Yeah, preference will most likely be for man but this past year showed that zone can be effective for us. Last year we played a lot of zone out of necessity to keep guys out of foul trouble and what not. Assuming we have a more normal sized rotation next year they can employ zone when it is...

Maybe....maybe not. Would seem likely that he is behind Evans and Asuma in the guard rotation but beyond that it will come down to how guys play. He has a year in Niko's system under his belt which should help him in competing with the new faces.

Well said. He clearly wasn't ready yet as a true freshman last year....but he was forced to play a significant role on the team after all the injuries and he showed flashes of being a solid player. Some fans look at all the guys in the portal and want to treat it like building a fantasy team...

I get the non-scholarship part but high school? He is 20 and has played in college.....

Yeah, PG is definitely a position where you can make a huge impact on the game without scoring a bunch of points.

That would be quite the trick since their leading scorer last year averaged 14 ppg. :)

Says something about this current landscape when it is surprising to have a young player decide to stick around as opposed to jump ship :)

I guess.....just seems like a waste of time on everyone's part.

I really don't understand why guys with no eligibility left are even allowed to enter the transfer portal. Dawson did the same thing and I am sure it happens with other teams as well. Just seems pointless to enter your name in the portal when you can't play next year anyway.

As others have said this is great news. He got some valuable experience in his true freshman season and should be better for it in year 2. He should be in a position to provide quality back court depth next season.

Don't sleep on JCJ taking another step. There were times last year when was clearly the best player on the floor. He averaged 13 points and 7 rebounds last year. Another off season of development and experience, if he can come back and add a few points to that average he pretty quickly...

The tricky part for a lot of fans is that believing the guys we are bringing in will be good requires hope and trust which are things many struggle with. Kordel, Groves and Grady don't have proven track records at the college level and Evans was good not great at CSU and then a mess last year...

Agree....Grove may develop into a starter at some point but right now he is best suited as a key rotation piece who can come in off the bench and give you quality minutes every night. Teams absolutely need guys like Grayson but hopefully we are not in a position where we need him to start...

The way the team played while short handed and under sized definitely earns Niko some benefit of the doubt that he is a good judge of guys that will fit his system and play the way he wants them too which in turn enables them to overcome other factors. This will be the test of that for sure in...

What a weird story.....if it turns out the player was just out right ignoring police instructions what a bonehead move on his part this close to the draft. It is similar to the guys who fail a drug test right before the draft....you want these teams to invest millions of dollars in you....don't...

Interesting that Iowa and Iowa State don't even show up in the list of schools for him.

The strange part of that graphic is why they put Shinholster on it and not Asuma. Reynolds was the team leader, Asuma was second and then there is a wide gap between them and everyone else on the roster. I wonder if someone in the graphics department just messed up because it doesn't make...

The crazy part is how much it has changed in such a short amount of time. Coaches have had to navigate a complete overhaul to the way they build and maintain their rosters and locker rooms. And on top of that it keeps on changing and evolving every year as more changes are made.

Need to add and S to one of the 2 Grove players you have listed on the roster :)

Wouldn't shock me to see one more guard added. Assume that if Shinholster is transferring he will jump in the portal now that Evans has committed. If he doesn't then he fits into the back court mix which is still a little thin but has some options.
