The scholarship/roster spot distinction is no longer meaningful post-House. He consumed a roster spot, as does Hurlburt (okay, Hurlburt’s spot might be free because of the walkon roster spot exemption, but I’m not sure).
That tracks, thanks for the reminder.

I guess I am more bullish on West/Reid/Clayton/Gelo/Windham?? as a returning backcourt than you are. The missing piece is the sniper to alleviate our spacing issues, but it seems like Reid and West have it in them to at least be plus from outside. The shooter was obviously the role we thought Windham was filling so that mystery needs a resolution to determine needs.

I like West. I don’t expect any of the rest to be a good starting backcourt player next year and we need at least one really really good backcourt player next year before we even start talking about replacing Martinelli

Bro you really need to get a life.
It will be a long time before NU gets a center with Page's skills again. I hope Page, Reid and Wyndham are back and the staff can make adjustments to utilize their abilities. Take advantage of Page's passing skills and keep him in the same zip code of the basket on defense. Give Wyndham some extended runs at the 2 to restore his confidence. Give Reid minutes at the 2 with West.
My current starting lineup would be West, Wyndham, Singleton, Page and Martinelli with Gelo and Kropp as front court reserves and Reid as the first guard off the bench.Mullins, Clayton and Hall would be situational subs

Against Washington , NU cut a 19 point deficit to single digits behind the play of Page, CC then removed Page and the comeback ended although the matador defense of Diallo also contributed

Page as a backup who gets substantial minutes in the right matchups has revitalized his production quite a bit.

You either forgot or were not a fan or were not alive during the KON era then. Nobody HAS to score.
LOL I was there. And I remember the 6 point half against Illinois during the Carmody years. But the game has more offense now. So yes someone has to score.

And you need to stop kissing *** to guys who play like ****.
lol for real, man - get a more demanding job, get a wife, have some kids, pick up a new hobby. You’re too old to be investing so much into a team that will never know you’re alive. It was fine when we were kids, but you’re a grown a** man now and it’s kinda sad. You should have way more going on - but instead you’re rushing here to rage post every game. Get your ish together.

Part of it is that Paige is not really a center. He plays more as a 3/4. He has a lot of skills, But we are a very young team and even starting 3 Frosh and the teams we face are much more physically mature

It’s a message board, bro. It’s ok to blow off some steam. It’s sports. It’s all a distraction and ultimately meaningless big picture. Relax.
