What I want next season
-
-
I want two scoring combo guards or lead guards in the backcourt. That is where Self thrives and this should help our offense. Taylen Kinney might be one of these. We should probably pick up another in the portal.
-
I want a starting wing in the vein of a Marcus Garrett or Melvin council. Probably a portal guy though I have my eyes on Trent Perry.
-
I want us to save the 6 million that Stokes wants (use it for some good portal combo guards and wings) and for us to start Rosario at the 4 next year. He will rebound, defend, help give our big man space, and I think his shots will fall.
-
Unless his demands are outrageous, I want us to keep Flory. Give him more spacing with a four around 1 lineup next year.
-
Keep Mbiya. Have him rotate in with Flory to give us a change of pace bruiser off the bench.
-
Play Luke Barnett big minutes off the bench. Tell him to let it fly.
-
Find a way to get Adkins some minutes too. Maybe at the 4 if need be. His defense can be a great tool.

I don't really feel strongly about keeping anybody on this roster. An entirely new team would be crazy of course, but that seems the way of the world these days.
But what i want: A legit big with talent. Flory is too small. MORE than a few excellent shooters. A guard who can penetrate and get to the rim.
Flory: I like him, but hasn't lead us to the promised land so far.
Rosario: Play him at the 4? Hmmm.
Mbiya: always nice to have a big big on the squad.
The recruits: no clue.
A Melvin or Marcus on the wing: I think i've lost track of what "wing" means in college hoops. It used to be a small forward, but now seems to include shooting guards. IMO a wing needs to be at least 6-7.
-
We played 4 guards in 2018 and 2022 not sure why Self seems to refuse to go back to it.
-
I want NIL money to go away and for players to stay four years.
And world peace.
