I agree that the worry is more at the 5 than PG. Sturdivant showed enough and Smith going deep in the U18 tryouts says we have legit current talent there. Not Jose level yet but legit. The question for the 5 is what do we need from them to be successful and I would place the bar sort of low...

Legit game for sure. Benefits of winning the tourney I expect

Christov beat me to it. The upper level European teams and other leagues (China, etc.) scout the summer league as well. I expect Jose is on their radar screen already and I also expect Jose has an "advisor" who is talking to the different overseas leagues. Back to Techster's point. The goal...

I am not worried about the 4. In today's game Usher can do that role well. Moore is a potential option as well. I am more worried about whether one of our younguns at the 5 is up to the role of rim protector and rebounder. Offense is an upside at this point

Saw that - it is impressive for Deivon regardless of whether he makes the 12 man squad or not.

We actually do have an issue in going small on offense - that being teams have shown they can ignore Moore on the perimeter and have their big play a one man zone. Regardless of whether he plays 4 (most likely) or slides to the 5 in a positionless game, he is going to have to improve his...

Check the new AD

There was a lot of press/discussion that this issue with the NIL is exactly what propelled Roy out last year. He didn't like what he saw on the horizon.

I wouldn't give up on Stevens replacing K after a year away from coaching in the front office. But I would expect K will have a ton of input into his replacement - especially given that Duke just hired a fairly young lady to be their AD. Can't see her bucking K on this one and he may well want...

I agree with you that we would be too small but on the other side one of the 3 young uns' is going to have to earn the minutes and not just be given the minutes because they are tall/broad. They are going to need to make a major step forward from what we saw in games last year or we may go too...

Hope you are right about Smith. I haven't seen him play. It would work a lot better with Howard if we could get to the hoop with ease and drop off to him. That would look a lot like last yearl.

My guess/bet is that the staff would like to plug Saba into the Lammers type of role on offense and use him as a distributor and pick/pop guy while Howard is more of a Banks type of player who needs the ball close to the basket. I assume Meka is like Howard in this regard but that remains to be...

I understand your concern - and agree that some of the returning pieces are less experienced/predictable than one might like. But most teams have at least a couple of guys who have to step up well beyond what they did the prior year and/or a talented frosh they have to incorporate. We are not...

When Gaudio got fired from Wake the word was he couldn't keep his mouth shut and pissed people off in the AA. So I guess this shouldn't be surprising.

Not sure how working as an assistant at Indiana gets him closer to a HC gig but if it gets him out of FSU I am all for it.

And we lost a decade for $7 M

Surprised that he has his mom and brother contacting NBA teams. Not totally sure of the rules but I would hope GT/Pastner could help with that. Same with training for the NBA - Garner Road has deep connections with David West - ex NBA player - but in general the facilities are not what you...

He could take undergrad classes and play. While the grad business school might be problematic, I expect they could find some grad classes he could take

I obviously don't have any knowledge of the specifics here, but on the surface if it were "widespread" I would expect a bit more smoke to be popping up from other ex players or other sources. Wouldn't surprise me to hear Brownell is more explicit in his feedback than he probably should be but...

Having watched that interview and several others on Packer/Durham, predictability was not what they were thinking. The view of that interview and their general tone overall is that the portal is going to be a very unpredictable factor in roster management and coaching staffs are going to have...
