Counterpoint: No, it doesn’t matter.
I'd take Team Yin. I think a more even matchup would be
Blue -
Boswell
Riley
Ty
Booth
Ivisic
Orange -
KJ
DGL
White
Hum
Morez
Not unless one of them went back to Hebron to become a police officer in about 1975 when I had to pay a visit to the local "police station."
Heck Brosky you are d*mn old if you remember them - I am on social security, and they were before I was born.
He isn't playing in scrimages right now, should soon.
Ben will be top 3.
Yes in high school too
The likely starting five seems to be: Kylan, KJ, Riley, Ben, Tomislav
The likely second unit five or bench five seems to be: Ty, DGL, Tre, Booth, Morez
Now...
out of the top 10 guys on the roster, if we had to select an all defensive five and an all offensive five...
pretty sure the all defensive five we would select would be: Ty, DGL, Tre, Booth, Morez - the same guys listed for the "bench five"...
and pretty sure the all offensive five we would select would be: Kylan, KJ, Riley, Ben, Tomislav - the same guys listed for the "starting five".
Now, whatever that represents - that might mean some good and some bad, all good and no bad, or nothing at all to make a deal about... - think some things are pretty concludeable: 1. we've got a lot of different pieces to do a lot of different things strategic wise, 2. we're likely to see a large quantity of "defensive sparks" provided off the bench, and 3. this team will be primarily very offensive oriented and has got some real good offensive firepower.
Just feel like if the D can hold up to at least average and at best good, a lot could be achieved considering how much offensive firepower there is.

Team Yin, not even close
I watched a couple of the HS all star team games Fears & Morez were on and Fears seemed to me like a promising HS kid, while Morez was a grown *ss man who deserved more PT than he got.
Can't wait for Morez to show what he can do against B10 competition. I predict he's gonna get a LOT of rebounds at the very least.
Thank you

Agreed, too much freshmen hype. Ben, Kylan, Ty are in my top 3.

If you are doing the all offense vs defense team- you should switch Kylan and Tre - Tre will be good on offense - he already averaged 13 a game but his defense was poor- Kylan is already a good defender
I hate coulda would shouldas…but now I hate the ending to the Penn State game even more.
I like it but I would have Tre a bit higher. Outside of that agreed

I wasn't trying to create an even match-up. I was doing a version of predicted starters vs the bench. My point is that's a loaded bench team!
I also believe DGL can be fire with coach confidence.

Is Ben really better than Kylan? At first it all kinda felt like Boswell was the biggest transfer addition this year (not counting the Euros and Riley).

maybe I should check the thread before posting
really looking forward to hearing Boz's detractors eat their words
