He has yet to do that even while at Idaho

Don't you think Michigan can compete with other schools with NIL? Carr staying two more years is not just because of NIL. He was on a competitive team that was won and getting paid. Texas was just in the Elite 8 and wasn't getting drafted if he left early. Using Michigan as an example of a...

You are the person using NIL as an excuse. We don't need NIL to win. The Final Four wasn't all coaches who have Big NIL deals for their squads

What do 5-star recruits have to do with anything? We weren't getting 5-stars before NIL. If we are losing out on recruits that we would normally get because of NIL that's one thing, but NIL isn't the top reason why were aren't competing at a high level. You keep mentioning NIL like every college...

He’s impressive at the D3 level. I think he can survive the summit. He will have his struggles because he can get away with a lot more at St. Mary’s with his freakish athleticism & strength.

I just don’t see the need. If you feel like Ihnen & Fox can’t play 5-10 at Center then they become redundant players. Neither will be able to play 3 so now we will have a log jam at the 4

He seemed to think we needed Samuels too. It doesn't mean it's what we need.

Do we need one?

This. I'm not saying go Garcia only at 5 but for 10 minutes a game with a JOJ or Betts type at 4, we would have an offensive advantage. This is why big ten teams struggle vs quicker teams in the tournament. I don't understand why this is complicated to understand

Nothing wrong with that pairing in spurts like 10-15 minutes a game but if we go heavy minutes together 25-30 without more shooting we are in trouble imo

I would start Payne & Garcia but try to rest 1 and play 1 for at least 10-20 min a game. I'm not saying they should ever play together but if we are playing them together for 25-30 minutes we better have 3 other shooters on the court because that was our biggest offensive issue last year. Our...

There is literally 0 evidence to support it

So what leads you to believe that Wilson has the motor to be a rebounder or defender?

They will do that to him at the 4 too. What makes it any different? He played plenty of minutes at the 4 last year and averaged almost 3 fouls a game. Dawson's problem is he's a tweener and there really isn't a position he can guard successfully. Same issue Jamison had. Dawson guards a 5 they...

Who said he has to play the post. Look at the best teams. They play an open offense not posting anyone. Playing Garcia at the 5 in a 5 out offense gives us an advantage playing him at the 3 doesn't because he would only have an only have an advantage posting up smaller players which goes back to...

This is the part I can't get behind. If we played a player like Wilson at the 5 with Garcia, it would clog space for him to be effective. That's why when he and Pharrell played together, he struggled to score, and the offense became stagnant. Garcia is better playing in more of a Jokic type 5...

I don't see many teams playing through the post the way the Big Ten used to be. His injuries will happen no matter what position. I would be much more concerned about foul trouble than wear & tear. I wouldn't want him 30 minutes at the 5 but at least 10-12 would be beneficial imo

We see it differently. He’s more effective as a small ball 5 than at the 4. He could flourish if we played him at the 5 with more space and shooters around him. I think playing on a team full of non-shooters takes away his effectiveness, which is beating slower bigs off the bounce.

Dennis Rodman weighed less than half the dudes he out rebounded. If being strong made him that much of a rebounder why wasn’t he playing the emergency center role at Wazzou.
