We are at the flat part of the curve on defense and the steep part of the offense curve. Reducing time spent on defense to 65% could yield an outsized gain on offense.

No but we have had numerous people over the years on all forums who have on top of aligning with the interviews we have gotten and even admissions from staff (on top of tidbits from former players leaked and whatnot) about the emphasis on the defense

Maybe we should have a separate 2025 recruiting thread. Or does nobody care that much right now? haha

Nah, leave it here. You mentioned the other day that if we got Mack it would essentially take us out of it for Lewis. Same thought for Georgetown or no?

IDK why. It is accepted wisdom that each of these roster configurations are a year to year deal. But sounds good.

Another pretty big name, super athletic defender. Heās a lot like Dunn but knows he canāt shoot from the perimeter so he doesnāt really even bother.

Why do I get the feeling all of these portal entrants are looking to get a huge payday?

Probably because they are. I believe Mack made some extra money off Georgetown by inferring interest in UVA

VT picked until Rodney Brown from Cal. Apparently he averaged 4 ppgā¦ā¦

100%. Eff that guy and/or his agent. Hope we play them in a home and home and whoop them. Plus, Cooley is a jerk.

Pg yet to be named
McKneely
Ben Humdiddlyscrumptious
Dillon Mitchell
Buchanan with 20 lbs and the ability to bang down low/shoot a little if staff do view him as a PJ Hall type
Good pick n roll guy

I suspect heāll be bag chasing but there are major Bennett connections here.

Replacing Dunn with someone who somehow has even less of a pedigree as a shooter as he does wouldnāt do much to fix our offensive woes.

Dunn as an individual wasnāt the issue. If we get Ben Humrichous and Blake Buchanan takes that next step, and our next point guard can comfortably shoot, and our offensive scheme is literally ANYTHING but mover blocker, a player like Dunn/Dillion works really well
Wasnāt Tyrese Hunter the one who played for Tonyās cousin or something/he mentioned Tony as an advisor to him and it was Tony who convinced him to go back to Iowa State for another year when he thought about transferring the first time? Plssss

Tony works his personal connection with Tyrese Hunter. Tyrese brings Dillon along with him. We get Ben Humrichous. And then when Dante bounces we use that 4th scholarship on a wing 3/4 shooter like TJ Power.
And since forwards are booked we use our two 2025 scholarships on Adrien Stevens and a reclassed Christian Anderson Jr (saw he was playing aau ball, might be on the table for him)
There I go dreaming again. It was a dark 5 hours without dreams
