God I would love that so much, we were severely missing any outside threats last year, and having 2 guys that can be extremely dangerous from deep will open things up so much more. I'm liking how this roster is shaping out potential wise, definitely more excited for next year than last year.Quote:

I just think about "roles" on a team. There are like 8-9 key roles. You have starters, then a backup ballhandler, a backup 2/3, a backup 3/4, a backup 4/5. You need a perimeter shooter and a stretch shooter off the bench. Some of the guys can fulfill more than one of the backup roles.Quote:

Given that we have some actual VACANCIES for the starting positions, it would seem that our recruiting focus should be on filling those. This is not dissimilar to my thoughts when all 3 of Ciani, Abou, and Nzeh left. One of those guys could have been the backup 4/5. Them all leaving just created another need.
I'd like to keep Green. Dont know if that means we wont be getting one of these other guys, but of well.
In this current environment, it might makes sense to just go deep and play very up tempo. Tell guys that 15-25 minutes a night is the range they should expect. Get 8-9 guys where the talent drop off is not so severe as it normally is when you got to the bench. Play fast and try to take advantage of teh opponent needing to give their main guys a rest. You could stock up on decent sized 2/3 players from the portal to do this.
Tune in if you want good news. X it isQuote:

Cliff Omoruyi 6-11 (Rutgers ) 10.4 ppg 8.3 rpg 2.9 bpg - good rim protecting. rebounder. shot blocker. Seems percent fit for X.
Danny Wolf 7-0 (Yale) 14.1 ppg 9.7 rpg 1.3 bpg
Jonas Aidoo 6-11 (Tennessee) 11.4 ppg 7.3 rpg 1 bpg
Javon Porter 6-11 (Pepperdine) 16.2 ppg 5.9 rpg 1 bpg
Amari Williams 6-10 (Drexel) 12.2 ppg 7.8 ppg 1.8 bpg
Vladislav Goldin 7-1 (Florida Atl) 15.7 ppg 6.9 rpg 1.6 bpg
Goldin supposedly was leaning towards Michigan (where his Coach Dusty May is going) but now UCONN has reached out to him - so I’d imagine he might be a stretch to get.
If they get Maddox and Comwell, does it tell us something about Dez? We have a crowded mix at the 1/2/3 with McKnight, green, Foster, Comwell, Maddox and Dez.Quote:

Extending this a little further, Swain pencils in as a 3 that can play a little small ball 4. this team could be very deep. need 1 more big that can play right away and maybe sign a "project" as well just in case.
Sadly, none of those guys are linked with X at all. Porter is probably going to Mizzou, the rest are mostly blueblood schools. X is more in line with bigs below this tier.Quote:
