Stewart next season

Stewart at the four and Karaban at the three?

Also, what are the expectations for Ross next season?
Stewart looks more athletic and explosive, since he lost the baby weight prior to the start of the season he looks like a 3 with Karaban continuing to play the 4.

Seeing Stewart play this season, there's no reason to try to bulk him up.
 
What gets you excited?
Strength. Spring. Shot (in progress). Wiggle/post-up/short game (exists and can't wait to see it flourish).
Breakout around BE time.
I was sold from the first game i saw him. He was built and moved like an NBA player. I think hes going to be terrific and we know he can score but his rebounding and defense are really going to make him special.
 
Stewart is so athletic. Has that knack of getting rebounds, can pass, block a shot, get up and down the court in a flash and hit 3's. He is going to be a big contributor next season.
If Karaban comes back, Stewart and Ball improve like we think they will this team is just a transfer at C and Nowell being the real deal away from making another run. Of course there are some other things we need to fall our way but this is a nice start.
 
Given our lack of pursuit of the the true rim protecting 5, I’m wondering if the approach here is building size at the 3-4 with Stewart.
Idk, but I'm sure we're going after another big, not that we can expect anything like Cling Kong. We've got a ton of rebounds to replace for next season. Lots of everything to replace but no one had a backcourt, 1 through 3, rebound like us the last few years.

It'd be nice if Reed were being recruited to back up or replace Karaban (if he enters the draft) at the 4 and we're still going are a true run protecting 5.
 
Singare was the only one outside of the consensus top 100. Ross was in the 75-80 range.



Also, remember that in the preseason Hurley said Ross had cracked the rotation. He played in the first 2-3 games and then quickly fell out of the rotation. So Hurley must have seen something in all the practices leading up to the season. We need to have some patience with the current freshmen. It's Hurley's way. If they all stick around they will get there.

Ross was much lower for a lot of his senior year and jumped almost 50 spots in April last year in the composite. Not sure if he was not rated by a service, or he really just jumped that much in a few used in the composite.

Reed shoots almost exclusively at the rim, he's not being recruited as anything other than a 5. It would be worse than the years playing Whaley at the 4, because he doesn't fit on offense or defense
 
Diarra's jump is the Championship standard to me. Edwards now has that ring and the confidence/pedigree to go with it. He'll enter every game as a Champion which no opponent can match, already at an advantage. Champions (all of them) know what it takes.

Edwards potential is high, and he really could be a star.
 
I am optimistic Ross will contribute meaningful minutes. He's very young (19 I believe) but tall and athletic and when he fills out and gains confidence there's no reason why he can't be "Son of Castle."
 
Well if you listen to Dauster’s most recent Top Dogs podcast we don’t have anyone named Jaylin Stewart on our team next year, but we have a guy named Jaylin Williams. He says Williams like 3x in a row when mentioning Stewart. Hope our guys don’t listen to his podcast because that’s a pretty bad mistake for such a “super fan”

He is such a clown. He is the podcast version of Donny Marshall, but somehow even worse.

Alex tweeted that Jaylin will be "the best player in the Big East" next year.

((If that's actually Alex K. Gotta admit I'm not sure.))

What gave you any hint besides someone named Alex that this was Alex Karaban?

He’s been building him up for awhile …he plays against him in practice every day .. Jaylin most be doing a lot in practice for Alex to say that
 
Thought you were referring to minutes. I expect Stewie to play a major role in this years team, excited to see him get starters minutes.
Ok - yeah thought that may have been the confusion. I think he’s probably in the 20-25 minute range.
