We need a high motor, athletic guy. Think Justin Gage. No, he's not going to average 8 points per night, but he might pull down 4 boards a night, average 4 points, and swat a few shots away. That's a great contribution from a freshman.

it would be hard for them to be worse - Doc Stone MU

- 7/21 17:45:56

So is Jackson just going to be Allen reincarnated? - StaleyTiger MU - 7/21 16:23:51

That would be a worst case scenario - MUIntensity USA - 7/21 16:28:07

I always thought he was one of the few players who cared - StaleyTiger MU - 7/21 16:34:28

the biggest difference is that in 2 years of college - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/21 16:41:40

Sorry to single a player out - cal MU - 7/21 16:04:14

He is a D1 player. Just not a high-major D1 player.(nm) - tgr MU

- 7/21 16:05:57

yes, he's great against the mid-majors. Useless against P5 - MUIntensity USA - 7/21 16:07:34

That isn't good news - FIJItiger MU

- 7/21 14:56:47

Van Leer is starting? - MakeShift MU - 7/21 16:35:02

Matter didn't actually think he would start - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/21 16:39:31

That's good news re Jackson - MUIntensity USA - 7/21 16:03:45

I like Justin Gage, and to some degree I agree this team - FIJItiger MU

- 7/21 16:08:30

And Jackson is much much better than Gage - Mr. Orange SU - 7/21 16:21:00

I'm not expecting anything they are freshmen. I also - SabertoothTiger MU - 7/21 15:43:47

Basically our entire team is either freshman or sophomores - FIJItiger MU

- 7/21 15:51:36

so that expected. We've known this for months. We've - SabertoothTiger MU - 7/21 15:55:16

My expectations, assuming we are good - FIJItiger MU

- 7/21 15:59:18

Dixon was a great 6th man - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/21 16:05:42

ha ha ha. You are just setting yourself up for failure - SabertoothTiger MU - 7/21 16:02:03

Who is expecting freshmen to come in and - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/21 15:13:59

This team won't be successful without at least one - tgr MU

- 7/21 15:21:21

What's your definition of significant? - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/21 15:26:42

6 or 7 a game is what I consider significant for a freshman. - tgr MU

- 7/21 15:32:28

The defense was worse than the offense last year - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/21 15:37:09

Freshmen usually aren't very good defensively so to expect - tgr MU

- 7/21 15:46:03

experience usually helps with defense - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/21 15:54:15

That still leaves probably half of the minutes to be played - tgr MU

- 7/21 15:58:50

Mediocre would be an improvement from last year - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/21 16:11:29

It will be impossible, we have no frontcourt and we have - FIJItiger MU

- 7/21 16:01:47

this is true especially freshman bigs. They'll be hacking - SabertoothTiger MU - 7/21 15:52:12

I doubt that's a concern - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/21 15:56:08

I don't think it is either. Its the way it is for freshman - SabertoothTiger MU - 7/21 15:59:04

Being Pitino was even interested proves the kid can play. I - Uncle John MU

- 7/21 15:20:35

And the fact that Rick let him out of his LOI without a - StaleyTiger MU - 7/21 15:22:30

That's fine, we are no where close to Louisville so he will - Uncle John MU

- 7/21 15:24:25

I'd bet money that he won't contribute anywhere near what - StaleyTiger MU - 7/21 15:25:47

Wright was a worthless piece of crap.(nm) - Uncle John MU

- 7/21 15:30:49

Hughes has better fundamentals on his shot than - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/21 15:29:16

They said Wright had a pure shot when he came in too. - StaleyTiger MU - 7/21 15:32:29

Who said he would, hopefully he's not a thug.(nm) - Uncle John MU

- 7/21 15:36:08

Wright was never known on the recruiting - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/21 15:35:04

RE: Good stuff from matter - Bangin3s MU - 7/21 15:06:52

Hopefully they don't get frustrated/discouraged when faced - FIJItiger MU

- 7/21 15:15:21

RE: Hopefully they don't get frustrated/discouraged when faced - Tigerfem MU - 7/21 21:12:16

The problem is that we are once again going to be relying - tgr MU

- 7/21 15:10:19

No, its how you slowly build back a program - MUIntensity USA - 7/21 15:59:45

This whole made up narrative about how the players we have - StaleyTiger MU - 7/21 16:10:32

No, i'm basing it on what I've seen from TP, KP, KJ and CVL - MUIntensity USA - 7/21 16:17:21

What have you witnessed that tells you about their attitude? - StaleyTiger MU - 7/21 16:27:18

Matter pointed out the vibe and leadership - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/21 16:43:23

Even if he was/is our best player, I predicted early that - Evenflow MU - 7/21 15:00:12

45 points a game is still a possibility with this group I am - catbirdseat MU

- 7/21 15:03:44

They will average 70+ a game - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/21 15:16:54

The returning players shot 41% from the field last year. - tgr MU

- 7/21 15:43:43

Gant and Rosburg are big losses - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/21 15:50:37

RE: Gant and Rosburg are big losses - Tgrweir MU - 7/22 07:05:32

So where do you get 70? - catbirdseat MU
