I would start this group:

Petrovic
Boswell
Stojakovic backup Davis/Hummer
Mirkovic- backup Rodgers
Ivisic. Backup-Ivisic

I feel good with Boswell in one backcourt spot, Ivisic at the 5, and Stojakovic at the 3. And we have plenty of options at the 4 (Rodgers/Ivisic/Mirkovic). The biggest question mark to me is the #1, and whether Petrovic is good enough there.

No, he's got a huge upside as a player, but there's absolutely no fit there.

What I'd like to see, in a perfect world", is a bouncy, athletic 6'10" at the 4.....even if just to play 13-15 minutes to swat shots and grab boards. Some of those SEC teams have shot erases like that, but they aren't necessarily gifted offensively, which is fine. I'm interested to see how we're going to hold down the paint against a team with a bulky interior or a team with two rangy, athletic post presences. That's a ton of pressure to put on Z and Tomi, who could never be confused with being physical forces.
Really looking forward to see how it all comes together.
What's Omar Payne up to nowadays?

Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed KJ and Riley, but this roster is gonna be OLD and that’s going to be awesome. Expect a much cleaner product.

Seniors- Boswell, Rogers, Humrichous
Juniors- Ivisic, Ivisic, Stojakovic, Petrovic*, Davis
Sophomores-
Freshman- Mirkovic, Lee, Wagler
Sophomore Jakstys?

Assuming ~200 mpg to go around, will Ty/Ben be happy with this?
Andrej Stojakovic 31 mpg
Kylan Boswell 30 mpg
Tomislav Ivisic 25 mpg
Mihailo Petrovic 23 mpg
Ty Rodgers 23 mpg
Zvonimir Ivisic 21 mpg
David Mirkovic 17 mpg
Ben H 15 mpg
Jake Davis 10 mpg
Keaton Wagler 3 mpg
Brandon Lee 3 mpg
Ben is changing his last name to Humrichaus and invading the starting lineup.

Any chance there's a few guys left in the portal who actually want a chance to be a part of a championship caliber team and take less to come here now?

Honest Q, what does he give us that we don't already have with Ty? They seem very similar..not only on video but stats wise, particularly if you adjust for league and Ty having improved during the RS. Don't get me wrong...love Ty and Jones seems his clone, except maybe 3p threat?

39% from 3 for starters and he will spread the floor and won't be guarded by opposing 5s

I agree you need a guard. Unless you are planning on one of the freshmen taking those minutes.

I am thinking that Petrovic better be really good and that Petrovic-Boswell-Stojakovic is playable as a backcourt. If Petrovic isn’t, and you don’t add anyone else, I don’t think rolling with Boswell + 4 SF/C types is gonna work
Why can't one of the freshmen play a productive 5-6 minutes game? Plenty of frosh PG's elsewhere have done it and Brad has shown an ability to spot High School talent

Depends who we can get …

Lot easier to go to a donor and say hey, I need some help financially and I can get for example Will Riley … He’s ready to commit … I just need your help …

Donor sees tape of said player …

Donor sees superstar …

Donor sees winning …

Donor sees potential march success …

Donor hands over 💰

😎
I haven't gotten a call yet.

Need to pick up one more 2 guard to finish things up. Get the best guy you can for the most money you can. If he is better than Petrovic, you start him at the 2 and let Boz be pg. If he isn't as good as Petrovic, you start Petrovic at the pg and put Boz at the 2 like last year. Don't need anymore bigs with Hummric returning.
