I say bring back Chase for a 5th year when that rule goes thru.....

[Don_Kojis]

Never bring back Chase.  He had a terrible year and proved he isn't a leader.  He was a good complementary player.

So close we can taste it

Do we need to prep the bunker?

It was "tongue in cheek"....LOL....Because all the speculation that has been "flung" at this site....

Good to see that there is interest....At least....

FYI, Trilly Donovan (THE cbb insider) said 4 hrs ago Marquette is the favorite to land Minnesale and implied it's close to being done if not already.

Would be great news.  Bonus if MU fans learn to spell his name.

It's Minessale. Mines/sale.  Minessale.

Brother, come on.

[Cream Biggums]

Would Minessale start for us at the 3, or play a 6th man role? Or could he bump Stevens out of the starting 2 spot? I guess we're looking at something like

Fru             Pearson    Hamilton  Clark
Parham     Egbuonu
Minessale Owens      Miletic
Stevens     Phillips II  Johnston  Walker
James Jr.  Transfer

Looks great CB!

[muwarrior69]

I like Minesalle better personally but Rileys FTR stats are enticing.  Im not sure Riley is going to be a good shooter at the HM level.  He shot 39% sure,  but made less than 1 a game. When he shot more at Cal Baptist, his percentage was 28%.

Id be down for both, but think it may be an either or deal

If not both, what other position/transfer are we looking at?

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

Brother, come on.

You're right, it's hopeless.

After all these years, Scoopers can barely spell Ramsey.

Spot on. The big question is, why is Hamilton still on this team?

I would expect that would depend on who is added with the last scholarship as well as competition. I can't imagine Shaka is guaranteeing him a starting spot.

Again, I'm surprised I see a number of people thinking adding a transfer that is strictly a back-up PG makes any sense. To me it would be a waste of a scholarship. I think it would be very difficult to find a quality player who wants to transfer play 6-10 MPG behind James.

Despite the concerns, that's why Riley or perhaps another player makes sense.

I just think if we get Minessale we no longer have much of a role to offer a pg or combo guard, 10min is all we have to spare. Where do we find any role for Riley? Shaka seems to be all in on Stevens, and Nigel obviously needs to play most of the game. I think back to a guy like Joseph Chartouny, as to what an ideal fit to fill out this roster would be.

Minessale can run the point.  He would backup James while also starting.

I also believe the staff view nash as a PG

If we wanted both there are minutes available. 6th men can still get 20 to 25 minutes a game

[Uncle Rico]

Spot on. The big question is, why is Hamilton still on this team?

To make people mad.  I dig it

[We R Final Four]

Or could he bump Stevens out of the starting 2 spot?

Highly, highly doubtful.
Stevens is and will be front and center on all MUBB marketing along with NJ and RP.

[tower912]

Spot on. The big question is, why is Hamilton still on this team?

Because he wants to be.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Who cares if our #3/#4 center is still on the roster if the rest of the team is good?

HDS alive and strong!

TAMU already responded but in the hypothetical where we add Minessale and Riley, I would expect one to start and one to be the 6th man.  They also both could play the 1 at times.

Maybe adding both is redundant - we'll see.  I'd just much rather use that last roster spot on another combo guard or a wing.

[The Sultan]

I thought we could have a million monkeys in front of a million keyboards, and it would take a million years before this setence would appear on Scoop.

Anyway, if we do end up with Minessale, I think a multi-year physical guard like Amari Evans or Kelvin Odih would be a decent pick up.
