Graves historically has played with multiple positionless guards/wings at the same time - Ionescu/Cazorla/S Sabally/Chavez/Moore, PaoPao/Scherr/Parish/Chavez, etc. All can shoot, pass, drive. And distribute ball handling responsibilities. Go Ducks!Not sure why a 5 star point guard (Chance Gray to Oregon) wants to back up Paopao (5 star PG with 4 yrs of eligibility left), Rogers (5 star PG with 3 yrs of eligibilty left), and maybe even Scherr (5 star Combo guard with 4 years of eligibility left). Nike $ a factor perhaps? (no, it's not a bad thing)
But in theory Paopao would be a junior when Gray gets there.Not sure why a 5 star point guard (Chance Gray to Oregon) wants to potentially end up relegated to playing backup to Paopao (5 star PG with 4 yrs of eligibility left), Rogers (5 star PG with 3 yrs of eligibilty left), and maybe even Scherr (5 star Combo guard with 4 years of eligibility left). Nike $ a factor perhaps? (no, it's not a bad thing)
Look at UCLA and Arizona and you can see where the trend is heading. Adia can't get enough PG's in case you have not noticed the style they run there.Not sure why a 5 star point guard (Chance Gray to Oregon) wants to potentially end up relegated to playing backup to Paopao (5 star PG with 4 yrs of eligibility left), Rogers (5 star PG with 3 yrs of eligibilty left), and maybe even Scherr (5 star Combo guard with 4 years of eligibility left).

I think you are right about Rueck's system or preferred style of play. It does not seem to attract the top tier of truly quick, agressive, ball-hawking, ball-stealing, full court pressure, run and gun, drive and dish point guards. Heck, if he had one (and Destiny Slocum came the closest) he would probably make them run extra laps as punishment if they went for ball steals instead of playing straightup position defense or constanty pushed the ball up court after makes or misses. The fact that Destiny transferred to Arkansas, probably is an indicator as well. Rueck is known to have a huge playbook, not something one would normally associate with a free-wheeling, improvisational style.Look at UCLA and Arizona and you can see where the trend is heading.

And if you look at a polar opposite situation I am not sure why Scott Rueck at Oregon State runs things so lean at the point guard position the last couple of years. Could it be it is harder to recruit point guards with a system of half court sets?
MK74 has given a good answer in the style Graves like to play. Multple PG's
Totally agree with everything you said.I think you are right about Rueck's system or preferred style of play.

Her social media activity certainly suggests that.I heard Ole Miss leads for Mikyalah Williams.
I dont think LSU was in her top group previously. She had been on visits to Ole Miss, Baylor and a couple other schools. That said, her parents are big Coach Yo fans.Her social media activity certainly suggests that.
