IMO, if we add TJS and Hawk stays as it appears he will then it may be difficult for Ty to start. Who are you going to sit out of TJS, RJ, or Hawk. He will play but I would expect our starters to be Sky, RJ, TJS, Hawk and Kofi. That's if the domino's fall like I hope. Plus Goode finished strong and his stroke looks legit and was even ahead of RJ most of the year. I am excited to add Ty and have big hopes but I don't expect I'm to start.

Let's try to start all 6 and see if anyone notices...Purdue started 8 against us @SFC and they got away with it.

My thoughts were as of now ......pre- TJS.......of course him or any other high value transfer would make for adjusting the thoughts then.......
Also great in concert!!

No it's I who should apologize, I'm lashing out at all of these acronyms for transfers being thrown around, I can't keep up with them all!

Wow - keep Kofi, add TSJ and Skyy
that would definitely be a DOMINANT ERUPTION.
2 freshmen and 1 sophomore... I prefer to have a transfer veteran guard as the insurance but I will wait to count until I have my ducks.
If Kofi comes back, Hawkins/Podz/RJ/Goode stay, & TSJ transfers in, I think its going to be very difficult for a non-PG freshman to play more than spot minutes. If one of them can beat out those guys, we've got a monster on our hands.

Pretty good looking prospect here, though he might also be exhausted...
What about his growth plates trough?

I honestly kinda prefer the idea of Rodgers coming off the bench -- but playing near starter-level minutes -- in any case, at least as a freshman (subject to change if he is just so ridiculously good that it'd be a crime to not start him). I like to have guys with boundless energy coming off the bench, as opposed to somebody like Hawk that seemed to have much better games when he was a starter. Of course, all this depends on how the roster shakes out, but Rodgers seems like a perfect bench piece (to start his career, I don't expect he'll stay there forever) given his on-court demeanor and his ability to sub in for anybody 2-4.
If we add TJS and Hawk, RJ, and Kofi stay, this should be a heck of a team by end of season when the FR guards adjust to college ball. However, none of those dominos has fallen yet.

I think that is all speculation at this point. After the crazy season we just had, I will take the depth. Yes please!

There's a gulf between starter/heavy minutes and spot minutes. While I agree with your main point, that doesn't preclude some of the new guys carving out more than a spot minute role.

This is what good teams do, they stack their rosters with 7-8 starter-level talents and let the chips fall where they may. If a Freshman significantly outplays a Junior/Senior with similar skills, they will get their minutes. All these guys are really confident that they will be Top 5 in minutes played at the beginning of the year. It's just a mindset you have to have to be successful. I welcome the competition and I would hope they do too.

One of two bands I got to lean on stage and high-five the band members.
Night Ranger at Illinois State Fair being the other.
Both were great concerts
Just imagine how good it would be if he talked to recruits
Maybe he just has a really good silent stare.
OKAY OKAY I COMMIT!!

That would be unfair. Probably cause NCAA infractions
