What happens at the point guard position? All-American Tyler Kolek is off to the NBA, and backup point guard Sean Jones is still recovering from a torn ACL suffered last January. Shaka Smart could opt to move Kam Jones to the point guard spot; he's a big-time scorer and shooter, but he has shown playmaking ability. Stevie Mitchell could also handle the ball more often.
Projected starting lineup
Kam Jones (17.2 PPG)
Stevie Mitchell (8.8 PPG)
Chase Ross (6.1 PPG)
David Joplin (10.8 PPG)
Ben Gold (5.0 PPG)

This is where ESPN had MarquetteSeptember 2024
Replace irreplaceable Kam with Nigel.
Replace Awesome Stevie with Adrien.
Replace Super Jop with Royce.
Zaide and others off the bench.
Let the chips fall where they may this year.
Add Sheek others and Transfers next year.
Let the chips fall where they may.

pretty much so since we really don't know if Sheek is any good. We were told Caedin is good. Or, Ben has NBA written all over him. Or, reports from open practice the team looks good. So yeah, I guess just let the chips fall. Can't be worse, right?

Quote from: WellsstreetWanderer on December 11, 2025, 10:49:17 AMWise man. Covid shot killed a childhood friend and it was unpleasant. 3,000% increase in myocarditis is big concern. Studies are out showing the dangers of mRNA being injected into humans as it migrates into major organs. By definition it is also not a vaccine nor was safety and efficacy ever investigated.

Obviously it "migrates into major organs." Anything that enters the bloodstream "migrates into major organs," medications, supplements, vaccines, vitamins, nutrients from food, etc. etc. etc. Where else would the circulation take it? 

Quote from: onepost on December 11, 2025, 05:13:06 PMI've been incredibly annoying about the talent issues we've had this season - so I need to keep the same energy with giving Shaka props for the talent he's after in 2027 at guard. Jaxson Davis, Devin Cleveland, Micah Gordon, and Antonio Pemberton are all top-60 (per 247) recruits, and it seems like those are the four Shaka has prioritized.  Would love to land a couple of them if the numbers work out.

Kohnen, Knueppel, Davis are also highly ranked so we're after plenty of big fish.

Davis deserves to be with the first group, while the other 2 should be depth options. Shaka is in on high level talent in the class. Really needs to land a couple of them, or similar level of players.

Would think Sherronne's wife and kids will be entering the transfer portal.

Good try, but if silly things like facts, data, or studies swayed them, they wouldn't be where they are in the first place.
