Who knows what "SEAL training" could have produced with competent roster construction and coaching.Compare bonding exercises...I like Better than seal training....
top 40 prospect, that is a bit of a stretch, top 100 is more like it. What does this mean a trio of top-10 freshman? people are certainly all in on this young guys.Love the match up hopefully national TV game

and the jobbed on someone else's home court rule change.
between football and basketball I think we are national leaders in rule changes.

hope he didn't tweak it:
After all, he did win the Jordan Classic one on one contest. Some pretty good talent at that event.

You mean the school with consistently one of the best social media departments in the country?
I thought they just meant the school that lost more minutes to injuries from major contributors than any other P5 team last year (multiple concussions, multiple shoulders, multiple Covid, multiple pinkeye…).
Really wish they had a bit more height. Gonna be a challenge to play them both at once but we may be wishing we could.
The two freshmen lead guards are going to be outstanding.

6'3" and 6'2" can guard the PG and SG of any team in the country, both are built strong too. I don't think there is anything stopping them from being on the court together, considering we had Frazier, Curbelo, and Plummer all sharing time together throughout last year.

That was out of necessity. Doesn’t mean it is ideal. I’m not too worried about their heights, but taller would be better.
Agree, taller would be better but to a prior poster’s point, both are strongly built at ~190lbs (Epps) and ~200lbs (Clark) such that it should be pretty hard for a guard to bully either like what Jalen Pickett from PSU did to us last year.
I think we would be fine playing them both together if we wanted but we have so much length at the 2-3 spots I do think we will usually only have 1 on the floor at a time to create both offensive and defensive mismatches for the other team.

To me it’s a question of their ability to makes plays for themselves and others. Last season, Plummer was effective as a shooter only when he was set up by the movement of the ball, not because of his own skill set at finding his shot, Curbelo had the ability to penetrate and make plays for himself and others but was not Curbelo at any time in the season and Frazier, bless him, was a defensive force but not an effective play maker as a point guard.
Yes I would like to see Ayo sized guards, but height and the lack thereof is not my primary criteria at 1 and 2.

With all the length we have at other positions, they’ll definitely be able to play at once (and they will a lot, IMO). Crazy versatility at the 3-5 can mask deficiencies at the 1-2.
The four missed fumbles against Michigan led to adoption of reply too.
