Domask will play more minutes than Ty or Dain, book it.

So wait, minus maybe 3 posts, are we gonna ignore Indy posting about Phillips? His freshman season aside, the kid is a big body and he can move. I mean, it’s a clear upgrade from Lieb at worst.

Why do I feel like Harmon is being added as an expected TSJ replacement? 
Even if he isn't going to play much, you still need a guy to go up against Dain in practice every day.

Brad learned his lesson from this year’s debacle with the youngins. Stockpile as much experienced talent as possible and ask questions later.
For sure

RayJ is a nice player who could really help us, but the trio of Domask, Harmon, and RayJ would strike me as extremely strange, for the lack of targeting a truly knock-down outside shooter.
All three of them have spent their college careers as volume scorers, as has TSJ, and we're hypothetically going to stick them all together on the same team with marginal at best jump shooting around them?
I don't quite get it.
So Epps goes to G Town only for Rowan Brumbaugh to commit tonight … Interesting …
Likely an even smaller role than he would’ve had here …
That portal sure is something …

I was told 4 transfers … 4 transfers plus 2 returnees … Equals 6 BOOMS …
Being 71 now , I like to space my booms out over 2-3 booms a week......you trying to keel me ???????
I wouldn’t ignore … They want him …
We’ve got some connections to him and he’s already visited here in HS … That matters for portal kids … They know what they’re getting …
wonder how sencire feels about this….
There is another PG they are targeting. Just let the chips fall and see what happens.

Why would he not be an Epps replacement?
So far we seem to have replaced Epps and RJ with the two guys we have brought in. And that's great as I think they are likely upgrades.
I've been confused at some posters saying they don't know where the minutes are going to come from, and they don't understand the Harmon signing. These guys, at this point, are simply replacing guys we had penciled in for a lot of minutes to begin with. We were still going to be going after a starting PG and backup Center if everyone had come back. And we still are.
The moves signal to me that the staff seems to be staying positive about Shannon and Hawkins returning. Take our team last year, upgrade a couple spots and add a high level PG. Sounds good to me
There was just a post a little while ago saying Tyger may opt to play pro ball in Europe. Deleted now but it appeared to be a UCLA "insider".

That’s what I’m saying! You posted it and it seems like a good number of people glossed over it. I’m definitely interested in getting him!
About what? I'm sure Harris was told of our plan for the portal. I don't think he would claim to be a true PG. He was staying when Epps was here. Why would Harmon change anything? Do you think the staff didn't tell the players they would be looking to upgrade the starting PG spot?
1. He’s not a point guard
2. Doesn’t really matter how he feels. Staffs job is to build the best roster possible and if that moves Buck down to 8 or 9th in the rotation so be it

Over the long term.
Play young players and risk them leaving after the year, or buy up one-and-done mercenaries and guarantee it.
