Maybe it's time you asked yourself, What would Ben Gordan do?

Starting a freshman point guard is very risky unless he's a one and done. It just takes time to get used to the game. There are exceptions of course, like KEA, but I seen Waters play and as good as he is he is not someone who you hand the ball to on day one and said lead this team into the Tourny.

Wonder if we pick up another guard if Vital will start looking at his options. Was before MAL was released

Which, if true, shows you that college basketball has become a comedy of the absurd. Vital, on most of our past good teams, is a 0-5 minute a game player as a freshman. He showed he can contribute, and he will. But he's not the star player on any decent D1 team.

I like this, except for Paxton's avatar looking suspiciously like that of RUSS56.

The idea that vital thinks he should walk into 28 + mpg or anything in that realm is preposterous, I seriously hope those were just rumors when someone on the beat suggested he was "weighing options". Pure lunacy.

I think we are his plan B. Waiting for a few other kids to pick a school

Who is plan A

Who is plan A

Duke is his dream school and if Allen leaves and Duval goes elsewhere they may look for a guard. And Indiana is waiting on departures and may want a guard if Blackmon leaves.

Yup

 

[KembaStepback]

So what are our chances? Like 50? Also if IU and Duke are ahead...doesn't that make us Plan C?

 

[intlzncster]

Concussion protocols = bad on this board, though, right?

From one very distinct corner.

I look at it more as 27 years of great Karma being balanced all at once. But if we're no longer in the karma surplus category, I'll take it.

This fanbase is unaccustomed to the fact that sometimes in life things just go wrong. KO's first five years in total have been mixed, and maybe overall somewhat disappointing, but I would assume he still has plenty of rope left. We now have an unexpected roster rebuilding job, but whether the roster rebuilding is expected or unexpected or necessary or unnecessary, some times it has to happen.

If KO's run is overall disappointing, we are doing all right. I have little doubt that every single school in the country would trade their last 5 years for ours, with the exception of Duke, UNC, UK, Louisville, and Villanova.

I doubt Blackmon leaves and if not IU does not have a scholarship for him. We're probably only behind Duke if reasonable things occur. But it's also reasonable for Allen to come back at Duke. Just gotta wait at this point.

Think we could beat out Indiana. No way we could beat out Duke

If we play 3 G and TL at the 4 then our 5 has to be a damn near immovable object. Our center cannot be like a cork bobbing in the ocean.

Cobb is a pretty big dude...

a big dude who would be bent over hyperventilating if he tried to go up and down the way UConn likes to play. I seriously hope he is working on his conditioning like his life depends on it (or at least his basketball career). Like fleud, he is the signing that I do not get at all.

He can just stay on the defensive end.
