Why? It’s conversation.
Because it seems every thread you start is a subtle, or sometimes not so subtle, criticism of the team, a player, or the coach. These thread headings are seen by people connected to the team and they might paint a false picture of the fan base. If you want to give your opinion, that's fine, but add it to an existing thread.

I’m going to say there’s a 51 percent chance Caleb and Spencer come off the bench and Simpson and Hyatt start. That doesn’t mean the latter will play the most minutes by any means

Not happening, but it would be nice if Simpson had the opportunity to play 25ish minutes in a conference game.

There wont be starting lineup changes

There could be some minutes tweaks with Hyatt seeing more and if the game gets comfortable a bit more from Wolf, Derek, and Reiber

Simpson is not ready for prime time.....He already tries to do more, at times, than he should....if you made him a starter I fear too many unforced errors......which we already had too many last game...

If you look at the way recruiting is going, barring injuries or illness, Simpson will never be a starter.

I'm gonna say it again: some guys prefer coming off the bench and play better that way. Spencer is a SHOOTER. He hits 1 early and he'll be fine.

There will be NO lineup changes on Weds.

Simpson hit one basket yesterday and you want to move him to the starting line up. Really? He’s a good transition player. Iowa doesn’t defend transition well. This was a good match up for him not to be terrible. He succeeded in that respect and still only saw 12 minutes from Pike. And you predict next game he moves to starter?

He’s not better than Caleb at one single thing other than possibly beating someone down the floor in transition at this point. That doesn’t earn him a starting spot.

I'm not so sure about that....
If Paul comes back, not next year
The next year, competing with Davis and Warren and possibly Harper or whoever else they recruit/transfer in
The year after that, Davis/Warren and whoever else gets recruited
Not a sure thing, but if the trajectory continues, Simpson is a bench player AND that's a good thing, it means the guys starting are better than him. Simpson as a JR/SR as our 3rd or 4th guard means we're really good.

I doubt there will be any changes in our starting lineup on Wednesday. Coach usually likes sticking with his veterans who have a lot of experience. Hyatt doesn't care if he starts or comes off the bench. He has been wonderful off the bench in our last two games. He wasn't quite a hundred percent for a couple games before that because he was a little under the weather. Simpson will have three more years to have a shot at starting. He is very quick and he is an important part of our rotation this season in his first year. All of our guys are contributing and seem happy. They all get along so well. We just need to come prepared on Wednesday to get a game in the win column.

How about a lineup change here and returning Lou from this board
Whatever happened to free speech?? It’s not like it’s THAT outrageous of a suggestion and the odds are essentially 50/50.
I’ll make everyone a deal - if one of them starts, I’ll create a crow thread for all who love to attack me. If not, I will not start a new thread for two weeks.
