BobSaccamanno Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 We’ve got 4 more spots, I believe. Essegian, Power, Malone, and Carlyle. Woody wants to play 10 deep. That’s probably a legit 10 deep rotation. He can shut everyone up about having shooting and dynamic guards. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU still needs another 4 imo. ….I mean he’s coming from NAIA to Div 1….. I don’t think he’s gonna complain about that too much as long as he can get some meaningful minutes and help out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many teams in recent years have legitimately played 10 deep? I do think Woody will keep trying though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one team.....good example. I say this, more-so because the stars need to align to make this happen. One injury and everything is shot to hell. And there is a difference between a steady induction of fresh players getting rotated in over time vs 4-5 new players getting subbed in with in a a 2 minute window, which is more reminiscent to what you'd see in the NBA and is what Woody seemingly would like to do.

That’s probably a legit 10 deep rotation. He can shut everyone up about having shooting and dynamic guards. Some are saying you can’t go ten deep but I think Woody would love to sub out the starting 5 with a bench 5 in mass,. The key to doing so and be effective is the talent gap between your best players and your worst has to be small. You play your best players the most minutes. Not a close enough gap between best and worst in college to make it work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need 'stupid depth' to get close to a platoon substitution in CBB. On top of that you'll need to avoid injuries....so that stupid depth is more like 11-12 deep. And selling that in today's climate of transfers, NIL and the desire for playing time is a tough task. Maybe I'll be proven wrong though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Maedhros Posted April 19 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 19 Myles Rice is back in town, per his Instagram. Good for Rice, because it's Little 500, but good for Kanaan Carlyle who visits this weekend as well. I know Carlyle's been assumed for a while now, but I'll take any good vibes I can get until it's official. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kentucky tried that one year when they had the Harrison twins. It worked with moderate success until there were injuries and certain players struggled or didn't mesh. Cal ended up settling on more of a 7-8 man rotation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bville_Hoosier Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 Nebraska insider on On3 just put a crystal ball in for Essegian to Nebraska. This one is over. Time to move on. So much for it being “done.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
