I am in love with this kids' game. Would be a huge spring get. Ultimately I think Jalen comes back so we might have to Crean somebody to make room.

We need two more guards for next year maybe three, what guards have we offered? Our current scholarship distribution is a complete mess.

This... We really need another guy who handle/distribute, etc. If Jalen leaves, we have Vital, who is not a point guard, Ajinko, who is a freshmen, and Gilbert who may never be the same. Scary. Am I forgetting someone?

Is Larrier leaving b/c he simply wants to move on? Is he satisfied w/ Europe or otherwise? He's played at higher levels w/ greater athleticism. I believe a healthy and stronger Larrier is an NBA prospect, he is not there at this point.

He's been in college for four years now, he's 22, and staying here probably would not do him any good. He could easily make $$ overseas. Why would he stay?

Guards and a shooter are needed badly for next year

I’ll believe Larrier and Adams are leaving when I see them leave. Their professional prospects, overseas and elsewhere, are not good right now.

Adams would likely be able to get a G League spot, but the G League is usually a great way to stay in the G League. Advancement out of it is really, really hard.

Guys guys, you gotta stop labeling them as "PG's," Ollie wants to play position-less basketball. Carlton can bring the ball up the floor.

I went to a Red Claws game not too long ago. A cup of coffee in the bigs get your name on a banner.

We need 2 more guards who can handle the ball if Jalen leaves.


I'd say we need 3 in that case. We need one in case AG doesn't get healthy, a replacement for Andersen and then 1 if Jalen leaves. And one of these absolutely must be a shooter.

Well, we already have one coming in Akinjo. So 2 more. Would give us 4 guards plus AG if he can play.

Can't effectively run a guard orientated offense, assuming we will use 3 guards at times, with only 4 guards. Need 5 guards to be effective and cover for injuries, fouls and off nights.
