close, i was thinking how this is the best grilled cheese sandwich I've ever made in my life
the best cheese for a grilled cheese sandwich is Gouda. This cannot be disputed.

I love our roster right now. A grown man at point guard in Boswell. Other than Dgl all players 6.5 to 6.10ft..
Praying for Domask and maybe Coleman returning. Add a beefy center for minutes and fouls. I'll take Domask alone over Storr. You give me Coleman also, I'll throw the party.

If Hawkins and Guerrier were proven scorers, we have Boswell and Tre White.

Boswell averaged 9.6ppg last year. Hawkins averaged 9.9 as a junior.

Tre White averaged 12.3 ppg last year.
Guerrier averaged 13.7ppg as a sophomore but was down to 9.0 the year before he transferred to Illinois.

No offense, but the rest of your post was tl;dr for me.

The portal hasn't closed and we've been told we're adding 3 more players.

I will reiterate: there is no point in hand wringing at this stage of the offseason.

I also don't expect to be a top 10 team every season. We're adding multi-year guys. To me, it looks like the '25-'26 season could be special while maybe we earn a 4/5 seed next year while showing improvement as the season progresses.

Edit: And next year still has the potential to end up better than a 4/5 seed.

Why are some on Loyalty still obsessed with Storr? Based on insider comments, we’ve backed off due to drama with his team and he likely isn’t committing. Everyone assuming we need him for a successful season seems to forget there’s several elite players yet to enter the portal. According to Indy and others, Brad is playing chess behind the curtain. Be patient, no need for doom and gloom.

Anyone else think White might be the steal of the portal season? Seems like a kid that will really benefit from our system and culture. Assuming he buys in, I think we’re all in for a treat.
Was just thinking this last night. His patience and footwork in the midrange and post are really impressive. Doesn’t seem sped up.
