  1. Nothing official but I think everyone expects him too.
  2. I believe he would’ve
  3. Technically doesn’t. He’s banking on a medical redshirt waiver
  4. The tweet he sent a few days ago also seemed interesting. Certainly seems like a goodbye.
  5. I agree. But I think/hope we can find that in players that are multi-faceted and not just solely out there for shooting. Tominaga basically only brings shooting to the table. And he really wasn't all the good at that. If you can't help out elsewhere, you need to be better than what he was at that skill.
  6. Correct. We have needs to fill, which means we need to have open spots. Keisei's ceiling is lower than basically everyone else that is returning.
  7. That's fair. I guess I view that 8-9 spot as being part of the regular rotation. 10-13 is what I view as not regular minutes. I guess I look at it in that we already have a guy in Wilcher who kind of fills the roll of the shooter and a guy like Lawrence coming in who is supposedly known for his shooting ability. Becomes a scenario of filling holes and needing spots. I don't think we have to boot him if spots open up elsewhere. Just saying if someone is going to go....he's the first guy on the list for me.
  8. I guess I just don't see how he is in that 7-9 range AND us improve dramatically as a team. Especially without seeing who else we add.
  9. It would. I'd be open to taking two points as well if McPherson can't play it. Take a younger guy along with a ready made guy for next year.
  10. He wasn't our issue. But he doesn't fix our issues either. And we know there is going to be attrition. So we may as well hope it comes from someone that is relatively easily replaceable. It's not personal...but spots may be at a premium.
  11. Virtually everyone does. Going to the portal isn't a bad thing. It's the volume of it at this point. Adding 1-2 pieces to fill enhance your roster/fill needs is perfectly fine. We do need to end the cycle of taking 5 transfers to fill spots each year. I've accepted that Bryce, Trey and Lat are gone. I'm hoping Tominaga is too. After that...I hope everyone stays for consistency and we can fill in 2 spots with transfers.
  12. That definitely puts Indiana in.
  13. I wont disagree. The dilemma I was referring to was the potential departures if we let Matt A go. We're late in the game now and we won't find guys better than what we have.
  14. I don't think he's ideal. But situationally it can work. We can start with Wilhelm at 4 and Walker at 5. Against bigger teams he can play the 4 and Keita comes in at 5. It just gives you another chess piece to use. I don't see Dawson as a 4. But that's where I am okay with keeping a guy like Edwards. He can possibly develop into an undersized stretch 4.
  15. The recruiting dilemma is why I am fine if Matt comes back. I'm okay if he is, as long as there is more oversight and true evaluation rather than just letting him go.
  16. Yep. If we're targeting 3 spots...one has to be a PG, another shooter and a stretch 4.
  17. I think the biggest thing is that it gives some versatility to the lineup. And that is something that we haven't had much of, especially in the frontcourt. You could even convince me that if we can get Lat to come back with a reduced role....that we don't need a stretch 4 from the portal.
  18. I wouldn't have a huge issue if Edwards returns. He's long and athletic enough to take a chance on. Definitely need a PG and ideally a stretch 4 again.
  19. I don't think Walker is completely unplayable at the 4. He might not be ideal, but he situationally, he can play there. And for a team/program that is routinely devoid of talent, depth and often both at the 5, I can live with having 4 guys there.
  20. Maybe he's not really a 4. Not too many 7-foot PFs out there. Maybe he's not ready to have an impact. Maybe they didn't expect things to go off the rails to the extent they did. I think if they expected Oleg to make a tangible difference, he probably would've been playing. No sense in pulling a guys redshirt to improve from 10 to 12 wins. If he was the difference between a NCAA bid or not, I get it...but to go from bad to less bad.....not sure that's worth it. And just because they didn't yank the redshirt off him this year doesn't mean he can't contribute in the future.
  21. To a certain extent...I wonder about that too. But it also might be worth sitting out a year. If he didn't play on this year's team...not sure there is a great path for him playing next year either.
  22. Could've. But do you burn the redshirt for a guy for half a year, when it's going to be a bad year regardless?
  23. It'd be 3 opening up unless I'm missing someone. I think that'd be ideal. You aren't going to go take 5 high quality transfers. There's a decent base in that 10. You add a point guard, another shooter and a stretch 4 to it. The last thing we need is another overhaul. 1. McPherson 2. Lloyd 3. Dawson 4. Wilcher 5. Lawrence 6. Wilhelm 7. Walker 8. Keita 9. Andre 10. Oleg
