Well I hope we can find a big man since Amani is leaving otherwise bigs are gonna eat against us again, yet worse.

If he is Fred Van Vliet we’re in great shape. I question you watched him in high school at Auburn cause he was special. And obviously Wichita state he was great SMH!

I've been enjoying the Masters today , with the wind kicking up big time.......One of the announcers said they had sand in their teeth from the wind and the bunker sand.......wow......
Love enjoying the beautiful landscaping at the Masters......signals spring is at hand for me...........
Learned today that the 13th tee box used to be a nursery before Bobby Jones bought it in the early 1930's and incorporated it into this magnificent golf course.......

Those guys may have won in the paint, but which team won most of those games?

Time to start dreaming over some options other than Storr. Losing quite a bit of steam there...
Great info. Appreciative. I almost would rather have Conwell. Is that crazy talk?

Was DD so terrible at the 5 that, given how often we got punked and how vulnerable CoHawk was at the 5, DD warmed the bench so much this year?
I think we might be surprised what Amani can do against big 5's after 6 more months with Fletch. He looked very strong in the games he played in.

Yep, I am an Auburn Grad.
No ... I think they're similar players ...
Another thing to consider about constantly pushing the envelope on how much you give one player in NIL, how does that make the rest of the guys feel? These are kids that have likely never seen anywhere close to this much money before. It’s only natural to compare yourself to that guy next to you. Not a great way to start a locker room if you get bullied into overpaying one guy and not others. Not saying that is happening, just that there can be more consequences than a poor investment.

Nah ... Going to go through the draft process and come back ...
Potential portal kid ... But Ben thinks he's coming back ...
As a Georgian, the wind is less enjoyable up close. Branches flying all over around my place and a neighbors windshield took a beating.
WE play a 5-out. Hawkins was our 5 this year and he shot from the outside quite a bit. With a 5-out, you ideally want all five guys on the floor to be a threat from 3-point range.
Yeah… Notre Dame plays 5 out too. And Booth publicly said he didn’t like playing the 5

True, but I have heard a few times that Coleman would have much preferred to play a 4, and I wonder if Booth is saying something similar. I think if you're going to have a "stretch 4" serve as your big and have him defend 5s, it really helps to have someone that really embraces that challenge of defending larger 5s as a part of that role.
Along these lines, I wonder how Booth (and Amos, for that matter) could serve as a large 3, potentially. Ever since we switched Coleman on to Storr in the second half of the B1G tourney title game and it was VERY effective, I've wondered what a lineup with Coleman at the 3 for some serious size would have looked like.
Somthing like:
Domask PG
TSJ
Coleman
Quincy
Dain as your starting 5
And I wonder if you have another shot at doing something similar once Amani and Rez develop a bit with Booth or Amos as your 3, Amani as the 4, and Morez the 5.
I like Maddox as a dog, but honestly prefer Conwell anyway. If legit, would love that to go with Boswell
I think I'd prefer Amos over Booth
He does have the ceiling to get drafted in this weak draft albeit not a first rounder.Nah ... Going to go through the draft process and come back ...

where do we stand with Storr?
I hope so, but he may be out of play now. Already seeing crystal ball predictions for him to Oklahoma.
