Next guy in fills the bench
Milan? Prather?

In that scenario take Milan and Prather then send Rise or Mitchell packing.

What an incredible day. TJ just jumped right on his targets and put a massive transfer class together

 

[CloneIce]

Will TJ consider a 10-man rotation with all the depth he's adding to his team? If everyone is contributing minutes and then getting a blow, hard as it is to imagine, they could actually bring even MORE defensive intensity to the court, now that would really be something. Defense, rebounding, steals, and the offense would take care of itself at that point.

He will consider it,sure. But like every season, we will eventually whittle it down to an 8 man rotation, 9 tops.

Otz is too quick. A bit of suspense is nice.

Prather

 

[GoSTATE71]

So Prather is the Milan replacement if Milan stays in the draft? Or we’ll take both and that means pushing out I’m assuming Rise/Mitchell?

TJ rarely misses on a portal signing so this should make us feel comfortable that the guys we're bringing in are going fit in and fill valuable roles. The caliber of guys we are signing have been getting better every year too. These aren't unknown guys these are guys that other quality program would like to have too. Getting Singleton and Johnson on the same day is impressive as they surely had multiple P4 schools interested in them. They also fit the mold of guys they are likely replacing in Lipsey and Jefferson and we have seen how TJ and his staff have a track record of elevating the play of guys that have come into the program.

I would love to have Milan back with the roster we have now but I'm sure TJ already has a contingency plan in plan if he doesn't. Feels like we must have the necessary resources for all this to happen so quickly so I'm not worried one way or another.

You could say that TJ only hit on 1/4 transfers last year, but hit on 3/4 recruits.

I doubt that will be case this year - there does not look like many minutes for the freshman.

Prather next?

Edit: actually might be for singleton. Looks like they never tweeted one out for him.

Anything is possible. Prather could commit, Milan returns and Bond decides to look someplace else. Not that I’m hoping for that but these things are fluid.

 

[Westside clone]

Bond may end up being a better defender than Heise. He was on the MVC all defensive team last year.

Heise played crazy good defense and guarded 4 different positions.

Yep

Otz is too quick. A bit of suspense...

He's spoiling us!

Only thing that sucks is we don’t get to play “what about this transfer” for the next month

Happily decline that because the scramble at the end rarely yields great results

Exactly what this fan base needs.

I’m so pumped about Bond so hopefully that isn’t the case. We haven’t had a wing player with bunnies and hops like that in a minute

You put a deep roster out on the court and the best 8-10 play. About as fair as it gets to freshmen and transfers. A year ago most of us didn’t see Toure, Batemon and Pleta having the impact they did. We’ll see.
