Egor has a chance to be a lottery pick next year but how big of an impact do most 18 year olds have. I like the talent but I don’t think we should spend 1.5-2 million on him
Watkins has already put up good numbers in college and is a proven player. Also has 2 years of eligibility left
We do have a very solid roster, at least at positions 1, and 3-5. We however have a gigantic hole at SG. I don't think we're desperate, but getting the right guy to fill that spot could make a huge difference in next year's performance.I hardly think we’re desperate. We have a solid roster, we’re likely going to add to it, and a coaching. staff that knows how to get the best out of their players.
Also, “save our bacon” gave me a chuckle. Been a while since I’ve heard that expression.
Name 9 better rosters without big questions
No one is saying we are the favorite to win the conference. Just off the top of my head Iowa Minnesota Nebraska Northwestern all lost a lot PSU didn’t have much last year

Shrooms are awesome in moderation, my friend........Party hearty I always say.....
I really really do...
SG is this year’s PG.
I mean if it's the right 18 year old surrounded by talent then they can have a huge impact.
Brandon Miller was pretty phenomenal as similarly sized guard two years ago.
Then you obviously have guys like Derrick Rose and Melo though those are obviously #1 pick caliber talents(didn't know that until college though).
SOB.
It looks like they were down to a 9 man rotation by mid season. They did start with 10.

Doesn't really make sense to me at all. As we had player after player announce a transfer, we were told, coach needs to bring in the best players. If anyone doesn't like that, they can leave. Now it's, well there's new guys, I don't want to take their minutes. That makes no sense if the coach just wants the best players and everyone else can deal with it.
Coleman is just being polite instead of saying, been there done that, I want to try something new.

OK, but where do we stand with Coleman?
Last year this time we were talking about RayJ & Tyger.
This yr its 4-5 options. Better chances.
He should be out there saying he is absolutely returning if he doesn't get drafted in order to ensure Carey Booth gets no minutes.
See if Denver ends up picking him to get his son some minutes.
PG: Boswell (starting PG from top 10 team)
SG: DGL
3: Ty, Tre White (12 & 6 at a P5)
4: Humdinger (15 & 5 in MVC - same as junior Domask), Booth
5: Ivisic (21-yo experienced 7-footer), Morez (top 30 recruit)
We obviously need another guard (tho Ty can guard a 2), but if these guys can play together, they can be really good.
So many overlooking DGL. I know if he has a static, stuck in neutral season next year, doing what he did last year, it won't be of much use. But never count out someone with his skills and determination. He is not without a brain either. Never dismiss someone with a dream and elite work ethic. No one knows the jump he will make, but for sure, he wants to play and showed, at the end of the season, that he is learning what he can and should do on the floor. Regardless, we need another guard. It would be a good thing if Nico took another shot....three guards would work.
Agreed, but we will land someone this time. And I am pretty confident it'll be someone good. Should see some movement here after the combine
More like whom would you say? Apologies, I really know nothing about him.
Rose and Anthony are a whole different level of player. Also look at college basketball now it’s dominated by older players.
