Not to make another "where do we stand with Storr" bit, but any word on Hawkins' knee?

He hasn't declared for the draft yet has he?

Getting four starting-worthy players in the portal is great and all, but starting four new guys you went out and bought, starring Storr who is the Mr. Out For The Bag story of the offseason....there are going to be narratives, I'm just saying.

This season wasn't like that because TSJ and Hawkins were the headliners as returnees.

The 97 Marlins title is just as nice as the others

So…

Boswell
Storr
Domask
Hawkins
Transfer Big

6th man: Maddox
7th: Ty
8th: Luke
9th: Sencire
10: Amani
11: Morez
12: DGL
13: Jakstys

Love it, but you’d think that top 12 will all think they should be getting minutes..?

You forgot Jake Davis who is also probably a redshirt candidate with Jakstys.

Domask and Hawkins are gone. You've also booted Moretti, we don't have official confirmation he's gone.

Harris, DGL and Amani haven't really proven they're integral rotation players yet.

But I agree keeping everybody happy with playing time is a concern. I would definitely be looking for another HS recruit opportunity as everything churns.

If you want an 8-9 man rotation that means you need 4-5 scholarship players who aren't playing. Jakstys and Davis are two, Moretti would be three, Harris, DGL, maybe another freshman?

good God, you're a walking rain cloud

there are definitely some concerns with Storr. but the paramount thing with him is being a 1st rounder, if not a lottery pick. I don't think he's dumb and I think Brad and company can refine his game. plus, playing with better players is bound to help. the system fits him like a glove. sure, there's risk. but the reward certainly outweighs it, IMO

Awesome and thank you. Hope it works out assuming Domask/Hawkins aren't back. Very athletic group with shooters. I missed Harris last year - would love to have him back but adding Davis, along with Amos, Maddox, and Booth/Amani more minutes offers more shooting. Storr is the scorer and guessing Hill would be the secondary scorer.

Boswell would benefit greatly from Fletch. He's already strong but he needs a bit more lateral quickness, and quick twitch off the floor. Fletch would really help refine his muscle and make him more agile. I also think Underwood could help him become more assertive offensively. For those that are unsure of Boswell, keep in my stats don't reflect defensive ability and they don't necessarily communicate ball security and running an offense. Boswell is a good defender and he's very good at setting the table for an offense. He could be an excellent defender with more lateral agility, and he could be a solid scorer with a bit more confidence and athleticism.

He's a no brainer take IMO
