The next Brad Davison (in my eyes).
You should get something to flush them out.

Is Bennett Stirtz the best returning PG in the nation. I watched him playing against UNI and I wasn’t terribly impressed. He is good but is he really the best PG in the nation next year?You should get something to flush them out.
It’s not at all like professional sports. There they have multi year contracts and teams can’t offer biggest contracts to players that are tied to other teams. Pros aren’t near as crazyGood lort, it really has become like professional sports. I wouldn't want to be a coach these days unless I had a Yankees type NIL. Too many other things to worry about and now players getting poached right under your nose.
So many CliffsThere are people on here who have started families and have kids in junior high who have no idea what you're talking about.
I’m new to posting, but amidst so many pusillanimous malcriados spewing all kinds of chorradas, your level-headed, equanimous, and sensible post was a huge breath of fresh air. Thank you!As CW emphasized in his most recent podcast with Blum, the portal never goes as planned, not for any school. Never. Ever.
Those two guys follow this stuff closely, I don't. I accept their explanation. Further, they say, coaches everywhere have a number of plans to fall back on when the original strategy hiccups.
Blum swears that regardless of Rohde's decision, we're gonna have a terrific roster when all is said and done. Why would I refute his position when myself, I don't have a clue?
I can let my imagination run wild, or I can control it and listen to those (and their innuendoes) who know a helluva lot more than me?
No. I don’t think he can duplicate how he played at Drake on a nightly basis in the Big Ten.Is Bennett Stirtz the best returning PG in the nation. I watched him playing against UNI and I wasn’t terribly impressed. He is good but is he really the best PG in the nation next year?
post players lost (5): 6-11 starter DJ, 6-7 reserve DW, 6-10 reserve BC , 7-1 reserve JTR, 6-6 reserve KF
post players getting (4) : 6-6, 6-9, 6-11, 6-8
It seems like we gave up 3 5's to get 1, and lost 2 4's to get 3 4's.
With 2 open spots, I am hoping we can get another rebounder/rim protector with some agility.
There are pros and cons with Jefferson playing the 5.
Certainly top tier. Depends what you are looking for in a PG.Is Bennett Stirtz the best returning PG in the nation. I watched him playing against UNI and I wasn’t terribly impressed. He is good but is he really the best PG in the nation next year?

This is actually kind of sad for the guy. He never got to have a normal childhood. IT was strickly about basketball. He won't have good high school memories or good friends from high school. He won't have a college he can tie his name to at all. All in the name of basketball.This is what it has come to.

One question I have is are we really considering only 12 scholarships? Why? I guess I’d try to find a dynamic 2 that can handle and defend and then another post. I think that you have to plan for injuries.
He is a nice player and will do fine at the high major level. But ranking him as the number 1 or 2 player in the portal this year is laughable. This is why no one should get bent outta shape about missing this highly ranked player or that highly ranked player. Scouting is a crap shoot.Is Bennett Stirtz the best returning PG in the nation.

If we're going that route as opposed to adding another guard, I think I'd rather have another high energy 6-9ish guy with good athleticism and just enough beef to play the 5 when needed. Gives us a lot more flexibility, especially on defense with switching.post players lost (5): 6-11 starter DJ, 6-7 reserve DW, 6-10 reserve BC , 7-1 reserve JTR, 6-6 reserve KF
