Another nice pick up for Depaul in Layden Blocker. He was a pretty high four star freshman last year, in the Nowell range. Didn’t get a ton of burn but Arkansas fans were clamoring for him to get more minutes and bummed he left.
Yeah, Holtmann did a very good job on the portal in spite of taking over a team that has been awful.

Here's the list of all of DePaul's transfers:

My guess of starters:

  • Layden Blocker 6’2 175 SO from Arkansas, 4p, 1a, 13 mpg
  • Jacob Meyer 6’2 195 SO from Coastal Carolina, 15.7p, 5.1r, 2.6a, 40 3P%
  • Isaiah Rivera 6’5 210 GR from UIC, 15.4p, 4.2r, 1.8a, 41.6 3P%, 77 FT%
  • JJ Traynor 6’8 190 GR from Louisville, 10p, 5r, 37 3P%,
  • David Skogman 6’10 235 GR from Davidson, 13.3p, 5r, 47 3P% 25 mpg

Bench:
  • Troy D’Amico 6’7 212 SR from Southern Illinois, 9.3p, 3.7r, 2.6a, 36.4 3P% in 32.3 mpg
  • CJ Gunn 6’5 175 JR from Indiana, 13 mpg
  • Pat Suemnick 6’8 235 GR from West Virginia, 4p, 3r, 14 mpg
  • NJ Benson 6’8 225 JR from Southern Illinois, 8.6p, 7.9r, 1.6b, 63 FG%
  • Conor Enright 6’1 180 JR from Drake, 7p, 3r, 3a, 1s, 44 3P%
  • David Thomas 6’2 200 SO from Mercer 11p, 2.3, 40 3P%
Blocker is a bad shooter, but he's surrounded by shooters, making him a candidate to leave the conference in assists.

Also surrounded by bad defenders. Every other starter had a negative D-BPR last season. I can't see them defending anybody as a team this year. Which was also Holtmann's problem at Ohio State, so it's not like he will coach them up.

They’re going to play great defense, but I’m expecting a lot of ugly rockfights from the Johnnies next season.
Do they have any legit players in the front court? No depth there at all don't get why Goodman is saying they should be a top 10-20 team

They do have a thin frontcourt. Definitely going to be a guard/wing oriented group. Richmond, Smith, and Luis all have big usage rates, Scott should be their floor spacer at the 4, and for bigs I expect mostly rim running. I see shooting as a major weakness, but I do think they have a chance to be elite defensively and they have a lot of willing passers/playmakers.

Yeah, it's going to be an interesting lineup for sure.

If the season starts today, here's their nine-man rotation:
  • Deivon Smith & Kadary Richmond- 30+ mpg backcourt
  • Aaron Scott, RJ Luis and Brady Dunlap - combine to play all 3/4 minutes. Personally, I love Aaron Scott and see him getting close to 30 mpg at the 4. So basically, these three will play the 80 minutes at the 4
  • Vincent Iwuchukwu and Zuby Ejiofor share the 5 spot.
  • Battle betewen Simeon Wilcher and Jaiden Glover for the first guard off the bench.
Rock Fight City.

Anderson was pretty horrible at Boise St after being pretty poor at UC San Diego, so it'll take some coaching up from Miller.

Yep. No wonder the post quotes his gaudy he Azerbaijan FIBA U20 European Championship numbers instead.

Everybody is assuming Shulga picked VCU over Nova, but he might not have been admitted to Nova and chose to return where he knew he had eligibility. Either way, Nova should be terrible next season and everybody knows Neptune will be canned.

Nova fans think this was a result of the impending Wooga Poplar commitment and he wants to run the offense

Could be true, could be their way of coping. Poplar is a Philly guy, and they are expected to get him. Still, that roster has some pretty big holes on it.
