Opening Night Lineup - Just for fun

think BB said during the game that "the plan" is for the freshmen to redshirt, but that can change depending on need. or did I hear that wrong?

Tanner is showing you can go from essentially redshirting to day-one starter the next season. Not sure if that impacts the current freshmen’s redshirt decision or not.

Yeah fair to think it did because so recent and right here at UR.

Overall tho it's probably an anomaly both here and other places to do that. It's 1 reason I was a little skeptical Tanner would win that starting spot.

redshirting also allows Robinson/McGlothin 2 years between them and Tanner, with no one in the class above them at their position.

McGlothin yes but not sure I really see Robinson and Tanner competing for minutes or position. I hate to use 3 vs. 4 in positionless basketball! Granted none of us has seen them play in live comp so hard to say.
 
I possibly have some history of overvaluing incoming players :D, but I still think both of these freshmen will be really good.
I think we're loaded at forward next year with them plus AP and Tanner. plus whichever of our 6'10" guys plays some at big forward.

the key will be if we properly replace the guard production of Hunt and White. Tyne and GW3 are a good start, but the 3 incoming freshmen next year are huge. if they're good early, our roster is built to be strong for a few years.

And, always a good chance at getting a real good guard in the portal. We have a lot of evidence of transfer guards doing great for us and should continue to be an attractive transfer spot.

Yes, we will need a good guard from the portal next year. You don't have a roster full of experienced players and let a true freshman PG run the show.

I expect Tyne to run the show next year. coaches are really high on him for this season.
