I've seen us in a ton of WTE top 25. We have a lot of good pieces already locked in for next year, which is more than most teams can say.

Is he in the portal? That wasn't reported.

He didn't look like a day 1 starter last night

5 ACC schools and 1 SEC school. Not a great sign that he released a top 6 after his visit here.

It seems disingenuous because this is what fans have been clamoring for since the final whistle blew against UConn. Yes, the spacing is going to get a little more cramped. That's the tradeoff. We're also going to dominate the glass at both ends. And if Omier takes another step forward as a...

It's hard to tell if you're making a good faith argument, or are so entrenched in your priors that you've lost whatever point you're trying to make. Omier was in no way a stretch 5 last year, and was extremely effective even at 6' 5". Acting like he's your typical overmatched undersized 4 is...

No, it's not easy. But he has already taken a big step forward. You're talking about him like he's Anthony Walker or Harland Beverly. It's not reasonable to expect guys that have not shown anything from outside (or from the line) to suddenly become a shooting threat. It's an entirely different...

I think he'll struggle to guard quicker 4s. But I think we'd dominate the glass with Omier at the 4. He also greatly improved as a shooter last year and has always had good touch at the line, so I'm not worried about that part.

How is that cognitive dissonance? Obviously, more good players > fewer good players. But teams generally win if their few good players are really good. 5 players scored for Purdue yesterday; 6 for Alabama on Saturday; 7 for NC St yesterday. The reason we stunk this year wasn't because our bench...

Izundu was really good his senior season lol you're not helping your case. You're not the only one who watches games, btw. I didn't know about his advanced stats but as soon as he committed, I was very pleased because he's made a huge impact in many games that I've watched. Anyways. Glad...

Cool. How about the other dozen data points Lance provided?

Sure. Those guys are a dime-a-dozen though. If UConn had our bench instead of theirs this season, they're still a top seed and one of the favorites to win it all.

We did NOT have 4 really good players this season. We had 1. Pack was a shell of himself during ACC play, Wooga was ineffective after the injury, and Cleveland was a JAG. None of those guys received even a single vote for postseason ACC honors.

Diaboute was their 8th man last night. He played 9 minutes, scored 2 points, grabbed 1 rebound, went 1-3 from the field, and committed 4 fouls. Almost anyone can give you that level of production. Alabama's performance last night is an argument for star power, not depth.

I just disagree. What stands out about Illinois is not depth. Yes they had better depth than we did. But what stands out is that their top couple of guys are studs and they have decent rotation players after that. This is true even in the NBA. Yes, Bruce Brown was a key contributor to the...

We're watching different games then. UConn isn't winning bc of their 8th guy lol they're winning bc of Clingan, Spencer, Newton, Castle, and Karaban. The guys off the bench are interchangeable pieces

LOL. I just don't understand how someone can watch CBB and say that depth is that important. Obviously it'd be great to have more depth, but the best teams win bc of their stars. Teams that play like FSU are rare (and don't usually win big either)

Am I watching the same CBB that you guys are? The only good teams that I've seen in recent years with waves of quality bench players are FSU and Samford. Basketball is a top-heavy sport, especially in college. If your top 4 are good, you're good. We can piece it together after that. Heck, we...

Your comments on depth are not backed up by CBB's reality. Nobody goes deep into the bench. Even in a 30 point blowout, UConn only had 7 guys play double figure minutes. Bama had 7 guys play 10+. Etc. Unless you completely missed Lance's post, yes, those 4 guys are excellent. -Omier was 2nd...

If our 4 best players are Omier, Kidd, Pack, and Bethea, we are in excellent shape.
