Don't know why they're rated where they are, but looking at their stats...
Been crystal clear from day 1 that he's ours if we're the top bidder by $0.01, and gone if we aren't.
I guess my feeling is that I see basically no chance that he's our 5th-6th option.
I like this mainly for multiple self-interested reasons, but I gotta admit that I also like moving quickly b/c it gives other guys currently on the team a chance to reflect on the new squad and weigh their future here more concretely. I don't want guys to transfer out, but I do want them to be given the opportunity to make these important decisions with full information and time to act, rather than feeling like they're the guy left without a chair when the music stops and the portal is closed.
Agreed, Tre is certainly higher variance than Guerrier. Higher upside but also distinctly higher risk. I too don't see blah role player for him. But I also think our 6th and 7th men this year will likely get very solid minutes (15-20mpg), so I do think there's going to be wiggle room there from starter or bust. I'd guess he'll be fighting for one of those roles this year. He has the ceiling to get there for sure, but he'll need to bring it from an effort standpoint to get past our high effort gatekeepers
EV analogy?? Pffffft.... F#$k that. There is only one acceptable car analogy for the current state of this program.
I assume you mean Storr, Boswell, Booth and Maddox? That would be oversigning by one which makes sense.
I guess we're jumping the gun on Moretti, true
Are we in the hunt for a true 5? (Don’t recognize Davis. Is he a 5?)
Jake Davis. First transfer commit.
It is funny. I see this a lot calling them multi year. I guess you are right in the sense they can play multiple years but every year they could just transfer only that year is guaranteed. I don't even think they can be penciled in for another season.
It doesn't seem like it. Booth seems to be the only frontcourt piece we're after
Oh yeah! Thanks.
definitely not a 5...
Davis is a wing shooter. Booth in the list is a 5, but not a big, lumbering banger style.
Maybe I just have trauma watching Illinois get dominated by every big man they played this year. Felt like they need to get that in the portal. Hope I’m wrong.
The idea would be that Morez, Hansberry and Booth would be enough coverage.
I had the same thing happen when Indy listed his lineups at one point. I thought he was talking about the guy from Indiana St, and was wondering if he’d be here for that small of a roll until I remembered we signed Davis.
Who is outbidding us?
Amani is a banger. Just not supersize or shot blocker. With Dain gone I think he will be charged with defending the big 5's. It would be nice to have another banger to give 5 fouls defending the post but if we can only have one more big I am happy with a shot blocker like Booth.
I believe Indy was being sarcastic
