Good news, thank goodness. Too many important injuries the past few years.

That was a fun read. Especially liked the part about his role in recruiting, watching film in advance and going into the recruits house to tell him where he tight and what he can do to open up his body and his game. Good stuff

Yeah, I'm thinking 21-22 wins going into the BTT. Hopefully enough of those are quality wins and then we win a game or two in the BTT to be pretty assured of a reasonable Tourney seed. Should be fun.
23-10 season end....seems pretty doable this year.

What a saga. I've got to check out the WKU boards tomorrow.

Smith has a big upside with his ability to play the 1-3. His versatility (range, passing & finishing at the hoop) and athleticism will be an asset for BU's system.
He could easily be on the radar watch for B10 Freshman of the Year ........

I hear BU might use Smith in the pinch post position because he's such a matchup nightmare.

Don't be surprised to see anybody there. BU has put 5'10 pgs to 6'8 300lb guys to everyone else in between there.
My personal non-traditional big favorite for that spot is kipper.
Looks like he doesn't need to go to college. Not saying it's the best path for him, but at 7 ft, and very talented, no reason for him to play college if he doesn't want to.

I don't.
They hired Stansbury. They knew what they were getting. The guy is absolute slime when it comes to the rules, so this couldn't have happened to a more deserving fella.

Redshirt junior forward Leron Black had minor surgery on his left elbow last week and he will miss practice time -- which kicks off on Sept. 29.
Sources told IlliniInquirer.com that the injury will keep him off the court for "a couple weeks", but Black is not expected to miss any games.

Agreed, can't wait to see what Kipper can do in this offense. Who do you think fits better at that spot between Finke and Black? Both can hit the mid range J, Finke probably better handles and passing, Black of course with the bulldog ability to get to the rim.
What are the most important traits for this position? Or is it mainly based on mismatches?
Good to hear DaMonte being cleared. He shouldn't be rushed back they have depth at Pg/Sg this year. DaMonte was looking very good before the injury.
Glad both DaMonte and Leron will be ready for season
Not really worried about a left elbow injury, especially compared to anything leg related
1) I think they are evenly good fits for different reasons. Finke has the passing/shooting advantage that will allow for more perimeter based counters and creativity out of that spot. Leron brings the toughness for the screens, the elbow j, and the closer to the basket/alley oop counters. I think what really separates him is the rebounding knack he has. He will be in prime offensive rebound position a lot and I think he will take advantage.
2) For the base guy you're gonna most play at the position, you probably want a combo of Finke/Black (doesn't everybody?). A guy who can play inside outside with guard skills when necessary and toughness to set screens and rebound. That's actually why I'm so excited to see kipper there, because I think he does bring traits of both with plus athleticism. BU said in the clinic that who they put there and what they do is based on how the other team guards the cuts and that guy at certain parts of the offense. He will then get the right guy in there for the right counter based on how the defense is playing.
They both bring different skill sets, as you say. I don't think you can replace Black's rebounding though, and he's got a perimeter shot. We'll need them both though --not much in the way of experienced bigs.
Really looking forward to seeing how this team plays.

I would imagine he would be able to run still, so his conditioning shouldn't be far off.
Just want to see him average 8-9 rebs/game, i think he has the drive and aggression to do so.
