I think there are minutes to be had for Dailey. He will have to earn them but I really like his playing style.

After reading all the comments on the bigs, I am getting fairly excited about the front court. And wondering where the minutes will be going. Then I remember one guy who is missing, that will contribute significantly next year - Pemsl. Love that guy's game. Front court should be badass. We will be able to take on anyone's front court in the country. As long as the defense is there... That is our ?
Like the notes on Dailey. I am a believer in Maishe. We need another backcourt player to really emerge and take some major minutes. Hope he has what it takes!

If Moss make a jump in consistency in his So year, and Dailey can do even what Moss did as a Fr., then I am way more excited for this year. My biggest concern is the SG/Wing spot when Baer isn't on the floor (I think Baer will be the main Wing). That would leave Ellingson as getting spot minutes and that would be ideal.
Our depth in the front court is going to be ridiculous. Hopefully Fran will lay down the law and say if you aren't playing hard tough nosed D, someone else will and you will ride the pine. The D our bigs played last year was soft and one of our biggest weaknesses.

Don't forget about Kriener. Cook, Kriener, Pemsl, Garza and Nunge (who can play the wing also) is full of potential. I'll say that Nunge looks bigger than 180 and he looks taller than 6'-9". He looks closer to 6'-10/11". the 2018-19 season could be a really good one.

He is 6'10 or 6'11 and 220 lbs. That is what he says he is.
Hearing that he played hurt all of last year and is more athletic than he showed has me even more excited for Pemsl.

Yep, Kriener can play and will only be better than the minutes he got last year. He can score and isn't afraid to bang down low with the bigs. I'm starting to wonder if Wagner isn't the odd man out? Good athlete, but just a little undersized and not a shooter, makes him pretty limited on what he can do. Just might not be enough minutes to go around unless Fran decides its best to redshirt a guy.
Kriener is as much a reason why I think Uhls mins will be few and far between as either of the new two freshman coming in. They can all put the ball in the basket. Uhl unless he's wide open struggles. And even then he's no sure thing anymore. I love Krieners game and there's so much competition for front court mins on this team now I don't see how Uhl will factor in much

Even if Uhl is not in the rotation you still have Cook, Wagner, Pemsl, Kreiner, Nunge and Garza for the 4/5 spots. I didn't even include Baer as I imagine most of his time will be at the 3.
How they divide up Joks mins will be interesting. I'd read an article where they thought Ellingson would start... I don't see that at all. I just don't. We'll see a big lineup with JBo Moss, Cook, and pick your other two bigs. If any other 'smaller' player is to start it'll be Baer not Ellingson. But I could see him coming off the bench again too that wouldn't surprise me either.

If I had to guess a starting lineup...
JBo
Moss
Baer
Wagner
Cook
Personally, I would prefer Cook to play alongside another shooter at the other big...
JBo
Moss
Baer
Cook
Kriener/Garza or Nunge (if it were to be Nunge, Cook would be the 5)
I'm not suggesting that if Uhl isn't playing much that that'd be a bad thing at all either. I just feel bad for him in a way cause he's getting leap frogged big time. But so goes the way of the world. You just rattled off 7 guys I'd rather see in the game than him and I've hardly seen either of the freshman so far... Uhl I doubt will have a significant role on this team at all
Even if Wagner starts your looking at 3 guys that can hit 3s. 4 if he Cook improves and maybe shoots more. If Wagner isn't starting there could be 5 guys out there that can shoot outside. Just imagine all the pick and roll possibilities with that 2nd lineup you put out there....
I understand what you're saying but I don't see it. Fran can't play every scholarship player and Dailey seems like he's on the outside looking in with who's ahead of him

Then having an (almost) 7' ftr who has that kind of handles and range could be like Brad LoHaus 2.0. He could become a huge weapon; particularly, since he didn't look shy banging down low. only time will tell how much weight he can put on, but 230 would make him effective down low.
Me either. It's a numbers game. Williams, Ellingson and Baer sometimes will be playing the 2 off the bench before Dailey would. That sure doesn't leave much time. Especially if Moss is playing well and close to 30 mins a game.
