I would not have Home Jersey on the Sunshine pumper list. But the great thing is everyone gets to make their own list

We got Rice...If we follow that with Carlyle, Hickman, Ballo, and Payne....that is a heck of a roster honestly..

I think we will either get Ballo or Payne but not both.  We might land Malone as the bug coming off the bench

I think NGW is Tyme and hoosiers7681 on X. That dude came at me hard on Saturday night bringing up a bunch of things I had said on here. I wasn't allowed to be a fan anymore of IU.

In the end, I was just celebrating the portal haul of Rice, Carlyle and Ballo

Tony Perkins commits to Missouri per Rabby

What's interesting is that it had been two weeks since Perkins had visited Missouri and I don't believe he had taken any visits.  But some of the schools on his cut list have signed point guard commits -- IU signed Rice, UCLA signed Skyy Clark.  Wonder if he was looking for more interest from schools that decided to go a different way.  If not, two weeks after one visit followed by no other ones would seem strange.

Whether we do it or not, is up to your opinion on Woody (And this isn’t the thread for that). But we’d have to play small to get another starter quality guard off the bench (ie land 2/3 of conwell, hickman, carlyle) any decent min. 
 

40min a game x 5 starters = 200 total min. 
 

if your starters all avg 28 mpg your at 140 minutes leaving 60 for the bench. Galloway played 33mpg last year, but let’s say he’s a team player and does 20mpg off the bench this year. 
 

40mpg left. Your 5star frosh Tucker + table scraps for Cupps/Leal/backup big is probably at least 20mpg. 
 

20mpg left. That’s the max you can offer a 2nd portal guard and that’s if you stagger Ballo/Reneau perfectly and play 4out or mbako at the 4 half the time.  
 

There’s no way to play big all game and get 2 more guards the mins they want.

Yep, I’ll stay on topic :)

 

The minutes point is what the discussion was meant to be about so you nailed it. If we’re bringing in all of these guards, but only play a two guard lineup, then there’s only 80 minutes available but if we go 3 guards that’s 120 minutes available which, given how the roster looks to be shaping up, probably makes more sense.

 

 This also would allow Tucker, who I assume gets 15+ minutes a game, to spend his time at the 3 instead of possibly at the 2.

All this talk about rosters, minutes, etc.

Is Newton an afterthought, or just being written off?

If he is recovered, I see him competing for guard minutes

Def he'll have to compete for guard minutes.  He is such a major unknown I don't want going into this upcoming season like we did with Gunn.  Gunn was a major unknown and for him it didn't pan out too well

If he’s 100% he won’t just compete for minutes, he’ll get’em. But, speaking as probably the #1 Newton fan who’s not a family member, it’s tough to roster build based on that assumption.
