Comparing Incoming/Outgoing Transfers and Departures

Even if the talent level of the new guys is roughly equal to what we lost, doesn't this simply look like a much better assembled team? That's a big step forward.
 
Why do people keep comparing Alleyne to Martin?? Different positions /different profiles..CG vs SF.. Dan Hurley didn't bring him in to replace Martin.. He's a great fit for the 4 out/1 in offensive scheme that Dan Hurley is talking about.
The skill sets are very different (though Martin's shooting was severely underrated), but that's effectively where Martin's minutes are going.
 
I think we should bring in one more transfer that is about 6'6, averages 17ppg, shoots 45% from 3, has a 3 to 1 assist to turnover ratio, 2+ steals a game, 85% from the line, a lock down defender and volunteers at the local senior citizen center.
 
Another day another dumb a** post. Cole was a very good player? How do you figure Newton won’t be better than cole? He put up very similar numbers to coles at Howard in a better conference and he is 6’5 and better at finishing around the rim? Pointless to mention Floyd and diggins who never played any meaningful minutes.
Yet you felt like you had to reply. Speaks volumes.

If it's not Castle then it's gonna be nobody. We're not adding another stud from the transfer portal
We're not going into next season with 3 unused scholarships. There are still a ton of kids in the portal, and they're not all going to get starting gigs somewhere.

Oh I completely agree that we're going to fill at least 1 and probably 2 of the open scholarships. Just saying I don't think it's going to be a guy coming in and starting here like shizzle is suggesting we need to make sure happens
 
Yup, we'll see if he can do that in a major conference
The AAC isn’t that bad (see link below). I know we didn’t like being there but it's not low major like where Howard is and it's not even mid-major. Just below the top 6 conferences. Newton will be fine in the BE.

jmoney is heading to the AAC. does that count?
 
Would like to see us add a 1 year, Ed Nelson type, power forward.
Someone to bang down low. Don't know what we will get with Johnson and Springs and can use the extra fouls.

Not sure what we have. A lot of new players who have not played with each other. I wouldn't expect a very cohesive team before January.
 
At this point I am very comfortable with every position on the roster. I think we may even be sleeping on newton a bit. Obvi not set in stone, but i think there is a chance he is all big east this year.
 
The transfers out vs the transfers in is an obvious upgrade both in talent and even more so in experience which I think will pay huge dividends.

You forgot Academic All-American.

here's a comparison.
as of today, we got a 21 ranking for last season
College Basketball Rankings 2021-22 - AP Top 25

as of today, we're not even on the ranking radar for next season.
College basketball rankings: Tennessee soars into top 10 after landing five-star recruit Julian Phillips

don't they understand our obvious superior improvements, now laden with nba lottery picks?
mebbe there are actually other players and teams in cbb. who knew?

The rankings are sleeping on Springs.

Honestly, I like next year's team better than last year's. It may not have better players on average, but it fits together better and has a more versatile roster. Last year's team limited its coach; next year's team will be limited by its coach. If Dan Hurley is smart enough to play the chess pieces well, next year's team will be very good, and will win at least one NCAA game.
 
Predicting that the Yard will appreciate having Karaban/Johnson/Springs on the roster next year.. Dan Hurley in no hurry to take potential PT away from these guys(with more recruits at their position) in the portal era that we live in . Give them some PT and roll the dice. That position being PF/Stretch 4--However you define it

Springs can definitely rebound and without Martin, that may be appreciate more. Little mention of Donovan in this thread. Is that due to his stage of development or fear Danny won’t use him well because he doesn’t fit into a Wagner level scheme?
 
From what I hear, Springs needs to buckle down a bit. Would be great if he became a contributor like Whaley did.

i sure hope that u r right.
chemistry and durability remain to be seen.

We've seen a ton of this snark from Chief lately. Makes me wonder if there's a "rest of the story".

Chiefs snark aside, the story I heard on DC was that he is a lot more skill than most expect and won't merely be good due to his height. The one concern had been his conditioning (as a HS player) but from all accounts he is far ahead of schedule with the regimen he was given. He may end up doing pretty well as a freshman (and improve from there).

I made an observation about how other posts were characterizing next years team and asked a question about our top recruit at this point. LoL - that’s “snark”

Honestly, if he becomes half of what Whaley did I'd take it.

I still want another "4" that can bring defensive lock down attributes - we don't have those qualities in any of our bigs. While we might get to a sweet sixteen level, I think the lack of that will hold this team back from being top-2 Big East level and/or a sweet sixteen win (it could even hold us back in the first NCAA tourney weekend). ,

If we could only add another transfer portal guard or a defensive "4", I'd rather get the latter.

I think the snark was you referring to hurleys defensive scheme as Wagner level…
