That would easily be top 3 - I don't think we would have the money to get Richmond and Denim though - getting either one and then another SG like Poplar or Lanier to pair with Richmond or Denim at the three would be an insanely good team

No - not top 3. Top 3 at the end of the season might be likely but in the preseason rankings we will be ranked Top 10 at the very best and likely in the 10-20 range.

And Richmond and Demin is just as likely if not more likely than the other combinations and scenarios you listed. Way way more likely than Chaz and Richmond.

I agree, although I can't imagine a starting lineup that doesn't include Tre White. But I'm still greedy; give me Egor and we might be no. 1 in first AP poll. It would be a lineup to win a national title.

yeah, barring injury (or severe chemistry issues), that's a legit contender

I think that's silly. Ivisic will start from day one at center. See Hensonhall71 above. He nailed it.

He'll start immediately and be one of the best centers in the big ten. He has a developed post game already, can shoot with both hands around the rim, a very good three point shooter with a smooth and natural shot. He's 7'1 so he'll be tough to block for anyone.

He's playing against former NBA players and pros in the Adriatic league now, so he'll be used to the physical nature of major college basketball. The only question mark for me is his defense - I haven't seen a lot of his tape to know how good he is on that end, he only blocks about a shot a game, so not a true rim protector like Clingan or Onyenso - but I'm sure he can rebound efficiently.

I agree with all of this, but let's hold off on trying to judge his defense. There's a. hell of a lot more to post defense than shot blocking.

Demin is by far the preferred wing. Kadary Richmond is more of a combo-guard and not a very good shooter.

Richmond is likely landing at St. John's as well, been that way for a while. If they got a kid from college that's not Demin I think it would be someone not named Richmond.

That being said, I think there is a better than 50% chance we get Demin right now

The 3-4 Seton Hall games I watched last season was all about Richmond driving the lane for a close in shot........I agree he isn't a good shooter ( based only on the games I watched ) but he is a BEAST down low as far as rebounding........kinda played out of control too..........

But he is a good player as he was the player SH went to for their offense.......I can't really remember how his handle was ....I really really can't.......................
