That guy has an it factor that we need. And obviously TJD. God I hope so. I want to keep Race but if everybody else returns I could see him odd man out unless he can start shooting the 3 better 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it was best for both parties. That being said. We absolutely need to have 13 scholarship players next year. 14 if Brunk returns If I understand the rules correctly Brunk doesn’t actually count towards our scholarship count Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's also the Pros, so that might not mean much... I never had a problem with only playing 7-8 players like Archie did. It was thinking he could do that with only having 11. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a scholarship athlete. But we get to have 13 others. Right now Woodson needs a stable for his first year. Some people aren’t going to adapt and he needs to be able to have enough to run 8 guys that fit out there 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brass Cannon Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 So by my count we have 6 players either not in the portal or committed. With Brunk a hopeful 7th. With 5 more in the portal or awaiting Decision. TJD, Race, Armaan, Lander, Geronimo That means Woodson has 2 spots to fill. More if we lose people. But ideally I think we want to keep all those guys.

Seeking6 Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 Just going to say this. I wish our program was on cruise control and just rolling. There is something fun about the climb though. Going to be fun to see what unfolds over the next 24 months until we get a full couple cycles of what Coach Woodson's vision is. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be great if he had a point guard with elite speed and floor vision to feed those guys the ball, and an elite guy to score inside. We would be really hard to guard with the right scheme. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel more positive at this moment than I think I ever was with Archie. And, that includes how I felt immediately after Romeo committed. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would add Leal to that trio. I really think he can be a solid contributor if used properly in the right offensive scheme. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Leal is coming off of the bench next year, but I hope Leal plus those other 3 I mentioned are all getting up 5+ threes per game each. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H00sier Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 I hope Franklin, Davis, and Lander stay ,they could be a special trio.

Honestly I’ve always like our guys and mostly just think their system was junk. We need to improve guard play but an impact transfer or two and getting out guys out of the portal could be huge. I like our bigs but man we need one of them to develop an outside shot or get one in the portal that can.

Fundamentals Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 (edited) FWIW, only two players listed as “transferring” (code for in portal) still showing on website Verbal Commits are Lander and Geronimo. That is a recent change in that Race and Aarman are no longer listed. Not sayin’, just sayin’ Edited April 1, 2021 by Fundamentals 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow...if everyone but those two changed their mind fo stay overnight, then that was quite the recruiting job by Woodson. I think Geronimo would be the toughest of these two to retain based on what we have heard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, and that's a really nice core to build around, especially in a year where you can almost plug and play with the transfer portal.

Obviously comparing an NBA bench and college bench are apples to oranges, but does anyone know how he has used his rotations in the past? Does he ride or die with 7 or 8, or use more? admittedly i don't watch the NBA, but they play a good 10 good minutes regularly don't they? it's another thing i think i hate about the NBA, but i could be wrong. those guys need their nights off and load management, etc, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
