Good. He was learning how to play high level basketball again this season. There is potential.Guess Cuffe is staying

Offense would translate. Would be important to have a backup that can protect the rim. Hopefully Patterson is ready if McLeod bolts.A very good player. has it all for us. & footer. Big on rebounds and a good shooter. Ivy scares me a bit though.
Brown and Freeman will be starting even if it’s the token fab melo freshman minutes. Brown isn’t coming back here to come off the bench. And he shouldn’t.Portal PG/Cuffe/Westry
JJ/Moore/Westry
Bell/Westry
Freeman(Brown)/Brown(Freeman)
Portal C/Brown/Patterson
Is that what we are looking at?
Hopefully he can build off his great play against North Carolina... oh wait NM.Guess Cuffe is staying
But if we portal for a really strong lead guard, we have Chance, Moore, Starling (and Cuffe) to round out the backcourt.Why risk it on someone who’s played very little college games, has barely played for 2 years due to injuries? If he wants to come back as a possible 10th guy but with every player being up for grabs it seems foolish to count on someone you don’t need to.
If a problem is one of the "leaders" of the team, it will grow into other problems down the line. Red couldn't rip the bandaid without coaching a single game this year, so he had to try and "turn around a problem".A great coach can turn around a problem and make him much better than letting a kid quit on himself. I gave seen it with many kids I have helped, many kids coming from broken homes and living day to day, meal to meal.

Brown start at the 4 or 5? Or does it depend on what promises need to be made to our 3 and a portal 5?Brown and Freeman will be starting even if it’s the token fab melo freshman minutes. Brown isn’t coming back here to come off the bench. And he shouldn’t.
I think Brown starts at the 5..Donnie’s the best PF in the country. You don’t get a guy like that unless he’s coming to play PF. Brown slides to the 4 when Nyheim checks in. I don’t expect a blockbuster pick up at the center position honestly. It’s really how the staff views PattersonBrown start at the 4 or 5?

Couldn’t Donnie play small forward?I think Brown starts at the 5..Donnie’s the best PF in the country. You don’t get a guy like that unless he’s coming to play PF.

Not much room to get an impact guy then. Just pg.I think Brown starts at the 5..Donnie’s the best PF in the country. You don’t get a guy like that unless he’s coming to play PF.

Sounds like Bell is coming back and it would be to start at SF.Couldn’t Donnie play small forward?

Exactly..a lead guard is what we should all be salivating overNot much room to get an impact guy then. Just pg.

I like Reynolds, but to me he’s a better version of JJ. Not saying it won’t work, but we’ve done the combo guard thing for so long I was really hoping for a legit pg.Exactly..a lead guard is what we should all be salivating over
Board won't implode unless it's GMac.It’s not Maliq. Although he is very very close with Taylor. 2 great teammates. But Reds system is a perfect fit for Brown to showcase his talents.
I was just mentioning the board Implosion bc there were some that didn’t believe Q was going to leave I think
I don’t know what Reds thoughts are on the Center position just trying to read the situation at hand. Maliq isn’t coming out of the game. Donnie not coming out either if he’s as advertised. Hard to get an established big to come play behind thatThat puts a little damper on things I was hoping this was one of the areas that Red would realize that we need major improvement at. Seems like Freeman takes Taylor spot - Westry takes Copeland spot and we portal to replace Mintz and everything else stays the same.
Should have played Cuffe over these me first high turnover turtle up when challenged portalersA great coach can turn around a problem and make him much better than letting a kid quit on himself.

I'd think they'd probably want to roll the dice on someone though. Otherwise, why not have Carey stick around?I don’t know what Reds thoughts are on the Center position just trying to read the situation at hand. Maliq isn’t coming out of the game.

I was talking about highschool haha. It would be a beautiful thing if he turns out to be the best PF in college next year..I'm high on Donnie just as much as others but I can tell you right now he will not be the best PF in the country next year.
