Talked with Grant Nelson after church today (my little man was excited for a photo with him). Told him he should consider IL for his last season. He said “Not sure about that”
You'll say that and more when he tries to pass it to himself off the backboard LOLWant Storr just so we have someone who can jump over the rim like TSJ and make me go "holy !!!!" during the game.
The team of the following is an extremely good well balanced team that absolutely would expect to be top 25 and compete for a BT championship. Bottom of the BT is an absurd take.
Boswell
Maddox/DGL
Ty/Davis
White
Booth/Johnson
Plus the potential of adding/keeping:
Domask
Hawkins
Amani
Harris
Storr
We are in a great spot with an exciting team next year that is certainly good and potentially great.
Wow, I wasn't aware that was the case! I just thought that once the number was hoisted, that was it.The numbers aren't retired. Just hung in the rafters with the appropriate name.
If you're gonna take shots, know what you're aiming at.
No but doesn’t mean it couldn’t be - by definition that team would have to be a top 8 team and win a BTT.I'm curious..say we land Maddox, Booth and Storr and assume no Hawkins or Domask. Do you think that team is better than last year?
To be fair, if he had succeeded I would have jumped out of my chair in awe.You'll say that and more when he tries to pass it to himself off the backboard LOL
Goode is not starting!! If Goode starts we are in troubleBooth is not a 5 at all. Nowhere close.
If I had to project starters of what we have at the moment if Amani/Harris are gone:
PG-Boswell
SG-DGL
SF-Goode
PF-White
C-Morez
Bench: Rodgers/Davis
I think you can play Boswell and DGL together given that Boswell is a bigger guard. They each have a gunners mentality when they get cooking. They can each push the ball. White should fill in a Guerrier role.
It’s a shame Dainja left bc he’d have a big role here on a team like this
Maddox has left Louisville's campus without a commitment and is en route to Champaign
Hate to say it but that's a bottom half Big Ten team unless Brad works some serious magic(which is possible)My father always told me to never show a fool a half done job…..
Bring objective, they might be lowered?Hahaha, one of the posts on the Arizona board (amid a significant majority of classy posts wishing the kid well):
“The expectations will be lower. He should do well.”
When were you Kitty Cats knocked out this year compared to us??
Boynton is giving Michigan the stiff arm?
0%. Neither Booth nor Maddox are transferring in to not start.Booth is not a 5 at all. Nowhere close.

Yes, actually. You probably did indeed over-simplify it. The added context, as well as the player comparisons are critical to fully understanding the roster-build.To over simplify it, Boswell is closer to a traditional point guard and Maddox is closer to a traditional shooting guard. I know this might not be exact but generally?
Boswell has a grounded under control game, reminds me of Brunson. Takes good shots, solid 3 point shooter. Well coached and schooled. Big body guard, not overly athletic or fast. Great for half court.Can someone compare and contrast Boswell and Maddox games? In particular how they would be utilized together. Thank you.
Have a tough time seeing Amani playing the 5 at his heightDoes this mean we are reeling a 5 that is a major upgrade to Amani?
I'd be overjoyed with a Boswell + Maddox backcourtMaddox approves of the Boswell commitment
Maddox is also way stronger with a ton more off the bounce game than Plummer. Was a 2-guard next to RayJ two years ago and shot 45% from 3 and then shot 40% from 3 as the lead guard last year — can comfortably play either guard spot.Maddox is a more skilled Plummer and Boswell has some (not saying he's as good) Deron Williams in him
