He could for sure, it would just look different than what we've been doing. The most natural thing to do is get another shooter to keep the offense humming, and figure it out defensively.

That being said... A lineup of Big Z, Ty, and pick whatever 3 guards you want would be fun to watch. Could switch 1-4 with Z as the rim protector and offensively you can really run.

Tempo is going to be the thing to watch for me. Don't forget we started the season trying to play pretty fast. Got slower and slower as the season went along. But I do think Brad's natural mindset is to attack and be aggressive. Wouldn't be surprised if we try to pick up the tempo again, but let's see how the roster finishes up first.

We were pretty selective about pushing the ball up the floor by the time big ten season started but if Andrej was the leading the break you knew he was going to push it especially if he only had one guy to get by. I still think one of the funniest plays this season was Mirks full court underhand pass. Between that and him losing the ball a few times trying to lead the break he certainly took a lot better care of the ball in those situations as the year went on. It was nice to have a team that didn't turn the ball over or foul at a high rate for once.

Blackwell’s father said that he wanted him to stay in the B1G and the last time I checked Duke and Louisville were not in the Big Ten.

I think it’s going to go in favor because of what his own dad said last week.

Of course I am sure the family will be delaying to see if someone comes in with an outrageous package. Could be that will be the case but I feel good.

What happened to the other cant miss recruits last year? None of them in the Final 4. Count me as confident in any pivot for an everyday guy.

It seems there is an insider or fake insider on the Louisville side that is the reason they are all acting giddy. Supposedly called the Shelstad/Flory thing and claimed they (Louisville staff) talked to Blackwell and he said if they got those two he’s in.

The problem is, it appears to be an unverifiable text going around that could literally just be made up, but, that’s one reason their fans are acting the way they are right now.

And where did Blackwell’s father play college basketball?
