Prelim 8-man Rotation next season: (Sorry, but Thurs is a LONG way off.)

SinkingQuffa Intervention Needed

Mar 18, 11:47am

lol no way is Aly redshirting

cougfan03

Mar 18, 11:50am

His knee might not give him a choice.

SinkingQuffa

Mar 18, 11:51am

What do you know about his knee? Curious because I have no info

Plato

It's gonna require surgery. And Aly is the type of athlete who needs at least a full offseason to remake himself.

SinkingQuffa

Mar 18, 12:04pm

I love the idea of redshirting RMs, but won't happen w/out injuries

runnincoug

I think he'll play too. He might have a tough time cracking the rotation though. At least to start.

SinkingQuffa

Coming home 2 transfers early will help Chandler a ton in getting back in

Bluforever

He could definitely be a difference-maker if he can get back.

SinkingQuffa

Mar 18, 12:06pm

He won’t be better than the experienced guys next year.

Bluforever

Mar 18, 12:08pm

Probably not. But he will be our best athlete in the backcourt. And our only true PG besides Dallin.

SinkingQuffa

Mar 18, 12:15pm

Huh? He’s NEVER played PG. you’re asking too much.

Bluforever

Mar 18, 12:21pm

He actually did a lot of it in AAU.

SinkingQuffa

Mar 18, 12:25pm

He was PG is HS too. Primary ball handler, etc.

Plato

Mar 18, 12:44pm

Baker won’t start over Richie. Richie is too good at both ends.

marinact

Mar 18, 11:55am

I think Richie's more likely to start over Noah at the 3 than Baker at the 2. Baker's a shooter, scorer & ball-handler.

SinkingQuffa

Mar 18, 11:59am

Noah will not start at the 3. That would be an awful defensive team.

Plato

Mar 18, 12:03pm

Couldn't disagree more.

SinkingQuffa

Mar 18, 12:04pm

What have you seen this year that makes you think Noah can regularly guard 3s?

dwhitebud

Mar 18, 12:08pm

His lateral quickness is very good for 6'11. His lack of explosiveness limits him in the paint, though.

SinkingQuffa

Mar 18, 12:10pm

Sure, but all that said I think Noah is pretty exclusively a 4.

dwhitebud

Mar 18, 12:18pm

He's actually not an ideal 4. It's one of our biggest personnel weaknesses headed into the Dance.

SinkingQuffa

Mar 18, 12:22pm

Give me one good reason.

dwhitebud

Mar 18, 12:38pm

Noah & Marcus both have 3-4 versatility to them, but only one is good at the rim

SinkingQuffa

Mar 18, 12:45pm

Just bookmark this and we'll quit arguing.

dwhitebud

Mar 18, 12:54pm

Fair enough.

SinkingQuffa

Mar 18, 12:58pm

Noah is a 4 and that’s where he will play.

Bluforever

Mar 18, 12:09pm

Mismatches will be easier to find for him on the perimeter, as valiantly as he's defended the paint this season.

SinkingQuffa

Mar 18, 12:12pm

If Pope doesn't think he's a 4 or 5 next year, he doesn't get offered a 5th yr

Plato

Mar 18, 12:43pm

Or, another take: Pope first talked about fighting for Noah's waiver late last season

SinkingQuffa

Mar 18, 1:05pm

Redshirt Aly?? What?

coug719

Mar 18, 12:09pm

If we all loved each other the way SQ loves the redshirt concept, we'd all have

Mitty

Mar 18, 12:10pm

Or the guys who have yet to play. If I only read him, I’d think Adams would win

Bluforever

Mar 18, 12:16pm

Hyperbole aside, you don't wish we had a true 4 to lean on in the paint headed into the Dance?

SinkingQuffa

Mar 18, 12:20pm

Well Fous is more or less a 4 in the paint. He just doesn’t have skills to go

Bluforever

Mar 18, 12:26pm

Position-competence is of course more about defense than offense. I know they tried to slim & condition Fouss

SinkingQuffa

Mar 18, 12:37pm

Forgot Davis isn't mission-bound. It'll be interesting where he fits, cuz he does have immediate-play written on him.

SinkingQuffa

Mar 18, 1:44pm

Here's what I think if Marcus is here...
