I'm sure NIL is a big part of the equation. I'm very skeptical that it's the only part.
Or what if they press... Ball handlers are always needed. Remember this year when both Trent and curbelo we're out?I hope we add someone. Two guys can get covid as we know all too well. Anyone you know if that we are in on and have a reasonable shot at?
Difference was back then we had few guys that were average, let alone above average, passers at the 2-5 spots. Same for those that could create off the dribble. This team projects to be way more skilled in that department at all positions, so depth at the 1 is less concerning, imo (not to mention that we actually have "our PG" -- two really -- on this team, unlike those Groce teams). If Dain can live up to the passing hype and/or we land Nance (who assisted on over 1/5 of his possessions last year) then we'll have the ability to generate offense from anywhere on the floor.Kind of figured but maybe we can land a mid major guy that can challenge Epps and play the 2 and maybe ease the load at PG and Skyy could also play the 2. Lack of depth there is a concern given injuries and all this covid crap. I've see some other teams try playing guys out of position at the point and it usually isn't a pretty. We did it at times ourselves in the past.
Interesting that you (and staff?) have Epps so far down the rotation right now. I am/was expecting him to see the floor a lot just by virtue of being a plus ball handler. Speaks to how highly thought of Ty is though.Yup, Id say the most likely only getting one of Nance or Mayer so the big minutes will be with probably an 8 man main rotation of
Skyy
TSJ
RJ
Nance or Mayer
Dain
Hawkins
Goode
Ty
Then small dose of Epps
I think it boils down to how you can make the most money as a basketball player.replying to myself, lol...
Number 1 for these upperclassmen transfers is finding a springboard to The League. Great fit, VG team (on paper, anyway) and big stage. Sure, NIL is important, but not as important as the aforementioned. And, obviously, there are exceptions.

There’s a set of guys like you described. NIL helps but long term is getting NBA money. Then there’s probably a set of guys who can make more in NIL than overseas. And there’s probably a bunch of other categories as well. Transfer recruiting isn’t a one size fits all. Sounds like Underwood prefers you’re type of player.
Brad Loves Ty. Epps could see some time but if everything goes how they invision I doubt its substantialInteresting that you (and staff?) have Epps so far down the rotation right now.

Ty is getting a tryout for Team USA. (Only 27 prep players & half of those are 23's) Brad isn't the only evaluator who thinks Ty is a winner.Interesting that you (and staff?) have Epps so far down the rotation right now.

I get all that but I still believe that BU would certainly prefer to have more than two skilled players that can play point as a true PG even if they can play as a shooting guard also. We had DMW play point at times last year and he did ok but ideally it would seem if BU can find a player good enough in the portal for a year or two he will do so even if we are better at other spots it's been said he would like to add someone that is a quality PG to fill that role if he can. If they can't then he still has confidence in rolling with what he. We shall see what happens and if he can sell that role to someone out there or not.Difference was back then we had few guys that were average, let alone above average, passers at the 2-5 spots.

If this were an NL, all I would ask is why are you on this board so much?
If it were mine I'd probably be dead.If this were an NL, all I would ask is why are you on this board so much?

God I'm jealous of you!!!!!!Luckily I'm not married(yet) so my punishment might be less severe lol
GOD, if we are still testing people for COVID this year… not that I doubt we will. That’s a “no endpoint” strategy…I hope we add someone. Two guys can get covid as we know all too well. Anyone you know if that we are in on and have a reasonable shot at?

Yes I know that there are only 200 minutes in a game but there will be injuries and I did some rounding.
What do yall think
Sergio can handle itOr what if they press... Ball handlers are always needed. Remember this year when both Trent and curbelo we're out?
I dont disagree with you to often but I feel Epps will play 15-18 minutes. just a feeling and I love the way he plays with confidence.Probably less Epps too
I think Ty is going to be awesome - seeing some Draymond esque type skills. I just think it is a lot to ask a point forward as a freshman more than a couple minutes a game. However, Ty is going to be a gamer and get a lot of minutes wherever.Brad Loves Ty. Epps could see some time but if everything goes how they invision I doubt its substantial
Tyler, you're only 25, so no rush!Luckily I'm not married(yet) so my punishment might be less severe lol
I think Epps is going to surprise everyone and earn more PT than even the staff is expecting.Brad Loves Ty. Epps could see some time but if everything goes how they invision I doubt its substantial
