Auxiliary Options?

[MuggsyB]

Now that it's over who's on our radar transfer wise and can we find a productive player who can usurp rebounds at a minimum?  Very concerned about our ability to glass clean in 22/23.

[Boone]

Appears to be Gueye or bust.

Rebounding was inept last year. Highly possible will be even worse in 22-23.

Don't we have a transfer topic ongoing?

The point is we desperately need a rebounder and overlapping threads is irrelevant.

That very issue is being discussed in the transfer topic.

Don't you see, everything's changed now that JLew made official what just about everyone suspected for weeks now. Really we should have a Gueye thread and a Ramey thread.

[MuggsyB]

My apologies.

With Keels and Green gone. I would be stunned if Ramey doesn't got to Duke.

I predict MU rides with who they have.

What do you anticipate from Wrightsil?  Can he give us at least 10 and 6?

Wrightsil averaged 9 rebounds per game last season. Six, with the jump up in play, is doable on a team that doesn't stress rebounding. MU will play a lot of five out this season.

People need to stop with this....The Justin thread, recruiting thread, transfer thread all are extremely long and half of it is the same people talking to themselves or talking about Haiku's or claiming Justin is on campus. Same people all the time. Let the non-elitist MUscoop people create their threads.

To talk about the same things in different topics.  Dumb.

OK, Dodds.

I agree. I think the 10 will be more difficult than the 6 in this scenario.

Most of those have digressed into stupid banter at this point. We gotta make scoop great again. BigDaddy was our peak now were just trying to make something happen.

[MuggsyB]

Wrightsil and Joplin are huge keys to our success imo.  If Zach can get 10-12 ppg. 6 rebs or so, and guard multiple spots we could be better than many think.  Joplin wasn't ready defensively last year but he has a lot of offensive talent. Ighadoro also had his moments, perhaps we see a big jump come November. 

All that said the overall rebounding of this roster is a major question mark.  The impact of ZW can't be overstated.  He's a guy with seemingly a full arsenal but hasn't played on this level.  I think we need to find a way to get another big.

Are you Fluffy's brother or son?  Relax.

Wouldn't it be great if our existing players had an actual strength and conditioning program. That might help alleviate some of our rebounding woes. Unfortunately Todd's track record suggests that this will not be happening.

Rebounding is just as much about scheme/personnel as it is pure strength.  Don't know if Smith pissed in your cheerios or something, but the obsession with trashing him is weird.

Interesting point.  Mitchell might be able to rebound from the guard position a bit.  If we pick up Gueye we could be in business.

Why the Todd hate? Pretty sure Shaka would have replaced him if he felt like you do.

Wasn't Todd around when opposing coaches were saying that Buzz's teams looked like a football team getting off the bus?

Per his bio, next year will be his 16th at MU.  If he were the problem, someone would have noticed by now.
