PG- Sears, JQ (6th Man)
SG- Estrada, Wrightsell, Cosby
Wing- Griffen, Walters (Not Big Enough For PF), Parker
PF- Nelson (Whenever He Commits), Mo (He's Bigger & Stronger)
C- Pringle
I like it except I'd start Q at point if Estrada doesn't run it. Sears is going to struggle at point. How tall is Griffin now? We pull Nelson and another big and we've got a solid roster.

I don’t love Q and Sears being out there at the same time for defensive reasons. I say:
1. Q
2. Whoever our best defensive guard is
3. Rylan
4. Nelson
5. Pringle
Sears, Walters, Estrada/Wrightsell, and the other freshmen are a great group to take off the bench

Am I missing something? 247 has Nelson listed as official

Kinda in the same boat. I would roll with a JQ/Estrada back court. Sears and Wrightsell would be fine coming off the bench, just prefer JQ and Estrada as primary ball handlers.
Things get weird here at Wing. I have Griffen at a spot and behind him is whichever freshman steps up. We need to add another 4/5 for depth purposes. Just a bit of uncertainty in the front court at the moment, it'll shake out once we get some future practice reports and quotes from Oats, he can go quite a few ways finishing up this roster.

It all depends but I think JQ comes off the bench because of Estrada's ability to handle the point if need be.

There has to be a juco pf/c out there who just rebounds and blocks shots. All we need is about 15 minutes per night. We need to find this diamond in the rough. I’ll take another Jimmie Taylor.

It's a guy in the transfer portal who's really good but he just needs to be developed more and his name is Adrame Diongue!

I like Muoka from UNLV as a fit for this years team.

I hope we go after one of them.

I think JQ has earned the starting PG job, he is by far our most experienced player and has years in this system.
I think Estrada starts at SG, he shot something crazy like 45% on catch and shoot threes, thats really his strength, that and getting to the rim and finishing, so he can play some two or three, and can also handle the ball well, I think he will be at PG when Quinerly isnt most of the time.
I think Rylan starts at the 3, Nelson at the 4, and Pringle at the 5.
Most used players off the bench I think will be 1. Sears 2. Wrightsell 3. Walters 4. Dioubate
I think we could really use a backup center that can protect the rim, hopefully we can get one in the portal.
I would have loved to have Jaykwon Walton on the team, he is really good, hate that he fricked up.
I think we have the makings of a sweet 16 team that could go further if everything clicks. I dont see a glaring weakness in the team except for maybe rim protection.

I gotta see what we look like defensively. Offensively we should be fine, we just don’t have that stud like we had last year in Miller. Can Nelson be that guy at this level? Hopefully. I also think Estrada is the real deal. think defense is where we take the step back though.

I think this team could be better offensively than last years - especially if Wrightsell shoots well and Walters is ready to contribute 8-10 minutes a night. Griffen will be a year older and stronger. Nelson will be an upgrade on offense to Bediako and, if he shoots it relatively well, could make the spacing even better than before.
I also think this team will almost certainly not be as good defensively. Nelson could be an above average defender, but he won't be as good as Bediako. I think Pringle can improve, but he won't be as good as Clowney. JQ improved a lot last year, but he's still a pretty average defender. Same with Sears. From everything I've read Estrada is kind of in that same category. Griffen's development as a defender will certainly be a big deal.
Just can't overstate how incredible of a job Oats did in reshaping this roster in the portal with guys that fit - even with the loss of Bediako and all his assistants. Fantastic work.

It looks like a great roster at this point. Assuming Nelson is to Bama. I still think they need a another big body because I don't trust Pringle not to foul out every game.

Our offense is going to be better next year. Defense won’t be as good but as long as it doesn’t fall to fricking 92nd we should be ok

I hope Mo is back by the season, he’s supposed to be a lock down defender that can defend pretty much any position except maybe center.
Posted on 6/13/23 at 4:45 pm to CrimsonFever
I think he will probably be at 100% by the time practice opens. I had arthroscopic meniscus surgery when I was almost 70 years old and was back to normal in a few months. Given his age and the resources that he will have available for Rehab unless his was a lot worse than mine he should be good to go long before season starts.

I think you are vastly underestimating how good Brandon Miller was and how much better he made everybody else. We should still be good but come on.
