How refreshing to be in mid-May and have the roster in such good shape. This offseason has been expertly navigated by the coaching staff. Expecting big things to come from the 25-26 squad.

Absolutely, especially as I continue to see name brand schools fill out their rosters with guys that averaged 4 ppg on sub-250 kenpom teams

I mean... if we add to choose between Fland/Petrovic, would it be crazy to say Petrovic? Especially considering he's such a pure point who can set the table.

We won't know until we see him in in action! Fland IS a proven player at this level...and I would think he would have a better year as a soph. I would guess our staff is comfortable with the back court and Boogie would (I assume) need a big pay out. Hell I dunno :) . I do thinks a player will be added at some point.

Not even a debate to me as far as FIT.

Petrovic all day. Loved the add. Kylan is a combo guard. Why I absolutely hated the whole Adam Miller starting here saga. Neither he or Kylan are primary PGs. With Petrovic, you can stagger Kylan's PG minutes when Petrovic rests. Think Andrej will do a bit of ball handing too

Boogies absolutely making the right move coming back. Someone will pay him big

Yes, that would be crazy - I mean Fland is already a proven college PG, who averaged more assists than KJ, shot better from three and had less than 2 TO per game as freshman. He's an ultra quick PG that sets up others well and can score on his own. Compared to Petrovic, I think it's fair to say he's better than Petrovic at literally everything. There is no question he would be our starting PG if he came here. Petrovic would still get heavy playing time but would be a rotational guard.

I'm sure we're not going to raise the kind of $$ Bland's team wants, but there is a relationship there with OA and if he doesn't find a landing spot at the dollars he wants, we would be a great fit for him. I can't see Brad turning away Fland because "we're good with Petrovic". I'm high on Petrovic too, but he's not someone who would block a proven scoring PG like Fland.

Nice to know now that Coward never would have been coming here. Just exploded at the combine. Here comes Duke for Sarr 😮‍💨

This is all probably true, but the money we'd spend for Fland would be better spent elsewhere. With Petrovic already on board, an athletic SF would make sense and you could likely get a good one for what Fland would cost.
