Lino/Powers/Hrno

That doesn’t sound right. I think Zrno got more.


Cool. I’ll swap Grant for either one of the CC forwards (just throwing out an example). Save several hundred thousand and it will probably be an upgrade. That need is an example of a spot we can afford to take a chance on a low major stepping up.

We can afford to do this at positions where the defense can’t get any worse and the offense provided is only complementary. We cannot afford to take a chance on letting our one proven go to scorer leave because our only chance of landing another one will be hoping to hit on another unicorn. And yes - Tariq is a unicorn in that it is EXTREMELY rare that a player transferring up from the American East to the BIg becomes more efficient. It’s that or hoping our own or portal transfer role players step up and make major strides.

Yeah, while I always want kids back to see them grow, Grant is a spot that can easily be upgraded

Lino Mark definitely didn’t show his shooting ability at the beginning of this year. However, he shot 48% from the field in high school and almost 40% from 3. He is also incredibly fast and is learning to use fakes much better. As he grows more used to college basketball, he is probably going to become incredibly difficult to guard. Would love to see him stay because he is fun to watch and will likely become a star!

maybe. Maybe not

And to be fair - even though i see more potential in powers - he is far from a sure thing as far as being a future star

So none of the freshman are “must keeps”

Sure - some have potential so keeping Lino and powers (and Zrno) would be fine provided: (1) the $ is reasonable and (2) we bring in some proven talent at key positions
