Precious Achiuwa generic update

[Chief00]

Casual fan here....so pardon my ignorance - buts more than a bit intriguing that at this stage so called insiders have this tilted our way when our insiders seem to have less confidence.... Whatever happens, make it happen this weekend...

Chief never joined the “Next” crowd. Rain predicted, flood alert downstream from dam breach.

So are you predicting we get Precious, or is this your generic prediction so when we sign a JUCO that no one has ever heard of you can say “I told you the dam was about the break”?

Do not question the Oracle.

@Zionn your thoughts?

Yes

I don't think anyone has Precious tilted any way. It is one of the most quiet recruitment's I can remember.

Signing day is just 5 days away now.

How did you get the grasshopper to sound like a cricket?!

 

[Com'rGordon]

Wait so we will know in 5 days?

 

[Exit 4]

So something like:

1-Gaffney/Gilbert/Adams
2-Bouknight/Vital
3-Wilson/Polley
4-Precious/Diarra/Whaley
5-Akok/Carlton

And if not Precious. then the UNLV kid and/or a true Center so that Akok could play the 4.

I'm a causal fan, so hit me with my big mistakes.

I doubt he will be signing an LOI anytime soon. He probably won’t commit for another month.

Wait so we will know in 5 days?

No unfortunately not

Autotune?

Gilbert and Vital are starting.

 

[Com'rGordon]

Gilbert and Vital are starting.

I'd guess

Gilbert/Gaffney
Vital/Bouknight/Adams
Precious/Polley/Wilson
Akok/Wilson/Whaley
Carlton/Idk lol

 

[HuskyHawk]

Gilbert and Vital are starting.

Vital is probably not starting. Gilbert certainly is.

1-Gaffney/Gilbert/Adams

5-Akok/Carlton

Imo I hope it looks like:

Gilbert/Gaffney/Adams
Vital/Bouknight
Precious/Wilson
Akok/Polley/Diarra
Carlton/Whaley

If the roster stays as currently constructed with the addition of Precious. Lots of versatility and multi positional players in there. Would need big strides, health, and energy from Diarra/Whaley.

If Carlton has foul trouble and we need to counter with speed and length..

Gilbert
Vital/Bouknight/Gaffney
Wilson/Polley
Precious
Akok

 

[KingAG]

I would love for this to be the first time Zionn is wrong in a long time

 

[auror]

Making mock starting lineups including a guy who has done OVs to Kansas and North Carolina and hasn't planned one with us.

 

[JMick]

Is there really any proof of this at all?

Just sayin'.

It's Brad Underwood. We don't have proof but the guy seems like a cheat everywhere he's been

I just did this exercise to better understand where and how people expect this roster to come together. I was having trouble understanding the potential 2019 line up.

 

[lange10]

Vital is probably not starting. Gilbert certainly is.

Not to derail the thread about PA but I love how people already have Bouknight starting over Vital. Makes zero sense.

Kids haven’t even practiced in Hurley’s system. Let them all have a chance. CV averaged 14 last year and shot 40% from 3. He deserves to start over anyone...

 

[HuskyHawk]

Smith started over him late last year. Bouknight and Gaffney are more talented. CV might start, but I think he’ll be offense off the bench. Let’s see how his ball handling improves in the off season. It’s experience vs talent. Experience is valuable and I think CV likely is in at the end of games.

Precious or no Precious, CV isn’t playing SF anymore on this team. Adams might and Bouknight might in small lineups.

Bouknight might start no matter what. He is roughly the same height as Wilson as he is thought to have better skills. Right now he will at least backup there. We definitely won't put Polley there due to his lack of lateral quickness and below average ball handling skills.

Precious is more likely to play 5 than Akok.

I think you can put Precious at less than 1% chance of coming though.

 

[intlzncster]

Precious or no Precious, CV isn’t playing SF anymore on this team. Adams might and Bouknight might in small lineups.

I think you'll see Bouk there a fair bit this year. Three guard lineup, with the 3rd guard (Bouk) being a bit of a combo wing.
