You can never have too many good players but there is only one ball. Will be fun to watch

This frees up Molinar to play a lot more 2.

Really liked what I've seen so far. If Rocket is as good as expected, I don't know how we get minutes for everyone. We are really deep.

Hard to believe where we were when Rick Ray was here. Unbelievable compared to now.

Cam Carter and Shakeel Moore are both playing good right now, it's hard to sit one of them but Rocket is a really good player too. Of course Molinar is going to start, Howland is going to have to figure out his rotation. And Tolu isn't even back yet... good problem to have

Going to end up playing a lot of small ball or we are going to have a good guard sitting the bench.

All I know, is this team has more potential to win than any we have had in decades.

There will be a good guard on the bench at times. It is what it is. However, This also gives us the ability to match-up with anybody we play and also to be able to overcome foul trouble.

I'm trying to figure out how we are only 15.5 favorites at home tonight versus an 0-2 team who has not played good competition in those 2 games.

Any insight?

It 's lot better to have a problem , having really good players and wondering now how I am going to set up my rotations with them than not have good players and depth and scratch your head on what to do. When you have so many good player who all want to play and/or start you may have a few who don't like that situation and put themselves in the transfer portal but it is what is. I will take the really good players every day of the week.

Rocket is a 2 and won't free Molinar up to play that position...Moore will be the primary backup at the 1. Howland has already said that Molinar will have to play at the 1 at the next level due to his size, so that is where he will spend most of his time. There is gonna be several good guards on the bench at any given time.

Most of Howlands Gaurds can interchange between the 1 and 2... Q, Nick, Tyson, Newman, Sword all played both positions.

Just repeating what Howland himself has said himself several times recently....

Not sure what you are implying here but I haven't heard Howland say this recently... most College teams can interchange their 1-3 positions. In college those 3 positions can typically be switched out, especially your 1 and 2 guys, just look at the Men's Baylor team last year who won it all......all of Stansbury's gaurds did the same. Zimmerman, Bowers, Jamont Gordon, Phil Turner, Barry Stewart, Richard/Reginald Delk, Dee Bost, Ben Hansbrough, Jalen Steele, Jamal Edmonson even Winsome Frazier and Dietric Slater did at times when we had injuries. All of those guys switched between the 1 and 2 (some the 3) throughout their career.

So, what happened to him? Anyone know? Sure he had some injuries but they must've been pretty severe for him to be out as long as he was.
