Could have swore I saw somewhere that we at least inquired on Tre Mitchell.I still am holding out hope we sign another difference maker.

Also my fear though I'll take this option over Frank leaving anyway and not having Sidibe and having to hope to find someone else.Couldn't blame Frank at all- he wants to play. How is a 3rd string center going to play? This is what the portal is for, to help players find a better situation. I fear Frank goes, Bourama gets hurt can't play and there is only one center.
I don’t believe we didCould have swore I saw somewhere that we at least inquired on Tre Mitchell.
I think Torrence is going to be better than most are giving him credit for but even then I'm uncomfortable going into the season with him as the only option off the bench.We need a guard who can handle the ball against pressure, break down a defense, shoot a decent % and defend.
If that’s Torrence, great. If not, we better be looking.
Elijah Hughes is not here to carry the load anymore. Marek probably not here to help either.
Ok. Thought the beat writer who wasn't tall enough mentioned we were but figured that was a long shot at best.I don’t believe we did
You know how JB is lol
NoInsiders thought he was gone right?
I don't know what you're asking with the "afraid of Sidibe getting hurt" thing.So, you're going to start Jesse because you're afraid of Sid getting hurt? Seems like a better strategy would be to wait and see if/when it happens.
Edwards certainly is not better than Sidibe was. And ties go to the senior veteran who has paid his dues.
I am referring to the fact that many have said he has tremendous upside And 4 more years of eligibility so I don't understand your argument.Um why wouldn't you bring back the best center on your roster when healthy if he wants to come back? I'm not sure what you saw to say that Frank is a potential star?
By all accounts he's very intelligent and an excellent student.He's what? 19?
At a Top school playing a game which gives him $100K a year in benefits.
Get real he isn't 38 with a family in a dead end job...he is in a great situation and needs to prove he can beat out a couple kids who were not heavily recruited. If he can't he better study hard
I am not saying that it will cause him to transfer. I and others have said that that opens the possibility in people's minds that 1 of them or Frank may transfer and if that does happen that's where my argument comes in that's for my disagreement comes in OK you understand that now. Putting words in my mouthI think this is great news and that we should give a little benefit of doubt to the coaches that they understand things we don’t - namely, one, the chances of sidibe being able to contribute and, two, whether and how this affects Frank’s decision (if at all).
why in the world do you think you can intelligently opine that this will impact Frank’s decision? What if it’s clear he’s leaving? Or clear he’s staying? What if he has declined to share his plans? Your post assumes he’s on the fence and this is the tipping point. Maybe it is but your post relies on that as fact. Where is the logic in that?
3 guards is big time risky...I would say 4 is the minimum if not 5 to be safe for a whole season.I think the chances of landing a 4th guard are somewhere around 0%. Symir will be here for 2 more years and will be a bridge to a guard potentially in the '22 class.
Happy for Bourama but dont like this for our roster, especially considering we didn’t bring in a big in this class.
no he has 5 more to play 4 .No. This is not accurate. He has 5 years to play 5 now.
What makes people think that 100% Frank is better than say 50% Bourama? They base that on his play?Um why wouldn't you bring back the best center on your roster when healthy if he wants to come back? I'm not sure what you saw to say that Frank is a potential star?
To recap, the convo started from my taking exception to Cusefan0307's quote in post 47 "Jesse needs to be the starting center next year and I can't stress that enough". When you agreed with Cusefan you added that health is a concern with Sid.I don't know what you're asking with the "afraid of Sidibe getting hurt" thing.
I'm saying, it's not a tie.
Right now, Edwards is better.
Healthy, Sidibe might be better. But he's not healthy right now. And historically, he hasn't been.
I'm actually more concerned about Sidibe's long-term health outlook than I am whether he's the starting center. I'm worried the dude legit has potato knees.
I guess I'm saying we don't need to wait for "until it becomes a problem." It's a problem right now. It's a problem for Sidibe until it's proven that it isn't a problem.To recap, the convo started from my taking exception to Cusefan0307's quote in post 47 "Jesse needs to be the starting center next year and I can't stress that enough".

I agree, health is a concern but until it becomes a problem Sid should be the presumptive starter.
Edwards has never had as good of a stretch as Sid had in Feb/March of 2020. Jesse has a lot of potential, but as of right now the penciled in starter should be Sid. Plenty of minutes for both.
JB is not going to play 3 centers unless he thinks Frank can give us some minutes at the 4 (which seems unlikely with Jimmy Jr coming)
I'm not an insider but always thought there was a good chance of him coming back. He has to prove to an overseas team that he can stay healthy.Insiders thought he was gone right?
we played 4 centers.. sidibe got hurt, frank got sick, Edwards and Marek finished the yearHe didn't play 4 centers this year.
