Some of you are too conditioned to rankings. We need to win games not win message board fans preferences.

I see most of SU’s top targets at guard still in the portal. I still believe we get one.
I don’t think the staff ever thought they could afford to spend a significant portion of funds available on a top tier center. Center from George Mason along with Aussie would be a very solid combination.
Need another bench scorer too. I am not panicking yet.

The wing mentioned visiting yesterday tells me the staff fully understands the bench scorer need to. We will get someone good at PG and C that will get the job done and fil fill the need to flip this thing - have zero doubts at this point.

Allenspach is a liability on defense. He doesn't seem like a fit for GMac.

That doesn't bother me. We weren't tied to 3M and I really like him. I think we are working behind the scense. I think we will get two good players to play the pt and the 5. Who? I haven't heard a peep. We could be back in Europe for all I know. And that wouldn't bother me a bit.

Well Garwey Duel just committed, so there’s one of the pg spots
Hopefully the back up.

Everyone on here is saying he’ll most likely start (even though I agree with you)

To who ? Cox?
Really like this Dual pickup, even as a starter. Excellent defender and has improved pretty noticeably each year on offense. Definitely some spacing concerns at the moment, but hopefully we can grab a second guard and a wing who can help address that in some fashion. Something quite appealing to me about having a legit stopper at guard, idk.
Would also prefer one of the 2 (3?) bigs we bring in to be able to knock down a 3 or two as well but it seems like most of the guys we’ve been linked to in any fashion are not in that mold. Obviously could be stuff happening behind the scenes but who knows lol, not me that’s for sure.

To someone who can shoot. Maybe Cox, but hopefully better. (One can dream)

If you asked me my optimistic take, we're going after attainable backups right now while the big dogs go get their guys. Which, like it or not, seems like a good strategy.
We're probably feeling out who might be available when the dust settles, and lining up the priorities at PG and C, and then we'll try to compete with/overbid the middle tier. This should result in a decent enough roster to get us a tourney spot with better coaching.
Pessimistic take - Dual is the PG starter, in which case, see you in the new coach thread in March.
