I'd be recruiting two front court players right now. Agree that Arop is likely in. But it's pretty safe to say that one of the guards won't be around next year. You can oversign by 1. Go get two legit frontcourt players
And lets be honest....the teams that are truly able to consistently blow teams out that would go against unsportsmanlike conduct, aren't likely to need this. They are going to be your uber talented top 5 teams anyways.
If you’re going to have a margin of victory factor, don’t limit it to ten points.
It could be neck and neck with one minute left and crawl to ten after free throws.
Yep.
We were a good shot blocking team last year....but that didn't mean we were a good post defensive team. The two are not one and the same. Though it does help more often than not
Wish I could agree but can't. Would take this guy over him. And I'm not sold on this guy. I'd trust this guy down low over McVeigh and I'd rather see Davis/Thor/Nana get time on the wing.
Just wished we wouldve been smart and gone after a grad transfer post to begin with.
Not sure we why'd want a JUCO or grad transfer PG either. Why'd we sign Harris then? It was a big mistake to not go heavy after another big with Jordy, we need it even moreso now.
Potential? Yes. Heimann's is higher. Does he reach it this year though?
Athletic Ability? Depends. Is Heimann quicker and more agile? Likely. Does he have the functional athletic ability to do what we need him to do now? Up for debate.
Ball Handling? Again..up for debate. Sure, Heimann might be able to dribble better. But being strong with the ball is also a measure of ball handling. Borchardt would have an advantage here. And how much ball handling does either do? This is pretty negligible considering what each of their roles would be.
Borchardt was just as effective as Jordy at times. He's not skilled. In that, you are right. But unlike Jordy, he knew and embraced his role more. I'd have hardly called Jordy a NY strip. More like an uncooked sirloin.
As far as signing a big. We didn't need a world beater. Or a difference maker. Jordy wasn't either of those. We needed a warm body for spot duty. It's not like we needed to reach for the stars/moon. We still do.
The positive side is this removes the temptation to play Jordy. You're right in that it does bog down the middle.
The issue it creates is depth issues. Once again the reason we should've been going after a big transfer
Cant say Im surprised. It's exactly why I harped on recruiting a JUCO/grad transfer big all spring. It is/was absolutely stupid to sit on that last scholarship. Especially while we were in flux on Roby and Copeland.
