Cant help noting that only player mix that doesn't show CH, is if Mayer is here....
I noticed this also. Proposing 2 lineups without Hawk in the starting; does that mean he could still be gone? It seems as if he is not starting, he would not be staying, right?

Since it is post May 1st, the free transfer is out. But I guess transferring and playing is on the table if a team takes a guy who drops out of the draft. Could Hawk feasibly get a waiver based on perceived lack of minutes so they could easily play somewhere else? Serious question.

Also, not pulling for Hawkins to leave, just wondering the thought on the scenario if he isnt starting, could he still leave and play? Meaning we are not out of the woods yet with him potentially leaving.

Didn’t know that was an option.
Just think of all the unsigned players we can put in the starting lineups and then worry about players transferring...

They are comfortable playing Dain, Nance, and Coleman at the 5
Most coaches are probably comfortable playing these three at 4/5. The question is whether these players are comfortable? I think there are enough minutes to go around assuming we do not get one more person there.

It was reported that Co Hawk was nervous about how he would fit in if ILL brings in a transfer (Nance). He had a meeting with the coaches and was assured he wouldn't get pushed out of the way. This is why he didn't enter the portal. He already knows they are recruiting guys in his position.
He'll stay, he wants to be here.

Thank you. Makes Sense. Also think if he us our 6th Man, it should be a great season.

You can like a kid on film ... But once they saw him in person, they decided to pass. Reggie stayed "committed" for a long time after but he was never going to end up here.
I watched some of his games at Elevation Prep on Youtube. I've never seen worse basketball. 1 on 4 pretty much every play. Reggie barely broke a jog, barely a walk actually. Worst effort I'd ever seen. Once he got the ball he would bust it and had some skill, but if he didn't have the ball he would just stand at the 3 point line. Never made an attempt at a rebound, never even hinted at defense. I was shocked we offered him let alone accepted a commitment.
