    Our offensive rebounding will take too big of a hit. Not worth it

    How sloppy would it be for the NCAA to allow the 5th year for current graduating players after portal season is over. Thats gotta be for future offseasons, right?

    Brown or Zens?

    To be fair, we’ve had freshman as key contributors most years with underwood. Ayo Kofi Miller/Curbelo Epps/Clark/Ty/Harris KJ/Riley/Morez Wagler/Mirk

    Any risk with any of the freshman guards?

    I doubt years of eligibility has much to do with a players value given you only have them for one year at a time.

    Fagbeni and Landon Davis taking up a roster spots is a bit of a head scratcher. Lee and Ty might be waiting for confirmation that we are bringing in Blackwell. If we don’t they have a much better path to earn minutes.

    We probably shouldn’t talk in absolutes here. 1. Let’s all stop assuming Ty hasn’t learned to shoot at all in the last two years. We haven’t seen him play in a while. 2. We also don’t know how his athleticism will be after the injury. 3. We also have no idea how the rotation will shake...

    If Ty stays, would it be possible for him to play there? Or a small ball lineup with Davis at the 4?

    We said the same thing about Wagler this time last year… Gotta let the kids earn it

    Hopefully he shows out then so he won’t have to

    His role is likely what it was this year. Maybe a few more minutes to replace Humrichous minutes. He’s a floor spacer and glue guy who takes care of the ball. But he’s not going to be a statistical leader.

    For sure this is the norm. Seems like we have as good a chance as ever though to keep the band together this year.
