2026 roster needs

[Lafayette]

hey if Mullins is back…

Silas, Solo, Braylon are starters in a 3 guard offiense.

Ross is probably 6th man like Haas unless he busts out as a 3 level scorer the he gets the start.

Stewart is also likely a bench rotation guy as he is now behind Ross and not a 4.

Priorities are 4s and 5s as Landrew could start at the 3 meaning we need a 5 more than a 4 given 3 guards - Braylon was definitely more SG than SF for us.

Work needed: Solo and defense - his constant sub outs/ins show how Ross was a defender many times over Solo. If Solo can move laterally better and not foul he gets a bump.

Hopefully we get Braylon back and get a solid C or 2.

Question remains on guys like Furphy, Jacob Ross, Uros: of them Furphy has the most upside but his injury early last year prevented him from showing much in practices.

If Solo and Mullins are both back which I think they will be they will be starting at the 2 and 3.

You're crazy if you think we're upgrading over Solo and Mullins. That will probably be the best starting combo in the country at those positions.

I think there’s a lot of underrating the injuries and circumstances behind their shooting numbers.

One more year of continued development and hopefully healthy bodies will give us one of the best wing duos in the country, to ADD to Demary, Ross and Landrew. I’d be excited as heck to start Ball and Mullins again.

Give me a good Center and another big Forward and I think we have another excellent team.

Ball and Mullins are both better than they were last year, I believe that.

 

[Hunt for 7]

Mullins will be back next year in my opinion.

Yes, no, no.
That’s the three guard lineup. People have forgotten how good Ball was last year when his wrist wasn’t hurt. He’s never losing his starting spot to Ross. Don’t over complicate this Stew was always going to be a “bench rotation guy” but as the primary backup 4. Like he was this year and last year…and I’m really hoping he returns. I don’t wanna have to get two 4s and two 5s.

Either you’re going to be wrong or not get your wish I assume.

Some of these kids actually believe in their basketball career and all.
