  1. Stevenson showed us some effort but I won’t lose any sleep over him leaving. I would be very ok to lose a few guys if that opens up spots for a true PG(transfer) and some depth. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Everyone’s heights are fabricated, so it all works out. He isn’t the tallest 5 in the league but he isn’t really what I would consider short either. When I made the comment about being tall it was in relation to normal folk. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. 6’9 isn’t that tall? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Not trying to pile on this kid, but I think if we did a list of things he can do on the court, it would be smaller than the list of things he struggles with. Yvan is tall... that is about the extent of his basketball resume. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Any rumblings to what was behind it for King? It’s a bummer because I think he could have been a big time leader for this team. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. No. He came out of dallas First time I ever heard of him so seems like we had high hopes on Adama but now just going for a seat filler with potential. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. Seems like you take a chance on a guy with great athletic skills, the size but who is still new to basketball. Only 15 but took extra year with prep school. My guess is we wanted to add another rim protector. Still a bit light at 220 pounds but seems to be able to run the court and guy who can help off the bench and hopefully be patient and can learn. I assume you pair him with Yvan or Walker and let him play more of a “4” so he doesn’t get pushed around by true “5”’s Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Says whom? We have an open scholarship and need a big..... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Door 2. I think they were honest on where they thought Cross would fit in and if he wanted a better path it might be elsewhere. It does feel like Cross would have been fine being here if he was a part of the future. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  11. GROW UP! Insert sarcasm font Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Exactly. I wish we could gain some stability or consistency but do you really want the consistency to be what we saw last year? Fred put it together with a rag tag. In my opinion the only guys I really wanted back(who played)based on talent was Cam, Yvan and maybe Cross for depth. I am a bit higher on Cross than some but he struck me as a 10 minute guy unless he really changed his body. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. That dude was the whole effing boat. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. I honestly am not the biggest of fans. Obviously he would fill a major need but the bits I have watched the dude relies a lot on his height and size. He can get pushed around and seems to have some issue controlling his emotions. Fairly surprised he is leaving Purdue but curious where he goes. I don’t think he stays in BIG10 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. Washut says he is all N! #2 rated sit out transfer! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. LETS GET OUR CALABRASKETBALL SHIRTS OUT!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. I would assume attrition is hopefully done. With two spots the 2 folks mentioned above would be good but wonder if Fred wants to run with that many available guys? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. Is this one of those "testing the waters" where he can come back or is he gone/gone? I assume he is pretty much gone but just not sure if he tested out poorly could he come back a year?
  19. Does Cam Mack staying/leaving have some say in our chance with Carter? At this point, I wouldnt be shocked to see Fred move on from Cam but wonder if Cam stays does that mean we are out on Carter?
  20. If he truly is a 2020 guy, I am very intrigued how the team would run minutes with him/Yvan/Walker/Mayen. It would allow for you to have true balance at the 4/5. You can then play guys like Cross/Thor at the 3 or if you want to flip the lineup around you can have a ton of versatility with more true depth.
  21. I am most intrigued to see what Hoiberg does with the potential of 1-2 more scholarships opening up. My guess is he adds either a PG if Mack leaves or he adds two more guys who will have to sit out. I kind of forget that a lot of these dudes arent use to the major minutes they are now getting. I really hope that guys like Cross/Yvan are all in because I honestly think both can be used in better spots next year and less minutes which should help on their bodies. Has anyone heard how Walker looks in practice? He is one of the most intriguing options.
  22. Yes, if you try to keep the core. I think there were a few guys from this team that are good enough to be role players. Guys(who played this year) I am excited about(if they are bought in) Cam Mack- Cam is an emotional dude-- I actually appreciate his passion-- Just needs to mature a bit but I think he cares and wants to be successful. Yvan Ouedraogo- Get him help and watch him flourish. I dont think he is a star but he can be a meaningful piece Kevin Cross-Off the bench guy/ Needs another year to get his body right but I am actually a fan(at times) Thor- I was down on Thor but I think he is a leader. He is an off the bench or 15-20 minute guy, but I like him as a piece. I am not down on Akol or Charlie, I just dont think either fly of the page as guys who can help on a deeper team-- Akol showed flashes and I love Charlie hustle...
  23. I mean, a lot of the help coming in had to sit out... but plenty of talent that arent freshman. Guys who actually played this year who werent freshman: Mataej Kavas- graduating Haanif Cheatham-graduating Dachon Burke- transferring Thor- Will be SR/ provided leadership/guy off bench-- Jervay Green- will be SR/ I expect him to transfer Cam Mack- will be JR/ If he gets his head on right, i think he has the ability to be a top tier guy for us--- He needs to buy in. So to answer your question of players who were eligible and not freshman, only 3 options(now that Burke left). At this point I think 1 returns and that is Thor, but even that is an unknown.
  24. Technically our roster for next year is: Dachon Burke 6'4 Sr G Thorir Thorbjarnarson 6'6 Sr G Jervay Green 6'3 Sr G Cam Mack 6'2 Jr G Derrick Walker 6'8 Jr F Lat Mayen 6'9 Jr F Shamiel Stevenson 6'6 Jr F Teddy Allen 6'5 Jr G/F Kobe King 6'4 Jr G Kevin Cross 6'8 So F Akol Arop 6'6 So F Charlie Easley 6'2 So G Dalano Banton 6'8 So G/F Yvan Ouedraogo 6'9 So F Jace Piatkowski 6'4 RS-FR G Bret Porter 6'6 RS-FR F Obviously attrition can happen.
  25. I think you need a mixture of guys who have been here for a while or you run into a situation like this year where everyone is new to everything and that takes a toll. I have some concerns with how next years team is going to add a bunch of new guys again but thankfully 3 of them are here now and just practicing. It will take time but I certainly dont shy away from the guys who are here 4 years as helping with consistency but can also be just fine with 1-2 year guys if they bring talent/plug weak spots.
