’t have a top 20 offense. We may force teams to play smaller to matchup with us

Fast-paced, guard-centric offense with an emphasis on shooting the ball.

Defensively still unsure. He plays a version of the pack line but I’ve not dug into that too much.

switch a lot and double the post

[HoosierInParadise 1,664]

Saw that, can’t convince me we don’t get another big somehow 

I don't disagree....however, even if everyone on the team next year was 6 foot or shorter, we'd still watch better coached basketball than the last 8 years...
