Basketball roster - going forward

[Dawg61]

Here's a crazy idea. Check on Tyler Adams the big brother and bigger too of the DL stud Fletcher Adams. He's 6'9 270 and was originally committed to Duke but switched and signed with Georgetown because of Robert Kirby. We were his #2. He only played a couple games and then hasn't played since because of a heart ailment but he's still listed on the Hoyas roster. He should have atleast 3 years of eligibility remaining I would think and maybe even four with a MR. Dude was a stud. Maybe he's better now and would like to transfer back home while his little bro goes through his senior season of recruiting. Might be able to get both Adams boys this way.

What an athletic family. Had no idea there was an older brother.

You would think Tyler would be interested in this. I don't think you can recruit player on another team's roster though

Coming from assistant coach Daniels is best post player on team, ndyou is better than expected but no program changer. We're gonna miss borchert next year too.

According to the google machine, it looks like Adams may not even count towards Georgetown's scholarship limit anymore, which suggests that he may be on medical scholarship and his career is over.

Well a Georgetown degree should be a nice backup plan

Is the plan to play him as a stretch 4 then? Or put him at 3 and see if he can draw a mismatch in the post against a man defense?

We're gonna miss the way Borchert can stretch a D because the ****er can shoot- but that's about it. He's not a good man defender and not a real physical player inside.

We'll be better inside next year. Hell, Ware will keep getting better also. He improved alot from last year to this year. Him having more help will be huge as well.

[Dawg61]

Can't a phone call or two have this question answered without breaking any rules? Robert Kirby would know. Just sayin it might be something that even Tyler hasn't considered himself. Would be a hell of an "in" with Fletcher if his big bro is playing basketball for MSU. Can't hurt to check is all.

An overall roster problem is you're looking at 4 guards that are under 6'1 in Ready, Bloodworth, Jacoby, Dunlap. That potentially poses some problems when your SF isn't that big either.

You can play small in college. Your guards have to basically all be scorers, and you'll get hammered on nights that shots aren't falling, but Villanova and I think George Mason both made final fours playing small ball. College basketball has mostly gotten worse since then, so I'd think it'd be even easier now.

[DawgInMemphis]

yeah I know but good Lord thats a small ass line-up and one I really wouldnt want to see

We played with 4 guards not too long ago. Small lineups are effective in certain situations.

[Irondawg]

Small lineups can be effective but they have to be really athletic and be able to push tempo and when MSU was doing it some I think that was when we had Varnado back there to take care of the paint. I'm not sure our roster really lends itself to going small but you never know.

Is black expected to qualify? If so, how much contribution can we expect from him?

[chef dixon]

I'm really high on Dunlap's shooting ability. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say he helps us significantly as soon as he gets on the squad and people will be pleasantly surprised. I'll be here to take flack if he sucks. Being short hasn't kept Ready or Bloodman from getting chances to shoot the ball, in fact all our guys get open looks, we just don't make them. Dunlap is a little taller than both of them, probably a little more similar in height to Barry Stewart or Dee Bost. Doesn't Stewart have our 3 point record or something close to it?

[Dawg61]

If this was football or baseball we'd get every detail we ever wanted. Basketball? Nobody knows shit. From what I can find Black is 6'9 220 and ain't nothing special. 10 points 8 boards in HS type. Probably a good athlete that can't shoot. Just how Ray likes em. Ndoye and Black sound like similar players.

[Irondawg]

I haven't seen anything on his status but I think he's expected to qualify. There's not much out there on him but he's averaging 9 points and 12 boards at IMG. He's probably not an instant impact guy but I think he could earn 10 min or so in certain matchups.

[Irondawg]

The truth is the SEC is so crapy the difference between most teams is ONE player. For example, give us back Hood and how good are we? Not good, but probably NIT good. Take Releford away from Bama, how crappy are they? Take O'Bryant away from LSU how crappy are they? Take Henderson away from OM and they can't even beat us. We simply don't have that one player that can take over a game somehow. We have lots of complimentary pieces, but need a guy who can carry us from time to time.

I think that one player could be just 2 decent ones: guy to knock down open shots so sword can drive and a junk man (rebounds and blocks)

I'd rather take away Summers. Their best game may be a little bit better with Henderson, but the little I've seen them Summers is the best player on their team.

Summers is their best player and every broadcast the announcers are sure to tell ya.
