BB will be a MU All-Timer if he stays healthy and plays all four years.  Love this kid.

He's a good role player. I think you might be overstating his value by calling him an all-timer, though. He might break through next year and take on a more prominent role, but I haven't seen enough from him yet to assume that will happen. He's got potential for sure, but he hasn't put it all together consistently enough to be in the conversation you're putting him in.

And I saying he will put it together....

I hope he really steps up his game and proves you right. We'll need that next year especially.

[Markusquette]

He's going to be elite defensively. If he can keep developing his offensive game on top of the 3 he will be a star.

Brendan will be 23 next year. Should make some additional strides with his strength and athleticism.

Things will be a little different next year without Markus. BB won't have nearly the space to work with and will need to be able to do more off the dribble to become an all time great. Think you might want to pump the brakes a bit.

You thought John Dawson was good...right?

Spacing will be different, but adding Garcia also changes spacing for someone like BB.

It sure looks like it will be a treat having McEwen's solid ball-handling and passing, with Torrence's past-first gameplan.  Bailey should thrive.  When was our last pass-first point guard?  It's been a while, and we're not used to one making others on the floor look better than they are.

Yes. I did think John Dawson was good/had potential. (Certainly better than Derrick Wilson.).  Symir's KenPom comp is John Dawson's freshman year at MU.

Will be fun to see how the team is structured next year. Have only seen Garcia's highlight videos - he looks very skilled, and perhaps similar skill set as BB?

If 4 of our starters next year are Koby, Symir, Theo, and Brendan, our offense might have some issues. Brendan has upside, but he can't come close to replacing Markus.

Seriously, let's not trawl with this bait again.

He shouldn't be because he isn't your normal sophomore age wise. He turned 22 last spring.

When I think of MU "all timers" I think D Wade, Butch Lee, Meminger, Luke, GT, Jimmy Chones and Bo. Next tier Markus, Kojis, Tatum, JFB, Jae, T Smith and Travis. 3rd tier Dom, Wesley, Lazar, Whitehead and Jerel.

If BB ends up in tier 3 I'll be very happy - but to me that's not an MU "all timer".
