Personally I think a lot of the "play fast" stuff is wishful thinking by the fans. Fans who were tired of Cronin now just want the complete opposite, regardless of if it works. Teams that play fast...

If Moore is going to get virtually no minutes, why is he still here? Moore provides value as a veteran and as a solid defender who can guard positions 1-4. If his shot starts falling, his ability...

I agree with your tier one, but the only one I'd drop Harvey and Sorolla from tier two and replace them with Moore and Prince.

I think Moore is going to get more minutes then a lot of people are...

I think it's getting to the point where it might not matter for this year if he does come. He's already missed close to a months worth of team practices. If he misses the whole summer practice...

I agree, but I can see the concern about bad optics as well. Harvey was charged for a crime I'd guess many (if not most) teenage men have committed. He got unlucky in that he got caught and the...

Yeah, especially with the extended three point line. I imagine the game plan for opposing defenses will be make someone other than the Cumberlands beat you.

None of our other players are proven...

It may be a while before we can tell what Brannen wants for his system. Cronin's main three were strength, length and athleticism, though he deviated now and then.

Brannen seems to prefer speed...

Don't know how much he has improved during his RS year. I'd say his mold is similar to (though of course nowhere near the same level) Draymond Green. Based on highlight videos he looks like a long,...

But we can't play an entire game with 2 bigs. With only 3 of them, they are going to have to rest at some point (and that's not mentioning foul trouble).

Teams like Ohio State (Kaleb Wesson who...

Yeah, Houston was maybe even smaller. It's all about having a guard or two who can rebound. Houston and Armoni Brooks who averaged over 5 per game, UC with Gates had JaQuan Parker over 5 per game...

I don't think a traditional back to the basket big is needed. But, some size is needed for defensive and rebounding purposes. If we have Scott start at the 5 (which is looking increasingly likely...

Hardnett looked very similar to the Tre Scott mold. A guy who can shoot a little and can jump. Only he has a better ability to handle the basketball.

He can't shoot as well as our wings, but I...

I'm not really seeing the versatile wings and stretch 4's. Hardnett looked like he had the potential to be a very good stretch 4.

Brannen seems to be recruiting like he doesn't care about...

The lack of size and our unproven centers are the biggest concerns to me. We've had undersized teams before, but those teams had tough guards who played bigger than their size.

Jarron could be...

Yeah, nothing substantial. May be that people see he was a 2019 guy, don't see he reclassified and assume he will be 2019. I haven't really seen anything from local insiders about Harvey yet.

Rumor is he is going to reclassify back to 2019. Right now it seems like everything is just speculation though. The ideal would be to have Harvey commit as a 2020 recruit.

Pushing out a player this late in the year would be a terrible look. If you don't want a guy, you let him know in April. You don't keep him around and tell him you want him, then push him out when...

I'd say Jenifer to McNeal/MAW is more than a slight downgrade in terms of experience and shooting.

Jaevin I'd say is an upgrade over Broome at least when Jarron is also on the floor. His...

I'm with the McNeal isn't starting squad. Even if McNeal started Jarron would have to play some PG minutes. McNeal just doesn't look like a starter compared to Jaevin/Williams.

If you rotate those three and they only play SG/SF, it means they will average at most a 26.66 minutes per game - assuming Jarron is above 30 minutes, the other two would average 25 or less. I don't...

I can't see it. You want your best players on the floor. Say you have McNeal starting at point, that means we'd need to have JC/JC at SG/SF, Williams at PF and Scott at center. That is an...

Assuming we get Jaevin and Sorolla, which is a pretty big assumption (if Jaevin was coming I think he would have committed by now, and I'm hoping we find a better C than Sorolla). I'm not convinced...
