RAPID REACTION - Indiana

[RAC’emUp]

Why in the world would we want to carry 7 guards and 3 forwards, one of whom is about 6’4.?

There is no automatic that Ru goes 6-0 vs bottom schools

It’s not automatic that we will go 0-14 against the other teams. We are much improved versus last year on paper and have a great home court, but we won’t know until we play the games.

Mods said they thinks they have $2M left and sounds like Zinn can get more for the right guard prospect. It was confirmed that they offered $800K for the kid that went to Pitt so assuming that's the backup C budget that leaves $1.2M+ for a starting guard.

I hope that’s not the plan. I honestly don’t see $1.2M getting us a “stud” PG. The best guys are already committed and the ones not who are difference makers will go for way more than that. Roll with what we have and hope Lino makes strides in the off seasons. I’m bullish on him.

If we have $2M left, it should be spent on 3 guys with length who are physical and play good defense. We didn’t have to worry about downgrading the D with our portal pick ups since it’d be hard to be worse than Grant, Zrno, etc. But to improve on D, we need more enhancement than we’ve added so far on that end.
