I think Kyle is ideal, handle good enough to play some 4 as well.Milan will get stronger and I bet he gets taller. Jackson's 6'11..260lbs. Rock's over 7. I want another big in the portal, but our small problem starts with Lipsey which I could care less about. I wouldn't mind seeing Watson or a transfer play the 3, but Jones doesn't give up that much size does he? I want him on the court as much as possible without having to take Gilbert or Lipsey out. Lots of moving parts before next season so what do I know. Just drinking Kool aid speculating.
Yes to Watson!At the same time, you can look at plenty of successful teams in March that were small. Villanova had a ton of success playing really small. Also, many of these possible lineups aren’t that small. Johnson or Rock at the 5 and Milan at the 4 and two wings that are 6’4-6’5 is plenty big.
Going small means a skill upgrade. So I think a caveat to that is a skill upgrade by Watson in the off-season, which I think is highly likely. If Watson can hit some shots and become deadly with some 1-2 dribble moves, he could be a huge difference-maker at the 4. That would be a fairly small lineup, but he’s a really good rebounder.
Obviously how well transfers work out will determine much about the season, but I think Watson’s offensive development will be as much of a determining factor as any.
With the Heisenberg addition, Torvik has ISUs roster as one of the top in the country
I think Watson will add a lot to his game.What is the scouting report on Indrusitas? We don't need a starter but it would be nice to get a couple younger guys some minutes for the following season.
Also, I hope Watson can develop some offensive game and shooting.
That is what has been reportedWas there a Zoom meeting last week? Then this visit?
Add another confirmed target.
Could mean we struck out on Hadley and Kyle?
I hope you're right here. Chatfield seems decent but nothing more than a bench guy.I would say it's more of a "in Case we struck out" type thing. We need backup recruits as well.
It doesn't mean that until you see other people showing up for in-person visits - contact is just contact, coaches contact tons of playersCould mean we struck out on Hadley and Kyle?
Imo it means Jackson, Rock, and someone like Kyle aren’t enough (and it’s a risk to depend on Rock to play major minutes)Could mean we struck out on Hadley and Kyle?
Agreed. Even if you hit on 2 of Hadley/Kyle/Jefferson/Daily/whoever, you have another spot left and another guy who at least physically looks like he can slot it at the 5 without worries is just probably where I'd look for that last spot anyway. If you bring him in and Rock beats him out, that says a lot about Rock's development and would be an awesome sign.Imo it means Jackson, Rock, and someone like Kyle aren’t enough (and it’s a risk to depend on Rock to play major minutes)
Imagine Jackson goes down with injury. Now you’re needing Rock to play 20+ minutes if you don’t have another body. Also practicing against two bigs
