Landrew and Khamenia as interchangeable forwards makes the most sense to me. On defense they would pick up whoever the best matchup is for them.

Demary 6’4
Mullins 6’6
Landrew 6’6
Khamenia 6’8
Hines 6’10

Bench:
Solo 6’3
Ross 6’7
Machot 7’0 ??
County 6’4 / Transfer PG

9-man rotation.

High hopes that Landrew quickly becomes a must play freshman like Castle, McNeeley, and Mullins before him.

Looks good to me, think if we are looking at Machot level of Center I’d rather grab Bonke from same league who was previously at Providence

You mean the top 3 seeds in the country? Was never about winning or losing as much it was observing their rosters. UM was about the fact they had a front court bigger than most NBA FCs. Zona had a similar FC, with a high upside 2G and Senior PG, Duke about having 4 plus defenders plus mismatch Boozer. I don't evaluate teams through a scoreboard, But whatever you think.

Oh wow, bold stuff—picking the top seeds and calling it “insight.” Really going out on a limb there.


You basically just confirmed it yourself: UM was “the greatest team” right up until they lost, then—shockingly—Zona became the new gospel. Two losses later, suddenly it’s Duke, and we all get a full sermon about why this one is definitely the team to beat this time. It’s not analysis, it’s musical chairs with rankings.


Most people here are perfectly fine talking hoops and hearing legit takes. The issue isn’t that you bring up good teams—it’s that you crank it to 100 every time and act like it’s some groundbreaking revelation. Then when anyone pushes back, it turns into name-calling like we’re in a middle school cafeteria, which just makes people tune you out even faster.


And to be clear—I don’t hate you. You clearly know the game. But the delivery is pushy as hell, and that’s what turns people off. Dial that back a notch and you’d probably get a lot more people actually engaging instead of rolling their eyes.

Solo starts but his minutes are closer to 20 than 30, and there are plenty of games his defense (if not improved) keeps him out of closing lineups.

Why if your admitting Balls defense is suspect which is true, he should be used off the bench for instant offense particularly if he gets the shooting touch back…sports is the only real Meritocracy left in our society the best player for each position should start

Someone with that type of size. Another potential option just entered the portal.

He has to get his waiver for a 6th year which is unlikely. He played a lot this year after his surgery in December.
 
So with the Solo injury news, we’re rolling out:

PG - Silas/County
SG - Braylon/young Ross
SF - Ross/Landrew
PF - Khamenia
C - Hines

Work to do! I’d like an upperclassman PG, a backup SG that can score if needed, and a quality backup PF and C

Who are we currently in the mix for?

Has Jocob Ross declared he was back? I might of missed the annoucement.

Probably more like a Combo guard, Combo PF/C and Big Center who isn't highly rated even at a lower level that will just bascially gives 5 fouls if needed. He won't play much. Though I have no idea how much NIL we have left but after Hurley was complaing about it recently I'm sure it is not enough to get what you want at decent level for all 4 of those positions.

I love how you can talk down to/insult whomever, and that's apparently cool, but when people point out you're a disaster they're the "mean girls".

I get a bigger laugh out of someone who has no F^^%ing clue what they’re talking about trying to talk down to anyone. It’s amusing.

You said Purdue was the best, then Michigan was the best and one of the best teams ever who could go undefeated, then Arizona was the best, then Duke. You moved off of Michigan as soon as they lost their first game and then Duke was your new goliath after they beat Michigan. Florida was some sort of unstoppable force as well.
Expand ...
Ruff-Ruff- did you actually ever say Purdue was the best team in the country last year? That’s concerning if true.
 
Don't think it deserves it's own thread but this could have some reprecussions with the portal, Golden played at St Mary's and then coached at San Francisco so he's familiar with the Bay area. He could be an option if GSW doesn't retain Kerr.

FWIW Jacob Ross consistently warmed up with the bigs last year, not the guards. I am guessing Hurley views him as some kind of a combo forward. Not sure what kind of minutes he gets, either way.
