I've never seen a bigger group of gate keepers. Never claimed to be an insider, someone close to the program told me something, I shared it ... got called a troll and was just saying I was right. Never seen so many ppl on their high horse assuming everyone needs their approval. Just thought I'd share something with the group, guess that's not allowed unless you know every detail going on.

No idea if it's new or not, but Nahiem does follow Ramey on IG. Would love if he's the next target

People might be more inclined to believe you if you didn't act like an insufferable blow-hard in 90% of your posts. I can personally attest to fake insiders on this board being quite revered simply because they aren't insufferable blow-hards.

90% of your posts are just critiquing how other ppl post and going at ppl that aren't in your little club. What did i say in that interaction that just went down that was bad...cause you 'disliked' every comment i made. It had nothing to do with the content within the post it was just cause I was the one who posted it. nothing but gatekeepers

This does remind me of a great scene in The Importance of Being Earnest.

Lady Bracknell: I have always been of opinion that a man who desires to get married should know either everything or nothing. Which do you know?

Jack. [After some hesitation.] I know nothing, Lady Bracknell.

Lady Bracknell. I am pleased to hear it. I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone.

Who were you responding to? Or were you arguing with yourself, because I think that is the only one left on the BY that you haven't argued with.

Are there still plenty of minutes to go around though after the last 2 weeks? If we lock down Rudi and Castle does reclass (as expected) that's 11 guys that have a legit shot at playing time. Even if we get Rudi and Castle decides not to reclass or vice versa that's still 10 guys fighting for time.

Newton
Alleyne
Hawkins
Castle (if reclass)
Rudi J (If we get him)
AJax
Sanogo
Karaban
Samson
Clinigan
Springs
 
Have to assume minutes breakdown would be something like this:

1: Newton (32), Back Up* (8)
2: Alleyne (30), Back Up* (10)
3: Hawkins (30), Jackson (10)
4: Jackson (20), Samson (10), Karaban (10)
5: Sanogo (32), Clingan (8)

There is one more spot for rotation minutes be it for Castle reclass or for Rudi / Ramey / Odukale transfer. I'd be ecstatic at either outcome for that person to get 15-20 minutes provided they were willing to accept that role.

That's a rotation of 9 guys that could tighten to 8 by tourney time depending on what ends up working best during season and / or injuries.

Springs and Samson combined for 92 minutes last year. That and the fact that freshman didn't get much playing time this past year, its hard to say Samson, Springs, Clingan, and Karaban are all guaranteed to be playing big minutes. Don't get me wrong I hope they do, but that combined with not knowing how Newton, Allenye, Rudi/Castle mesh with other guys on the court once thye are here, I'd see playing time way more as an open field going into the preseason. Minutes are up for grabs, there are certainly plenty of suitors, but if you think you're good enough the minutes are there for the taking

We really don't have plenty of minutes. We basically have enough room for one more significant (20+ mpg) contributor.

Estimated MPG on the roster:
Sanogo - 32
Newton - 32
Jackson - 32
Hawkins - 30
[New Player] - 25
Alleyne - 20

Clingan/Karaban/Johnson - ~30 total

There's not a wealth of minutes available unless you take them away from someone whose already a significant contributor.

Newton takes the place of Cole as the primary ballhandler.

I'm betting Alleyne and [New Player] are more competent ballhandlers and contributors than Gaffney/Diggins and at least one can be a good backup at primary PG. Alleyne shooting from 3 at almost 40% more than makes up for that.

Jackson is capable as a ballhandler and Hawkins is competent, but not primary. That gives us 5 players who are able to handle the ball.

We really don't need more than one more solid guard.

Samson Johnson isn't going to play just 10 minutes a game. Sanogo isn't going to be able to play 32. Clingan won't get 8. Johnson will be the backup 5 more than Clingan. It doesn't matter on offense, but if he's starting, Alleyne is stronger than Hawkins and is more likely to guard the 3.
