Agbaji and Dotson should both be better next year; the key, I think, could be getting Jalen Wilson for the 3 position to supplement.....Enumera, IF the visit tomorrow and Friday go well--summer classes start Monday... [Reply]
Our team profile is extremely similar to UNC 2017 who started #6 and just murdered people on the glass, while shooting only 33% from deep. They escaped a couple close calls on the way to the title. Could’ve easily lost 2nd round to Arky. But, rebounding is the only thing you can’t ever do too much of [Reply]
That's one hell of a front court you guys have. Love McCormick I think he will be a lottery guy. Hopefully we get bounced by you guys in Omaha. [Reply]
If he’s wanting to show scouts how dynamic he can be offensively, TT ain’t it. Plus Beard might be one of the 2 or 3 guys who expect more out of their guys defensively than Self.
Glad Grimes is gone. Dude is wet toilet paper mentally.
So damn glad Dotson is back. We'll be murdering teams next year. No team should be able to out rebound us. Dotson is a good enough outside shooter that if Ochai shoots well, we will dominate. [Reply]

the best part of it is our bigs can actually be aggressive since we have 4 guys who can all play. No more of this staying out of foul trouble shit [Reply]

That’s fairly horrifying. Can you imagine trying to defend a Dok that gives no fucks if he fouls out? Only that he eats your soul? LOL [Reply]

Doke was eating souls on the offensive end even when he had to be careful.
He should be terrifying to every team with the misfortune to face him next year. [Reply]

We can always go with 4 guards if we need to for stretches.
Say Doke gets in early foul trouble. Then you can rotate Silvio and McCormack at the 5 with a 4 guard lineup until late.
Having 3 monsters with NBA-ready bodies is what sets us apart this year. [Reply]
