Welcome, Marcus Adams Jr.!
-
Our latest commitment… Class of 24, possibly moving to 23.
Big wing… 6’8"… strong wing! His legs are already a match with JWil!

Should be a great fit for Self’s “positionless” squad! (even though we are aging some good bigs for next year)
Self mentions adapting to a 4-1 lineup (4 guards, 1 big).
Our current team is a 1-4 (1 pg, 4 guards)! lol
Yes… I consider KJ a guard now because he definitely isn’t a big and we’ve phased out the “forward” position and a wing isn’t a small forward, but a big guard.
Vernacular has changed, just like the game!
Someone help me out here…
Originally… wasn’t it - 2 guards, 2 forwards, 1 center
Then… 1 point guard, 1 shooting guard, 1 small forward, 1 power forward, 1 center
Then… 1 point guard, 1 guard, 1 wing, 1 forward, 1 center
Then… 1 point guard, 3 guards, 1 center
It seems like though the 1 point guard, 1 shooting guard, 1 small forward, 1 power forward, 1 center was the most-defined concept, it was hardest to master because the roles were more specific and it was rare to recruit such perfect players to fit the roles.
Since we have several guys who can handle the ball in backcourt pressure, and we don’t often run specific plays through a pg set, we can sometimes define our team as 4 guards, 1 big.
Self speaks more about positionless… and with a small big like KJ… I’m okay calling our current team a 5-guard lineup.

My DAWG meter is going off here.

Will be really interesting to see how prepared he is. Potential to be our most important freshman
-
I have modest expectations here. It’ll be a HUGE jump in competition and freshmen usually have a tough adjustment, especially now. No knock on Adams, it’s the 23 class in general.

Yeah I think he can contribute next year. Not starting but as a solid bench piece.
I think Elmarko will start barring something crazy.
The other two guys are definitely development pieces. I think some people will be in for a surprise there with CJ because of his ranking.
