There are some people here that have mentioned they believe it'll happen though. If everything shakes out this way, thoughts on this lineup? Johnson, Franklin, Stewart, Brooks, TJD? Even if Johnson doesn't end up coming, throwing Lander in there as the PG, is this lineup better with Brooks instead of Hunter at the 4?

Yes.. absolutely. The "stretch 4" yes is a ideally someone who can shoot, but it is also someone that can play on the perimeter/has guard skills. Keion fits that bill. He also rebounds very well, good defender. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keion is a rumor at this point at best (also can he actually shoot, not so sure) Keeping expectations low on Jerome... Geronimo certainly not ready for that...yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Brooks in the starting lineup because he offers something different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad died/he has a good relationship with Kenya. Other than that, I don't know. He's a career 36.6% 3pt shooter on 7 attempts a game.

Hoosierdave Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 Anyone know what our scholarship count is like? For example, if Race and Franklin stay, can we add Brooks? If we do add Brooks with those, do we have any scholarships left? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel a bit better about him now that he started at a big school and then went to UT Martin. And that he shot better that Pitt than UT Martin. I hope he is as good as advertised.

You'll probably change the goal posts again. Oh well, I tried. Not moving the goal posts. Just won't get excited until they prove something. I have been here and excited to many time to fall for it again. Fool me 4 times, shame on me. Not this time. Nope. Going to wait for the to prove it was a good hire and they can win basketball games, or hell, improve players from year to year would even be nice to see. I am very cautiously optimistic. But i will not jump feet first into the this. But i fully expect next year to be similar to this year. It is the same players. The same BBIQ and same inability to shoot the ball from anywhere on the floor. As mentioned so many times in the past. The coach can't shoot it for them, just put them in position. And we missed so many open and easy shots. So I will wait. Might make me a bad fan or something. But i will only put my hand in fire like 4 times before i learn.

LOL, knew someone would say that 😂. just wondering if it’s possible to keep our roster and add Brooks/Johnson or if that would make us over signed. But yes, I do agree that it will work itself out when there’s a projected 1,500+ transfers this year and Hunter/Fife as our recruiters.

If everyone comes back.. we have 2 extra scholarships, that's counting Thompson and Franklin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
