I don't know what margin 35/65 translates to. But Duke will now be a heavy favorite in the game. Assuming Mirk comes back strong, I think the Committee would take into consideration missing a key player in early season losses.

Injuries happen in competitive sports. We're just more aware of injuries to our own team. There are very few teams that can survive losing one of their top players. Duke can plug in another Burger Boy if they lose someone, but not sure there's anyone else that can. I would rather have this...

I don't think he's a "bad" shooter, at least in that sense that Ty was. And while he's not a great run-jump athlete, he's not terrible either. Neither is a yes or no aspect.

Looks about right, but Texas at # 4? Are they that good?

And Tomi is a better version of Tim Duncan.

Always hard to tell from a group picture. Vaaks and Davis are closer to the camera so they're going to appear relatively taller. Regardless, Vaaks is a big kid. Poor man's Doncic.

Yeah, a guy to play the role Ben did last year would be a nice addition.

I don't think it would make sense for us to add a star type player. Duke and a few others keep adding top talent, even at spots where they already have an obvious starter. I think there's too much potential to screw up chemistry. A few months ago, both Vaaks and Coleman were balking at...

Yup. Every year. And every fan base does it. I don’t get the fascination.

Yeah, I think he starts day 1. He's a perfect fit with the other four obvious starters.

Every single offseason that I can remember! "Why don't we use a hockey-style substitution. We could go 12 deep! No one can stay with us."

Brad doesn't just tinker with his approach - he overhuals it almost yearly depending on the strenghths/weaknesses of his players. That's a pretty rare quality in the coaching world. I'm guessing many would argue that it's better to be more stubborn and stick with one style.

Morillo can play 1-4. Williams 2-3. And Ethan Brown. There's likely enough depth there. I think Williams could come close to what Sencire gives defensively (and he probalby doesn't hurt you as much offensively).

How could a guy named Lincoln not play for the state school?

Agree that Vaaks is the PG - people arguing otherwise haven't watched him play. IMO he's literally the perfect fit for what we want out of our PG (at least offensively - and defensively he usually won't be defending the opponent's PG). On the last point - there may be such people. But at...
