Hoping for Oregon State-TCU final

Minnesota had a really good draft. They got Jimmy Butler to pair with Andrew Wiggins and Karl Anthony Towns. Plus Patton is an intriguing prospect with gigantic boom or bust potential. And he had a sweet suit that was reppin Omaha. That was cool to see on national tv.

For those of you interested (and with a twitter) there is a short video about Arop and the Omaha Talons Academy on the @greatbigstory twitter page.

He definitely degressed as his time at Winthrop went on. At his best he averaged 4.9pts, 4.8reb, 2.5blks and shot ~65% overall and ~50% from the line. Hopefully we can get him functioning at that level and build on it.

Meyers and Alverado both in the 13th. Schrieber way down in the 26th.

I think we all had a good feeling AW3 might be leaving. The wording of his statement when he pulled out of the draft stuck with me up until the moment he left.

Thats why i added "for now". You never can be sure if there will be a late transfer or addition. However, transfer wise i think we are good.

I just have a feeling McVeigh is gonna be hard to keep off the court. Preferably via lots of 3 balls.

Would be if i had cable. 30 for 30's are almost always good.

When i first made my stats i had Jordy at 10 and 8 but after adding the #s we were way over in what i expect from ppg and rpg average so i had to trim some #s to get us at more realistic averages. He was one of the ppl i took a little away from. He will definitely be good though.

My question is who is he taking minutes from then? It would have to be either Thomas Allen or ET. If he has truly bounced back from his injury then you are probably right and im off. Personally, im just skeptical about his recovery until i see it.

Since our roster is set for now and summer workouts are beginning im making my first set of predictions for player stats. I will tweak them as the off-season progresses and we find out more about each player. STARTERS -Glynn Watson 32min 16ppg 3reb 5asst 2stl -James Palmer 25min 9ppg 3reb 1stl -Isaiah Roby 27min 7ppg 6reb 2asst 1stl 1blk -Isaac Copeland 25min 11ppg 4reb 1asst -Jordy Tshimanga 23min 9ppg 8reb 2blk BENCH -Jack McVeigh 19min 7ppg 3reb 1asst -Thomas Allen 17min 5ppg 1reb 1asst -Nana Akenten 11min 4ppg 2reb -Duby Okeke 11min 2ppg 4reb 1blk -Evan Taylor 10min 3pts 2reb 1stl -Tanner Borchardt 0+min 1reb -Anton Gill 0+min 2pts 1reb Share your thoughts and predictions.

And Terran is getting another NBA workout or two. Would be nice for Miles to land two guys on NBA rosters. Especially since they were both his recruits and players.

Not really Lue's fault or anyone on the Cavs. GSW have the 2nd (KD) and 3rd (Curry) best players in the league plus prob the 11th/12th (Klay) and 20th-ish (Draymond). Cavs obviously have the #1 player in the world with LeBron plus Kyrie is low Top 10 and i would sneak Love just inside the top 25. Any other year, 3 of the Top 25 players is good enough to win the finals/be competive in the series. But not when the opponent has 4 Top 20 players.

Correct. I believe all the offers hes recieved are from low to mid D1 programs. I know hes gotten interest from us, Creighton, Minnesota, and Iowa. Just wasnt sure the level of interest that we have.

Anybody have any inside info Heiman? We'll be in need of a another center next year and he has been drawing P5 interest.

Regardless that lineup is still extremely possible. Many on here think Copeland could play more of the 3 position anyway. So just flip the two if thats the case. Its not like we have had a frontcourt that can shoot very well recently.

-Watson (32) -> Allen (18) -Palmer (24) -> ET (11) -> Gill (0+) -Roby (27) -> Nana (12) -Copeland (25) -> McVeigh (19) -Jordy (22) -> Duby (10) -> Borchardt (0+)

I can realistically only see one starting lineup (Watson, Palmer, Roby, Copeland, Tshimanga). I still think their will be intense competition for minutes and roles on the team.

Anybody know if the Arop bridge is completely burned? Or if our offer still stands about joining with the '18 class?

I would still take Arop. Wish that wouldnt have fell through. Redshirting him wouldve been perfect next year.

He hss gotten us to regionals in 3/4 years. But the inconsistent pitching and hitting has been extremely untimely.

Booooooo. Not saying DE is the problem. Not saying he isnt. But he is 1-6 in Regional play overall and 1-6 in his last three Big Ten Tourney appearances.

Thomas Allen has been talked about being in the mix to start at the 2 by almost everyone on here...

That was kind of my point. I think our only real chance of winning the regional was staying in the winners bracket (including beating OSU). We dont really have the pitching depth it takes to come out of the losers bracket and win, especially not when you consider the quality pitching depth that OSU has. But anything can happen.
