UCONN isn't losing because of their 6th, 7th and 8th men. There's a big difference between having a Harlond Beverly on the floor (a guy who is a starter at a Wichita State) and a Djobet or Ronbinson on the floor.

Exactly you need to be able to have an 8 man rotation. Bama showed last night they have been able to go further than 8 deep. Diaboute was their 10th man going into the season but got minutes due to injuries during the year and played pretty well in a sweet 16 game last night. Omier (if he...

What's your point? Yes we had a quality 8 man rotation, Beverly and Joseph were high quality subs as well as a starting 5 that fit perfectly together. We had 4 really good players this past year without depth and look what happened.

Look at the teams this year in the Elite 8 so far and you will see very good depth on all those teams so far. Bama has multiple players on the bench who were starters at other programs and have very good depth in addition to having 4 All Conference type players. Illinois had the depth...

McGusty was a top 50 player coming out of HS. He averaged nearly 11 points as a Fresh at Oklahoma, and averaged 8 in only 18.5 minutes a game as a sophomore at OK. He was an intriguing prospect coming in. I remember most people having hope that McGusty would become a top player in the ACC...

We would be in very good shape, but there aren't many players out there who can make the impact of Omier in the portal. Those 4 players also will not get us back to playing in the 2nd weekend of the tournament alone unless the freshmen are significant contributors. With those 4 we still need a...

I agree with this entire post but I can also see where a few other posters are coming from. If this kid is getting a significant portion of the NIL money allocated for the team then where are we going to get our #1 option and even our 2 or 3 options. Pack in a perfect world is your 3rd option...

If this is the top portal signing this year, I can see why some might consider it a bit of a disappointment. Even with Pack back, Bethea and the 2 other incoming freshmen we still need at least 4 other rotation type players whether that is some combination of Omier, Cleveland, Wooga, George and...

We need to have versatility in our lineup. The last 2 year's we have been too one dimensional with our lineups. We haven't had the ability to matchup with bigger guards, with 2 bigs, etc. This is a guy who played 23 minutes a game for VT last year, I doubt he is looking to be the go to guy...
