This will check our biggest gap in depth with Kofi out. The second gap is where do we go after Belo and Trent at the point. BU said the were working with Hutch there and it seems like Podz is also a possibility. It seemed exposed with Trent hurt and the gap is huge beyond those two. Despite our depth we are one injury away from being a much different team.

Hopefully, we never find out. I imagine Plummer can play the 1 in a pinch.

I’m sure Plummer “could” play the 1, but in the games I saw him play against Oregon St. in past 2 years I don’t ever remember him playing point/being primary ball handler. I think it is also telling that I don’t think I’ve heard BU mention PG and Plummer in same sentence. So while he could play PG, probably not anywhere near ideal. Like you said, hope we never find out.

For Tuesday.....Trent is looking likely to play. Have heard Curbelo picked something up so he is 50/50 to go Tuesday but it is nothing serious he will be back within days, may or may not play Tuesday. Damonte is good to go.

Would really be a test with Belo, Trent and Kofi out. Hope they’re both playing.

I think you save #4 (in Orange) for big games and you save #5 for your BIGGEST games (ie scUM, etc.). I’d have them wear #2 at home and #3 away at most other games. I don‘t like #1 at all. Or just get rid of #1,2,& 3, and just wear #4 and #5 all season!

So is this the complete report?

Kofi out (NCAA stupidity)
Hutch (bruised tailbone)
Trent (shoulder? almost fully recovered)
Curbelo (? 50-50)

Should give a lot of other players an opportunity to get some tick and work out some of the kinks.
