I think Khaman will start and play a lot.

 

[JimboSlice00]

I think Khaman will start and play a lot.

Absolutely. He and Cooper are going to play and play alot. More for Coop, but we have two special, special freshman.

2 good things about Mal. He runs the floor well, doesn't jog back like Okafor did, and he can shoot the 3.

That's 3 Chris.

 

[Kingbluedevil]

That's 3 Chris.

No 2 runs the floor and don't jog back like Okafor counts as 1

 

[christophero]

I thought about that ha

 

[bullcity gamer]

Very ready for the season to start! Definitely plan on making the drive to Louisville this upcoming season to watch the Blue Devils.

Hearing UNC is the favorite to land Julius Halifonua, a 7 foot 290 monster out of New Zealand. He would be eligible next year, so hopefully they don't land him. Supposed to be decent. He is a 4 star
They and Georgetown are the favorites.

Is this the same one they have been after Chris ? I heard a while back they were looking at him but haven’t heard anything else .

 

[christophero]

They are after 2 guys but this guy is deciding next week.

 

[sheyduke]

I saw a picture of him with his arms at length holding a basketball in each palm . Definitely a big boy .

 

[timo0402]

They are after 2 guys but this guy is deciding next week.

And he can play this upcoming year?

 

[christophero]

He is a reclass so yes. Not sure he would start, but is reportedly skilled and they certainly need another big body.

 

[lakeside420]

Don’t be surprised to see Harris get more minutes than Knup and if Harris only sees mop up minutes he’s gone in 2025 anyway .
How about we wait until preseason and exhibition games .
There are so many pieces players might actually get rest not having to average 35 minutes a game .
As far as the post we have three legit post players to rotate .

Preach

 

[christophero]

Despite being a 6th man last year Gillis has started 63 games for Purdue. That is a lot of experience.

 

[Jamession3]

Fast pace game gives everyone some burn on the floor. This is a good team...at least on paper so far.

 

[bullettoothtony]

I just want us to play fast. With our depth and athleticism, there is no reason why we shouldn't.

Agreed, run, run, run and wear the opponents down

 

[bullettoothtony]

Absolutely. We should be the college football equivalent of the no huddle offense. We would be completely unguardable.

But will it happen remains to be seen .

 

[The Only Blue]

Don't know what this means but everything sounds promising

 

[christophero]

Kon, Harris and Gillis impressed him. May need Cooper at the 4 with all this wing depth.

 

[The Only Blue]

Just saw on IG that Harris went 8-8 from 3 on the scrimmage

Damn.

 

[bullcity gamer]

Ready for the season to start! I will be planning to attend the games in Tucson, Louisville, and the ACC Tournament in Charlotte,

[DukeCorey21]

This team has so much talent, LFG

 

[BOOGIEMAN1914]

Nbongo in a boot?...not last year injury foot?

 

[christophero]

Interesting that Rothstein thinks our starting 5 early on will be Proctor, Kon, Coop, Gillis and Mal. Foster and Brown next 2 up, then Sion I guess.

 

[christophero]

That makes sense, as Brown can get plenty of pt backing up 4 and 5.

 

[DukeCorey21]

Especially if Ngongba is in a boot. Need someone to backup Maluach.

 

[timo0402]

Interesting that Rothstein thinks our starting 5 early on will be Proctor, Kon, Coop, Gillis and Mal. Foster and Brown next 2 up, then Sion I guess.

I saw that. Main takeaway for me was that Gillis (in his opinion) is much farther ahead than Foster, Sion, Evans, and Brown.

I don’t see that happening.

 

[Liftee]

I'm leery of a guy who watches one practice and thinks he knows everything about the team and what Scheyer is thinking. I suspect the 5 guys who play the best defense will start.

 

[Jamession3]

October 19th and November 4th...Plenty time to figure out who are the starting five and 8/9 man rotation. We will still need to make sure that Center position is stable.

 

[christophero]

Big Pat being out makes us a little thin at the 5, esp. if Mal takes time

I was hoping Pat could be a 5-8 minute guy he is a big dude.

Don’t think we are thin at all there and never expected him to play much. It wouldn’t surprise me if he redshirts this year, get healthy and then be the 5 next to Cam Boozer
