With JBo coming back into the fold next year do you foresee Toussaint having issues going back to the bench? If the rules do change allowing players to transfer without sitting out I'd hate to see Toussaint take the demotion as an insult and seek a transfer. Thanks.

My NBA watching started late 90's so my answers will reflect that. Right off the bat I'm thinking Mehmet Okur. He was huge in Detroits run to the title. Brad Miller for the Sacramento Kings is another.Alonzo Mourning came off the bench for the Heat when Shaq was there. This was an interesting...

If JBo is out I think Evelyn starts alongside CMac to begin the year. We'll see if Fredrick takes over at some point but I really like the potential of Evelyn.

I don't understand all the hate for CMac. There's a reason why he closed out a lot of games over Moss. He's a solid player. He just finished his freshman year and is only going to improve.

I'd be shocked if he came here. He's looking for greener pastures.

At what point do you sacrifice some shooting/size, an area we are not lacking in, for more defense, our main deficiency?

I wish Nunge would have redshirted. Redshirting him would have simplified the rotation. He's just not ready for B1G. Throwing him out there to guard guys like Bates-Diop is silly. Wagner and even Uhl are better options at this point merely because they can defend these athletic wings.

I can't agree more and to make matters worse one of our most athletic/versatile players hardly sees the court. If there was ever a game Wagner could be of use this was it. I don't get it. I thought Fran was loyal to his players?

We need to see what we have in Dailey. I think Moss will find his game but at this point Brady should not be playing over Dailey.

I love Fran's passion but I do think he needs to choose his battles a little more wisely. At that point in the game, momentum starting to shift, a technical is counterproductive. I'd much rather see a timeout and see him challenge the players rather than the refs.

It seems like Maryland is getting overlooked. I think Huerter will be one of the biggest surprises this year, he's got all the tools to be a 15/5/5 player.

I'm hoping for Wagner over Baer. I just think he brings more defensive versatility. I look at it like, would you rather have Baer or Ahmad matched up against Miles Bridges?

Wagner is probably our best offensive rebounder and not to mention one of the strongest SOBs in the B1G. His versatility on defense alone makes him very valuable.

1. Cook 2. JBo 3. Baer 4. Moss 5. Pemsl 6. Garza- Might be reaching here but Garza should be able to impact the game immediately. 7. Wagner 8. Ellingson 9. Kreiner 10. Uhl 11. Williams 12. Nunge- On potential he'd be top 5 but needs time. 13. Dailey- He could certainly jump up this list but...

He's by no means a loser but it looked like JB struggled a little. Based off box scores I'd guess his 3pt % was around 30.

I'm flip flopping again with the frontcourt. Garza right now looks to be the best option playing alongside Cook. With him in the lineup I think we'll see Cook drive a whole lot more.

I'm starting to wonder whether redshirting a guy like Nunge might set up a vulture scenario his grad transfer year. We saw this last year with Syracuse and Nebraska and I realize Nebraska isn't the most stable of programs but you never know. The one and done rule is definitely going away so...

I feel like in order to get these good players to commit Fran may have to promise them no redshirt. I could be way off here but guys are so quick to transfer now and fail to see the positives of a redshirt year.

I wonder if Fran ever discussed the possibility of a redshirt with Garza or Nunge and if so were they receptive of the idea. Kriener looks poised to break out this year and I'd hate to see a season wasted much like Dailey last year.

I've been all over the place trying to predict a starting frontcourt but I think you may be on to something with your statement on the difficulty of keeping Kriener out of the starting lineup. I think the team would benefit the most with Cook playing mostly at the 4 and IMO Kriener is our best...
