Now that GMac is HC, what does next year's squad look like?

[SanDiegoCuse]

I’ll die on the hill that I think Kiyan will start, but I know I’m one of only a handful who think that will happen.

You may be correct. Big offseason for him.

 

[tptcuse]

You're probably right. That said I think Doty starts too because a Kiyan/Euro combination on the wings would be a nightmare.

We can guess that GMac thinks similarly to JB in terms of starting not being the end all be all. Playing time and situational substitutions are probably most important early for GMac. And keeping the NIL people happy.

 

[JeffCuse]

GMac is doing everything right so far.

Ok so White coming back probably uses up a chunk of Nil. He brings talent, defense, some 3 ball touch and some edge (DC had edge in his game as well). So good job retaining and he will be a starter. To me we still need an alpha scorer. Our nil has to go to some proven scoring.

AO will do well maximizing Sadiq’s skills. (I admit I have no basis for that opinion other than vibes.)

PG that can score. Wilkins or Wilkinson are the play. If we are bringing in Garwey to be a jack of all trades off the bench then we just need a bigtime get at the 5. The euro kid will be a bigtime scorer to bring in too.

Just having an actual compliment of different sets can help him too. Also working on him making that open 3 a consistent high pct shot for him to be able to hit 1 or occasionally 2 a game.

I would say between the 5 guys(apparently Anthony isn’t getting any) currently on the roster they are taking up 3-3.5 in Rev Share/NIL. If they are at 11-13 total there’s plenty of money for impact players at PG, SF and C plus a couple decent bench pieces.

What hill? He's definitely going to start as I think his ego will demand that (and his Dad). Who finishes is what will be interesting.

Fair enough. Lots of people here are penciling in Doty ahead of Kiyan.

I’d love to get a Morez Johnson type of high motor player who’s a ferocious rebounder and banger. You could platoon him with White at PF and he could maybe play some backup center. He was key to Michigan’s championship but often gets overlooked.

We already have our back up PF coming that spot is full

So to update, is this close to accurate?

I think Morano is a shooting guard. That is where every web site has him. And he averages less than 2 rpg. Guessing he will play SF more later, as he fills out and gets stronger.

Doty averages about 5 more rebounds/game (6.9).. I expect him to primarily play SF.

Moesch may or may not be the backup PG. I think it depends on how much money we have left.

All good points.

I see Anthony at 2 and Doty at the 3 as a good possibility.

 

[Cusefan69]

who's that?

The Folefac guy from Siena?

 

[tptcuse]

who's that?

I’m guessing he’s assuming Folefac will be here.

 

[phil77]

who's that?

Folefac

 

[Orangezoo]

Kiyan just making it official

 

[rrlbees]

Folefac

i dont count him yet. he hasnt committed.

I have counted White, Folefac, Anthony, and Doty since the beginning.

 

[rrlbees]

I have counted White, Folefac, Anthony, and Doty since the beginning.

ok

 

[721Comstock]

I have counted White, Folefac, Anthony, and Doty since the beginning.

I have counted dating Ana de Armas since the beginning too.

Sorry to say I like the odds of my 4 things happening before your 1 thing
