Playing catch up. What a tremendous stretch of commitments. We have a monster class. Exciting times

I think he just says things to be abrasive but whether he means it or not, Dorn should not be anywhere near this team. He’s a good guy and I wish him well but he’s not a very good basketball player. He was an extremely streaky shooter who caught a two week heater and had some big scoring games because of it.
 

They can find a capable shooter who can also play competent defense, rebound, and dribble, which are three things I’m not confident dorn can do (at least at the requisite level to succeed in the big ten)

I had to unfollow him after this. Besides Dorn is not coming back and Enright having no eligibility, before he disappeared he was bemoaning who we were targeting saying we'd end up with "scraps" again, as if we had no money. Wrong on both. Then he reappears after all the action to post what multiple people have already said or odd takes like this. He's mildly entertaining but hasn't really provide much unique info. Seems to be friendly with Tyme who I think gives him the "scraps" to stir up some dust.

Next season, having THREE starters (Burton, Lindsay, Mustaf) who can both knock down threes AND create off the dribble paired with two rim protectors who excel at crashing the offensive glass is HUGE.

Talk about turning last year's weaknesses into next year's strengths...

[Pagoda]

Another weakness fixed: We've got so much eligibility left in this roster.  If we scouted these guys right and they work out, we'll be much less busy in the portal next year.  And of course it's cheaper to retain talent.

Man, what an evening.  I stepped away to go to a little league game and get a notice on my phone about another commitment.  Staff is moving fast and building a solid team.  Didn't think I would get this excited about Bball again.  If it translates to floor, we are in for a treat.

Anybody have access to advanced player metrics that would be willing to share? Curious to see the individual defensive efficiency type metrics on the signees.  
Pretty obvious most have been productive offensively at the P4 level.  Can they keep guys out of the paint? Can they rim protect?  Any defensive numbers out there?

[schoosier]

I would love to see one more post player get added that could come off the bench and improve as the season advances. The new GM sure has proved his chops; let’s hope DD has made improvements coaching.

Christian Reeves please!

I could also possibly see Josh Harris coming back..

Depends on how "advanced" you want to go but CBB Reference shows things like BPM or WinShares: https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/

Josh Harris was one I wanted to see get some time.

Is today a recovery day or could there be more unexpected surprises?  3 spots left.

[skhoosier2]

Carr and the staff have done a masterful job so far.  Interested to see who it is we add for our last 3 spots.  Do we expect any of our freshman to contribute this season?  Moody maybe?
