Agree on all points. An athletic PF type would be nice. I'd be interested in Carr out of Delaware. Not the classic springy type we are thinking of but has gotten better and better and has some bounce, length and skill.
Agree…needs to add muscle or at very least strength. The 3 and the 4 for are pretty much the same in our system. I think the main issue will be will he be able to guard?
Horse testosterone will get him where he needs to be
Maybe, don’t necessarily agree, but moving forward with our current personnel they are same
I'm not sure how good our chances of getting Stephens were anyway. But I'm not sure how much getting Quinn adversely affected them. Unless he is adamant about not playing a lot of his minutes at the 4...
Stephens is probably one of the top 10 transfers this season. I don’t think we are on his radar, especially after the Quinn commit. Quinn is probably a top 50 transfer and a great fit here, a really good get by the coaching staff.
No offense, but I truly hope Grace and Quinn are not comparable. 7ft 260 has to be much better than 6’9” 170. By the way, how is Quinn with foul trouble?
played 30 mpg, never fouled out, averaged under 2 fouls per game.
Those who watch the 10-minute online highlight video vs. Rutgers will get an answer regarding Quinn's defense.
I found a 5 minute highlight which shows some good footwork and passing from Quinn. can't get a feel for his defense yet.
True. He needs to put that big body on the teams we play and let them know he owns the lane and basket. Unfortunately not the Mooney defensive philosophy.
🕷️🏀 I like as a big lineup This is what should be our lineup next year. I actually love this team.Lots of combos that we've talked about already, but think of this lineup as our BIG lineup

I just want Crabtree to get real minutes this year. I can feel it — he’s got game that we haven’t seen yet. I’d be okay not adding Funk because of this but I think he helps coming off the bench.
Respectfully disagree, who in that lineup hasn’t played a college game? Do we want Burton at the 4? I don’t at least not a bunch. Am I reading it wrong?
I assume you have Quinn starting at the 2, since he's going to be working on nothing but threes all summer? Think how he will dominate smaller guards...Lots of combos that we've talked about already, but think of this lineup as our BIG lineup

The lineup you posted is fine until you have to go to the bench. There are 80 minutes to fill at the 4/5 spots. What does your lineup look like after five minutes when both Quinn and Grace need to come out for a breather, particularly if you want Burton to say at the 3? That is when you end up with freshman and/or undersized players at those spots. I'd rather go a little smaller than be forced to give Noyes significant time at the 4 or Walz significant time at the 5. That is, unless you have great insider news on those players
yes, I want Burton at the 4.
During the end of year run Mooney only played Golden and Grace at the 5, he still put them on the court together about 7 minutes per game.
Your scenario is a bit more reasonable, but it still has Burton getting the majority of the minutes at the 4. There are some here who don't want him to play at all there. Keep in mind last year when Grace and Golden played together we had Golden, Cayo, and Sal still on the team. We have fewer post players on the roster at this time, so I think Burton/Quinn/Grace all on the floor will be a rare event.
Gotcha…makes more sense. My lineup was simply if we want to go big, that’s it. No insider news, just pondering lineups 😀✊🏼The lineup you posted is fine until you have to go to the bench.

The size is good, but what do the 3 pointers look like? We need to at least come close to matching Jacob at the PG spot from 3. We weren't very good from three last year. We certainly can't afford to be worse from there next year. Hard to win consistently without the 3 ball.Lots of combos that we've talked about already, but think of this lineup as our BIG lineup

It looks pretty good if Quinn & Grace are both going to play more minutes next season than Gilyard did this season...The lineup you posted is fine until you have to go to the bench.
