At a table? And in the COVID year you had to wear a mask to go into a restaurant.If you’re at a restaurant …
And you’re not sitting at a table … Or the bar …
You’re likely sitting in a _____ …
So you're saying a Domask waiver is on the table for that COVID year?
Think of it like Jimmy's deal with Bret ... He's here until he gets an opportunity that is just what he is looking for ...
Crazy thing is the kid just turned 18 ... Most people don't realize that ...
Fletch and Sanderson will turn this kid into a TANK ...
Honestly, this 13 is the stuff of dreams. I see legit 10 guys you can rotate in and provide great minutes. Outstanding stuff by the staff if this is what we end up with.

I know predicting starting lineups is tough when the team isn't even committed yet, hasn't practiced together yet, and haven't worked with Fletch yet, but would you guess the starting frontcourt would be?
I'm assuming Rez, Amani, Booth, and Ty would get the lion's share of the 4/5 minutes...maybe toss Tre (and maybe Luke) a few mins here and there at the 4?
At worst he’s a productive role player. At best. He’s the best player on the floor. Trust Brad. It’s a win win.
Any concerns that both are only 6'2?
4 undersized underclassmen in the front court was not on the bingo card….. are we bringing in a vet big?
Some proven talent mixed with some high upside keys. Staff has done a great job of unleashing upside guys (when they are bought in) Wish they had another foreign trip to help gel
This is from the Athletic's analysis. Is that a social media post or would you consider it more credible? I'm going to give this a chance and withhold criticism. I just reiterate that we created a strong culture this year. We need to maintain it.
At Louisville, White did basically the same thing on offense while strangely providing none of the defense that made him such an effective player at USC. I’m genuinely not sure what happened. His effort level wasn’t there regularly, particularly in transition defense.
If this is the 13, my starting 5 before camp would be:
Boswell - Maddox - Storr - Ty - Rez
If that was our roster ...
I'd say the starters would be:
Boswell
Maddox
Storr
Ty
Booth
Bench:
Tre
Rez
Amani
Goode/Davis
DGL/Buck battling it out for guard minutes
Booth is 6'11 ... I wouldn't consider that undersized ...
We are gonna play 5 out ... Which eliminates all of the big, big guys from wanting to come here because we all saw what happened with Dainja last year ...
6'2 is not a short for guard in college basketball. The only one in the bunch who I'd consider short is DGL.

Dip your nuggets in my staff source sauce.
Boswell and Maddox aren't as tall as Domask or TSJ, but they're really thick dudes. Strong. They would make a formidable backcourt. Maddox is a career 40% 3pt shooter on over 400 tries. You'd be plenty long at the other positions.
You will go far young man.
I could imagine how hard those practices would go with that many guys hungry/deserving to see the court.

I highlighted the portion I had issue with, which was speaking of him having the worst attitude and giving the least amount of effort on the team. These social media posts were posted earlier in the thread.

Pac 12 After Dark may now be extinct, but as the past 10 pages have shown, Loyalty After Dark is alive and well.
