That complements Reneau more, who gives you very impressive post scoring. (I want Logan back as a big man off the bench who can come in and mix it up and pop from 10-15). I think we need scoring without TJD and presumably JHS. XJ will score some. Reneau can score inside. Bates can tick up. But IMO we need a go to scoring element.

If we got Timberlake at shooting guard and Ledlum as a combo forward, it would be perfect. I realize that’s not a slam dunk but we are going for it. Timberlake brings that tough as nails shooter and Ledlum is productive and can score. And they bring experience and class balance. Maybe add a guy with length to protect the rim and let’s go. I also like the wing from Florida who can’t shoot but who is athletic (name escapes me). Plus others will come into the portal.

I think thats a massive slam dunk, adding those two.. or two players very similar. We can get by with our backup 5 being a rim protector/non offensive threat. I'm also not convinced TG starts next year, but that would be determined by roster make up going into next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my untrained coaching casual observer opinion eye.....Timberlake seems far more athletic and honestly has that bit of moxy that I like to see on the court. Far more confident stroke. If it comes down to either or....I'll take Timberlake all day long. Sheehey vibes for me. And that is a good thing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, let me point out a misconception in the post you quoted. There is a way Malik and Ike can both can play alone in the post and neither be a backup. Neither would play 40 minutes, not even 30. 25 minutes for each totals 50 minutes. That requires them to be on the floor at the same time for only 10 minutes a game, which could be the first 5 of each half. That provides the opportunity to have strong offense at the post for the ENTIRE game. And, that, in turn, creates scoring opportunities on the perimeter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having one of the transfers mentioned also adds a layer of protection should there be an injury. You are asking for trouble to enter the season with only one legit scoring option from the post. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be that there is real interest. And, with Ike losing this entire season to injury, he may be more agreeable to fewer minutes And, it's not like he played TJD level minutes at Wyoming his only healthy year. He averaged 31 MPG that season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
