Where do we stack up defensively with this mix? I don’t know enough about newcomers to say. Definitely seems like plenty of offensive firepower.Boswell, Storr, Hill, Maddox, Davis, TBD Big guy ...

In Brad I trust.Yep ... Think this is a likely scenario ...
Never a 100% but imo it’s pretty much a done deal0440 % of landing Storr? any idea?
So only Ty, DGL, and Hansberry returning from current team? Dainja, Moretti, Harris, and possibly Goode all leaving?
I don't feel good about this, but I guess that's what college basketball has become.
I don't like this. I think we were lucky this year with the mix of returning players improving and the new players contributing, the team chemistry being the positive that it was. This is NOT a reliable method of team building to rely on year after year. Last year's team didn't gel as hoped. Bringing in 10 new players will always be a crapshoot. I sincerely hope it works. But possibly 9-10 NEW PLAYERS???? Wow, that's asking and expecting a lot. I have some reservations about such a severe turnover of personnel and I truly hope that we have more than 3 returnees. Continuity is a thing...Yep ... Think this is a likely scenario ...

I think A LOT depends on the TBD Big Man and the strengths/weaknesses we would be dealing with. Storr needs to develop a lot more defensively; not even comparable to TJ at the moment.Where do we stack up defensively with this mix? I don’t know enough about newcomers to say.

So did TJ when he got here.I think A LOT depends on the TBD Big Man and the strengths/weaknesses we would be dealing with. Storr needs to develop a lot more defensively; not even comparable to TJ at the moment.
Well, you have to replace guys one way or another and you can't bring in a class of 10 freshmen. Seems like there's criticism no matter what.I don't like this.

It’s not like we’re kicking kicking anyone out and you can’t force a kid to stay. Moretti role will never be more than what it was this year. He can go down a level and play. Just don’t see it with Buck on the offensive end, and it’s still not a forgone conclusion Luke is leaving.I don't like this.

Anyone can correct me if I'm wrong but I've definitely heard of programs using the summer foreign tours as a loophole to pay foreign players on non-U.S. soil.Yeah I don't know about his specific situation. But student visa holders cannot be employed for pay in the US.
Potential loopholes abound, and with the basketball talent that's out there beyond our borders I suspect some clever coaches are about to go looking for them.
Harris didn't play this season so I'm not sure what continuity he is going to have. Moretti barely played. It's not going to be 9-10 transfers every year. Look at the Final Four teams. Purdue is the only team with less than 2 transfers out of their top 6-7 players.I don't like this.

Do you think Luke will graduate and move on outside of college basketball or would he likely go to another program?It’s not like we’re kicking kicking anyone out and you can’t force a kid to stay.

Luke knows his path going forward isn't playing basketball, and I was under the impression he'd highly value a master's degree from Gies, so hope that's enough to keep him onboard.It’s not like we’re kicking kicking anyone out and you can’t force a kid to stay.

Credited as a producer for this, which I REALLY enjoyed and highly recommend: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/25/movies/shot-in-the-dark-review.htmlHe made a movie or two and is now an agent, I believe.

I get it, I just don't feel like this being a yearly thing is optimal. I would certainly hope Goode stays, to work on his Masters as well as mentoring Davis for a year. Sencire Harris .... what exactly is the drawback to having a slot on your roster dedicated to a bona fide defensive stopper at the 1-3 positions??? I'm just skeptical of the benefits and possible drawbacks of having only 3 returnees from this years team.It’s not like we’re kicking kicking anyone out and you can’t force a kid to stay.
